Cap City Fine Diner and Bar

Delicious! I have not dined here in a few years. I've done Grubhub, but not dined inside. I need to start coming here more. The food and the service was spot on. My coworker and I decided to split the Black and Blue salmon salad and the Triple Grilled cheese sandwich. We fell in love with the sandwich. We acted like we hadn't eaten anything in years. Simple but oh so good. The restaurant did something that really stood out and impressed us. They actually portioned out the meals into separate plates since we were going to split it. Most restaurants make you do that. It really meant a lot that they made it so easy for us to share. We will definitely be back.

Stopped in for a work dinner on a Monday night. Easy parking lot which is a plus in Grandview! Cozy, diner vibes for sure - better for the winter than if you are looking for a summer patio. Service was friendly and prompt throughout! We ordered the chips and pretzel off the appetizer menu - both were fantastic and I would highly recommend! I got the shrimp pasta (made not spicy)- very good and a HUGE portion! Others in the group enjoyed the kabobs, chicken and pasta and fish and chips. Everyone had great things to say!

I recently had a fantastic breakfast at Cap City, and I was thoroughly impressed! The Triple Decker Grilled Cheese is an absolute must-try--deliciously cheesy and perfectly toasted. Our server was polite and attentive, ensuring our drinks were always full and checking in regularly without being overbearing. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. I highly recommend making a reservation, as the restaurant can get busy, especially during peak hours. Overall, a great experience, and if I lived in the area, I would definitely return!

So, my first impression of Cap City Fine Diner and Bar is that it looks like a 1950's swanky diner. The dress code is casual. I love a good, Ole fashioned diner! During this visit, I ordered the triple-decker grilled cheese. I was very excited to try this grilled cheese sandwich. 4 cheese blends, oven roasted tomatoes, and bacon on texas toast. It was delish! I got 2 eggs over medium on it. Those fresh, complimentary rolls are so buttery, soft, and delicious! We also got the Philly cheesesteak with buttermilk, chive mashed potatoes, and a side of the Chipotle mashed potatoes. All very yummy! I wish that I could remember our servers name. He was excellent! I would definitely go back for some comfort food!

Very good decor, patio seating is Beautiful bread and chips come out almost a minute after seating. Waiters were very kind very calm even we had 10 people they handled it wonderfully. You have a beautiful view in patio seating. Perfect temperature. Food came out while writing review.

Tastes like leftovers, but not in a good way. Cold in the middle, absolutely not fresh food. Brought it to the attention of the server and she whisked it away to get another. The next plate was insanely hot; the plate, not the food. Although it was warmer it was not hot or fresh tasting. Left hungry, and disappointed. First time, and last time, at Cap City not so fine diner. Service was very good though,

I was shocked when my nephew who has lived in town for a couple years reached out and suggested that hubby and I meet him and his GF for dinner. I figured there was an ulterior motive as he's too young to take money from a trust and I'm the trustee. Regardless, I wanted to encourage this new relationship as I otherwise would only see him at family functions.He lives over UA and we are eastside near Easton. We like to eat early and I had a feeling that they would want later - given their job schedules. We landed on a Wednesday to meet up and I offered to go to their side of town - hoping for an earlier start time. I looked for restaurants and read a list off to hubby - but none of them were of interest to him. So I looked to nephew to decide. He suggested Cap City on Olentangy and I said fine.I had not been to this location in at least one - more likely two - decades. We had been to the Gahanna Cap City as it's very close to us. Nephew offered to make a reservation which was a nice thing to do. I like that reservations were possible as I really hate to wait to be seated - not that it was likely on a Wednesday night at 6:30.We were seated right away after finding parking in a somewhat confusing parking lot - it seems to share space with a long-term hotel. Anyways, the waitress greeted us right away which is a good thing. We've been ignored all too often. We ordered water as I didn't want a diet cola and caffeine so "late." Understand, I go to bed at 8:30 PM and get up bright and early. Nephew and GF got there pretty soon and their drink orders were taken. We took a minute to look over the menu - which I had already done online.Normally, I get a salad entree. However, I've recently pivoted to soup if I don't want a full meal. The steak and bean chili looked good - so I ordered it. Hubby was shocked as he hadn't encountered this new me. He got a spicy chicken sandwich. And I honestly forget what the other 2 got.It seemed pretty quick that our orders came out - but we had been talking and were in no hurry. We all dug in. My chili had a lot of steak and beans - nice and thick. However, it was only luke warm, but I didn't want to complain. It was fine for me to eat. I'm a slow eater and I didn't want to have people wait while it was heated - or wait even longer after they were done. As I turns out - they still had to wait on me to finish my chili as they ate their complete meals before I was done. And I wasn't a big talker - that didn't slow me down. I guess I just eat slow.Hubby enjoyed his meal but said it could have been spicier. The GF took home some of her leftovers so it was clearly good. And nephew ate every bit of his food.This was an excellent choice for our gathering. I was shocked when we had paid our checks and were walking out the door at 7:15 - which made me incredibly happy. I also think my hubby has a much better opinion of Cap City now. When I had suggested it - he had said NO - that it wasn't that good. But I think we just might eat at the Gahanna location again.

This place has a fantastic energy!The best way I could describe this place is comfort food with a new school twist. The food man managed to accomplish the impossible and that it is both inoffensive and also somehow fun?The service is incredible, you will feel like you are a regular, even if you're a tourist like me.They always seem to have really solid beers on top as well, most of them from Ohio.This place is so good. It's a great reason to stay at the Aloft if you're in town for work or pleasure!

Great food, great crowd, and great price! The liver and onions with some dirty rice. My Dads favorite. Enjoy.

Had a great birthday dinner and complimentary dessert which we ordered the chocolate cake, we split it between six people that's how big it was lol. It's very rich and delicious. The only thing was that our server right away told us when she seated us that I would get a free birthday dessert which I knew this because we've been here before. But at the end, we got billed for it still and she went to fix it and we still got billed so then we had to have her fix it again and took her forever to take it off of there it was obviously a computer glitch I'm guessing. But I do understand it was busy though peak dinner rush and all. I think we waited for almost 30-40 minutes for this issue to get resolved and my family members had places they had to go. Definitely going back soon though as we have been going here for about the past five years or so.
