    Creamed Spinach, Sam's Mashed Potatoes, Soy Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
    Kyrell B.

    My husband and I came here for our 6 month wedding anniversary and Capital Grille did not disappoint! The ambiance, food and service were amazing. They decorated the table and provided us with a card when they realized we were celebrating. The food did NOT disappoint. We absolutely loved the creamed spinach and Brussels sprouts. The appetizer were delicious. Everything literally everything was mouth watering food and cooked to protection. I'm so mad that I cannot remember the name of our server. He was amazing as well!

    Outstanding service and delicious food. Our server was absolutely amazing with prompt service and going above and beyond to make our experience memorable. The steaks are delicious and the ambience of this restaurant is incredible

    We always have an exceptional experience when we dine here. It is our tradition to celebrate New Year's Eve here and we've been doing it for almost 15 years. Our server Pablo is absolutely exceptional always gives five star service and is just a joy to be around. We started with the classic lobster bisque (comes in a cup or bowl) and while it's not always on the menu, they always have it. You just have to ask the server. The soup is thick and creamy and it's always packed full of lobster. For entrées I opted for the dry aged New York strip with a side of the Courvoisier cream it is one of my absolute go to. the steak was cooked perfectly and the sauce is just absolutely delicious. My husband got the Porter house and it's a beautiful looking steak seasoned well cooked perfectly on the inside, and we got an order of the soy glazed brussels sprouts to share. Again, this is one of our go to sides as the flavoring is excellent, and they put nice big chunks of thick bacon in it as well. We don't typically get dessert, but because it was New Year's Eve, we were celebrating so we got their flourless chocolate cake which again is one of our go-tos. It's dense and tastes almost like fudge. It's so good. There is Valet parking that is available right outside, but if you don't want to pay the valet parking fees, you can go to the parking garage and park there and walk. I would give yourself plenty of time as it's about a 5 to 7 minute walk from the parking garage to the restaurant itself

    Amazing dining experience! Our servers Carrie and Natasha were amazing....they check back often to see how things were and if we needed anything. We had the wedge salad, field greens salad, Filet Mignon, Sliced filet mignon with mushrooms, cream spinach, mashed potatoes, and the delicious assortment of breads. Followed by the crème brûlée with an assortment of fruits and the cheesecake also with an assortment of fruits. The service and food were top notched. You will not be disappointed!

    Nice last day dinner with the guys. Great experience. Steaks and lamb chops were great.

    Sliced filet mignon
    Eileen J.

    Celebrated our anniversary at The Capital Grille last weekend and ordered from the Magical Dining Menu. I ordered the sliced filet mignon and my husband ordered the 10 oz filet. The sides of creamed spinach and mashed potatoes were included and they were delicious. The steaks were cooked and seasoned perfectly and the onions and mushrooms that came with my entree were so flavorful. The creme brulee I ordered for dessert tasted wonderful and was nice and creamy. They even brought our desserts out on a nice platter that read Happy Anniversary. Our server and assistant were attentive and checked on us regularly. The restaurant inside is a little dark, but not to the point where you can't read the menu without some light like other restaurants. If you plan on coming this month, the Magical Dining menu is definitely the way to go.

    Capital Grille is an amazing steakhouse! The filet mignon was like butter and the sides were all delightful. We had family style sides to share with the group that included asparagus, creamed spinach, au gratin potatoes, Brussels sprouts and lobster Mac and cheese. The wedge salad was huge and a few people could split it. The drinks were made well too. The service was attentive and the ambiance has a 1950s Frank Sinatra lounge feel, especially with the background music.

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

    My friends and I made reservations to have dinner here and take advantage of Magical Dining after the movies. We checked in at the host stand and saw party after party after party that came in after us get sat before we did. When we finally got sat, we were sat in a secluded room by the windows. It felt like we were being hidden away from the rest of the diners. We got greeted and we mentioned interest in participating in Magical Dining and that's where everything went downhill fast. Our server Darius was polite, but his entire demeanor changed. When we asked for recommendations he recommended everything that was an add on and had an additional charge... nothing that was already included. As a server myself, I know that tactic; push the expensive stuff to bump up the check. Servers rarely stopped by the table and food took forever to come out. Dinner took almost 3 hours, which is insane! Our food was placed in front of the wrong person as well as when we were being marked for the next course. We asked for split checks and I had things on my check that belonged to another person, my friend ended up giving me cash. Overall, the entire experience was a waste of time and money. I didn't have high expectations since it's a Darden restaurant, but they completely ruined our dining experience.

    Walked in around 6pm, the service from the start was amazing, very professional, very informative and friendly. We were seated immediately, once seated our servers Ray and Colin were both amazing. There was only one chicken option unfortunately, I wasn't too sure on it since I couldn't remove the mushrooms. I decided to just have a cesar salad and some of the Sam's mash potatoes. Both were very yummy, I was told the lamb chops were delicious as well. Not pictured* I had the mocktail mojito in passion fruit and that was ABSOLUTELY YUMMY!!! I was celebrating an anniversary and they brought over rose petals, confetti hearts along with their cheesecake & chocolate cake. So sweet and thoughtful!! The ambiance was a balance between many celebrations and dinner dates. A little loud but not excessive, I saw dress up and go to capital grille! I would definitely return, I would only suggest a few other chicken options.

    Great place to visit. If you are coming from outside of walking distance, parking is easy with valet service. The task to get it validated is a little involved for the first time but no so bad as some parking apps I have used before. It feels like an old-school steakhouse. Service matches expectations, and the food is amazing. The Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad with Crushed Pistachios and Citrus Vinaigrette - Roasted red beets with mixed greens, arugula, whipped goat cheese, arugula pesto, heirloom tomatoes, crushed pistachios and citrus vinaigrette to start was amazing but the beets and the goat cheese were oddly hidden below the greens to the point where you wondered if you got the correct salad served. The Au Gratin Potatoes - Hearty slices layered with a blend of cheeses - not to be missed, well, can be missed. Not enough flavor. The Soy-Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon - Brussels Sprouts with smoked bacon lardons, however, were like crack. Not that I have ever had the experience of crack, but you get the idea. The Pan-Seared Sea Bass with Miso Butter - Shiitake Mushrooms, Asparagus and Miso Butter, for my main course was great. Outside of the little dings here and there, the real problem for me was the price. As others have mentioned you are going to pay a lot for the meal here to the point where you are wondering if it is worth it.

I was immediately greeted by the hostess. I explained that it was my first time and she was kind enough to make some menu recommendations. Since it was early we were promptly seating. We took the stairs to our table upstairs. We were seated near a wall and the bar. I waiter promptly came over to greet us. I wanted to try a few things but the brunch menu was sort of limited. I opted for crispy Mac & cheese bites, french toast, and breakfast croissant sandwich. The mac & cheese bites were crispy but could have used a little more seasoning and a little more cheese filling. The French toast was 2 pieces of toast with maple syrup and fruit. I opted to leave the fruit off with the current health concerns with raw food. It would have been nice to have been offered a substitute but I wasn't so I paid $18 for 2 pieces of French toast. I feel like the French toast would have been a better choice if it was accompanied with choice of, chicken sausage or regular sausage and eggs. That would have made a more complete brunch. The French toast was ok but could have used a little more flavor (ie cinnamon, vanilla, etc). The syrup was a very good grade of maple syrup and tasted so good. I did add 2 eggs for $6. Lastly had the breakfast croissant sandwich with grits. The sandwich was good I did substitute the regular sausage for chicken sausage. The chicken sausage was delicious. I was very pleased with the grits they were so good. Overall, the portions are small especially for the price. The restaurant is in a prime location, right in the center of Disney Springs and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. I would like to return for lunch or dinner in the cooler months so I may dine on the second floor patio over looking Disney Springs.

    Lorelei is just the CUTEST European-inspired wine bar! Upon arrival, you feel as if you've been…read moretransported to a wine bar in France, and, in all honesty, what more can one want? It is located in the Mills 50 district next to Tori Tori (another local FAV). It is truly a nice little getaway spot from the usual hustle and bustle of the Mills 50 bar scene. They have seating indoors and outdoors. Their outdoor patio area is charming and adorned with umbrellas, and the fountain just adds a special touch, as well as masks the typical street sounds of passing cars and passersby. In the cooler months, the patio is just a vibe! The interior is just as charming with "French-inspired" influences, lovely lighting & decor that ties in the European escape this wine bar beautifully embodies. On my first visit, we tried to sit outdoors, but the Florida heat (& bees) had other plans for us. So, we transitioned inside and sat at their bar area. We were immediately greeted by the kindest servers who guided us on their menu selections. My friend and I, with similar wine tastes (we both love our wines DRY like DESERT), both opted for a glass of rosé and YUM! We followed it up with a white selection recommended by our server, and we enjoyed it immensely. Truly ten, ten, tens across the board! We did not eat (which, in all honesty, is okay with me). And based on reviews from various other Yelpers, the consensus SEEMS to be to eat prior to coming to Lorelei. So, I kept that in mind and on my second visit to Lorelei, I decided to just try MORE of their wine selection. On my most recent visit, we did try some light bites. Typically, on all my visits, I usually cap around two glasses of wine, and it's reasonable. They are not the cheapest spot, especially if you add food to your tab, but for the quality, it is worth it (to me as it relates to the wine selection), as I haven't really had a terrible glass of wine there. Maybe on my next visit, I'll try more of their food menu. Beyond that, Lorelei has been a great addition to the Mills 50 District! I am looking forward to how they will grow with the community!

    IT IS SO PRETTY. What a lovely, Mediterranean vibe with beautiful decor, a cute building, lovely…read moreglasses, and even the little coasters. I loved this experience and will happily come back to visit. We arrived the hour before closing on a Sunday, so the kitchen was closed. But we had a glass of a really nice Sangiovese and chatted with the servers. It's such a classy little spot with some truly amazing photo ops for the group. There were a couple girls taking pics outside when we arrived, so of course I told my parents they needed to do a pic as well. The food menu looked amazing and I will try some bites next time. The bottles of wine were more expensive than expected, but the glasses and beers were very reasonable.
