What can you say. Capital Grill sets the bar so high for even themselves on food quality and service. This never disappoints whether it is a small party of two or a room rental for 16. Every time I am in town, Hartford, we stop in because LiBeth is the best server in the entire country. Ask for her by name and I promise you won't be disappointed.

Another great dining experience. The filet mignon and the salmon were cooked perfectly. Highly recommend the salted baked potato and cauliflower au gratin. Looking forward to the new carrot dish going from a la carte to a side dish selection. The awesome chocolate layer cake requires a leftover take home container! Continue to highly recommend J Gilbert's.

I was nervous about eating here due to some poor reviews. However I am so glad we gave this place a chance! Food tasted great, it came out hot and it was a good portion. Our server Sunny made sure we had a nice anniversary dinner and experience. Prices were a bit steep but its to be expected in this economy. We will be back for sure at some point.
