It was a great dinner with an excellent service. The food arrived so fast that you know it is not made at the moment.
And I love Caesar Salad and I know when the dressing is not home made. I didn’t like it at all.
But the Filet Mignon was amazing and cooked perfectly.
Our waiter suggested a really nice wine and we have a very nice time.

I had high expectations for this restaurant and was hoping for an exceptional steak, but I found it to be just average. As someone who seeks out great steaks around the world, this one didn’t meet the mark. For the price, I don't believe it's worth it. The service wasn’t bad, but it didn’t rise to the level of fine dining either.

I recently visited Capital Grille in the Galleria Mall in Fort Lauderdale for a late lunch, and my experience was a mix of highs and lows. I opted to sit in the bar area, located in a back corner, which unfortunately turned out to be less than ideal due to cleanliness issues. The backs of the seats were covered in dust, which was surprising and disappointing for a restaurant that prides itself on quality service and ambiance, especially when serving food.
On the positive side, my meal was undeniably delicious. The flavors and presentation were spot on, and I truly enjoyed every bite. However, my experience was marred by some service hiccups. My waitress forgot to order my drink, leading to a frustrating 30-minute wait while the table next to mine received multiple drink orders. This oversight was particularly disappointing given the restaurant's reputation for attentive service.
Adding to the frustration, my friend's order of a medium-well burger came out completely burnt, which is unacceptable in any dining establishment. While I understand that even the best restaurants can have off days, the combination of dust and service issues left a sour note on an otherwise promising meal.
In summary, while the food at Capital Grille is commendable, the lack of cleanliness and service inconsistencies overshadowed the experience. I hope they address these issues to ensure a better dining experience for future guests.

My niece graduated from College two weeks ago and we celebrated at Capital Grille in Ft. Lauderdale. I’ve had the dining experience of CG in Palm Beach Gardens and Miami several times, so not a newcomer.
The food, as always, was on point!! Well seasoned, well grilled to perfection, beautifully plated, and perfect temperature. They did serve the dishes in the manner we’ve come to know for Capital Grille! My compliments to the Chefs and cooks!! They were the best part of this particular restaurant.
On service, woefully poor at this restaurant!! You would think that a party of 10, several visiting from out of town, would receive the best of care. Sadly, we did not. How so?
Guests should not:
1. Have to call their server for additional needs
2. Have to ask another server to have our server come to the table (I believe our server’s name is Felix)—Latin man with a mustache
3. When we arrived and asked for drinks, he responded, “you can look for yourself on the tablet”. I beg your pardon!! What? We re-addressed him and asked for the drinks we were looking for.
4. Our server’s attitude gave us the impression that we were a bother to him. Really? It’s not as if he was busy. Our dining time was 5:30pm and our area was practically empty when we arrived.
Finally fed up with this level of non-service, I asked for the Manager who had frequented our 10 person table early in the dinner. Sadly also, he was of no help. He apologized and said he would take care of it. Never saw him again before we left.
Diners beware…..you WILL receive excellent food. This particular establishment needs some tuning up of some of their staff.
Disappointing dining experience for such an important occasion. I won’t be back!

Beautiful atmosphere and food. We had the special lunch of salmon and I had the tuna which was perfect. Our server Pete was polite and helpful. The chef, Gerry was so friendly and a beautiful spirit. We were happy to fine here and more Happy about the salted butter and crisp bread we had to start! Thank you for the memorable feast
