    We had an absolutely outstanding evening at The Capital Grille! From the appetizers to the desserts, everything was wonderful. We started with the Calamari with Hot Cherry Peppers, which was absolutely amazing! Perfectly prepared, with just the right amount of heat and flavor. We followed that with the French Onion Soup and Wedge Salad, both of which were excellent. For our main courses, my girlfriend had the Salmon, and I enjoyed the Ribeye. Both dishes were beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and absolutely wonderful. We finished the evening with the Crème Brûlée and Coconut Cream Pie, and both were delicious! A perfect ending to an exceptional meal. The Capital Grille delivered a fantastic dining experience from beginning to end. Every course was memorable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. We look forward to returning!

    We had a fabulous experience. It was our 26th anniversary. We chose lunch and to ride the train in from Puyallup to Seattle. When we arrived there was a rose on the table and shiny hearts. The waiter was so nice and the manager, Blake, spent a lot of time visiting with us. It was an excellent afternoon. We will be going back for sure and not just for a special occasion.
