The Capital Grille

From the moment we arrived until we left the service was friendly, inviting and top notch. Travis and Gustavo managed our table and delivered fantastic service all night. The restaurant is large but offers some side rooms for a quieter and more intimate atmosphere. I've been fortunate enough to visit other locations and this restaurant has the stamp of local Oklahomans. I appreciate the effort to personalize a restaurant to its location and culture. The food was delicious. I'd seen multiple positive reviews on the calamari and they are all correct. Our friends who aren't fans of spicy foods were worried about the peppers but rest assured that they only add flavor and not heat. The bread basket is the most unique you'll receive in OKC with an interesting and tasty variety of breads. We started the meal with French Onion soup, Clam Chowder and Caesar salads. I had the chowder and while it was good it's not something I'd order again. We were recently on the east coast and comparing chowders is probably not fair. Two of us had the steak special of the day and I can't remember the name. Honestly you can't really go wrong with any steak you choose. The sliced filet mignon was another popular choice for our table. Sides are served family style and we chose the mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. Both were delicious and great picks for the table. Although we had no room for dessert I'm sure you couldn't go wrong with anything offered. This is an expensive restaurant. Including tip it was $300 for two of us. One mistake that I made was in having a drink. It was a simple whiskey and soda, and definitely a cheap brand (I selected it from the options) when my preferred brand wasn't available. I was stunned to see a charge for $23 dollars. At two other OKC restaurants I've paid $9 and $14 for much, much better whiskey. For $23 I could buy an entire bottle (literally) of the whiskey I was served. I don't mind paying for high quality food but be careful about what you order from the bar. This is a welcome addition to OKC and a nice "splurge" restaurant but there are plenty of fantastic options in our city.

I had been to the Nashville location years ago and loved it so I was excited to try the new Okc location. The ambiance and service were lovely and the wine list was good.The food was okay. My Husband loved his bone-in strip and potatoes au gratin, but he felt like the wedge he started with could have done with a little less dressing. My scallops were over cooked, not terribly, but a little. I had roasted mushrooms also and they were delicious. I started with the lobster bisque, and can't say I was a fan. It was too thick, more like a pudding than a soup. We had the crème brûlée for dessert. This one was good, but not great. The top was a little too done so there was a bit of a burnt flavor. The berries on top were nice.I would come here again if asked, but if I were choosing a dinner in this price point I would prefer Red Prime or Stock and Bond.

Went to The Capital Grille tonight, and it was a mixed experience. The ambiance wasn't anything special--the color scheme felt off, and it lacked the warm, upscale feel I'd expect for the price.The food had some hits, but overall, it was inconsistent. The Tuna Tartare was solid, and the Brussels Sprouts were a standout. But the Truffle Fries were soggy, the Lobster Mac & Cheese was bland, and the Bone-In Ribeye, while cooked perfectly, had no seasoning. The Scallops had great flavor but could have used a better sear to really shine.The service was the highlight of the night. Our waiter was fantastic--knowledgeable, attentive, and gave us just the right amount of space.Overall: 3/5 For the price, I expected better execution. I'll give it another try in a few months to see if this was just an off night.

Dinner with friends last Sunday evening at Capital Grille (CG). We had been wanting to experience CG since their opening last fall. CG is a great addition to the OKC dining. It's a very nice venue in the New Oaks complex. The decor is modern with clean lines and adorned with portraits of Oklahoma celebrities. I really appreciated the layout and table spacing.We started with an order of calamari for the table. It was OK, but average. I rate it at 3/5. Three of us had different entrees. Ken had Sea Bass and gave it a 5/5. Susan had beef tenderloin medallions with lobster. She rated it 5/5. I had the 10 oz fillet and rated it a 3/5. I ordered it rare and it came medium rare with one end well done and stringy like roast beef. Jan ordered the 10 oz filet and gave it a 5/5.For the table we ordered truffle frittes. I thought they were excellent, 5/5. Jan did not like them at all. We also ordered creamed spinach. The consensus was it was OK, but the taste was unusual, 4/5. Jan and I finished with creme burlee and it was excellent, 5/5.It was a great evening. Lovely venue, good service and overall good experience. The noise was low. The prices are moderate to high consistent with a la carte menus.

Overall it was a wonderful experience. We got all seafood dishes! We started off with the tuna tartare which was great! I love the crackers how the flavors all come together with a bit sweet and spicy to contrast the tuna taste. The lobster bisque was my favorite dish!!! Flavor bomb in your mouth. The sea bass was okay but I liked the scallops better. The risotto was too salty for my taste buds and the Mac and cheese was not my favorite. It wasn't good. I think I took two bites and called it done. I don't think I'll get it ever again. The crème brûlée was burnt and the custard seemed like it was broken and not smooth. I love crème brûlée too so it was a huge disappointment. The service was good and the setting was very romantic.

We have been excited to try the new Capital Grille in OKC. We have been to other locations in the past, and we found the experience to be as excellent here as it has been at past locations. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, really giving you the feeling of your dinner being a special occasion. We ordered way too much food because we wanted to try out as much as we could. Some of the highlights were the bone-in filet, South African lobster tail, and the lobster mac and cheese. Although we were full, three of us shared the cheesecake. It was delicious, so save some room for dessert. The service was on point; we were well taken care of. We will definitely be back to enjoy more of what Capital Grille has to offer.

It took a while to get a reservation but we finally did. The parking is a little bit confusing (the lot is not next to the building. Only valet) so be advised. When I walked in I was greeted and was a bit early so I waiting near the entrance. After my bestie made it we were seated. I forgot the reservation was for 4 and a birthday. The birthday boy ended up having to work out of state but the decorations was cute. Our servers came and we got tequila shots to start. Woah. The pours were huge. We needed up splitting the beet salad, a rib eye and the lobster mac and cheese. The salad and mac and cheese were outstanding. The ribeye was good but not the best I've ever had. It was a little tough even being cooked medium and lacked flavor. Decor and services good tho.

Second time here and I enjoyed myself this time too! The food here is soo good this time I got the ribeye sandwich with truffle fries during lunch hours. Alissa was our waitress and she was nice ,knew all the details about the menu. It was packed during a Friday ,reservation was made. Krysta the manager came to check on us and answered additional questions she was so kind. I also got the passion fruit mojito and sooo good.

I've eaten at other Capital Grille locations before and can't wait to take my wife to the new OKC location next week!

Exceptional service and delicious high quality food! You definitely will be satisfied.
