Let's start with the ambiance. Casually dramatic is the best way to describe the atmosphere. Low lights, dark walls, and old elegance. The waitstaff is dressed in classic white and black. Our waiter, Theo, was very knowledgeable about the entrees and drinks. He made some wonderful selections that had my tastebuds dancing. He was patient, thorough, attentive, and authentically invested in his patrons. Now, on to the food. I ordered the seared tenderloin and butter poached lobster with grilled asparagus. Tender is an understatement for the tenderloin The lobster was sweet and tender as well. The asparagus had just the right amount of bite. The cocktails were just right. Try the Stoli Doli. This place is worth the visit whether you are a native of Denver or visiting. read more

We wanted to celebrate a special occasion, and wanted to find a fine dining experience. I always check Yelp. I gave up on Colorado Springs. Cowboy Starr would have been the closest we could find, but the menu didn't appeal to everyone. The Capital Grill (TCG) won. After reading the reviews, pictures, menus, and TCG website I made reservations from the web. I knew they would accommodate everyone. We left an hour and a half to ensure we would arrive before our reservation. The reviews mentioned that being late could push out your seating as much as 45 minutes. With that in mind we decided to splurge on the valet parking. We arrived with only five minutes to spare. That's on a Saturday! They made everyone walking in feel welcome. Doors were opened for us, hosts greeted with smiles, and we were escorted to our table almost immediately. Some reviews mentioned that they believed the staff were racist. The staff were diverse. We cannot help the size, color, or gender we a born into. We are all beautiful, every one of us. The staff must have been carefully hired and trained to try any reasonable means to accommodate. One of us ended up ordering a grilled cheese sandwich, and said it was THE best! grilled cheese sandwich! Who knew! It came with crispy outside tender inside fries! We had the shrimp cocktail appetizer with large shrimp and tangy sauce. The beet salad was excellent and large portioned. The New York steak is large and thick. My filet minion was so tender I could cut it with my fork! The au gratin potatoes did not disappoint. Everything was amazing: the wine, drinks and dessert. It's pricey, but worth it! No pictures because we were so hungry, it looked so good, and we just dived in. read more

We made reservations here for my sister's birthday, we enjoyed the food and the friendly staff. As we walked in our table was ready, nice seating area intimate and clean. I thoroughly enjoyed the Sushi-Grade Sesame Seared Tuna, the Calamari and the Lobster Mac and Cheese. We had some drinks and it was really nice of the staff to bring a birthday treat with candles. Great evening, great food, great experience. read more

I a couple of weeks ago for the wagyu burger and it was delicious. Sadly my second experience wasn't as tasty. Although I love my steak, medium, rare, I like my burgers medium well. My first time my burger was cooked beautifully and was wonderfully juicy. On my second visit, however, my burger came out, medium rare. I took a couple of bites trying to muscle through the cook temp but I just couldn't do it, so I sent it back. I was surprised to see that they put that burger back on the grill to finish cooking. I didn't think you could take food that had been partially eaten and put it back on a cooktop or a grill, but I guess you can. This time, the burger was cooked well done and wasn't as juicy as the burger I had a couple of weeks ago. They did bring fresh fries with the burger so that was nice. I don't know who was in the kitchen, cooking burgers that day, but I noticed the table next to us sent both of their burgers back. I also noticed that they got new burgers refired for them, but I think they are regulars and I am not. Will I go back to CH? Of course I will, but probably not for a burger. read more

A couple of my gal pals and I were in Denver for the weekend and decided on this spot. The waiter first of all was so patient and knowledgeable. They provide white rolls with sesame seed and breakable crackers for the table. That bread was life. The passion fruit mojito was DELICIOUS. The 28 bucks meal was the best option as it came with entree and appetizer. For apps we all got calm chowder which was creamy and rich. My main entree was the salmon which came with cous cous, I thought the portion was too small but eating the bread, crackers and drinking, it was just the right amount. At this point we did not have dessert because we were stuffed. Although we were not dressed, as the restaurant is upscale dinning, we still felt welcomed. read more

The filet was absolutely disgusting. The manager was kind, but getting dinner here was a total disaster

My dining experience at The Capital Grille was outstanding. I ordered lobster bisque and house salad for my appetizer, my entrées were a porcini crusted ribeye (bone in) and sea bass, my side dish was lobster mac & cheese. The lobster bisque didn't have as much lobster flavor in the broth as I would've liked, but the chunks of lobster had amazing flavor. The house salad was very good and perfectly dressed. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and had a great flavor, so was the Seabass. The Seabass was very delicate and cooked to perfection. The star of the meal was the lobster mac & cheese, I ordered the lobster mac & cheese to compare the lobster mac & cheese at Ruth Chris (which is very good), this lobster mac & cheese in my opinion is even better. The service was outstanding, from the host team and my servers, also the manager showed amazing leadership. The manager was very attentive to me and my guest and ensured we had an amazing meal. This is a great place to eat for a special occasion or just a great steak dinner. read more

It's been a long time since our last meal at the Capital Grille. And now I remember why . . . So there's a serious question or two that has to be asked when you end up spending $450 for a dinner for 2. Seems like the first question is, "Are you out of your freaking mind?!?!" I guess the 2nd question is, "Was it worth it?" I don't have an opinion on the answer to the first question. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I'm not. But it seems to me it's a question worth asking whenever you go out and spend over $100 on a meal for 2. For us, we didn't plan on spending that much but when I looked at the wine list I saw a wine that I had previously had when my incredibly generous spouse took me out to a great birthday celebration dinner at a chi-chi Denver downtown restaurant. It was simply one of the best wines we'd ever had. (There's a pic of the bottle below, and if you can ever taste a wine from that winery, it will change your mind about many things, one of which is how much you might, under the right circumstances, be willing to spend on a bottle when you go out on a special occasion). Now me, I'm not a person who typically orders bottles of wine that run more than $50-$60 or so at a restaurant. Generally restaurants mark up their wine 2-3x what they pay. So why should you pay $60 to get a wine you could buy for $20? But in this case I know that the Capital Grill only marked the bottle up 50% from what the wine would have cost me to buy at one of the big box wine stores. So the price of the bottle while high (a bit over $150) was actually very "reasonably" priced. A good part of the price of our pleasure that night was enjoying an incredible wine with a wonderful wild mushroom crusted rib eye (and filet for my honey). I guess we could have saved $100 if I'd ordered a less expensive serviceable wine. But it seemed like a good idea at the time. With great service, spectacular wine, wonderful steaks, sides and dessert (their expresso chocolate flourless torte), we're at the bottom line question: Was it worth it? In this case since I bought the dinner as one of my honey's Christmas presents and to give thanks for all that she did over the busy holidays, the answer is "yes." It was indeed worth it. But it was worth it also because 6 months ago I had checked out what they call the Great Colorado Payback (https://colorado.findyourunclaimedproperty.com/) where you can learn if the state has any money that you are owed (and you don't know about). Turns out someone who owed my old business some money but who declared bankruptcy years ago ended up having an estate that paid some of the money that I'd forgotten about, but discovered on that website, and it was enough to pay for the dinner and more. I think for all the above reasons I should sign off on this review as, David "Better to be lucky than smart" M read more

A friend of ours from Costa Mesa Capital Grille recommended we visit this one in Denver if we had a chance. I am certainly very happy that we did. My wife and I met our niece and her new boyfriend. We have not seen her since leaving California. We had a good time catching up. Ariel was our waitress. She did a great job until she was no longer there and the bartender took over. We ordered around of adult beverages. Even though it was not on the menu, they made my favorite, a Double Oaked Manhattan. My wife ordered their blackberry sidecar, and there was wine for our niece and her boyfriend. We did not order any starters. I ordered my usual filet mignon with cream spinach. I thought I ordered pepper crusted, but it was very loud in there. My wife ordered thereNew York strip steak with wine sauce. Our niece, the Seabass and her boyfriend the sliced filet. As usual the food was absolutely delicious! We are very happy we visited this Capital Grille. We especially enjoyed the old school flare. It reminded us a lot of Costa Mesa Capital Grille. If we lived in the area, I'm sure we would visit regularly. You can't go wrong at The Capital Grille! read more

Ya know... the lunch options in Larimer Square were looking bleak and it was so damn hot outside. I saw The Capital Grille and, despite the unnecessary extra "e", gave it a quick look-see on Yelp. $$$$!!!! Why? Why go blow a lot of money for a quick lunch? Flash forward ten minutes and we are ordering a Cobb Salad, a chicken Caesar Salad and a slightly dirty martini from Jeff, the bartender... and it's clear that we made the right decision. But let's be clear... it was as much Jeff the Bartender as the food. Some guys have it and some guys don't. Actually, the kitchen got my order wrong. I'm guessing Jeff went back in there and stood there while they fixed it. He came back with it about two minutes later... everything perfect and all the customers in the bar very happy. And, truth be told, didn't break the bank... beautiful martini, added protein to two very nice salads... $70 before tip. read more

Shout out to the staff. We have been coming here for special occasions for the last 6 years. My mom's 90th birthday with the entire family private room the experience was incredible. We did her 91st just 4 of us again it was great. And have probably been there off and on another five times. Last night for mom's 93rd birthday. Everything was great except a little disappoint in our steaks. When asked by the manager how was everything we were apprehensive to say but were coaxed to tell how we felt. Staff great, sides great , sea bass great, Steaks were off in flavor. Their response was to over compensate us. Completely un expected we will be back. We would have come back even without the compensation. We appreciated being treated so well. Thank you from all us read more

This is the second time coming to this location. And once again for our anniversary. However, this time was extremely off putting. We were shoved into the furthest corner possible in the restaurant, and was forgotten about most of the evening. We were here for over two hours because the other people around us were being more catered to and the waitress would stop and talk with them and skip right over us even after weve gestured we needed something. The second thing that was rather annoying was the lobster. Talk about freezer burn, funny sour taste, and extremely over cooked and chewy. We were super happy the waitress was willing to take it off of our bill, because it was BADDDD. We came back here expecting the same intimate and friendly environment the restaurant showed us. It was a huge let down this year. read more

Nov 1st! 6:00pm reservation. We checked in 2 mins prior to our reservation time. The host that was working that night, was not so helpful nor friendly. Not to mention, if you aren't white. You will get seated last. Two men came in after us, around 6:05 or so to check in. They also had a reservation for 6pm. They got seated right away, one other white couple got seated after them. Now, we've been waiting for 18 mins now. Still nothing. We've been to the Las Vegas and California locations. Let me tell you, their service is top tier, the food is delicious. This is a high end steakhouse. I would expect top tier costumer service, which we did not get. We always spend $300 plus and leave a very nice tip. We decided to walk away, left a bad taste. We came for a weekend trip, everyone from our hotel to coffee employees and such have been wonderful. Very nice people, we had the pleasure of dealing with, until tonight. We ended up leaving and finding Panzano (Italian) it was delicious. read more

The breads were varied and served warm. The crab and lobster cake was the perfect appetizer. The clam chowder was very silky. The burrata and heirloom tomatoes were very fresh and crisp. The sliced filet was soft and tender and the mushrooms on the side were the best I've ever had. The salmon was soft and springy and the citrus sauce was refreshing. We ordered red wine. The kind manager presented us with dessert. The flourless espresso chocolate cake was amazing! It melts in my mouth and accompanied by rich coffee and chocolate aromas. The cheesecake was also delicious. The service was very attentive and I liked the enthusiasm of the staff and the pace of the food served. The decor is very elegant. Without a doubt, Capital Grill is my favorite steakhouse in Denver. My girlfriend and I had a great night. Thanks to all the staff, chef and manager. read more

My partner and I were celebrating a very special professional occasion for the both of us with my parents and decided to spend our evening at the capital grill. Our waiter, Eric, is hands down the best waiter I've ever had in my life. He made every effort to make our evening as special as it could possibly be. He brought us a special dessert, gave us the best recommendations for food, and was hilarious and warm the entire night through. The food was absolutely to die for. Steak was perfectly cooked, drinks were immaculate, sides were superb, and desert was divine. I couldn't recommend this restaurant in any stronger of terms if you have a special occasion to celebrate and be sure to ask for Eric when you go. Thank you Capital Grille! read more

Since the Larimer street is closed to the auto traffic, you have to park or valet further away. It is only a few more blocks to walk. The restaurant is super busy on Friday night so you will definitely need to make a reservation if you want to sit down at the restaurant side. I am sure the bar area during HH not needed to be. We sat nearby the bar but it was very loud so if you are looking for a quite place to dine, must need to sit far away as possible from the bar area. We got there on time, trying to check in but the couple front of us was having a hard time understating that there is a waiting if you have not reserved the table. Because of this, one of the hostess is tied up but there was also another hostess but due to lack of organization, she was just staring at the ceiling. We finally had to step pass the other annoyed couple to get our table. All went smooth without hiccups after the initial annoyance. Our water and bread was brought over very quickly and our waiter promptly took the drink order. Overall, our experience was positive and not hurried at all. If you need to make it speedier, I am sure they will accommodate your needs. Our steaks came out perfectly. It is on expensive side (upscale steakhouse) and they did deliver the value. Since Capital Grille and Eddie V's is owned by the same group, my next question is.. which one delivers better value? read more

This is a quintessential steakhouse, perfect for special occasions. Came here to celebrate a birthday and boy did it deliver an A+ experience.

Would love to eat this every day if possible. Nice strip steak cooked to our desired tastes. Tasty cream spinach. Delicious Malbec. Will be back soon! read more

This place, like its sisters in other cities was beautiful and the food was divine. However, there is a lot of construction happening on its street so it was difficult to get to which I know isn't their fault so give them a chance. I also was not impressed with their service. I realize they have a more lax atmosphere to allow people to enjoy their time dining. However, we had to flag down several servers to get the first order in, our second and then finally our check. We were not in any kind of hurry but it very much felt like we were being over looked. read more

Love The Capital Grille! Our server was an older woman and she was divine. She made great recommendations for my partner and I to share and it was great. She made sure we both had even amounts and they were very generous. The food was absolutely delicious, we ordered the fish and it was cooked beautifully. We sat on the patio on a warm evening and it was so comfortable and refreshing. Can't wait to come Back!! read more

You had one job. When you are one of the top steakhouse chains in the country, your steak should be unquestionably excellent. That is not the case at THIS location of The Capital Grille. Yesterday my wife and I decided to celebrate my birthday at the Denver location. First, I want to stress that the service was impeccable. Irene was outstanding. I was happy to leave her a good tip. The ambiance was very nice. I was relaxed and enjoying the conversation with my wife. I ordered the bone in NY Strip, Au Gratin potatoes, and the corn with bacon. For desert we had the cheesecake. I'll just get it out of the way that the potatoes, corn, and cheesecake were simply outstanding. The Au Gratin Potatoes were a standout. Absolutely delicious. But this is a top tier steakhouse. I expect top tier steak and frankly I could have done better with a Costco prime strip and my own grille. The steak was medium rare, as ordered, but it was a lifeless hunk of meat that didn't do any favors to my taste buds. It was a little dry and I don't think it was seasoned at all. I probably should have returned it but I was hungry and didn't want to wait for another steak. $187 + Tip isn't a trifling amount. There are many excellent steak options in Denver. Unfortunately The Capital Grille isn't one of them. Frankly, the Shanahans seems to cook a much better steak, and for less money. But damn, those potatoes were perfection. read more

So this Capital Grille is my home downtown Denver, Capital Grille and obviously it's gonna be outta control spectacular! Mark my waiter did a very fine job and introducing himself and bringing the drink menu on an IPad. Using the iPad gave me an idea what exactly the wine list, whiskey's and cocktails showed by pictures and descriptions. He started us off with a bottle of sparkling pink wine with flute glasses. It was a sweet wine so it was a perfect recommendation. We had ordered the Big Ribeye cooked at 130° medium rare with Au gratin and mashed potatoes with Lobster Mac n cheese on the side. Desserted it up with warm Chocolate lava cake with port wine cherries and crème brûlée berry cheesecake. So the cheesecake had the crunchy warm fired hard top on it like the crème brûlée Just Unbelievable! This dinner was a presentation of a lifetime. I'm so delighted the GM Mr. Bart had stopped to say hello and authentically make sure everything was 100 and thank us for coming in tonight. I hadn't been here in over 18 months because I was out working but I'm glad I decided to come back to my hometown favorite steakhouse. read more
