What a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner! We ye food was delicious and our waitress was wonderful, kind and attentive. All of the staff made the night festive and fun. We will be back for Christmas 2025!

It was our first time at this restaurant however, our family members had been there before and recommended it for Christmas Eve dinner. Perfect evening!! All of the staff treated us like family and were happy to have us there. tried several sushi and appetizers. The size of the maki rolls was unbelievable and the flavors outstanding.  we had a picky eater among us and we were shocked at the things he tried and the things he liked from tartare, to foi gras and even bone marrow, so impressed.  Cocktails were absolutely loved by everyone …. Thank you for making our Christmas Eve phenomenal… we’ll be back!

We were there on Christmas Eve to celebrate my daughter’s 18th birthday (on her actual bday) and the wait staff did such an amazing job. Our glasses were never empty, we never had to ask for refills. Our meals were delivered fairly quickly and the table was setup with a card and birthday confetti. Such attention to detail. The restaurant was busy, but you would have never known until around 6pm. Side note: When I was making the reservation, I was told there would be over 500 people in and out on Christmas Eve. Naturally, I was thinking the restaurant might lose its charm with all of that noise; but it never did. It was again, one of the best local dining experiences for our family! Thank you Capital Grille - Hartford!!🩷

The staff was exceptional - attentive, handled special requests perfectly, did not make us feel rushed even on a busy night. The food was delicious, nice variety of choices. Had speciality drinks that were unique and very good.

My friend and I went for our yearly Christmas lunch. It was packed with several other office parties, and yet the service was still great. Food is always outstanding. Give it a try.
