This was such an amazing memory that we made. We sat outside in an igloo. The food was wonderful despite it being a slow Sunday night. But our waitstaff was greatest dynamic of the evening.

We had a lonely dinner with friends. 1. Excellent service by Antonio. Knowledgeable about the menu, perfectly attentive 2. Food! Absolute joy from lobster bisque, beet salad, ribeye to the mashed potatoes. 3. Ambiance, very polished and satisfying 4. They validate parking in their building I'd recommend go easy on the sides, they are large. Also, lobster Mac and cheese!! Must try.

A wonderful restaurant in the middle of downtown seattle. Service is wonderful from start to finish. We ordered the porcini rubbed rib eye, truffle Parmesan fries and the brussel sprouts. Overall, it was nice and I will probably visit again some time in the future.

Food, service, ambiance, they're all top-notched! If you're in search of a restaurant that knows how to make excellent French Onion Soup, this one will stand out. I personally rate it as one of the best I've had! The bread basket itself was quite impressive. Honestly, I would be happy just eating the bread, but everything else that we ordered was extraordinary as well! Our server, Delos Germaine, was extremely attentive and took excellent care of us!

Overall a great upscale place for a nice night out. The server was very attentive and the meal was well paced. Overall, the food was good with lots of options. The only complaint is the amount of sauce on the steak that overpowered it. Will be back to try some other items on the menu.

From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable--attentive, friendly, and professional without being overbearing. The highlight of our meal was the bone-in dry aged New York strip, cooked perfectly to a medium rare. It was seasoned just right, allowing the natural flavors of the meat to shine. One unique and thoughtful touch was their drink menu, presented on a tablet. It wasn't just a list of beverages; it included pictures, detailed tasting notes, ingredients, and even calorie information. I wish more places would adopt this. To start, we were treated to a variety of breads and some crackers in the basket with a plate of butter. Each one was great, but the onion bread was a clear standout with its soft texture with delicious onion pieces embedded in it. It was a flawless dining experience and we'll be back for a nice night out.

Oh my gosh, what an amazing experience. Our waiter made our night that much better and I cannot wait to come back in the near future whenever we are in town. First off, we were greeted at the hostess station where we were quickly taken to our seat. Our waiter introduced himself and took amazing care of us throughout the course of dinner. We ordered the crab and lobster cake and I must say it was delicious. The amount of crab and lobster in there is fantastic. It's absolutely the best crab and lobster cake I've ever had. Our main entree consisted of two different cooked NY steaks. They were decent and the sides were terrific. We came here to celebrated my birthday and the restaurant does not disappoint. They bought out two glasses of champagne and some desserts for us to enjoy. Overall, it was such an amazing experience.

We had the wine sampler for their wine week and they were very generous with pours. I also had the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly. I loved coming here because the ambiance was nice and service polite and attentive. We shared two sides and had entrees and we had leftovers, portions are decent. It's definitely a treat to try and recommend if you are looking to have a nice evening with delicious food.

This is one of my favorite spots to celebrate a special occasion. The service is top notch and the food is delicious! I primarily dine at Capital Grille for lunch. While the lobster mac 'n cheese is not on the lunch menu, you will want to order it as a side or appetizer. My go to dish is the seared salmon from the Plates lunch with clam chowder. For $32, that is a steal! The seared salmon is always on point - crispy on the outside and tender inside. Be sure to sub truffle fries if you get the opportunity. This is one of the few places in Seattle that will still include a complimentary dessert and a glass of champagne for celebratory occasions. The customer service cannot be beat - thanks Ruben and Miguel!
