As always the food was great and the atmosphere was perfect. The Clam Chowder and Calamarie were yummy.

Great service, fabulous food and just a plain wonderful experience. My only complaint was that I choose this restaurant based on their web menu; stuffed shrimp. However, they no longer offer this dish:(

Oh my! when one wants steak, this is the place! Clearly others feel the same as is always busy. With a rich dark wood decor with both tables and wonderful booths: some in alcoves, there is also sometimes available the "wine room" which is our favorite location. One is always welcomed warmly. Service always good and consistent, a range of... More

There are lots of very good steakhouses in Chicago, but this is my favorite. The filets are always perfectly cooked, the appetizers and sides are excellent, service is good, and there is a very good (although pricey) wine list that features quite a number of big Cabs. Perhaps my favorite thing about it, however, is that these are always business... More

As a note to readers of this review my ratings were based primarily for lunchtime service especially when it comes to price. Also know that I have visited this restaurant for dinner service and have been equally satisfied except that the rating for value would be higher. Now for my review. We visited "The Capital Grille" for lunch this week.... More

I made reservations for my husband and I to celebrate our wedding anniversary while we were in Chicago in March. We arrived a little early for our reservation on a Friday evening and were quickly seated at a table that had been specially prepared for us. There was a card signed by the restaurant staff as well as rose petals... More

I visited The Capital Grill for lunch with my husband. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. They have a 3 choice lunch special for $16 that was quite reasonable for Chicago. Soup or salad, a small portion, main course and a side. exquisite wine selection!
