If you haven't gone to The Capital Grille, go. Have a Stoli Doli at the bar with Leon the fantastic bartender, then sit down for a wonderful time with amazing food. The servers are really terrific. Really a terrific gem on the other side of Michigan Avenue.

I had a really bad day at work, and really did'nt feel like attending dinner afterwards. Upon arrival to The Capital Grille, everything changed. I felt taken care of from when I walked in the door. Our server, Vanya, was spectacular. Knowledgeable, friendly, and accomodating. Have the lobster and crab cakes. Go and ask for Vanya!

I have been to The Capital Grille for one business group of about thirty, and one time for a wedding reception with about forty-five. It was such a refreshing change from a hotel, or other banquet-type facility! Food, service, and the atmosphere was top-notch.

I had been to The Capital Grille in Chicago the most, and also in Boston and Charlotte. Always a great time. Someone asked me to lunch recently, and suggested The Capital Grille. Before, I had always thought of it as a high-end steakhouse, with prices too prohibitive for lunch. It was no more expensive than any other place for lunch, and so much better!

After several wonderful nights at the Capital Grille of Miami I looked forward dining at the Capital Grille of Chicago. I was very impressed with the beautiful dining room. And that was it! We were served the wrong vintage wine. Both steaks at our table were overcooked. No visit from management. Loud open kitchen.
Pros: Wine List, Dining Room, Valet
Cons: , Food, Noise

To say our waiter was inattentive would be an understatement. My steak was sitting so long before having been served it was cool and gray when it arrived. A disappointing experience to say the least. Not worth the trip with so many other great steak restaurants in the city.

Hostess station: Extremely pleasant and acommodating. Bartender: Absolutely delightful. Waitress: the pits. We had to practically lasso our unfriendly waitress on numerous occasions to have her visit our table (we suspect because we were a table of women, as she frequented the male-dominated tables that surrounded us). The steak was good, but the appetizers were extremely lacking. Tarter sauce with fine lump crab meat, or the undercooked lobster/crab fritters with the bland corn salsa? Yuck.

Complaining about a wait time when you show up at a 5 star restaurant with no reservation?
I have dined capital grille in connecticut and illinois and they are by far the best steak I have ever encountered. They have a flavor that is out of this world. The creme brulee is a must have for any sweet tooth. The vegatables were cooked to perfection (try the asparagus) and don't even get me started on the lobster. Everything I tasted was phenomenal and I plan on dining their again and again.
Pros: location, menu, ambience
Cons: , in the party room

The Capital Grille, is, hands down, the best steakhouse in Chicago. It has the most elegant dining room, it provides a terrific value for power lunches, and extrordinary ambience for romantic and business dinners. There is a terrific private room for large parties, too!The the steak is dry-aged, unlike Morton's, and the seafood cannot be topped. The service is the best I have ever had anywhere. The staff is the most professional and knowledgeable I have ever seen. This is Chicago's new quintessential restaurant.
Pros: Service, Ambience, Food
