    Lunch for 2
    Matt W.

    Delicious lunch!! Service was spectacular and entrees reasonably priced and I left full! I had the chowder and strip steak. Medium rare is more on rare side but was excellent, fries stole the show! Crispy and delicious...I also got a cup of fabulous chowdah!! Can't beat all that food for $28. H had the bisque (loved it) and salad - it looked so good she took a pic first, and had enough to take home. And, did I say service was spectacular- it was!

    Pan-Fried Calamari with Hot Cherry Peppers. so so good

    food at this location is excellent and our waiter was awesome too. i've been here a couple times now and my favorite dishes are as follows 1. filet mignon with porcini rub.it was so tender and the seasoning was perfect 2. cream corn with bacon was an all time favorite among my party. 3. au gratin: creamy and perfect 4. lobster mac and cheese so so good 5. mashed potatoes creamy deliciousness 5. calamari so perfect 6. all the desserts are yummy basically all the sides are amazing my main complaint is how little parking there is and the valet parking blocks off a gazillion spots. i also felt it took a really long time for food to come out but they seemed slammed for a thursday night.

    This is our favorite place when going out to celebrate special occasions. The moody vibes of the dining room, the impeccable service and Our food is always cooked to perfection.

    We had the best time at Capital Grille in Schaumburg for my Fiancé's birthday. The staff was amazing! Micheal at the bar was so fun to chat with while waiting for our table. Nicole was our server and she really brought to menu to life and was so accommodating. We can't wait to come back soon. Every dish was to die for. The cutely decorated the table for the birthday theme. They brought out complimentary champagne with dessert. Loved every moment! We will definitely be back to see Michael and Nicole again asap!!! (Also sorry Nicole! I do not know Scott and Amy my Dad says we are not related LOL).

    Busy on Valentine's Day, but to be expected. Slower service but food was good. Would try and come back on a less busy day and hopefully be seated in the main area.

    This place took care of us! We came here for a team meeting dinner. They got us a private room with a big round table - so we were able to see each other. PERFECT! SERVICE: Fabulous service from the bar where we waited to be seated, and then from the restaurant servers....very friendly, informational and attentive! FOOD: YUM. We all enjoyed our 11 dinners and drinks. (Sorry, did not take enough pictures) but, trust me, they all looked great and tasted great! If I have another team meeting we will definitely be using Capital Grille again. Thank You!

    We have capital Grille back East, but they can't shake a stick at this place. The food was better. The decor was better. The service was better. The fried calamari with hot peppers Lobster mac & cheese Grilled glazed salmon I was at first disappointed when my cohort chose this place because I was thinking oh I can get this back home. But you can't. Not like this.

    A friend selected this restaurant to meet up for dinner while traveling in IL. I'm so glad that she did! The service, ambiance, and food were superb! Not pictured were oysters that others loved, but not my thing. I prefer them charbroiled (New Orleans). However, the server recommended them and everyone that eats raw oysters loved them. He also recommended the African lobster and steak and it was delicious. The lobster was more tender than usual and the flavor was sweet. The steak wasn't the best that I've had, but good (I'd order it again). We ordered a selection of desserts to share and they were all pretty good. Though some of us didn't really care for cheesecake, this one surprised us. We loved the brûlée top and the ricotta and cream cheese filling made it really fluffy and delightful to eat. Absolutely no complaints from our table at all! A little pricey, but an overall fantastic experience!

    My husband and I centered our for a date night last Friday. Everything was wonderful. The tables were all full and the dining room had a nice buzz to it. Our waiter was attentive and gave us all of the information we needed to order. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and we were so full we couldn't finish the mashed potatoes we ordered. We each also got cocktails that were tasty and not overly alcohol or sweet tasting. A good mix.

    Great location for a private event! Our party reserved the back room for a surprise 70th. The staff was very attentive to all of our needs. Food was outstanding as well! I enjoyed the caramelized onion bread that came in the bread basket! Oysters were smooth and flavorful. For entrees, we had the tuna and veal. Both were delicious. Beware of truffle fries because they are addictive!!

    I have been a fan of Capitol Grill for many many years & yes, it is a chain. There are many locations with slightly different menus, some are way better than others. However, each location offers nationally renowned dry-aged steaks, fresh quality seafood & acclaimed world-class wines. Moi used to work in the Chrysler building so i'm a big fan of two of the NYC locations. The Chrysler Building, home to The Capital Grille, in its ultra deco design, gleaming, seven-story glass & steel pyramid is unlike anything in the big Apple & one of the most unique dining settings anywhere. Fabulous OuiOui. The wall-street location is also completely fabulous. A somewhat hidden treasure in the historic Equitable Building, what was once a mighty bank vault is now the highly coveted Calloway Room. The perfect space for a very special celebration. Moi all time fave celebratory Restaurants. This location in Chicago is very pretty & has great service. Not quite as good as moi fave NYC locations but it's definitely worth a visit. We had steak & lobsters as usual. This location was offering African Lobsters, a la carte, so we decided to try them, side by side, with the Maine Lobsters. The Maine Lobsters were full lobster's WITH CLAWS that came on "The Grand Plateau seafood tower" We ordered both. The Grand Plateau was the clear Winner as the Maine Lobsters were way better in flavor compared to the African Lobsters. Moi prefers the claw meat also. Maine Lobster is just better all around. The steak dusted in the porchini mushroom was very good. Mashed Potatoes were sublime. The best we have ever had. The salads were also good. We tried all 3 & the clear winner was the beet salad. We don't know what happened to the side of spinach it was horrific. No one ate it. We also ordered the creme brûlée & flourless dark chocolate cake. Both were excellent. Sorry I did not get to take photos of the dessert as my phone charge was dead by then. However, the creme brûlée was sublime & the clear winner of the two. An excellent time was had by all. A excellent celebratory restaurant indeed. Adding to my list of Fave Steakhouses. Highly Recommend.

    This is unexpectedly a great steakhouse! I was skeptical of going here as it's a National Chain, so I initially I had my bias'. ... Bread basket, nice start to the meal. The cheese & onion bread was my fave, followed by the bread roll. Steak (NY Strip boneless) was great, charred on the outside and flavorful, topped with crusted bleu cheese. Lobster Mac n Cheese - quite possibly the star of the show! I'm usually not big on this type of dish, though, other reviews encouraged me to try it. One word - Phenomenal! Note: When ordering I did ask for extra cook time to ensure of a crusted top.. #ChefsKiss Hubby had - 18oz bone in NY Strip (Parmesan crusted) with Au Gratin potatoes, it looked amazing and he loved every bit of both. Service - our waitress was nice and attentive. She wasn't very personable but she was a great at service. Overall we left stuffed with plenty of leftovers, we'll return......

    Came here for dinner twice in one week and I don't have enough good things to say!…read more Food: We had the Caesar salad, Four cheese ravioli and rigatoni vodka. First off the portion size are very generous- one entree is large enough for 2 people for hard and in this day and age I truly commend the restaurant for doing this, it was noticed and def appreciated. The Caesar salad is truly such a classic salad, the oil dressing and grated cheese on top is perfectly balanced, it felt refreshing yet very savory as well. The rigatoni pasta was so so yummy. The orange sauce was very hearty. Last but not least the 4 cheese ravioli was W-O-W. I mean the consistency of the sauce just blew me away, and the pistachio pesto?! Genius. It was soo good I had to not lick the sauce off the plate (might still do for take out nights). Cant wait to come back and try more dishes! Service- Both times we made revelations on open table. We were seated very quickly. The waiters were very polite, gave great suggestions. Extra point for when we told them we were sharing, they made sure the dish was split onto two plates. Again, the effort and attention was really noticed and very admirable. Ambiance- It may be a chain but this place has such a classic Italian feel. From the decor the colors and even choices on the menu, very well thought out. The place is renovated and very clean and over ambiance is romantic. It def has more of an adult restaurant feel, as it's quite classy. Don't wait noisy kids to ruin the vibes. Great place for date night, girls night out, anniversary party etc. You guys blew me away. Can't wait to come back!

Despite having a reservation confirmed three weeks in advance and receiving a confirmation call that same morning, our party was not seated until 4:30 PM for a 4:00 PM booking. My husband and I checked in with the host starting at 3:55 PM, only to receive vague, dismissive responses like 'we're working on it.' Worse, the host displayed an unprofessional attitude, stating 'I have already told you in a few minutes' and was seen talking to other hosts about how upset our group was. When I finally spoke with a manager, Don M., his response was unsettling. Rather than apologizing for the 30-minute delay, he simply told me 'I am not kicking you out,' which felt incredibly unprofessional and dismissive for a milestone celebration. After we were seated, Don M. never returned to check on us or acknowledge the delay. Fortunately, Assistant Manager Luis Martinez and our servers, Marco and Georgina, completely saved the day. Luis came to our table to check on us personally, and Marco and Georgina were excellent, accommodating our large group's orders perfectly. If it weren't for their professional care, I would not return to this location." I truly hope that you consider looking into this matter as I have seen and witnessed how rude and unprofessional the host was yesterday not only to our party but to other guests checking in. It was a busy day for graduation parties and I just hope that they were all treated right. " Our Purpose is to bring people together to celebrate the love of family and friends", which is the main goal of this restaurant which I truly hope that you stand by with".

Our server came over to introduce himself and take our drink orders. I decided on a dirty martini. :) We were seated at a booth. The manager and the server turned the table outwards so we could just walk, rather than slide, in. Then they pushed it back to us, making sure the positioning was good for us. So far, the service seemed outstanding. We both wanted side salads with our meals, but Morton's doesn't offer one. So, we ordered their chopped salad and asked them to bring it out in two plates. It was really good - the salad vegetables were very fresh and the vinaigrette was amazing. For our meals, I ordered their aged rib eye, and my partner ordered the filet. We got an order of asparagus with it. The empty restaurant was starting to fill up, but there were still a lot of tables open at 7 PM. I don't have aged beef often at all. It's been a lot of years since I had any. The steak was amazing, the asparagus was also very good. We were there for our anniversary, but we decided to skip desert. There was too much food to have any more. The service, however, went downhill from the beginning. Once the manager backed off, our waiter was not as attentive. For a $$$$ restaurant, I expect top notch service, as I'm sure you do. So, I do rate Morton's five stars for their food, but only three stars for service. So, net four stars.
