    Completely enjoyed this superior dining experience at The Capital Grille. From the moment you walk through the door, there is a high level of efficient, professional, and genuinely welcoming service. We were seated in a lovely booth overlooking the kitchen, which was such a fun touch--we could actually watch all the action happening behind the scenes. Our wait staff, Andrew and Joseph, were fantastic. They were attentive, personable, and worked hard to meet every dining wish. A couple of managers also stopped by to say hello, which made the experience feel even more special. The décor and ambiance are sophisticated and elegant without feeling stuffy. It just feels proper! Things we totally loved: The crab cake with lobster was large, perfectly seasoned, crisp on the outside, and simply a really good crab cake. The variety of breads is so darn good that it's difficult to stop eating them, especially with the wonderfully creamy butter that accompanies the breadbasket. A real star of the show was the lobster bisque. It was absolutely delicious and easily one of the best lobster bisques I've ever had. The entrées: The Porterhouse did not miss! It is definitely a substantial steak--essentially two steaks in one. Make sure to order the sauces on the side. The Capital Grille's Signature Steak Sauce has a rich sweetness from cane sugar, brown sugar, and molasses, and the Courvoisier cognac cream sauce was incredible. Wow! Both totally elevated the steak experience. We also ordered the roasted chicken with fingerling potatoes in a Dijon cream sauce. This dish had great potential, but unfortunately our chicken was a bit overcooked and dry. I'm confident that when cooked properly, it would be delicious. And dessert--don't skip it! The chocolate espresso flourless cake is a must, and the apple tart was fantastic. We really, really enjoyed the entire experience. Between the beautiful atmosphere, exceptional service, and some truly standout dishes, this was a memorable evening. I would absolutely recommend The Capital Grille, and I'm already looking forward to returning soon.

    Excellent lunch service with Megan and Rachel! I love that they have multiple imported Liquors, I had my staple French75 with impress gin-- divine!! For lunch, I tried their salmon which was cooked nicely couscous rice threw me off because it is sweet, but it balanced out just not expected. And the clam chowder was pretty good, I am not a fan of a lot of potato cubes and there was just the right amount. The ambience is welcoming and modern feel.

    The Livonia location is new and was really busy on a Thursday night. The parking lot is large (you could park near Coopers Hawk as it shares the lot) near Laurel Park Mall/Holiday Inn but it was so busy, I had to drive around to find a spot. Service was excellent (really exceptional). We had a lovely evening with friends, had some cocktails (took a while to come out but we were catching up so that was okay), and treated ourselves to a special meal. My friend had the Sliced Filet Mignon and really enjoyed it. I ordered the Sea Bass and it was alright (maybe a touch overcooked) and personally it does not need as much butter sauce (my asparagus and mushrooms were drowning). I would stick to their steaks. It is a pricey night out but honestly the atmosphere is upscale and very nice (a good place for taking business clients out). I did see a private room with a nice large round table. The bar area was also full and has like 5 TVs so a good place to watch a game and have a nice drink. I would recommend The Capital Grille for a special evening out. Make a reservation (they seem super busy)!

    It was a little tough to figure out what I wanted to rate my experience. I decided on a 3 simply because the service was okay and the first bread basket I had was cold. The next one was better. The truffle fries didn't seem fresh, the chicken breast was okay that was barely warm and tough. I was just disappointed. The server was nice she was just hard to find when you needed something, the table in front of me, were upset as well because they couldn't find her. The black tie margarita was pretty good but it tasted like juice. The overall all experience was just okay and I wanted more for a restaurant that is considered 'fine dining' like actually fresh food the price. I will try the other location in Troy again and maybe this location when it's not as new.

    The service is exceptional! As soon as we walk through the door we are greeted and taken to our table. No long waits on being welcomed. The restaurant is gorgeous from the decor at the bar to the linens. I'm really big on clean and beautiful restrooms where I eat dinner. The ambiance is a sexy sultry vibe. I've always loved the Capital Grille in Troy but there is something refreshing about the one in Livonia. The food is excellent this is a restaurant that takes pride in their presentation. Unfortunately, I only took pics of the drinks and restroom. I will return soon to add food pics.

    Creamed Spinach

    We visited Capital Grille for my FIL's birthday and had a really nice experience. We have two little ones with us and thankfully the table that we reserved was in a separate, spacious room. They got to run around to their hearts desire without disturbing other guests, which their parents really appreciated. The food was very well done, starting with a surprise flavorful amuse bouche. Steaks were cooked perfectly and sides were wonderful- especially the creamed spinach. I've never had creamed spinach before and it's definitely now a favorite of mine. Unfortunately, the only bummer was the asparagus- which was VERY thin and fibrous on the ends but all in all the food quality was very high. Dessert was delicious and they even brought out a small platter for the birthday celebration. Service was attentive and detailed (crumbing the table) without being intrusive, but I will admit it took a while for anyone to come check on us for boxes and the bill. All that to say, we will 100% be back again for another special event!

    We went here for our anniversary and the service was great from everyone. They put rose petals on our table which was so nice! They brought out the bread basket and butter quickly, and all of the food was well paced. All of the food was good- we started with the goat cheese salad (it had a tiny bit of a kick spice wise) and lobster bisque which was on special that evening. I had the Wagyu filet mignon which was great. For sides we had the mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts and they were both excellent! The bruleed cheesecake is as good as it sounds! We had to get boxes because we couldn't finish it all. The only downside is the background noise was pretty loud. At times I had to shout so that my husband could hear me. But we'd still visit again

    A food is good, but just mediocre. And for the prices, it should be melting in your mouth wanting more and you don't get that from here.

    Gosh... maybe I'm a Neapolitan pizza guy now. Talk about an amazing pizza. Came here with my friend…read morefor dinner the other night. I'd recommend a reservation as there isn't that much dining space. We didn't have one, but the wait was only about 15 minutes which was nice. Our server was very friendly and quite attentive so A for service. I had an old fashioned which was very good. One of the better ones I've had. Good pour hahaha. The star of the show was the pizza. I had the pozzuoli. What a pizza. Lots of toppings. Excellent crust. Dough had great flavor. Everything just worked. Better than the pizza I had in Italy. Yes; it's floppy. Grow up. That's how Neapolitan pizza is supposed to be. Personal size, but I was full by the end. Highly recommend. You get your money's worth with the pizza. Very good service. Again; fantastic food.

    Not a terrible place for a pizza, but overpriced and very much a dine-in sort of joint…read more I can see why people complain about carryout here. Even eating in, the pizza is very heavy and bordering soggy. Waiting a few minutes in a box would wreck it. That being said, it is a good pie, but not worth double what other places charge. Salads are good, but have almost no dressing. Servers barely felt like they existed. Having at least one good one could brighten this drab place up. They attract a pretty awful crowd here, too. Some were very loud, others spent their entire meal spreading their spite for being alive. Awful atmosphere. Maybe going late and on the right day would be better. Location: 2* Convenience: 1* Service: 1* Product/quality: 3* Aesthetics: 1*

    Food: after being there probably about 10 times, I will say the menu changes, and some hit and…read moremiss, but overall, you can find something suit to your palate. I like the moderate and healthier portion of the plate. I found new modern American restaurants are gradually trending to a smaller sized dishes. Many desserts here seem to be instagram worthy and the cocktail here can be eye candies sometimes. Ambiance: Ambiance is one of the reasons make up to the 5 star rating of this place. This is one of the restaurants in Plymouth has the decor embracing modern upscale feel which is my cup of tea. The tree in the middle of room gives you an outdoor ambiance while enjoying the inside comfort. Service: Nothing stand out but the service is mostly prompt and well staffed. Final verdict: I've come here for three birthday celebrations, and previously they gave birthday person a free cake, a free Polaroid phot as souvenir and even a wine opening gift sets one time, but this year I got nothing! That's a disappointing downgrade, but overall, still a great spot to visit in downtown Plymouth for a meal, a drink or just a sweet!

    Only bar seats available at the moment. Got a table for only an hour reservation. That works…read more Nicely decorated interior. Sarah waited on us. She's attentive and on it, the rest of the staff made sure our dishes were cleared, drinks were topped off. Ordered Brussel chips, fat-sar salad, Lobster Mac N Cheese, truffle fries, G.O.A.T. 22, trumpet scallop pad Thai. $170.66 The Brussel chips, lobster Mac and the trumpet scallops (mushrooms) Pad Thai noodles were good at least. The G.O.A.T., Fat-sar and truffles were all underwhelming for me. Their tomahawk steaks are huge, table next to us got two cut up table side. You can smell the smoke flavor from the old fashioned drinks as soon as you walk in the door.
