The Capital Grille is always a hit for me. One of my favorite times to visit is during The Wagyu and Wine Pairing. They offer Wagyu burgers paired with a glass of wine for $35. If you appreciate a great burger, and just happen to like wine.. you will be as happy as me. The event happens every April and November. Check it out. As usual, the customer service was always. The ambiance is nice and relaxed. read more

This has been our favorite restaurant to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and family visits. The service is always amazing, and this visit was no different. The food is another level of delicious too. That being said, the prices are high so I recommend looking at the menu and pricing so there are no surprises. Also, we went during lunch but you can still order from the dinner menu. read more

Visited for a birthday celebration and I must say, the service is amazing. Our server went above and beyond to make our celebration special. We tried the tomahawk which was extremely juicy and tender. The lobster Mac and Cheese was absolutely delicious and creamy. We also tried their truffle Parmesan fries which had a really nice crunch to them. The passionfruit mojito and Paloma were perfect. Everything was delicious and every single staff member made us feel welcomed. Definitely a nice place for a special celebration, will be going back! read more

The service is good and the location is nice. The food is overly salted for my taste. From the spinach, potatoes, filet mignon, dry aged NY strip,... it was all exceptionally salty even when I asked for low to no salt each time I've been there. (I prefer different flavors, various seasonings, herbs and sauces). The drinks are good, as well as the flourless chocolate espresso cake. read more

High end sit down restaurant at the South Coast Plaza. Lots of business and more formal meals here. Can here with hubby and baby on a weekend and it was busy, but not packed. The service is top notch: staff constantly checks in to make sure all is good, the lunch menu is simple but efficient: burgers, sandwiches, salads...etc. we order their mini sandwich and classic burger, but we're decent. Truffle fries are a must! Good place to enjoy some nice ambience and good service with classic food. read more

We came to The Capital Grille and it never disappoints. It's one of those classic spots you can always count on for a great experience. We ordered the 36oz bone-in ribeye and it was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and definitely the star of the table. We also tried the lobster mac and cheese. It was good, but personally I would probably skip it next time and try something different. The asparagus was amazing, simple but done right. We also ordered a couple of mocktails that were refreshing and well balanced, which we really enjoyed. Service was great. Derek H. took really good care of us, attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel seamless. We requested a booth and they were able to accommodate us, which made it even better. Overall, this place continues to deliver. Great food, great service, and a classic ambiance that always makes it a solid choice. read more

We were shopping in this mall, so we decided to stop by for dinner. The decor is dark and moody. It wasn't so busy, so we were seated right away. They brought out a variety of breads and crackers! We weren't too hungry, so we share the Parmesan truffle fries and a tomahawk. The steak was flavorful and fries were nicely seasoned. Service was attentive as well. read more

THE so called "Generous Pour" is now the NOT SO GENEROUS pour. Be forewarned if you have been previously enjoyed this wine promotion. It now amounts to an overly expensive limited wine tasting. In my opinion, definitely not worth the price. However, as usual, the food is of excellent quality and the service is very good, although the acoustics of the room can make conversation difficult due to the noise volume. It's expensive; be prepared to spend $600 or more for dinner for four people...But the food won't disappoint, the portions are substantial, and the restaurant itself is lovely. Just don't make the mistake of wasting money on the wine promotion. Were it not for that issue, it would be a 4.5. read more

My husband and I have been celebrating our anniversary at Capital Grille for 12 yrs and service and quality have been the same. The staff always makes the day so memorable for us. We've been to other locations but this location is our go to since we traditionally do a little shopping first and end it with dinner. Our goal is to visit as many locations as possible. Food is amazing always! I go in thinking I'll try something different but I always order the rib eye and either the creamed corn, spinach, or lobster Mac and cheese. Recently, they added a caviar with chips and it's delicious. Off menu, a must order is the lobster bisque. You really can't go wrong with anything you order. I love this place and it holds a lot of memories for us. This place was our first date, where he proposed and where we celebrate every year. read more

My family and I have always been big fans of this restaurant, but unfortunately the last couple of visits have been disappointing. I do want to start by saying that the service has consistently been great--our server today was friendly and attentive, and we really appreciate that. However, the quality of the food doesn't seem to be what it used to be. Today we ordered the 33 oz Wagyu Tomahawk for $185. The price itself isn't the issue, but the portion size definitely didn't seem to match what was advertised. We were told it would be more than enough for three people, but by the end each person only ended up with about two slices. The flavor was just okay, and after a similar experience during our last visit in January, we left feeling unsatisfied again. After spending around $500, we're honestly considering ordering DoorDash because we're still hungry. We used to really enjoy coming here, so it's disappointing to feel like things have gone downhill over the past couple of months. I hope the restaurant can address the portion and quality issues because we'd love to have the experience we used to enjoy. read more

My wife and I met friends for dinner on Friday. We made reservations 6 days before on OpenTable for a table for 4 in the lounge. When we arrived, I was surprised the larger lounge tables were seated and that we were presented a 2 top with 2 additional settings and chairs. That really wasn't going to work and said as much to the young lady who tried to sweat us there. She made a comment and I remarked that we could just go downstairs for dinner. A minute later, another young lady appeared and asked if we would like to be seated in the dinning room. Though we love the feeling of the lounge, we accepted her offer. Tommie was our waiter in the dinning room and did I a superb job taking care of us. We opened with cocktails and ordered starters of calamari and prosciutto wrapped mozzarella. The drinks and starters were absolutely delicious! We each ordered something different for the main course. Our friends went for the lobster tail special and Wagyu & Wine while my wife and I opted for the dinner filet, mine Oscar style. Each dish was delicious and very well presented. It seems that TCG has changed their version of Oscar style as our last couple visits it was served sans asparagus! I have always looked forward to that bit, not sure as why the change, to have the guest order a side of asparagus? When all said and done, we had a very enjoyable evening even though we missed our seating in the lounge. read more

The Capital Grille always has incredible service and goes above and beyond to make your celebratory moments in life feel extra special. We've been going for years and each visit feels like a great experience at a familiar friend's house (albeit a fancy friend haha). My repeat orders are: Blackberry Bourbon Sidecar - a very well balanced drink that's not too sweet and very easy to drink. Parmesan Truffle Fries: a must-order, although the recent addition of Duck Fat Fries definitely gives it a run for its money. Maine Lobster Salad: especially on warm days, this is such a refreshing and delicious option. Generous chunks of perfectly prepared lobster with avo, tomatoes, and arugula. Perfect! Lobster Mac N Cheese: although it's part of the dinner menu, I even order this when I'm there for lunch and The Capital Grille is kind enough to accommodate. A decadent and elevated version of Mac N Cheese and a must try if you love lobster. For entrees their steaks are always prepared accurately based on our requests and we love their high quality ingredients and attention to detail. Highly recommend visiting The Capital Grille the next time you want to celebrate or are just feeling like a special treat! read more

I've had the pleasure of dining here twice now and both times have been a phenomenal experience. The service here is top-notch. For dinner I came here with my husband to celebrate his birthday and we were served by Tiffany L. She made sure that we had an amazing experience from beginning to end. I hope she gets recognition for this! We started off with the caviar dip appetizer, which I think was fun to splurge on. I recommend trying the caviar alone to taste the caviar. Otherwise it does get lost in the dip. I ordered the scallop and lobster risotto as an entree whereas my husband ordered the seared tenderloin with lobster. We also ordered potatoes au gratin as a side. Everything was absolutely amazing. Cooked to perfection! We were so full. We did not have any room for dessert. however Tiffany did bring over a little birthday treat for my husband. I've had such a great time every time I come here. I look forward to many more! read more

Diane and I treated four family members and the significant others of two of our grandchildren to a Christmas celebration dinner here two days before Christmas, and it was quite a feast. My goal was to order a cross-section of appetizers and side dishes for the table, and let everyone select their own entree and soup or salad if they desired one or both types of starters. So we began with two orders of Shrimp Cocktail, one order of Fried Calamari, four Cups of French Onion Soup, one Spinach Pear Salad and one Wedge Salad. The shrimp in the Shrimp Cocktail were large and meaty; the Calamari golden and a little greasy; the onions in the French Onion Soup well caramelized and the broth covered by well-melted cheese. The two salads were large and featured fresh greens. Mains ranged from my order of medium-rare Seared Tenderloin with Butter Poached Lobster Tails to Honey Coated Double Cut Mint & Honey Lamb, with Bone In Kona Beef, Miso Butter Seabass, Sliced Filet, 10 oz. Filet Mignon, and Scallop and Lobster Risotto in between. My son raved about his lamb, and no one complained about their chosen entree, so I assumed that they each liked what they received. Choosing sides for the table, I ordered Grilled Asparagus, Lobster Mac 'N' Cheese, Truffle Fries, Roasted Mushrooms, and Potatoes Au Gratin. One might think that with two potato dishes already and one pasta side that sufficient starches had been ordered. But when I asked Diane if she wanted anything else, she asked for Sam's Mashed Potatoes as well. So that, too, was ordered, and there was precious little room left for bread and butter plates on our large circular table. I have long been a fan of The Capital Grille's Potatoes Au Gratin and Truffle Fries, and everything else I sampled was also well cooked and excellent in taste. Except for a complimentary dessert plate bestowed on one diner who was celebrating a December birthday, as full as we were everyone else passed on dessert. Service, too, by our principal server Michelle M. was smooth, quick, errorless, and very responsive. Understandably, this close to the winter holidays the capacious dining rooms were all packed with well-dressed diners, but the restaurant did not seem overcrowded, and its white linen tableclothed ambiance was upscale and classy. I will surely return, but next time with fewer people in my party. read more

Since this is a high class establishment with a suggested dress code, I definitely walked in with some pretty high expectations. My husband and I decided to go for a last minute date night this past Friday, and luckily we were able to snag a spot through Yelp Reservations. Even though it's right next to the mall, once you step inside you forget you're looking out at a parking lot. The vibe inside is very dark and moody. It is all ambient lighting and elegant decor with these framed pictures everywhere, so it feels very intimate and upscale. It's the kind of place where you want to dress up a bit and grab a martini. Our server was great too, really attentive and kept our glasses full while checking in on us at all the right times. Food wise, we started with the French onion soup and truffle fries. The soup came out piping hot with a thick layer of melted, bubbly cheese on top, which was the highlight for me. The truffle fries were also solid, they were super crispy and had a good scent of truffle without being overwhelming. For the main event, we shared the 24oz bone in porterhouse. I asked for medium rare and they nailed the cook on it perfectly. It was a massive, juicy piece of meat. However, I have to be honest, even though everything was cooked correctly, nothing about the meal really wowed me. For a high class establishment at this price point, I was expecting a flavor profile that I could not just get anywhere else, but it felt a little standard. It is a beautiful spot for the atmosphere and the service is top notch, but the food did not quite have that extra spark to make me crave a second visit. I am giving it a 3/5 because the food just did not blow me away like I hoped it would for a restaurant at this price point. read more

Fabulous girls' night out. We wanted to experience the Wagyu and Wine pairing the restaurant was featuring. We sat in the bar for a more lively crowd. Our waiter was slow to warm up, but once we ordered a bottle, he perked up. He became friendlier as the evening progressed. I ordered the Wagyu Blue Cheese and Black Truffle Burger with cabernet-braised red onions and blue cheese. It was paired with a glass of Palermo, Cabernet. The wagyu burger and wine were perfect, and we both agreed we want to do this again. We added truffle fries. Delicious, too. I wouldn't upgrade to the caviar experience - not worth the add on. But definitely go to experience the pairing. You won't be disappointed. read more

The service and food at Capital Grill are always outstanding. The crowd who dines here tends to be on the older side, most likely due to the price point of the menu.

Having a wonderful mother's Day dinner with my family at a delicious steak house. One of the best in orange county. The calm chowder, tuna tartar and my favorite rib eye steak were extremely satisfying. The rib eye was tender and tasty! Our cheesecake desert was also yummy! The only problem was we couldn't finish all of our food but we will just eat it tomorrow night at home. Nothing wrong with have great meals two nights in a roll. Our waiter Chad was really helpful, friendly and informative. Everyone around us was well dressed it made the dinner extremely special and memorable. We will definitely return for more special events! read more

Just want to start out by saying our most recent server Sylvia (hope I didn't butcher that) was super lovely and made us feel very welcomed. Spectacular level of attention and detail. That being said, I've always really enjoyed capital grille whether it's for lunch or dinner. Whether it's a sandwich, salad, appetizer, oysters, or obviously one of their very decent cuts. You can't really complain, it's solid. It isn't like a Michelin star level outlier or something life changing but I can see why people love it and gravitate towards it. read more

First of all this dining experience was very nice. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful and the service was top notch. I usually will try a signature drink at different places but today I just had some sparkling water. For a business lunch today it was the perfect place to go. I had the lobster bisque which was a special today. It was absolutely delicious. Very creamy and pleasing to the palate and please get a little bit of sherry added you won't regret it!! Then I also had the Chilean Sea Bass with asparagus and shiitake mushrooms. The sea bass was cooked to perfection! A medium sear to the top where it was crispy but the inside was flaky, flavorful and delicious. The chef definitely knew what they were doing with this plate. The asparagus was cooked perfectly with shiitake mushrooms in in a delicious delicate sauce. The table shared an order of fried calamari which was also very good. Needed a little salt but they again were not overcooked and was very tender. Definitely would like to try this place again when I'm in town on business. Well done The Capital Grille!! read more

Shopping at the South Coast Plaza we decided to just eat at the mall and The Capital Grille was conveniently located at one of the wings! Just put ourselves on the waitlist and only waited about 5 mins. Was seated at the end near private rooms so it was quiet and felt more personal! Ordered quite a bit as usual, including the crab legs - perfect addition! The server also knew exactly how we wanted our orders served..gave the scallops in two plates, steak already cut, and everything arrived at the same time which I actually prefer over getting them over time! Everything was delicious, and the server really made it even more awesome. Automatically got added to the club, so I'll be sure to come back again. Highly recommend!! If you're at this mall anyway, you might as well treat yourself to a nice dinner too. read more

Last weekend of Wagu & Wine 2025. Pair a Wagu burger and glass of wine for $35. Restaurant was crowded for a Friday afternoon. Hostesses and waitress were welcoming and friendly. Burger was one of the best I've ever had. Flavorful, cooked perfectly and so much I could not finish it! The duck fat friend were also delicious. Both paired well with Pinot noir. I'll return the next time they promote this special. Restaurant was decorated nicely for the holiday. read more

I came here for a work meeting a few months ago, and the restaurant really impressed me. It's elegant, stylish, and has that "special occasion" vibe. I ordered the steak, and it was incredibly tender and juicy--honestly one of the highlights of the night. The service was phenomenal. Our group had a private room with dedicated waiters, and they were on top of everything--attentive, quick, and super professional. We also walked around a bit after eating, and the space is gorgeous. They have a full bar where you can sit and enjoy a meal, or you can dine in the main area if you prefer something more intimate. It's a great spot for a romantic date night, an anniversary dinner, or a birthday celebration. It is on the pricier side, but it really depends on what you order and what your budget looks like. The drinks were just okay, but the food made up for it. Definitely a place I'd return to whenever I'm in the area. read more

Restaurant is in the South Coast Plaza Mall, high end, formal setting but there is also a bar area which can be a bit less formal. Amazing service from our server Tiffany is the highlight of the great evening we had here. Always returned to our table with a big smile just to make sure we had everything we needed. We had been here before for their Wagyu Burger and wine Special which my husband loves. So we came back when we found out they had it again for a certain amount of time only. But this time I must say our server Tiffany made it extra special. Just the way she smiled and talked to us just made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. I ordered the roasted beet salad and each of us ordered the Wagyu Burger. She made sure she understood how we liked the meat cooked, with her follow up questions and when it came, stopped to make sure it was what we liked. Just her interaction with us was very pleasant, nice and wonderful! Her service uplifted the whole experience! Love, love, love her! We plan to be back to try out other items in the menu! I hope we get her again the next time we come! read more

I came here for lunch and had excellent service. I thought all the wait staff were wonderful and attentive. It's a little old school vibe wise but I kind of love that and miss it from the usual restaurants we typically go to--I guess you can say it's very steakhouse vibes. lol! The food was also good! We had the calamari, which was a good portion size. The clam chowder and French onion soup came in small cups/bowls but they were also tasty. I got the porterhouse steak and thought it was well cooked (rare plus!) and enjoyed the meal. My favorite was surprisingly the sautéed spinach. Mashed potatoes and mushrooms were other great sides, but the spinach was somehow my fave. lol!! Anyways, lovely service. Good cocktail and wine selection. read more

Here for a weekend girls trip with my friend & I. Here's the rundown: Ambiance - very upscale, classy, old school steakhouse vibe. Had a reservation at 8pm & got seated fairly quickly. Service - upon getting seated, I swear nobody paid attention/served water/ greeted us for almost 15min. I understand it's a Friday night, but for a classy restaurant, you expect high quality service too! The server was very nice, but nothing from the service overall was extraordinary. Food - the restaurant offers fresh bread that was probably the best tasting thing on the menu.... We ordered a bone in ribeye, lobster Mac, mashed potatos, & brussel sprouts. The steak was chewy (we ordered a medium). The mashed potatoes literally tasted like nothing. Texture wasn't creamy, more watery. Brussel sprouts were the BIGGEST disappointment. Soggy, burnt bacon & TOO SWEET. Lobster Mac was literally Mac with 1 sliver of meat :(. For $200 you can go to elsewhere and probably have more fun! I do not recommend at all. read more

This review is waaaaay overdue. The Capital Grille is our go-to. We love eating here. We've dined here at least 20 times. We've done lunch, dinner, special holiday brunches and meals.

We were really sad and disappointed by how their quality and service has diminished. We hadn't been back in a couple years. We sat at the bar to get some drinks and some food. The staff were so rude bantering among themselves loudly. They were running the dishwasher while guests were sitting at the bar and we could smell nothing but Cleaner soap and hot steam, and the machine was insanely loud too. There were four or five of them behind the bar and not one of them was engaging with the guests. There were loud bangs and clicking and clack and this was 2 1/2 hours before they close so I wasn't like they were getting ready to close or anything. It was just really really unprofessional and rude and you wouldn't expect this kind of behavior at the capital Grill. I can't remember what day we were out. I only remember one of the females behind the bar. Her name was Ana. read more

I went here for happy hour and it was amazing! They start you off with a bread basket with a variety of bread and delicious butter. I ordered the garlic shrimp. This dish has huge shrimp, whole pieces of garlic and bread that soaks up all the butter sauce. This is a must order! I also ordered the filet mignon sliders and the flavor was pretty good, but I asked for some herb aioli on the side and that made it better. My steak was a little too charred on the outside and a little more cooked on the inside than medium, but it was tasty. read more

I was looking for a steakhouse happy hour for my birthday, and The Capital Grille came through as always. This was my first time frequenting this location, and honestly it delivered in every facet. The happy hour was an excellent value including numerous $12 cocktails and an exceptionally priced Dry Aged, Kona-crusted New York Strip. For $18 you got a very generous portion of an excellent cut of steak. The filet mignon we ordered off the main menu was perfectly medium rare (not a given at other steakhouses in the area), and the au gratin potatoes were super creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor without being overly heavy. We ended the meal with a delicious creme brûlée, and left feeling happy and full. Beyond the food and drinks, I have to also call out the exceptional service we received from Eric. He truly took care of us from the moment we sat down and made my birthday feel really special. He was attentive, enthusiastic, and friendly throughout. Thanks again to The Capital Grille for making my birthday a great one! read more

The food here is always on point. I come here pretty frequently. I used to go to the Capital Grille in LA but they shut it down so this is the new spot. Their bone in ribeye is so yummy! I also tried the porcini ribeye which I didn't quite like it has some sort of mushroom rub with balsamic vinegar. It just had a weird taste to me. I realized that I'm better off ordering what I'm used to. Service here is always great and the staff here is super helpful. The manager came by and told me he was going to remake my ribeye although I told the server it was okay when she asked me how I like it. And I told her I would take it home to doctor it. I had it boxed up and ready to take home and she evidently spoke to the manager. Really nice! My favorite here is the lobster bisque, crab cakes, and their ribeye. I've had almost everything from the New York steak to bone in filet and filet mignon to the sea bass. My go to is still the bone in rib eye. Oh and their cracker bread with that crack butter! Yum! And when you're here you have to have the doli. I love that it's tasty and has 170 calories. I love that this place has calories listed for each menu item. Love it! The restaurant is casual but classy. It can get loud here but we've asked for the corner table before so we can get some work done and have been able to take calls with no problems. read more

This is a slightly-hidden gem of a place in South Coast Plaza. The moment you step in you know you are in for a great experience both in service and excellent food and you're not disappointed. The atmosphere in this restaurant is of elegance; their waitstaff is trained to exude the same energy. Every want and need is quickly addressed and everyone is helpful and professional. Food is excellent, well prepared and served. So many restaurants today just skip the elegant service and atmosphere that it's nice to come to an establishment like this one and made to feel like you're their most important customer. Go ahead and have that trendy meal but when you're ready to have a serious elegant and well-prepared dinner you should really come here. Oh and did I mention that the restaurant is full of great portraits of local notable figures like Walt Disney? Not to be missed. read more
