Reviews for The Capital Grille in Fort Lauderdale, FL
My wife and I have been coming to the Capital Grill for about 1/3 of a century. This particular Capital Grill is the best we... have ever been to in all our travels, significantly better than the closer Boca Raton for us. Traveling to the Galleria Mall andlunch at The Capital is a wonderful treat. The Calamari is the best anywhere we have ever eaten in the USA & Europe. You willnever eat calamari at another restaurant or another Capital Grill (see the photo)! We love everything, but they have the bestmeat, see the rare burger photo that you cannot get anywhere rare and safe like the Capital. Management and all servers andsupport staff are warm, smiling in a friendly upscale environment. Many claim it is expensive, but they have the best lunchchoices less than a not so charming local buffets that are not clean. The Capital Grill is immaculate, kitchen is open for allto see, dignified, warm, large roomy tables, the bathrooms are the best in the area and if you want wine they have a superbselection (see photo). The Capital is a great spot for a date. It is quiet, cozy and dignified all in a great package. Moreover,you can also eat outside if that is your preference. Read more
Another stomp at the Capital Grill at the Galleria Mall last night to celebrate a friends birthday and another memorable dinner... evening (2430 E. Commercial BL, Ft Laud). The place was full. All the ladies were dressed to the nines, a pageantry of summerhaute couture, but the men were more casually sporty, yet making sure that their diamond studded Rolexes’ bling would benoticed by all. Everything was excellent except the French onion soup that was uninspiring, bland, and the top layer ofGruyère was thin and barely melted. The other appetizers were: a wedge lettuce topped with blue cheese dressing and largemorsels of thick smoked bacon; and, a shrimp cocktail loaded with 5 XL shrimps. Our entrées were: a generous portion of 4double-bone meaty lamb chops with a mint-honey crust with under a wine-shallot jus, prepared to perfection; a bone-in Konacrusted (coffee rubbed) dry-aged NY strip covered with shallot butter sauce, prepared medium-rate providing a vigorous flavor;and, the roasted chicken breast enveloped in a crisp outer layer texture, yet moist and tender (the mushroom and Parmesanrisotto side was substituted for garlic green beans). The table-sharing accoutrements were boats of: cream spinach, smooth andtasty; au-gratin potatoes in a blend of cheeses – delicious but the cheese sauce was way too saucy for my liking); andBrussels sprouts sautéed in a spicy infusion to elevate its flavor, then broiled for crispy texture . We were too full fordessert, but they brought a complimentary b-day platter with 2 mini cake samples (chocolate mousse cake and crème brûlée).Excellent! (Because of the meh soup, I would have given this review 4.5 stars but I’m going for 5. I’ve had that soup manytimes before and it always was excellent, but because the soup was bland yesterday, maybe it was only yesterday. The food wasAbout $75/person – not including alcoholic drinks, tax, and gratuity). Read more

Amazing steakhouse. We went with a party of 5 ... Thank goodness we had reservations. The service was amazing, and despite... being pretty high end steakhouse not too snooty. We had some teenagers and they really enjoyed it. Steaks are top notch, but Igotta say the sides were some of the best- lobster Mac, Brussels, truffle fries. Great drinks and a nice wine menu. They donot rush you which is great. Read more
Went here for the hubby's birthday dinner.... and we were so impressed. Had an 8:45pm reservation, arrived earlier than planned,... and they were able to accommodate us. Service was superb. Food was plendid. They even had a birthday card waiting at the tablefor the hubby, and a complimentary dessert. All in all, we had a really good evening. Thank you Capital Grille Read more
I love this restaurant, we went twice in one day. It was recommended by an employee at the mall for lunch and she suggested we... try the “lobster burger”. We called and they said they no longer have it on the menu but they checked with the chef and hesaid he will make it. Once we arrived at the restaurant, not only did they have our table waiting for us, they already had toldour wonder waitress Jennifer and she just confirmed once we were seated. Jen service was so nice and welcoming that we cameback the same night for dinner and asked to be seated in her section. The food was amazing and the service was even better. Thank you so much Jen for the wonderful food recommendations and pairing of the wine. We really appreciate you and yourservice! Read more
Delicious dishes, way over priced but you are paying for the name and ambiance. I recommend the steak and salmon. Cooked to... perfection. The crab cakes are also amazing. Not too fond of the bar but the wine has a nice selection. Great date night orbirthday spot. End the night with a dessert.... you will certainly enjoy it. Read more
