The food was delicious. Because they were out of baby back ribs, I was forced to try something I’ve never ordered before. The stroganoff was delicious!

The igloos create a magical ambiance, making it perfect for a special night out. The food was excellent—loved the Ruben egg rolls, which were incredibly tasty, and the Harrison Chicken sandwich was spot-on. Highly recommend for a unique dining experience!

I had the pleasure of dining at Cupitol, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with elegant décor that set the perfect tone for the evening. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout the meal. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The meatballs were standout favorites—perfectly cooked and seasoned. The dessert selection was equally impressive, and the Skillet cookie was a must-try! The attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every aspect of the meal. It’s clear the team takes pride in their craft. Overall, Cupitol is a true gem, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I can’t wait to return!
