    The best steakhouse in Memphis! There are plenty of top steakhouses but this one is the best for service, food and ambiance. This restaurant never disappoints with the quality of food. The manager and waiters are always attentive to your needs. The ambiance is great for date night or any celebration. You will always have great food. They also offer complimentary valet just bring cash for tips.

    Discovered excessive connective tissue. Pretty sure they used the end 10% of the tenderloin for their remakes. Poor quality control.

    I was the guest of honor at a dinner here in Feb 2026. I chose the restaurant in December, and waited with anticipation for a fine dinner. I ordered a medium filet crusted in pepper (which the waiter said they could accomplish). Everyone received their meal as ordered. Mine came without the pepper. 1st mistake. They added the pepper, but the steak came out well-done. 2nd mistake. They said they would comp the steak, but they would have to start another. 30 minutes later, and everyone at the table was finished with their meal and I hadn't received my remake. So now I feel terrible for everyone else at the table. When my filet was eventually brought out, it was rare. 3rd mistake. They put my steak back on the grill and I then received a medium rare steak (which the waitress confirmed). 4th mistake. Remember I asked for medium. Since it was 45 minutes past everyone receiving their food, I asked for my food to be boxed. I didn't get to eat at my celebration dinner. At home, I tried to resurrect my twice bisected steak pieces (they made me cut it to show them the color). The quality of the remake was poor. Silver skin (no photo) and excessive connective tissue. It looks like the very ends of the tenderloin--which skilled butcher would've handled. The quality control on the raw steak should have been better. So, my night at Capital Grille was terrible. I barely ate anything in the restaurant, left feeling disappointed in the food, and guilty in front of my family for just wanting what I ordered. Definitely a poor night.

    The place to go for the full steakhouse experience! My experience at Capital Grille lived up to the reputation of the establishment. We didn't have a reservation because it was early for dinner and we knew we wanted to sit at the bar. We entered from the brightness of the day outside in the dark and sultry interior of the restaurant. We were greeted and ushered to the bar area where we chose our own seats. Our bartender introduced himself, provided us with menus, and informed us of the specials of the day. We told him we were on a mission to find a great burger and we had come specifically for the burger specials. He explained the options to us and helped us make drink selections to pair with our choices. I chose the Wagyu Cheeseburger with no bun, fries, and a Pinot Noir and my husband got the bleu cheese and black truffle burger with fries. Our orders arrived promptly and looked delicious! Each burger was cooked to our exact specifications, mine being medium and my husband's medium rare. You could see the difference on the inside color once we had taken a few bites. The fries were also great. Steakhouse fries are some of the most underrated menu items. They're always a step above. All in all, we loved our experience at Capital Grille and will definitely be back for more.

    22 oz bone-in ribeye

    We ate there last night. I've eaten at TCG in NYC 2x and Dallas 2x. Those are phenomenal. This one would come in 3rd between those. The experience and service was 5 star, but the 22 oz bone-in ribeye was not as good as the others. Not seasoned as thoroughly as the others but still melt in your mouth. This one is the closest to me but not sure I'd travel back to eat there.

    Mushroom and Swiss Wagyu burger and fries

    Ate the Wagyu and Wine last night. It was delish!!! I chose the mushroom and Swiss burger. It was cooked perfectly and the fries cooked in duck fat were awesome. This is such a great deal - don't miss out. It's available until November 16th, for $35 you get to pick from three delicious burger options and 3 wines plus it includes fries. The service and atmosphere are great as always.

    I don't normally order burgers out but since CG's Wagyu and Wine is so popular, I decided to try. It is amazing!

    It pains me to have to leave this review. I came here once before several months ago and was very…read moreimpressed. I had a fantastic espresso martini and the best brussel sprouts I've ever tasted! So I was excited to come try something else. On the plus side, the bathroom was so nicely decorated. It was also very clean. I sat at the end of the bar, beside the little section of books. The bartender was nice. I ordered the Ember&Passion cocktail. Although it was pretty good, it was quite mild. Unexpected with the ingredients in it. I was surprised that the level of expected heat was not very detectable. I give it 7/10. When I came here before in the winter, the temperature was perfect and I don't remember being too bothered that they don't have cocktail napkins. But yesterday it was quite warm in the restaurant and not having these napkins wasn't good. Nobody in the restaurant had any type of napkin under any drink! I noticed that just like mine, every glass of water from every patron had a puddle of condensation under the glass. Each time I picked up my glass of water, it would drip onto my food and clothes. My two menus got so wet. I suppose they made this decision to save themselves a lot of money. As for the food: My parmesan truffle fries were excellent!! Hot, crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked in the middle. Best I've had in a long time. The Alabama white sauce on the side was just your typical sauce. It tasted just like every other Alabama white sauce that I've had so was not disappointing. But I actually ended up not using it because it was too thin and it didn't add anything to the fries. The fries were excellent enough on their own. I ordered my burger "pink" but there wasn't any pink to it, but I wasn't that bothered about it. Burger and the toppings were tasty, except for the fried green tomato. Looking closely at the picture, you can see that it was SO SMALL compared to the size of the burger. When a restaurant does that, don't they realize that it makes for a glaring disappointment?! It apparently came from near the end of the tomato, and not the middle. If you are going to offer a fried green tomato on a burger, then I feel as if you should only use the larger slices of the tomato, and save the smaller ends for maybe putting in salads. I've always been obsessed with fried green tomatoes. After having my first two bites of burger and still not reaching the tomato, I took it off to eat by itself. Sadly, it tasted terrible! I was surprised. Obviously, they didn't season the tomato or the batter. (Salt and pepper go a long way.) The burger toppings apparently made the tomato batter not only soggy, but also this strange thick texture. Like mushy and chewy at the same time. 1/10 Worst problem: FLIES!!! So many flies! When I just had my drink but no food yet, I noticed them but was not bombarded by them at that point. It wasn't until my food came. All of a sudden I was literally surrounded by them. They were everywhere! No exaggeration. I actually had to use only one hand to eat and the other hand to constantly move back and forth over my food. I eventually gave up and set the plate of some of my fries about 4 inches in front of my burger in order to hopefully draw the flies to the fries so that I could eat my burger. Unfortunately, after only four bites of my burger, when I set it down to take a drink of water, a fly landed on it within one second. Obviously, that was my last bite, and even when I was moving the plate closer to the end of the counter, two more flies landed on it. The glass of straws was inches from me. That, and the book closest to me seemed to be where they gathered to wait for their opportunity to dive bomb me. So many of them! It turned my stomach when I realized that I had been drinking from a straw with my water and I'm sure there had been flies on it before I got there. Every person that gets a straw in their drink at this restaurant has had a fly sitting on top of it. When the bartender told me about the desserts, it turned my stomach to think of just how many flies were in the kitchen. Had I known the fly situation was that bad when I first got my drink, I would have never stayed there, and I certainly would have never ordered food. I do think it is a real shame because the winter months are a totally different experience in that restaurant. But because of how horrible it was this time, I just can't ever come back.

She carried this review up to the 3 I'm giving Non-Vintage. First of all, there was a severe deficiency of seating and staff for this event. No one greeted us when we entered, we moved chairs ourselves to make an accommodating space out of the way of the performers, and at no point did a member of staff take our order outside of waiting at the bar. The line for the bar was right in the way of the performers, and many people were forced to wait 10+ minutes for a drink order because there was only one bartender working. Another staff member had offered to help, and the bartender DECLINED, forcing us to continue to wait. I did try the wings and the charcuterie, they were good. I tried the nonalcoholic hibiscus drink and the nonalcoholic summer cooler drink. The summer cooler was much better in my opinion, but both were good nonalcoholic options. I think I would like to try this place when they are not hosting an event, I'm sure it's lovely when they are staffed appropriately for the shift. However, I was sorely disappointed tonight being forced to wait nearly an hour at the bar, missing parts of the show and on my feet for just a drink.

The…read morecelebration began with our welcome from friendly, cordial valets who genuinely seemed happy to park our car. Really! We had reservations and were promptly seated by a cordial hostess. The reason we chose this restaurant for our dinner was, simply, their grilled scallops. I've enjoyed them before and Tuesday's were even better than my recollection. The accompanying corn risotto, a seasonal special, was delicious. Its unexpectedly crunchy texture was a nice contrast to the tender scallops. We enjoyed a chilled rosé, and ended our meal with one of this restaurant's tiny-and-tasty desserts each: s'more for me, key lime for my husband. Perfect! But, my real motivation for writing this review is to compliment our waitress, Sophie. In my experience it's not easy to strike the right note when serving dinner to strangers. Sophie's work was just right; she listened to our requests, making eye contact with us both, and visiting our table at intervals that were attentive without being intrusive. The kitchen prepared appealing plates and Sophie delivered them while they were hot. Best of all, she chatted with us, shared a little if herself and listened when we reciprocated. At the end of our dinner, our car was retrieved promptly by pleasant valets, and we were quickly on our way. All in all, we had a very relaxed and pleasant evening, so thank you, Seasons 52, and thank you, Sophie!

He was then subsequently also tasked with an entire conference room full of people to serve. - When our food did finally come out, it was lukewarm and the appetizer arrived when the rest of our meal arrived, 47 minutes after we arrived. --- Total miss management of staffing!!! - Also, they are cutting back on the size of the meatballs now, which used to be a favorite. We'll think twice about returning here!

    Alright, lets get into this…read more.. Walking in I was pleasantly surprised...Flight is in a tough location because parking isnt exactly ideal but as soon as you walk up, a hostess opens the door and welcomes you in. I didnt get photos of the restaurant but they have a really cool split floor design, we got to sit upstairs. I recommend you sit upstairs it possible because the first floor gets louder faster if that makes sense. Plenty of very attentive and friendly staff so you will need for nothing while you are there. Now for the food...we started off with the SNAKE RIVER FARMS WAGYU CARPACCIO. It was . My only critique if I had one; I wish it had a little more carpaccio. Now before I get into entree's let me explain how "Flight" works...You can order a single large entree for dinner, orrrrrrr, if you're like me and LOVE food, you can order a flight of three smaller portions of the entree's! Bring your appetite (and your platinum card). I ordered a three entree flight of Bison Ribeye, roasted duck breast and the chilean sea bass. I would rank them in that order although they were all delicious. That bison tho.... The wife ordered a three entree flight of the prime ribeye, sea scallops, and the twin lobster tails. She wasnt a huge fan of the prime ribeye, she said it was a little tough. She loved the scallops and lobster (although she will never forgive herself for dropping a huge piece of lobster on the floor). Oh and her scallops came with this gnocchi that was TO DIE FOR!!!! We finished the night off with a three dessert flight of pistachio mousse, lava cake and apple walnut cobbler. The pistachio mousse was light and refreshing on a hot summer day. She loved her apple cobbler. We werent huge fans of the lava cake. It just didnt have that nostalgic lava cake taste and texture. That and the peppermint gelato it came with was very strong on the peppermint. Im sure some would love it but it just wasnt for us. Last piece Ill mention is just the effort and attention to detail. It was our anniversary and they brought us complimentary glasses of champagne (thank you). They are very deliberate in how they move, their table settings and our server knew her restaurant like a pro. Even down to the way they stage your silverware knowing how their flight plates take up table space. Bravo, Great experience! Definitely a little too pricey to be a frequent spot, but great for special occasions!
