This is such an amazing place to celebrate special evenings over dinner! We visit often and always ask for Walter or Mark when we go. On this particular visit, which was to celebrate a new job, we sat with Mark and he did an amazing job taking care of us! The food was outstanding, as always! The venue is upscale and excellent! And they have such an appetizing and amazing menu loaded with all the favs we enjoy! We'll continue to return, but not only for special events, just for the average date night too! Kudos to Mark for the great service also!! read more

Good experience, even though our steak was overcooked. Wife and I split a 24-oz porterhouse, which was the special. Au gratin potatoes as a side. Ordered the steak medium rare, but it came out unevenly cooked and medium well in most places. The waiter asked, and I politely explained it was a bit overcooked, but was still tender and flavorful. He apologized and offered to comp dessert, which we accepted. The manager came by a few minutes later and profusely apologized, then offered post-dinner drinks. He talked into an espresso martini and what came out as a double Blanton's. I thought that was above and beyond. Tuna tartare appetizer was solid, as always, and the gratin potatoes were awesome. The coconut cream pie was descent. Kevin's insistence on comping the drinks was awesome. We'll be back. read more

My wife really wanted to go here based on the great reviews. However, we did not have a pleasant experience. To start, there is no parking in front of the restaurant so you are forced to do valet which I am not a fan of. Our reservation was for 8pm but we were not seated until close to 8:30 so we weren't off to a great start. When we were finally seated, to my surprise the tables were very close to one another. The tables were so close that my wife and I felt like we were going to hit the tables beside us because we were that close to them. The restaurant was very loud and we were so close to the tables beside us that we felt like we were pretty much in their conversations. The service was great, our server was great and very attentive, and our food came out very fast. The food however severely lacked flavor. Anytime I go anywhere and there is a lobster bisque or a lobster mac and cheese on the menu I must order it. I have never had a lobster mac and cheese or lobster bisque that was not great until I came here. The lobster bisque did not have flavor and lacked seasoning. The lobster mac and cheese was supposed to be shareable but was pretty small and lacked a good amount of cheese. I also needed to put salt and pepper on the mac and cheese. I ordered the ribeye steak which was cooked very well, was tender, juicy, but lacked seasoning. I needed to put a good amount of salt on the steak. My wife had to do the same with her lamb chops. For as much money as we spent at this restaurant the food was very subpar. What was supposed to be a fine dining experience failed to miss the mark and left my wife and I feeling pretty underwhelmed. read more

AJ was such a helpful and attentive sever! Thanks for a wonderful dinner! I will be back. Loved the perfectly cooked halibut and the butter sauce was flavorful. The au gratin potatoes were creamy and tender. The coconut pie was delightful. Beautiful interior especially the bar area. I'm glad i found this spot and will definitely come back during my next trip. It was packed by the time i was done with my early dinner on a Tuesday night. read more

We went there for a birthday dinner celebration on Friday night at 7 pm. We had reservations and they seated us right away. I had the steak and my wife had the lamb chops. We had au gratin potatoes and creamed spinach as sides, and then we shared a creme brûlée for dessert. The food was all very good and the service was great. On the pricy side. read more

I went for my wedding anniversary. They did an excellent job making it special with a hand written note amongst other things. Although the food was delicious, I don't think it quite lived up to the price. read more

A very fine upscale restaurant. The food is very good, so good that they sent the wrong steak to my brother and when they offered to replace it, he was content and they gave us a complimentary dessert. Everything was delicious and the cheesecake was airy and smooth and wonderful. I got the steak with au poivre sauce and it was full of flavor and peppery bite on top of a tender and perfect medium rare steak. Warning if you go during Christmas they pack in extra tables and it's super busy and noisy. Great splurge restaurant just not during Christmas. read more

It's about food, service, and ambiance. Capital grille checks all those boxes. The decor is delightful. Servers were all over us. Constant water glass refills. Constant checks to make sure everything was perfect. And the food: No misses with our meal. Iceberg lettuce, blue cheese, and bacon bits salad. Scrumptious. 10 ounce filet mignon. Medium rare. Tender. Luscious. Cheese cake dessert. Light. not too dense. With a caramelized top. Oh my. A bread basket that looked like the horn of plenty. Seriously. A jaw dropping experience. We can't wait to come back. read more

Capital Grill is one of my favorite DC chain steakhouses and seafood restaurants, this one located in Tyson's Corner, VA. This is a very classy, beautifully designed classic traditional American restaurant, the kind your grandpa would love, that is great for a family get together, good times with friends or happy hour with business colleagues. Capital Grill has a fantastic bar and cocktail selections as well as an impressive wine list. The menu is awesome - a wide selection of raw bar, seafood towers, amazing appetizers, meats and side dishes. We came with an old friend and enjoyed several perfectly made Martini's, shared several appetizers, a seafood tower, a crab cake, a steak au'pouvre and sides. The tower was boasting amazingly fresh seafood and their crab cake is worth trying. All food was excellent and service was friendly and helpful. This is a classy and dressy restaurant. Food: 4.5 stars Vibe: 4.5 stars Service: 4.5 stars Tips: Valet Parking Very friendly and helpful service Formal and dressy Traditional American Great steaks and Seafood Great wine and cocktails Expensive Great place for a family get together read more

The waiters here were very mean, they were very racist towards me and my friends.We couldn't enjoy our meal without someone say something to us about talking and they also kept an eye on us like we were some type of threat. The food wasn't as good as the price they asked for. It wasn't to the liking or instructions I asked them to put. Would not recommend for any of the black communities. read more

Came for restaurant week a few weeks ago after wanting to try this spot for so long. They also had the generous pour deal going on at the same time which allowed us to try about 7 wines. I was a little disappointed by the generous pour experience. The table next to us kept getting refills and I thought we'd get refills but our waiter didn't indicate this at all. TikTok also made this seem like the case but maybe we just weren't as lucky. Overall, the wine service from our waiter was a little slow as well so it was even more discouraging seeing the table next to us get better service and really get their generous pour offering while we didn't. The wine was good so I would have liked a little more. As for the food, everything was delicious. You do get a bread basket to start and we opted for the wedge salads. I love blue cheese so this was great. I got the chopped filet mignon with mushrooms and it was amazing and cooked perfectly. So juicy and tender. My boyfriend got the NY strip which was excellent. The sides were mashed potatoes and creamed spinach and I think the spinach was my favorite - so good. Dessert I got the flourless espresso chocolate cake and loved it. The cheesecake was also pretty good but I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake. I did order a cup of decaf and this was great coffee, definitely recommend getting some with dessert. Overall, definitely go for the steak. Other service was pretty good aside from the wine experience but the waiter did try to take my salad plate when I was still eating with some on my plate which was awkward. The restaurant is also classy with nice decor and parking was easy either at the mall or the lot nearby. read more

Celebrated my birthday here for lunch. My friend called ahead to make a reservation, and said the occasion was to celebrate a birthday. Upon arrival, the host led me and my friend to a booth seat with confetti on the table and a birthday card! The grapefruit soda is made in house and is really good! There are no free refills, though, so I was charged for e glasses! Lol I had the ribeye steak with truffle fries, which was really good. And it was very reasonably priced too! All in all, good service, great prices, and a very enjoyable birthday lunch! read more

Wow wow wow! This is my favorite steak restaurant around DMV. When my husband asked me which restaurant I want to go to for my birthday, I said Capital Grille. It offers complimentary parking, which is awesome. When we got a table, there was a birthday card. It was a nice surprise. The service is very attentive. We got oysters. It was very fresh and came with horseradish and vinegar. Clam chowder: It was very smooth, Lobster: fresh and meaty. Love butter dipping sauce. Steak: it was nicely baked and seasoned perfectly. Cake: the birthday cake was very nice and did not too sweet. People are very happy, and I always get a good vibe. Highly recommend this place. read more

Came here on a Saturday and it was packed. One thing to note is if you do not have a reservation the valet will not park your car. I had to get out of my car and go in the restaurant to make a reservation then come back out to get my car parked since no one picked up the phone when I called for a reservation from my car. That being said we ordered the seafood appetizer platter that came with oysters, lobster, and shrimp. We also ordered some crab cakes and the ribeye. Overall the food was really fresh and service was great. I look forward to coming back to this place, minus the hot potato parking game. read more

We came here for restaurant week and the place was very fancy. We had a reservation but were able to get seated a little before it. We also ended up parking at the Tysons parking garage for free and just walked over there. I got the filet mignon cooked medium rare and the middle was raw and my friend who got medium was more of a medium rare cook. The mashed potatoes were smooth and the cheesecake was not bad. The vibe was super fancy and the service was quite attentive. Definitely a place for anyone who wants a fancy steakhouse dinner. read more

Absolutely outstanding experience at The Capital Grille! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, elegant, and inviting. The staff provided impeccable service--attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Special thanks to Kevin, Justin and all the staff we encountered. Todd the GM has created a great team culture! The Wagyu & Wine special was a true indulgence. The Wagyu burgers were cooked to perfection, with an incredible texture and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Each bite was rich and flavorful, and the wine pairings from the Duckhorn Portfolio elevated the experience even further! Every detail made for a five-star evening. Thanks for a great evening! read more

We went here for our super late Valentine's Day dinner! The valet and our server were extremely sweet. We were taken into the back room where we were seated distantly from other parties. The tables all had a hand sanitizer on it for your own use. The waiter we had was extremely energetic and kind and gave us the best recommendations. It's been a while since we went out and dinned somewhere a little nicer, so being able to escape and feeling safe made me comfortable :) We even got a cute little dessert plate afterwards! I definitely would come back in the future for when I'm craving some yummy steak! I also highly recommend getting their truffle fries! read more

We went to Capital Grille on Christmas Eve and expected phenomenal food and service as we normally enjoy there, and were very disappointed. The tables were crammed together to make room for more reservations, you couldn't even walk between the chairs. The mashed potatoes were cold and like glue and the service was not up to their standard. Our waiter started off great but as the meal went on, got worse and worse. No one cleared our plates and we had to wait for our check for what seemed like a half hour and I had to ask another waiter to bring our check and take my credit card. Our waiter finally returned and said goodbye. It's was a very expensive meal for food that was sub par and average service. We were hoping for a different experience especially on Christmas Eve. read more

I have been a patron of Capital Grille Tysons for the 9 years we have lived here. We went to Capital Grille Tysons for Valentine's Day 2026. Normally I would give 10 stars to my visit and service at Capital Grille Tysons. But, this time I can only give 1 star because of my server Lourdes. This is said because I ordered a steak, I asked my steak to be cooked well done. In the 9 years I have been a patron at Capital Grille I have ordered my steak well done and those previous steaks have been perfectly well done, juicy, tender, and flavorful. But on this Valentine's Day 2026 after Lourdes frowned and said no it will be dry. I told her that had never been my experience at Capital Grille Tysons. So, when my entre was delivered it was burnt, it was burnt to the point that I could scrape the brunt off of the steak, it looked like the chef and Lourdes had conspired to make my meal horrible. read more

While a dish or two was outstanding others were not worth the trouble......Food could be better Service....Polite well-polished, however our dinner came out before the appetizer.... Ambiance....

Came here last night for dinner with a friend. Valet was not being offered (obviously due to COVID), but we were lucky enough to find an open spot out front! With reservations, we were seated right away--there weren't many people here on a Tuesday night. Service overall was good, and all staff were wearing masks. For appetizer, we ordered the Pan-Fried Calamari and Wedge Salad. The calamari was not seasoned well or crispy enough for my liking, and it did not come with any sauce (only a lemon wedge) so I had to ask for marinara sauce. The wedge salad was good but it was loaded with too much dressing that my lettuce was drenched with it. For entrees, both our steak dishes were delicious--ordered off the Chef's Suggestions" section: Porcini Rubbed Bone-in Ribeye and the Seared Tenderloin with Butter Poached Lobster Tails. The meats were tender and well flavored--and cooked just right! For the side dish, we shared the Roasted Brussels Sprouts--I was not a fan of this, the sauce added in it was way too sweet. read more

We came here for a business dinner. I believe our server name was Jason and he was amazing. He had a great recommendations very attentive. We shared a lot of of appetizers and sides. As far as the sides I felt the star of the show was the brussels sprouts. He convinced us to get a bone in fillet, which was really really good. The second runner-up I would say was the mac & cheese. I definitely would come back. Do you keep in mind that they valet and you can pay with credit card or cash at the front overall customer service was amazing. read more

This place was lovely. Despite a rainy Tuesday night, the bar was packed. We found a seat. And everything was great lobster Mc and cheese was yummy. Cooked perfectly With big chunks of lobster and good mixture of cheeses, the bites were melting In the mouth. Wedge salad was great. I asked for house dressing. That one i wasn't impressed with. Was too thick. Beef tartar was good. Bartender was fairly attentive and i will gladly return. read more

I spent $1800 not including tip on dinner last night. It was fine...my fillet just ok. I was hosting dinner and never given a chance to order apps. I would have liked a salad but the server was a little all over the place. 3.5 maybe a 4 if my server was better....I think my steak was ok, cook correctly but not as tender as a prime cooked blue fillet should be. If I could go back in time I would have had the tuna as my party seemed to enjoy it...that said it is a steak house. read more

My 2023 birthday dinner at The Capital Grille, Fair Lakes Promenade in Fairfax, VA was, hands down, the BEST restaurant my husband has ever taken me in the DMV! Totally ranks HIGH on my list ... I'll say it was even better than Hell's Kitchen in Vegas! The food was delicious. My seared tuna and his lamb chops were excellently seasoned. The chefs clearly pay attention to detail and take pride in the art of presentation. Just like others have mentioned, the table was decorated in honor of my birthday ... I even got a card. The entire restaurant is gorgeous and clean ... even the little lamp on our table was shining bright and dust-free! Our servers stayed attentive ... we definitely felt the love. I was SUPER impressed with everything. Dinner here put my 56th birthday celebration to the top of my short list of BEST birthday's EVER. My only regret is not getting a pic of myself with the lions in the front of the restaurant. *tear* read more

Talk about a five star experience!!! They had me at complimentary valet. My party of five was greeted promptly upon entry and was lucky to have Kanita as our server. Around of Bohemian cocktails kicked off our Sunday brunch followed by a smorgasbord of tasty bites. I had the lobster Mac-n-cheese with the jumbo lump crab cocktail and a side of grilled asparagus AND coconut cream pie for dessert. The lobster Mac was more saucy than cheesy, but tasty down to the last bite. The jumbo lump crab is LEGIT all crab no filler and of course you can never go wrong with asparagus. The coconut cream pie took me by surprise. I'm not a huge fan of coconuts, but it was highly recommended, so we gave it a try. The cookie, coconut cream and cake hit every note, not too sweet and not too nutty :-) Overall a 5 star experience ideal for a first date, brunch or family dinner. read more

Wednesday, May 24th was my family's first time back at Capitol Grille post-Covid. The valet was great, but once the four of us were seated and were greeted by our waiter, things began immediately going downhill. Before Covid, going to Capital Grille for dinner was a fancy event to look forward to, but our recent visit was disappointing. Our waiter was rude and uninterested in providing our table service. When we would ask for a drink, he merely pushed the iPad that housed the drink menu in our direction, without providing any sort of guidance or explanation; not to mention, the table is already filled with plates and glasses, and there's not much room left to juggle an iPad. Our server greeted us curtly and hastily took down our drink orders and then our entrees. Being that we were celebrating our mom's birthday that day, there was no personable or friendly/warm service given. The waiter clearly wanted to finish up with us and leave. We noted that the quality of the food has also gone really downhill as well. The steaks and chicken dishes are tiny, and have lost the touch and attention that Capital Grille used to have. Better quality meat can be found at stores such as Wegmans or Trader Joe's, and for a fraction of the hideously inflated prices the restaurant charges. Although my family has had many great memories at Capital Grille, we've made the decision to not return any time soon...at least not until the restaurant returns to the quality food and quality service that it had been renowned for all these previous years. read more
