    We love Cap City. Have gone to the Dublin location and Grandview and enjoy them both. The menu has something for everyone. Our family favorites are the Calamari for an appetizer, Burger, Club sandwich, Bbq Chopped Salad and Spicy Chicken Plaza. Food quality is always consistent and solid portions.

    It was a fun holiday dinner with friends from Florida visiting us. There were 8 of us and we hadn’t been together in a long while,so it was fun to visit and catch up. Perfect place with delicious food and ambiance. The waitress gave us ample time to visit before ordering. She was very nice and accommodating. But It was difficult for our waitress as we didn’t sit as couples. Proved challenging when the checks arrived. But no big deal and didn’t interfere with the fun. But I do urge people to look carefully at their check especially when dining with a large group. A lovely dining experience!

    Fantastic food and service! We started out with drinks at the bar and then moved to our table once it was ready. Starters were deviled eggs, crab cakes and two plates of oysters Rockefeller- which were outstanding! All three of us had steaks: a NY strip, a 20oz porterhouse and an 8oz filet mignon. A few bottles of California Pinot Noir and a few cocktails as well. Our server did a great job of guiding us and pointing out details that helped us with our menu selections. My two guests - both visiting for work from So California - were incredibly impressed with the entire dining experience. Great job.
