    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

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

    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 [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance has a 1950s Frank Sinatra lounge feel, especially with the background music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you plan on coming this month, the Magical Dining menu is definitely the way to go.

    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.

    We came here for my husband's birthday. The food was great. Our server was awesome and very attentive. They had a birthday card on the table for him and confetti. It was super cute. For dessert they brought out his cheesecake with happy birthday on the plate. The variety of bread was my personal favorite! Mmmmm....

I opted for the sweet wine because I like more flavor. I tried 8 different wines. They were all good! The bartenders were friendly and knew their wines. They were good at explaining the different flavors and selections. The bar area for wine tasting is first come, first serve, so it was crowded by the time I got there. I suggest getting there early if you want to grab a good spot. They do tastings all day every day so going during the week might be a better option if you want to avoid crowds. I went on a Friday and even though it was crowded, the vibe was nice. This is a great place to chill for a couple of hours and its not expensive. You honestly cant go wrong!!

The wait staff was very attentive and friendly, there is an attempt to sell you on their wine club, which is a great deal if you're a wine drinker and live near enough that you can take advantage of it every month. However there was no high pressure sales pitch so don't let that put you off. The food came out fast and, with one exception, fresh. My burger tasted amazing, although the bun was very stale to the point where I just pulled the burger apart and ate it without the bun. The carbonara is more an Alfredo than a carbonara but was still very tasty. All in all, a solid place to stop in at and we'll probably try it again someday.

From the moment we walked in, I was impressed by the design and ambiance of the restaurant. It is absolutely beautiful, elegant, inviting, and incredibly pleasing to the eye. The entire space felt upscale and luxurious. Our server was welcoming, professional, and very attentive. He took the time to explain menu items and provided detailed service throughout our meal. As much as we enjoyed the atmosphere and service, we expected a bit more from the food. The drinks were just average, and the calamari appetizer lacked the crispiness we were hoping for. We also ordered our steaks medium, but they arrived closer to medium-well. While I enjoy that the steaks has some fat for flavor, it was way to much. We didn't make an issue of it because the steaks were still flavorful, and we were genuinely enjoying ourselves. Now let me tell you about the star of the evening, the Blue Crab Fingers! Whoever decided to put these on the menu deserves an award. They were packed with flavor, and the toasted bread was the perfect accompaniment. Dipped into that delicious sauce, every bite was absolutely incredible. For dessert, we had the crème brûlée. It was just okay. Overall, we had a wonderful birthday dinner and enjoyed our experience. While there were a few misses with some of the food, those Blue Crab Fingers alone are enough to bring us back again!

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!
