Then we ordered the dog with candles for a celebrant's birthday party and paid in cash but they never brought it out. We asked for it 2 additionally time just for them to let us know someone else at our party had requested the same set of shots at midnight. They also were slow to bring out even our simple orders of margaritas and our tacos. After trying to order two shimp and asada tacos earlier in the night and then following up twice, they came back to tell us they didn't have any more of the meat for the second type of tacos. They only had enough for another person in our party. That would've been ok if they communicated that and allowed us to order another set of tacos, especially after the waiter pressed us to order more expensive foods and drinks when we clearly didn't want to. Also they bullied us into giving us more of the tip we already provided after terrible service, claiming it was due to someone else helping him. There was a lack of communication on their part and instead of trying to make it right, they made it seem like we were all at fault and tried charging us more for them trying to fix this mistake. My friends and I are not cheap but we were just so upset and surprised by the lack of customer service there was from the very start.

So sadly I was expecting more from this place but I didn't like it . I'll come back and check again . Tho . Buen ambiente relajante, frente a la ventana . Ordenamos algunos cócteles campechanas. La salsa o jugo estaba un poco espeso para mi gusto , para beber ordenamos unos Cantaritos según la recomendación del mesero eran buenos . Para mi sorpresa no venían en Cantaritos si no en un vaso común y cualquiera que halla tomado Cantaritos save que el barro es lo que le da un buen sabor y pues se llama cantarito pues por que viene en un cántaro Tristemente esperaba más de este lugar aún así volveré y pediré algo diferente para ver si es igual la experiencia o diferente .

I had the cauliflower roast which way I must say was delicious. The complementary bean dip with the chips was a nice touch and very good Service was good but they had hardly anything in English. we don't speak Spanish. They brought us an I pad with English, but it kept going out and they were just running around. So we had to keep calling them back for them to turn it back on.

It's like they try to create a sophisticated ambiance but come across as tacky and ostentatious. Food was not bad, but nothing special. People were nice, but people are nice in general in Mexico City. Lastly, when they ask how much tip you want to add, MAKE SURE YOU CONFIRM THE FINAL AMOUNT.

Overall great service, good food. Their specialty is steaks and they don't disappoint. I didn't go with a steak this time, I am glad I decided to have the lengua.

LOVELY PLACE, BUT WATCH OUT FOR THE UPSELL - Right on Paseo de la Reforma, on the second floor,…read moreyou'll find The Capital Grille, the same upscale chain you'll see in many major cities. They pride themselves on an elegant atmosphere, polished service, and fine dining, and to be fair, they deliver on the vibe. You feel like a bigshot the moment you walk in. The servers are friendly and professional, and the menu, while notably expensive overall, focuses heavily on high-end steaks and classic sides. We didn't order steak, as the prices were well beyond what we wanted to spend, so we opted for the dry-aged burger at around $24 USD. We also ordered grilled asparagus, and the burger came with truffle fries. The asparagus was quite good. The fries were decent. The burger, however, was dry, bland, and a bit tough, and it arrived overcooked despite ordering it medium. There was also an issue with the wine menu. When presented with options, the more economical bottles (still $60 usd) we asked about never seemed to be available, while plenty of alternatives at roughly double the price were readily available. That was odd notably because the menu was electronic... Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. It's a lovely place, and it's perfectly suited for a drink and maybe an appetizer if you're looking for atmosphere. Just be prepared to pay for the experience itself. If you are, you'll probably have a good time. If not, you may leave feeling a bit soured. Happy eating from John Seeto!

We capped our trip to this fair country with a visit to (of course) Capital Grille. You know with…read morethe extra "e" in Grill you're not in Providence RI (yes founded 1990 if you can believe it). But the service and ambiance had all the hallmarks of top-of-brand. Firstly, don't expect to escape this establishment without a much lighter wallet, so cash in some of those stocks around the roundabout at the Mexican Stock Exchange and go for food-broke! Our waiter was a master at several things: among them the upsell. I nearly skipped the appetizer until he informed of the "half cup" of soup. A finished creamy clam chowder later, I was admiring my choice and his skilled power of suggestion. Wait! Is that truffle I see multiple times on the menu? One day I'll order 100% truffle items, but I was with a business group, so I'd better act all businessy. "Hey any of you up for 100% truffle?" (I said in my head). If only! Maybe I'll find another business group to hang with. I hear Truffle Co is hiring (I wouldn't last a week). Back to the main event. I of course got the truffle mushroom risotto, and here comes Mr Upsell back for the win: "you would certainly like prawns with that." But of course. I know I should have gotten steak, but I was finishing a long week of meat-indulging, so I needed a reprieve. I was so healthy with seared spinach instead of creamed. But as usual the sides are enormous, so soon I was passing that and receiving Mac-n-cheese and truffle fries. This meal is turning out to be healthy! Everybody's steak looked fabulous, as did the fish, and whatever else anybody got, etc. My "dessert splitting" compadre didn't disappoint, and we got the crème brûlée, which was as it should be (and big enough for three). That and a cappuccino put me into the happiness zone. Perhaps I'll return soon, not that I wouldn't go back tomorrow, it's just I probably need to wait for my stocks to come back up a little before the next visit.
