The Capital Grille - Steakhouses Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

When in Jacksonville for a work trip, my coworker and I decided to check out this location. We have a Capital Grill location in the Phoenix, Arizona area that has been on my radar to try but hadn't yet. My coworker remarked several times about how great this chain is and we decided to check it out. Our waiter was Alex, and he was absolutely exceptional! I appreciated all his recommendations and conversation throughout our dinner. We dined in the bar area, which was still very beautiful though a little noisier than what I'd imagine the dining room would be like. Though since near the bar, my dirty vodka martinis were very quick to make it to our table. As for food, the lobster bisque was full of lobster and very rich. Quite honestly, probably the best I've ever had. For my entree, I had the Gorgonzola-Crusted Dry Aged Bone-In NY Strip with Cabernet Reduction, and it was delightful. Absolutely stunning! Paired beautifully with the roasted mushrooms that we got a side to share for the table. To end on a sweet note, we had the crème brûlée and cheesecake. Both were decadent and delicious. A truly remarkable meal, and now I have to plan a date night with my boyfriend to a location in Arizona. Well done Alex and The Capital Grille! read more

I've been on a bit of a Capital Grille kick the past few months, so while in the area, I thought it would be fun to check out the Jacksonville location for the first time. The overall experience wasn't quite on the same level as my recent visits to Palm Beach and Boca, it was still a very solid meal. The Bone-in Ribeye was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time... perfectly cooked with incredible flavor. Of course, Sam's Mashed is always a must, so good. Started with a Shrimp Cocktail... love the spicy cocktail sauce, and requested the mustard sauce they serve with the crab cocktail. Still, the Lump Crabmeat Cocktail remains my favorite appetizer on the menu. Cocktails and wine by the glass rounded out a very enjoyable evening. Byron C. provided excellent service and did a great job staying on top of things, especially when the kitchen lagged behind at times. read more

The service here is top notch and like no other. It's truly an experience. The food also hits a high bar each time and is pretty consistent. However, the ahi tuna was a bit too salty but they quickly remedied the situation and brought out a new dish and it was impeccable and very quick. The steak, seafood, chicken, and everything is so good here. My absolute favorite is honestly their French onion soup. I could come here just for that and a nice Cabernet because it's massive! I have lots of leftovers. You need a reservation for dinner, and not sure about lunch. read more

This was the perfect kick off to my birthday celebrations!!!! My bestie brought me for my birthday & it was happy hour, which was literally the best deal HH I've probably ever been to!!! I started with the Greyhound martini which was perfect with the hand squeezes grapefruit juice. She got a dirty martini and was very pleased. We split the following small plates: petit filet mini burgers, arancini, truffle fries, and garlic shrimp. WOWWW. Every single thing was fantastic but my favorites were the arancini and the shrimp. Absolute fantastic flavors and equally fantastic price points for such a luxurious restaurant. They gifted me a beautiful birthday platter with a chocolate mousse and a crème brulee cheesecake. Absolutely loved both!!! Our service was incredible, Amanda was proactive and very efficient. Can't wait to come back!! Thank you Capital Grille for kicking off my birthday in the best fashion possible!!! read more

Service was top notch. The ambiance would be nice if it wasn't super dark. I needed to use my flashlight for the menu dark. We'd been to the location in DC, and the decor was the same, but it wasn't so dark. The food was just pretty average whereas in DC it was superb. read more

The Capital Grille delivers exactly what you expect from an upscale steakhouse quality, and excellent service. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels refined. The lighting, decor, and overall ambiance make it a great spot for celebrations or business dinners. Service aside, the food is definitely the star. The steaks are expertly cooked and well-seasoned, prompting one member of my party to declare it the best he's ever eaten. The sides were great especially the lobster mac and cheese and which was rich, flavorful, and big enough to share. The scallops were perfection. Service is top tier. Staff members are attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and make sure you're taken care of without hovering. Little touches like table-side explanations or checking in at the right moments make the experience feel special and classy. Whether you're celebrating something big or just treating yourself, The Capital Grille is one of Jacksonville's most reliable spots for a high-end dining experience. I always leave satisfied and looking forward to my next visit. The Capital Grille isn't cheap, but the quality absolutely justifies the price in this case. read more

Steaks are delicious, atmosphere is lovely, service excellent, but $90.00 for a filet? Are you kidding me? That's a little bit much! read more

The service was absolutely impeccable and the food was out of this world. We were seated towards the back and it was splendid. The lighting throughout the restaurant made the environment enchanting.

We came for my mom's birthday and while it was expensive as you'd expect, it was a very enjoyable meal and worth the cost. We made reservations online and mentioned it was our mom's birthday. They decorated the table and also provided complementary champagne and dessert. The service was very friendly without being too hovering. The food itself was also enjoyable, you can't go wrong with the complementary bread basket featuring a variety of breads. We tried the caviar onion dip with chips just to try a little caviar since we had never tried it before. The onion dip itself was tasty and there wasn't much caviar and we couldn't really taste it, so we can now saw we've had caviar. Mission accomplished but this isn't a must try unless you're curious about caviar and like us want to scratch trying it off your list. I had the dry aged Kona crusted bone in NY Strip and it was perfectly cooked between medium and medium-well and had a unique crust with a subtle coffee flavor that I've never seen elsewhere. The sides are family style for the table and the roasted mushrooms and mashed potatoes were tasty and enough for 5 people but you might want to get two orders for a larger party. Their drinks are also worth a try, the in fashion is their version of a old fashioned and goes well with a steak. This place is pricey so it's not for an everyday meal but this place is definitely worth it for a special occasion. read more

Firstly, the food and service at capital grill is top notch. We are frequent visitors and the quality of the total experience justifies the price point of the restaurant. I always get a steak there and they're always tender, delicious and perfectly cooked. The staff, from the hostess to the servers are friendly and professional. Bartenders are attentive and make creative and delicious cocktails. You really can't go wrong here. However, if there was one nagging issue with management of the bar. On this visit, there was a minor sitting in the corner of the bar. Now it was Thanksgiving Day, and I believe the minor's mother was working the bar. Not a great way to spend Thanksgiving, so I'm ok with that. What I wasn't ok with was the minor taking up two chairs my placing their phone and jacket in the adjacent chair while my party stood at the bar. We would have stayed longer (more drinks $$$) but it was ridiculous that paying customers had to stand while the bartender turned a blind eye to the seating situation. Again, great overall experience, but for this level of dining establishment, this was not good for business. read more

Absolutely delicious dinner with large group 10 people I went here for a work dinner and I must say everything we had was amazing. Service was phenomenal and our waiter was fast and effective. All his recommendations were very tasty such as the cocktail shrimp and etc. We also had lobster bisque soup with a bit of sherry which was divine. A glass of red wine pairing for our steak dinner along with all different types of sides like mash potatoes and macaroni and cheese. It was a great dinner overall and a wonderful experience! read more

I was not expecting to love eating dinner here as much as I did. Server was amazing, we were sitting in a little alcove so it was quiet and somewhat cozy.

The Capital Grille is a great option for a nice lunch and likely dinner. While waiting on my car to be serviced, I took an Uber to Capital Grille and had a very nice experience. I opted to sit at the bar and had the most phenomenal server, Kandi! Kandi went above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied. Drinks: I was unsure of what to order, so Kandi crafted a blueberry and raspberry martini of sorts. It was delicious. Later, my dessert was accompanied by champagne which was also good. Food: for starters, I had a simple Caesar salad. Nothing special, just what you'd expect. As an entree I opted for the steak frites but without frites-- I was undecided between the au gratin potatoes and creamed spinach, so Kandi gave me both! They were both decent, but not better than their competitor, Ruth's Chris. When asked about my temperature preference for the steak, I said medium. When it arrived, it was not the desired temperature but I wasn't going to complain. However, Kandi informed the kitchen staff that it was not the proper temperature and let me take the "wrong" steak home for later. I couldn't complain about that! As if her generosity couldn't get any better, Kandi brought out a complimentary dessert tray. My favorite was the cheesecake, I'd highly recommend it. Next time I'm in Jacksonville to get my car serviced, I will come back. The service and hospitality were great and it's an added bonus that it's in the Town Center, so I'm able to shop/walk off the meal. read more

Listen...when I tell you that the Capital Grille owes me nothing, I mean it! The luncheon was a work one, but regardless, our hosts were great, engaging, personable, professional and polite. The room was dressed well and the temperature was not even a thought. We began with hors d'oeuvres: antipasto tray of fruits, cheeses and cuts of meat, slices of pan seared tuna with a sesame seed crust atop a cucumber slice dressed with watercress and Arancini (fried risotto balls) drizzled with balsamic dressing. It was so delicious. Next, we had appetizers served to each table, family style, of prosciutto wrapped mozzarella, peppers and balsamic and fried calamari and octopus and peppers. I've had fried calamari before and was not a fan. BUT the Capital Grille has made me come around! Crispy, not chewy nor greasy, with the peppers gave it a wonderful balance of seasoning, depth of flavor and spice! The salad options were great and I chose the field greens with vegetables and a Parmesan vinaigrette. Not overpowering nor underwhelming. I was so pleased. The salad was accompanied by a variety of rolls and pita wedges. The entree options were steak, fish or chicken breast with sides of grilled asparagus and creamy mashed potatoes. That may sound "regular", believe me, it wasn't (menu will be posted). I had the pan seared sea-bass atop asparagus cuts, shiitake mushrooms in a miso butter! THAT miso butter was amazing! The piece was tender, crispy skin and glistening on the inside. Every bite was a symphonic delight in my mouth. The cut asparagus in my dish was tender and enjoyable with every bite. The whole spears were tasty, yet, soft and overcooked. The mashed potatoes were seasoned, creamy and rustic with the skin of new red potatoes. Sincerest compliments to the chef. Then there was the dessert...last but certainly not least! There was a flight for every urge anyone could have! Crème brûlée with mixed berries, flourless chocolate cake slice and a toasted coconut and caramel tart with a beautiful tulle. While I'm not a big fan of chocolate, I did have a taste of the other two. Delectable. Not too sweet. Excellent balance of sweet and acidity with the tart and the berries were a great addition for the crème brûlée. A masterful work of the culinary arts. This is definitely high on the list for special occasions. There's outdoor dining, as well. read more

Very poor service. Rushed the whole time by the server. We were asked if we wanted appetizers almost immediately after we sat down before looking at the menu or being told about specials.  Got a salad. No ground pepper offered. Dinner comes while I'm still eating salad. No option to keep entree under the heater. And dessert comes out while I was still finishing my main meal!  Coke didn't get refilled - it just sat there. Also, I got a very upset stomach immediately after eating my main course. Perhaps the server was just having an off night, but it was just poor timing, and I have much higher expectations when I dine at an establishment like the Capital Grille. read more

Went here on a Wednesday around 5pm. Lucky to get bar seats! Yet no happy hour prices. Service was outstanding- friendly and just the right mix of casual and attentive. It was a warm day but I guess they were worried it would get hot. The AC was really cranking! My husband had to go to the car and get jackets! Hubster got the ahi, seared lightly. It was very flavorful with a crunchy sesame seed coating and cooked a perfect rare. There were some delicious citrus sauces and ginger rice. He ordered the full order of spinach on the side. I did not know that half orders of the sides are available. The spinach was bright green and studded with garlic. This had a squeeze of lemon as well . I got the crab cocktail since I had my jacket by now. It was served with a horseradish sauce, not cocktail, tasty! Then I got the French Onion soup. There was a smaller version of this available too, also not on the menu. I was happy with the crock It was salty but not overmuch, I could not identify the bread under the cheese but it was still very good, For drinks he got vodka and soda and I had the KJ Syrah Shiraz. read more

I always have a great experience at The Capital Grille! The bartenders are excellent and really know how to make strong, well-balanced drinks. The food is always great, which is something I really appreciate. I ordered the half portion sizes for the Truffle fries and asparagus and requested to have my porcini dry aged ribeye cut in the back--everything came out perfectly. What I love most is the consistency, paired with the warm ambience and dim lighting that make it such a comfortable dining experience. The valet service is also a nice touch, available all day for just $10. Overall, a solid spot for both food and atmosphere! My entire meal was about $115 read more

You can never go wrong with Capital Grille. We've been going here for years and it's always our go-to for a great streak and an amazing dining experience. I'm a rare steak kind of girl and got pregnant in the beginning of year, so with steak out of the picture for quite some time, it was only fitting that I would pick this as our first date night spot once the babies were born. Our server Mitoki was phenomenal (as usual) and the rest of the meal followed suit. I like what I like, so I'm not one to experiment around the menu, so I ordered all of the usual suspects. - bone in ribeye - lobster Mac and cheese - creamed spinach - truffle fries - old fashioned - espresso martini - crème brûlée Everything was a 10/10 and I couldn't recommend it more! read more

We made a reservation for one of the bar tables that is a bit more social and not so uptight. Both the service and food was spot on. Our server John was very knowledgeable and offer suggestions, but was not too pushy. We started with the Prosciutto Wrapped Cheese that was just straight up awesome. And we got the Sliced Filet Migon with Carmelized Onions and Porcinu Mushrooms which was perfectly cooked. As was the Sea Bass with Miso Butter, so flakey and tender. It was an amazing dining experience for our Anniversary. read more

We had visitors from out of state at work on Monday. Afterwards we headed out to The Capital Grille. It was Monday and not busy but there was a mixup because our reservation was for 5 and only 4 of us arrived so the waitress never came back to the table to take our order. I ordered the filet medium rare with a side of asparagus al dente. The filet was rubbed in salt, way too much salt. The asparagus was the same, covered in salt. I used my knife to scrape the meat in an effort to remove the salt. Once I was into the center the salt was not so noticeable. I also used A1 sauce and that covered the extra salty taste. Mind you, this is a $60 steak, at that price I have no mercy for the restaurant, no matter what day of the week or the hour. Another issue was the waitress kept walking away and didn't check back with us for long periods of time. At one point she actually said she was outside the restaurant walking around ‍. The only thing that was perfect was the neat shot of bourbon . The bill was picked up by our out of state visitor. Our bill was over $500. I wouldn't have tipped the waitress more than $5. I rate the service a 2 out of 5. There should not have been so much salt on my food; I have high BP so I was concerned about so much sodium in a late meal. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures. The visitor had the Bass and she loved it. The other 2 had steaks and mashed potatoes. No complaints that I recall except that the potatoes were not as good as their last visit. If I ate here again, I would be very specific about the salt and the service. Sometimes when you are out with a work group you just want to enjoy your time together. read more

Disappointing restaurant. Food was bland, atmosphere was very casual (shorts, backward baseball hats, and flip flops). We could have tolerated the courses (lobster bisque (two small pieces of torn clawmeat), but the shrimp cocktails was served without forks, the Oscar prepared filet has no flavor and the Oscar crab preparation neglected to season, so it was like eating nothing. My son's steak was prepared poorly and although it was replaced and two managers came out, it was the only time the place seemed to care. Although my son made reservations over 2 weeks ago, they seated us in the middle of the large restaurant with screaming babies and it was NOT a great experience! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! My husband and son spent over $400 for my birthday and we would have had a better time dressing up and going to Longhorn! read more

Great value for lunch if you are looking for fine dining, superb service and great food. I picked the lunch pairing for $28 where you pick an appetizer (soup or salad) and an entree (salmon, burger or steak tenderloin with frites). I had the salmon which was done medium and was moist and fresh. The steak was juicy. After our meal, our server asked if we were celebrating something. I told him it was my birthday and I got a free glass of champagne and a dessert tray. Highly recommend! read more

We came here on Thanksgiving and boy was it a treat. The ambiance is dark woods, dim lighting and a clubby feel. Our server Mitoki was an absolutely stellar server who made our meal all the more enjoyable. He was knowledgeable and accommodative of our special dietary requests. The seafood tower is just heaven! Everything was so fresh and prepared perfectly. Their soups like the French onion and lobster bisque are a perfect accompaniment to any of their entrees and gets your tastebuds ready for the main course! The steaks come out to the exact doneness requested and the fish is flakey and moist. Can't beat steakhouse sides and the Capital Grille doesn't disappoint. The mashed potatoes, asparagus and creamed corn got thumbs up all around from our group. If by some chance you have saved room for dessert or just plan to stuff yourself, the limited time pumpkin cheesecake is just divine - even for folks who don't typically like pumpkin. I would skip the coconut creme pie. It was mostly whipped cream and not that interesting. Go for the flourless chocolate cake if not cheesecake. Great winelist too! read more

Went here for lunch with some co-workers to this up-scale spot located in the St John's Town Center (group of approximately 15). I was greeted at the front door and escorted back to our table which was large enough to seat all of us comfortably. Upon being seated, I was greeted by one of our two-servers who offered me a beverage and a spare cloth napkin. There was already fresh rolls and salted butter on the table. The rolls were still warm. Once our whole group was seated, we ordered several appetizers (shrimp cocktail, prosciutto wrapped mozzarella, and lobster crab cake). All appetizers were great, the shrimp cocktail comes with 5 massive shrimp with cocktail sauce on a bed of ice. The crab cake is dense and flavorful (no remoulade that I saw). For dinner I ordered the NY strip with au poivre with a cream sauce served medium rare (your server will then repeat it back to you making sure they understand the cooking instructions). It is a massive cut of meat and the sauce is great. However, my steak was a little closer to rare than medium rare. This seemed to be a theme at our table as a couple of other diners sent their steaks back bc they were undercooked or complained of chicken being overcooked. We also ordered several shareable sides (brussel sprouts, lobster Mac and cheese and scalloped potatoes). The brussel sprouts were my fave, they are soy glazed with pieces of bacon and they are amazing. For dessert the group split cheesecake, coconut cream pie and flourless chocolate espresso cake. I really enjoyed the pie (both the pie and cheesecake are served as individual servings as opposed to slices). Diners who did not like coffee complained of the coffee flavor in the chocolate cake. Service was impeccable and food was great. read more

So many great things to say about The Capital Grille: upscale vibe, fresh foods to select from menu, a wide variety of cocktails, the host and hostesses are very friendly, the bread served before the meal is delightful (contains about four or five varieties of bread), and the waiters and waitresses cater to your every need! The reason I subtracted a star is the prices are over the top ($39 for a chicken breast served on mashed potatoes). PS - Order a dirty martini!

My wife and I came in on Christmas Eve afternoon (highly recommend making reservations ahead of time like we did) and had an absolutely flawless experience. We started by sharing the Crab Cocktail--an insane amount of fresh crab that was worth every penny. For soups, my Lobster Bisque was rich and came with plenty of lobster chunks and a tableside sherry pour, while my wife's onion soup was equally delicious. For the mains, my Kona-crusted NY Strip was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and my wife loved her tenderloin with twin lobster tails. We shared the creamed spinach and creamed corn--both were delicious but very rich; next time we'll likely try the highly-recommended Brussels sprouts for some balance! The highlight, though, was the service. Eric and Max are an incredible team. Their timing is impeccable and they are always attentive without being intrusive. By either luck or their own clever "manipulation," we ended up with a separate room all to ourselves for about 30 minutes, which was a lovely reprieve from the holiday crowd. Even though we were too full for dessert, Eric brought out a tasting of the chocolate ganache cake (to die for!) and the cheesecake. At around $280 including wine and tip, it was worth every dime. It's clear the management here is committed to excellence. We'll be back! read more
