    Pan-Seared Sea Bass
    Henry H.

    We were in town and we wanted to celebrate some wins as a family and decided to come to Capital Grille after they told us over the phone that they had availability after speaking to someone for a spot at 7:15 pm. Although we came early at around 7 pm we didn't get seated until 7:45 pm. My 2 year old son was hungry and my wife went and ask the front desk ladies what's going on. Besides attempting to calm us, nothing resulted to action. We were starving, had we learn that appointments didn't matter we would have went somewhere else. At 7:45 PM, we were finally let in toward the edge of the restaurant and seated at an extension of the seating area from the original restaurant. Utensil's were missing and chairs weren't placed. The lady apologized and got us our chair momentarily. I was a little disappointed at the level of service so far. They made us wait all this time for a table that weren't ready at the edge of the restaurant in an extended area... This didn't signal to us that they wanted us there, does it to you? In terms of looks inside, the restaurant had a traditional feel for a fine dining restaurant. Things were aged but you can tell that they were made of quality including the wood that's being used for the chair. We ordered the Caesar's salad, Sea Bass, Shrimp Cocktail, a L shaped bone in Fillet, and a side of cream corn. In terms of taste, honestly, they were good and I can't say anything bad about them. However, this is probably my worst experience in a fine dining restaurant and unfortunately I question whether their service staff is trained if at all. Or am I missing in this picture? I mean seriously? No chairs setup at the table? No utensils? Am I in a fast food restaurant?

    Celebrated a birthday last night at this location and it was great. The service is always professional and courteous and the food is consistently great. Oscar is an amazing bartender. Very classy. The calamari is a must. Had the filet with porcini rub, strip au poivre and au gratin potatoes. Outstanding

    We celebrated our anniversary at Capital Grille and it was absolutely wonderful! Shoutout to our amazing server Lori who was attentive, warm, and knowledgeable. We ordered lobster bisque, filet mignon, and truffle fries. All of which were delicious. We also enjoyed some Riesling and appreciated it was perfectly balanced. The restaurant also did a wonderful job with thoughtful touches for our anniversary including a card, hearts on the table, a picture, champagne, and dessert. We dined earlier and appreciated the calm and romantic ambiance. We will definitely be returning in the future!

    Dessert was great

    The only thing I don't like about this place is that it's all the way in Arizona. If I could get a Seattle location that would be perfect! Last summer we visited this place twice while taking my parents to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale for treatment. The interior is so beautifully decorated, spacious, and with intimate romantic lighting. Both times we dined, the service was absolutely outstanding. The manager came and chatted with us both nights and our servers and assistant servers were top notch. The steaks were cooked perfectly and everything else we enjoyed phenomenal. Just this week, my parents are back at the Mayo Clinic for unfortunately a very lengthy stay. Their anniversary was during this stay, so I got them reservations at this location and called to order a bottle of champagne for them. The ordering experience was so professional and seamless I couldn't have been happier. They listened to what I wanted, didn't try to sell me the priciest bottle, and made sure the message was exactly as i asked. My parents had the absolute best anniversary night! The restaurant had decorated the table with rose petals, brought out a dessert with a candle, and everyone they interacted with wished them a happy anniversary. I'm so pleased that with everything they are going through with their health, that this restaurant let them have one perfectly stress free night of bliss.

    I haven't been to this location twice and to the location on camelback quite a few times. The service at both locations is always stellar. Even as a young guy, I like the older class and feel with the waiting staff wearing the gold jackets. Our waiter for the night was Eric and he was amazing the entire night: very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The drinks are always delicious and as for the food we have a variety including the oysters, calamari, sea bass and scallops. We have tried the steak many times prior and it is always cooked correctly. It's nice when you get to walk into a restaurant where people still dress up a little bit and I appreciate the upscale classy feel of all locations. Overall, no complaints and will continue to come back as long as standards are kept up!

    Love the warm yet sophisticated vibe every time I walk into The Capital Grille. Skipped their famous steak today because we came for the burger and wine pairing Happy Hour menu -- I ordered the Wagyu Mushroom & Swiss Burger, and it is absolutely delicious! The Cheesesteak is a bit fluffy, unlike the dense New York style, but was good coupling with fresh berries. Service was good.

    Omg! My sister took out to Capital Grille for my birthday dinner. The manager Jon was so amazing he made sure it was the most memorable night to celebrate my birthday to decorations on the table when I was seated to checking back later to make sure everything went well. Denise was the best server and very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. I will be back to see Denise and Jon I had the best experience at The Capital Grill for my birthday!!!!! Thank you both again the food and Ambiance was amazing too!!!

    Capital Grill is far less pretentious than other favorites! I'm sold on this. In fact it holds true for my wife's birthday Friday evening!

    My first time visiting this location in Scottsdale which was convenient since I was staying down the street at the Westin Kierland villas. The restaurant is located on the corner of the Promenade shopping center so there's plenty of parking and even EV charging located 10 minutes away by foot. The ambiance is pretty typical of other Capital Grille's, but this location has the grandest interior of any other Capital Grille location I've visited. My friendly waitress was professional and well versed on their entree options. We started off with a order of calamari and a basket of complimentary hot, yummy bread. The calamari were yummy since they included the tenacles which are my favorite. Pre main course was the wedge salad and a cup of chowder. The main course we opted for the aged bone-In NY Strip 18 oz, sea bass with shiitake Mushrooms, asparagus & butter sauce, Sam's mashed potatoes and cream spinach. Lastly for dessert we chose the flourless chocolate espresso cake and Capital Grille cheesecake. Every entree was cooked to perfection and the taste were above my expectations. Overall, the dining experience was memorable, impressive and would definitely recommend this Capitol Grille location.

    Great food and great service. They are also really good with allergies. Don't love the ambiance with dead animals on the wall but overall very fancy restaurant otherwise.

    It was a beautiful day to sit on the patio for Thanksgiving despite the fact that they don't have enough umbrellas , and we were given a bit of an attitude, by the hostess for asking to change tables to get some shade. Other than that, the Service from Chris was impeccable and the food was to die for.. and the French onion soup was fantastic, but I would've liked the cheese to be a little bit more browned and bubbly . The brioche stuffing was scrumptious and so was the turkey so juicy and tender and a very generous portion. The bussers were equally delightful and the service exceptionally attentive.

    Smoked bacon with Korean BBQ glaze, pickled shallots
    Darci Y.

    So we came for restaurant week... we had made a reservation. First of all, there's very little self parking. So either plan to valet (complimentary) or drive around for a bit and walk a little farther. We got in, checked in and waited for about 5 min for our table. We got sat and promptly were given water. We then ordered some drinks and took a look at the menu. Our server Julien was super nice and knowledgeable. We ordered the Korean bacon, wedge salad, fresh spring salad, clam chowder, a special of veal steak, 8oz filet, 10 oz filet with mushrooms and cipollini onion, bone-in NY strip steak, lobster mac and cheese, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, flour less chocolate cake and the cheesecake brulee. The Double cut smoked bacon with Korean BBQ glaze was good... the glaze was ok but from a Korean perspective, it wasn't amazing. The pickled shallots had an ofd flavor to them. The fields green salad wasn't anything special. The clam chowder was good but not outstanding The wedge with bleu cheese and smoked bacon was probably the best appetizer. The 8oz filet was nicely cooked and had a great seasoning/sear. The 10oz sliced filet with mushrooms and cipollini mushrooms was cooked well hut lacked flavor. The mushrooms and onions added some flavor and that did help. The veal steak was ordered medium rare but was cooked more medium well. (Slight pink). It had good flavor but was definitely overcooked and thus, a bit dry. The NY strip steak with shallots butter was the star of the entrees. Perfectly seasoned snd cooked! The sauce complimented the dish nicely and added an extra level of flavor that was amazing. We all wished we could have added a side of the sauce. The creamed spinach was ok but lacked seasoning The mashed potatoes weren't anything special The lobster mac snd cheese was quite delicious. It had a good amount of lobster. The flourless chocolate espresso cake was very good but very rich. I loved the Capitol grille cheesecake. It had a brulee-like topping. It was delicious. I also ordered the Capital Grille Signature Martini but asked for it a bit sweeter than normal. The bar tender added some simple syrup and a sugar top to the glass. I do wish the sugar coating on the glass was on the outside, but it was on the inside making it hard to reach. The ambiance was quite nice. We could talk to each other without yelling or straining to hear. The lighting was also good. We didn't need additional light to see our menus. Overall, I would go back. If you ever do visit, ask for Julien. He was excellent! We never needed to ask for water or refills on soda.

    Ask the Community - The Capital Grille

    Do they allow shorts?

    Yes but they have to be "dressy" shorts, no denim, no cutoffs etc etc

    When do they switch over from lunch to dinner menu?

    11am-4pm is lunch. 4pm-9pm is dinner

    Do they allow nice jeans?

    A nice pair of jeans is acceptable. Not the torn up type. A collared shirt too, no tank tops. A t-shirt is probably frowned upon but if it is covered by a nice pullover sweater, that's ok.

    Do you have a private room for about 15 guests?

    I don't know

    I love this restaurant and bar within the Scottsdale Whole Foods. The deal on Thursday is a…read moreburger, fries and beer or wine for $12. Yes...that's right...$12. So I got a Beyond Burger (which is normally $13 alone), fries and a beer. Delicious and a great deal! Only Thursday's at the bar. The Beyond burger was cooked perfectly, served with pickled onion, fresh tomato, lettuce, vegan cheese, and vegan sriracha aioli. Yummy. The fries were fresh and crispy. We also ordered the cauliflower nachos. They were good but had very little sauce on them. We asked for more sauce and the server happily returned with a side of sauce. Excellent service at the register when ordering and excellent service throughout the meal. They have other specials on other nights as well as happy hour deals. This is hands down the best restaurant all around in the area. I did not feel like I was dining in a supermarket. That ambiance was great. I will be back, basically every Thursday for the rest of my life! And then some!

    Great place to grab an array of various cultural foods and a surprising number of on tap beers and…read moresit and chill in a casual atmosphere. The bartenders are very helpful in selections. Definetely check out the southeast corner of the store and hang for a few the next time you visit.
