Tuna Tartare with Avocado, Mango and Sriracha
David P.

Capital Grille never disappoints. Their attentiveness permeates from their hostess to their staff at table service. They ensure your experience is optimal from start to finish. Great for date or family night and noise level provides atmosphere for conversation. We started off with a French onion soup cup, and a butternut squash cup. Both were delicious! I have to say the French onion soup slightly surpassed the butternut squash only because they added curry to the dish. Their filet mignon is moist with a pink center and perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also enjoyed the Brussels with bacon, which are not pictured here, but they were mouthwatering, delicious, and crispy. Never a disappointing trip to this restaurant. I will continue to visit. Thank you for providing great service and most of all the delicious food.

Grilled Asparagus with Lemon Mosto

The Capital Grille never disappoints. It's always a classy, dependable choice with an incredible ambiance and consistently knowledgeable, friendly service. We kicked things off with cocktails--my margarita was perfectly balanced, and my friend's Paloma was just as refreshing. They definitely don't skimp on the liquor... For starters, we tried the calamari and oysters--both were absolutely delicious and new to me. I'll definitely order them again! I had the ahi tuna for my entrée, and it was cooked to perfection--flavorful, tender, and beautifully presented. My friend ordered the filet, which was equally impressive. The sides deserve their own praise: creamy mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked asparagus rounded out the meal. I can't wait to return. The Capital Grille continues to set the standard.

All I can say is money well spent! The crunchy fried calamari and peppers was the perfect appetizer. Now the steaks !!! Omg ! They were cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic. Sides of mashed potatoes and creamy spinach casserole were perfect accompaniment for the steaks. The dessert of cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake ended our perfect dinner !

Parking is easy as there is an underground garage that connects directly to the restaurant via an elevator. They do validate a little but it's not completely covered. The inside of the restaurant is really special. You get an old time restaurant feel with some modern fixtures. The service was excellent throughout our dining experience. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. We stated with a bottle of wine and the calamari. There is a wide selection of wine. The calamari was excellent and the peppers really added a dimension to the appetizer. For entrees I ordered the New York strip with the au poivre and courvoisier sauce which was cooked to a medium rare perfection and exceptionally tender. I thought the au poivre and sauce were nice accompaniments to the steak. We shared some well cooked asparagus and the lobster Mac and cheese which had good chunks of lobster in it. For dessert we had the chocolate cake which was moist and chocolatey with a silky smooth ice cream to go with it. Highly recommend your next steakhouse adventure be at the Capital Grille.

We got there early so we didn't have to wait for a table, our waitress was Andrea, she was the best five stars just to her. Everything was so delicious. I would definitely recommend this location.

Wedge with Bleu Cheese and Smoked Bacon
Maydee M.

Celebrated an anniversary at The Capital Grille and the experience could not have been better. Service was fantastic, the manager checking in multiple times and the staff going out of their way to make it feel special. We were very grateful for the extra touches that made the night memorable. We went with the Miami Spice menu and kicked things off with their bread service, which is honestly one of my favorites anywhere. I had the wedge salad, and everything about it was spot on -- crisp lettuce, smoky bacon, and a dressing that was downright divine. For my entrée, I got the upcharge Kona Crusted Dry Aged NY Strip, and it absolutely hit the spot. The sides were classic! Dessert was the Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake, and while there's no photo proof (because it was devoured the second it hit the table), trust me when I say it was my absolute favorite bite of the evening. Rich and decadent Overall, The Capital Grille delivered a flawless anniversary dinner, excellent service, great ambiance, and food that reliable lives up to the occasion.

Glazed Bacon

Nice ambiance, good food, wonderful service. Our waiter was Giancarlo and he was wonderful. He made great knowledgeable recommendations. He described things perfectly which guided our decisions and our selections did not disappoint. Like Giancarlo we have tried Wagyu in Japan, as well as Kobe and other Japanese Wagyu and other American Wagyu, and some have been disappointing that I have not been interested in trying another American Wagyu. He described it as mix of Japanese and American Wagyu so at $95 I gave it a try and it was delicious. It is not over priced. It is slightly higher cost than the non Wagyu but it is worth it. The bacon was good. Not too sweet, not overly crispy. He described the type of lobster they cart bring South African and having the best texture and flavor and my husband said he was not disappointed he enjoyed his lobster tail. We enjoyed the asparagus. The only thing we did not enjoy was the Brussels sprouts. I typically love Brussels sprouts but these weren't crispy enough and the glaze was very sweet and thick. The flourless cake was surprisingly delicious. Better than cakes with flour that I've had. It wasn't crumbly, it was decadent. The cheesecake was also good. There were some other selections that sounded interesting so I would come back to try them. I think the service put them over the top to a 5 rating for us. Thank you Giancarlo.

This Capital Grille is in Brickell! To park, you would go in the garage and I believe valet is the only option in here with the easiest entrance. The valet has an elevator that leads right to the lobby/hostess stand of the restaurant. We were a bit early for our dinner reservation so we decided to walk around the area outside. When it was time, we were seated promptly. When I made the reservation, I let them know we were celebrating something & we were greeted with little confetti on the table and a nice greeting card. I didn't know we could be specific of what we were celebrating on the reservation but our server let me know we could so they could help us celebrate accordingly. The dinner was great! Our server was super attentive and helpful. When we were looking over the menu, we almost got carried away but he helped us slim down our order with half sizes of some of the shareable plates. So grateful he did that because we almost ordered a feast and, even with the half orders, we took a lot home! If there's ever anything I can recommend getting here, it would be the Kona-crusted dry aged bone-in NY Strip steak. It is sooooo good and a reason we will come back time and again. Although this place is a fine dining pricey spot, it recommend coming here for special occasions. They really know how to make you feel loved, even with the small things such as a greeting. They even surprised us with a complimentary dessert with the word, "congrats" on it in celebration. Overall, a five-star experience at this Capital Grille.

My husband and I came out for a date night and decided on Capital Grille. I'm so glad we did. I can't speak about the food without mentioning the truly amazing service we received from Andy and his team. Andy guided us towards the most amazing food choices. I'm so glad we trusted his judgment and tweaks to our orders. To start, we had the tuna tartare and the wedge salad. They split the wedge salad for us so we each had our own plate, and it was honestly so delicious. It had this thick-cut bacon that was cooked to perfection, and the blue cheese dressing was a dream. The tuna tartare had great balance with the mango sauce and sriracha, and it melted in your mouth. For mains, we were going to have the Kona crusted ribeye and the sliced filet, but we were both on the fence about it. I had my eye on the filet with the Gorgonzola crust and the red wine reduction, and then Andy raved about the porcini crusted ribeye. We ended up eating the above and truly enjoyed it. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the flavors were unmatched. At this point, we were convinced that Andy knows best and asked him about dessert. He mentioned his favorite was the crème brûlée, so we ordered just that. It truly has to be the best crème brûlée we've had. The brûlée layer was thin and toasted to perfection while the crème was thick and flavorful. Thank you for truly amazing service and delicious food.

Filet Mignon 10oz
Regina X.

Impeccable service and attention to detail. Love getting a bottle of red wine and enjoying their Ribeye or filet mignon. Go to appetizers: crab and lobster cake. Sides: lobster mac and cheese. Great spot to celebrate birthdays and special occasions. Servers go above and beyond. Really appreciate the staff and hospitality here!

Sliced Filet Mignon with Cipollini Onions, Wild Mushrooms and Fig Essence
Sergio F.

Six years later and Capital Grille is STILL 5 stars! I met up with a few foodie friends last weekend originally intending to take part in their Generous Pour wine tasting. However, we just ended up enjoying one bottle and trying the delicious plethora of classic steakhouse side dishes. First of all, make sure to enjoy their brown bread with the slightly sweet table butter. Our waiter was pretty attentive in keeping the bread basket and even extra butter refilled. He was also great on recommendations. As far as side dishes, my favorite were the prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella with tomatoes in a rich and sweet balsamic vinegar. All were a grand introduction to my main course, their sliced filet mignon with fig essence. Served in a bed of fresh greens with cippolinni onions (the little ones) and mushrooms, this juicy and tender cut of steak (even though it was a little on the medium side) was the reason you meet with friends at a classic steakhouse for! I enjoyed it with a smattering of their aromatic truffle fries, along with my wine. Dessert was a creme brulee with a lightly crispy crust just like i love! Make sure to save space for that.

Generous Pour!

This is my third time here but first time in a couple years. I think The Capital Grille is slept on, maybe because it's a chain, but the food and service here is always top tier! Don't let looks deceive you, TCG is tucked away by the Brickell Ave bridge and looks like it might be empty but as soon as you walk in you realize they are busy! Make sure to make an appointment and keep a lookout on specials. They typically participate in Miami Spice and have a great Generous Pour special if you're a wine lover! The ambiance takes me back to living in DC, where many restaurants have a similar vibe! They also have a private room of you need a space for a business meal or event! Highly recommended!

happy golden anniversary for sure//
Russ G.

Will there be a Christmas Eve menu this year? Any special pricing?

Dress code for weekday? d

They have a sign outside that basically says "thank you for not dressing like a slob" but I saw people in shorts and hats in there like they just came from the gym so, as long as you're not naked you should be ok

Do they have a happy hour? Details.

I can definitely see myself at Cafe Magie on Fridays this summer. Service is always so friendly here, and the space is so cozy it's perfect to get work done, and then once the clock strikes wine-o-clock you can enjoy wine while you work, too!

I ordered a charcuterie tray for the three of us; it's not premade. You pick the ingredients and then they are charged à la carte. For the one we enjoyed with Brie, prosciutto and jam. It came up to about $40. We enjoyed a bottle of chardonnay - nicely cool and crisp - while chatting and enjoying the game. I think they just have bottles, not wine by the glass. I'd certainly recommend Magie for a casual date night, or nightcap after dinner elsewhere. The patio with string lights and all does seem cute for a quiet evening.

We came in and immediately someone came over and was eager to walk us through the process and made a handful of recommendations especially when it came to the wine. The gentleman whose name I didn't get unfortunately, was extremely kind and helpful, the service here was amazing and we ended up loving the wine he recommended us. The food was also great we ordered the Caesar Fries, the Magie Plate which came with the bread, strawberry spread and some olives and pickles for the meats, we also got the Hot Dog and everything we had was really good.

Everything was great and I am now hooked on a wine thanks to the recommendation by the team here!

As others have stated, Magie is good in concept and we'll likely return here, but with just a bit…read moremore effort on their part this wine bar could be so much better IMO. Unlike some other reviewers that scoffed at the prices of the wine, that didn't bother me so much. We had a bottle here that cost $55 and it retails for about $28; I was OK with that, as all restaurants and wine bars have a markup above retail, and even when you go to spots like Happy Wine or El Carajo and pick out a bottle to drink while in their shop, they charge a corkage fee for that. What I did have a problem with is that, after the "service charge" and other fees were added on, our $55 bottle rang up to more than $73 in total, which was ludicrous. When we first arrived at Magie we were met by a young guy who pointed out the bottles and where the various charcuterie items are located in the coolers, and we were then pretty much left on our own. We really just wanted a glass of wine each, but unlike places like Vinoteca, here at Magie they had a very limited selection of wines by the glass, and the ones available all seemed to come in single-serve cans. We picked out a bottle to share, went to the register, paid and the guy opened it and handed us 2 glasses. When I returned to get napkins, the guy just motioned to where the napkins were so I could grab my own (after moving a delivery cart out of the way by myself so I could reach them). Again, though this place includes an automatic "service charge", we received zero actual "service" unless one considers the 45 seconds it takes to uncork our bottle and charge us for the purchase. We had a seat, had a glass of wine each and then re-corked our bottle of wine and took it with us. Overall I think Magie is a great concept with lots of potential. The inside seating area is interestingly decorated and outfitted with lots of eclectic furniture and items on the walls, and the relatively large patio seating out front with tables for 2 to 8 people is shielded from the adjacent street/traffic and shaded by lots of trees and greenery. The ambiance overall is really very nice. The service, however, was non-existent, especially considering the automatic charge for that, and while prices of at least some wines aren't terribly out of line, the fact that all the service charges, taxes and fees added $20 to the cost of our bottle was a bit of a shocker. Magie should consider adding more wines by the glass IMO. Not just subpar quality single-serve cans, but decent wines, poured from a proper bottle with a topper that preserves the wine between pours like most every quality wine bar commonly offers. Lastly, while I don't think anyone expects linen napkins and white glove service, the paper plates and plastic cutlery customers are given to eat with are a bit off vs. what this place appears to be trying to be and the prices charged. The "F*ck Brunch" positioning statement on the back of the staffs' shirts was an interesting touch.

If you are looking for the ultimate vineyard dining experience, do yourself a favor and book a…read moretable at Mellow Grapes immediately. From the second you pull up the driveway, you are greeted by rolling rows of vines and an atmosphere that instantly makes you drop your shoulders and relax. It completely lives up to its name--the vibe is effortlessly mellow, sophisticated, and incredibly welcoming. Here is why this place has officially become my absolute favorite spot: 1. The Wine & Food Pairings are Masterful The culinary team here clearly works hand-in-hand with the winemakers, because the pairings are flawless. We started with a crisp, beautifully balanced white blend paired with an artisanal charcuterie board featuring locally sourced cheeses and a phenomenal house-made fig jam. For the main course, the slow-braised short rib literally melted off the bone, and when paired with their estate estate Syrah, it was pure magic. Every bite was an absolute home run. 2. Breathtaking Atmosphere & Ambiance The design of the restaurant strikes the perfect balance between rustic vineyard charm and modern elegance. We sat out on the covered patio, which offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the vineyard. As the sun began to set, they lit the fire pits and turned on string lights, creating an incredibly romantic, warm glow across the entire space. It's the kind of environment where you just want to linger for hours over dessert and another bottle. 3. World-Class Hospitality What truly elevates Mellow Grapes is the service. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable without an ounce of pretentiousness. They walked us through the tasting notes of each wine, shared the history of the vineyard, and gave us brilliant recommendations based on our personal palates. The pace of the meal was perfect--we never felt rushed, yet we were perfectly looked after the entire evening. The Verdict Mellow Grapes is an absolute gem. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a perfect date night, or just want to treat yourself to an exquisite meal and fantastic wine, this place delivers on every front. The passion behind the food, the wine, and the hospitality is evident in every single detail. I'm already counting down the days until my next visit. Cheers to the team for creating such a spectacular experience!
