   I had a wonderful experience yesterday evening with a friend at the Capital Grill,in Tysons Corner. The food was excellent. The ingredients were of a high-quality and well prepared. My friend and I started with the calamari with cherry peppers. It was so good that I could easily find myself returning to the restaurant for that alone. The calamari was lightly fried and spiced with the most delicious peppers. The serving size was generous, but not oversized. The filet mignon was cooked just right and impressed us as also being of the highest quality. We also enjoyed very much the side dishes of potatoes, asparagus, and corn which were also carefully prepared and which complemented our filets perfectly. We skipped wine for this meal, but did enjoy their signature cocktails. Although I don’t usually order a restaurant signature drinks, as they are too often gimmicky and overpriced, these were just the opposite. I certainly intend to order them the next time I go to the restaurant. But as good as the food was, the experience was taken to the next level by the superb wait staff and their support team. We were extremely fortunate to be served by Jose G. who really set the bar for how to provide the very best restaurant,service. He was prompt, helpful, genial, and never overbearing. We had the feeling that he was nearby if we needed him for anything, but he was never in any way intrusive. José truly made it a wonderful dining experience for us. I could go on about the beautiful interior design, of the restaurant or how every employee that we interacted with was friendly and eager to be of assistance, but suffice to say this is a restaurant we look forward to returning to in the very near future.

   I recently dined at the Capital Grill Tysons and was thoroughly impressed. The service was outstanding—prompt, attentive, and friendly. The food was amazing, with each dish showcasing high-quality ingredients and preparation. Although the atmosphere was a bit loud, it added to the lively and welcoming environment. Overall, the restaurant offers excellent service, delectable food, and a vibrant dining experience that is not to be missed.

   Capital Grill is a favorite of mine and my lovely wife. The filet mignon and lamb chops were awesome as usual...the grilled asparagus is a personal favorite but the roasted brussell sprouts stole the show! The atmosphere was vibing and the restaurant was as comfortable as it could be. Our server was a class act Gentleman who demonstrated exceptional etiquette and style for the evening. He is an excellent liaison for Capital Grill.

   Cory was an excellent server! He is experienced and knowledgeable and very attentive! The host, James, is well experienced at the front door and makes you feel welcomed despite it being very busy on a Saturday night! I could tell the staff was overwhelmed with the amount of people but me & my date waited for our table for only a few minutes. Much faster than expected! My date and I felt that the staff was very attentive to our wants/needs. The only complaint that I can think of are some of the prices are too high but I understand that has to do with inflation.

   We really appreciated the special birthday adornment on our table, as well as the birthday boy’s special dessert. Our waiter Corey was excellent. My husband’s and my cocktails (espresso martini and French 75) weren’t up to your usual standards, and the lamb chops were barely seasoned. I’m not sure if it was because it was a Sunday evening.

    This was my first time going to this location and I wasn't disappointed in the least. The ambiance was cozy and festive (loved the decorations), staff were pleasant and had approachable dispositions. Furthermore, my request in the reservation to be seated by a window was honoured without me having to remind the hostess. The food was tasty and portions copious. The calamari, the lamb chops, cheesecake and creme brulee were our faves. The turkey was the tastiest we have had yet in a restaurant so we were happy we got to take home the leftovers. Our waiter, Korey, was personable, professional and patient. He didn't vanish for long periods and checked in regularly. He didn't grimace once when we asked him to repeat the specials a few times (sorry Korey)! The icing on the cake was the maitre d''s friendliness and first-class customer service. Kevin F. stopped by, greeted us warmly and wished us a Happy Thanksgiving. He definitely caught my attention - I was impressed because as many times as I've been to the Fairfax Corner location the maitre d' there has never stopped by my table. When one of the dishes we ordered was not served as we had requested, and a specific ask was forgotten, Kevin came and apologised profusely and then went all out to ensure our full satisfaction. He served us himself and checked to see whether the chef got it right the second time around, supervising the staff who rallied around us to give our new plates. Another thing that stood out was Kevin's support of his staff, praising Korey and taking full responsibility for the blunder, not throwing him under the bus as I've witnessed in some instances. Kevin's leadership skills are exemplary and his personality on point, so he has a following! :) We were really touched by his attentiveness and appreciative of his determination to ensure our Thanksgiving celebration was not marred in the least, and it wasn't. We will visit again. Thank you Kevin and Korey, and Happy Thanksgiving!
