The Capital Grille

Expect earnest service, martinis and a dark-wood interior with an exclusive men's club atmosphere.

In Short
The martinis are large, the steaks are even larger, and the prices are large, too. In addition to the 300 wine choices and clubby, warm atmosphere, there are steaks. The steaks are dry-aged on the premises, and lighter eaters can order small without sacrificing quality. The seafood options holds their own in a meat-and-potatoes kind of town.

Steaks??

by katbm at Citysearch

Ok, the steaks ARE oustanding, especially the delmonico or the filet with the roqufort butter mmmmmmm. And the wine list is never ending. But let's skip around the middle. To start with, the calamari is so yummy....and I don't even like calamari. You can't go wrong with the french onion soup, although I'm not sure how you're supposed to eat it "properly" because it's sooo gooey. And to end the evening, PLEASE save room for the homemade cheescake. It truly is sinfully delicious. Word of advice, if you don't have room, get it to go.

• Pros: service, food

Best Steak in Charlotte

by za208 at Citysearch

I've been to all the 'nice and upscale' steakhouses in Charlotte, and the filet here was by far the best. The other restaurants are not bad, but when you can eat here for the same price, or slightly higher, it only makes sense to get the best for your money. I've eaten here several times, and enjoyed it each time.

This is an excellent place for a romantic dinner for two. I highly recommend it. The staff is excellent with two servers attending our table. The food was first rate. A little pricey but overall excellent.

• Pros: Good Atmosphere, Located Downtown, Excellent Food

We love this place!!

by lablover2 at Citysearch

If you are trying to impress someone this is the place to go. Superb personalized service. Excellent steaks and beautiful decor. The day we went we had forgotten our umnbrella. Our server escorted us back to the office with umbrella in hand. Now that's what I call service.

Incredible Meal

From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the service was the best I have had in Charlotte. They were very attentative, but unintrusive. And there is only one word to describe the food and the wine: Amazing!!

• Pros: Service, Food, Wine
• Cons: Busy, Need Reservations

Classy

by cchpapman at Citysearch

Definetly a classy atmosphere. And you have to have reservations or you don't eat. It's possible they have valet parking but I can't remember. The steaks are great order one side item. The portions is enough to share with your date. That came straight out of a waiter's mouth. Don't expect to order the typical cheese sticks or chicken fingers as an appetizer. Sorry, you find it on the menu. They have an extensive wine list. Expect to spend at least $100.00 for two. That includes 1 or two drinks.

• Cons: pricey, limited menu, don't look for wings
