The Capital Grille

I love this place, My wife and Mother feel just like home here. more

Inconsistant service, but one of the best steaks I have ever had. But it is soooo expensive. I can only afford to go there about once a year more

In the world. I mean, as far and wide as I have looked anyway. Go here! more

The Capital Grille is cetainly one of the finest choices on the Country Club Plaza. The reviews here tend to agree. I'm going to recommend the salmon. I have no idea what is done in terms of choice and preparation, but Capital's salmon is the best in Kansas City! Outstanding and attentative service! more

My wife and I love dinning at The Capital Grille for its calm atmosphere. I just want to thank our server on our last visit for the exceptional service - and the steak was to die for! more

The Capital Grille on the Country Club Plaza is one of the finer restaurants in Kansas City, and this shows in the high quality foods and top-notch service they provide. I've eaten steaks from the east coast, southwest, British Columbia and everywhere in between; you'll be hard presssed to find a better steak anywhere. Don't put too much stock in the reviews by people from D.C.; its clear they know nothing of quality meat. Of course the midwest is ""cattle country"" so its no surprise that the best quality steaks are available in KC. The lobster mac is an amazing accompaniment that you must try on your next visit. Pros: Excellent steaks, the best service and the lobster mac. Cons: Somewhat pricey, but expected for this level of service. more

Capital Grille is good but for the price, the atmosphere and the food, it really is a 3 star place. In Washington, DC, I've encountered 'attitude' on a pretty regular basis. Their food for the price is really not up to par - reduce the price a notch or two and then, yes, it's good. The setting is very nice but taking the combo of all, it's a lot of hype in my opinion in their Washington, DC locations. Other places here are much better - it's that simple and true. Pros: service is good, food good but not great, power lunch yes Cons: price for what you get does not make it worth it more

The Capital Grille is an extremely classy place to go. The atmosphere is wonderful and the food is exquisite. I would highly recommend going there for a first date if you want to make an great first impression! more

The Capital Grille is a wonderful very classy restaurant and bar. I have been there several times and usually only get an appitizer and sit at the bar. Very nice for drinks and the shrimp cocktail is the best. Go and enjoy. more

Awful. I'm visiting from Washington DC where I have often eaten (happily) at the Capital Grille. This one was a pale imitation. more

A savory place to relax and enjoy a wonderful dinner. There is Kansas City History on the walls, which makes for interesting viewing and conversation. This is a fantastic place to dine with friends or clients when you want to enjoy conversation between courses and have a wonderful meal. more

My family and I ate here the night after eating at the M & S Grille and the disappointment was palpable. With the exception of a very good steak, the side dishes were ho-hum, the salad was mediocre and the service was slightly ridiculous. We had more than one server and one did not know what the other was doing - therefore; very poor service overall. We asked to be seated in non-smoking and it always fascinates me when non-smoking is as close to the bar with no wall as you can possibly get. For my family this totally destroys the ambience of the restaurant and the flavor of the food. In comparison to the night before where our appetizer was fabulous, the steaks and seafood were without question some of the best, the salads were crisp and flavorful, the onion soup was to die for, the Cosmos were superb, the free dessert (not requested) was plate scraping wonderful and the service was outstanding - well, there is no comparison. My son had just turned 21 and our server at M & S was astute enough to note that and awarded us with this fabulous dessert to finish off our meal. It is little things like that in addition to the amazing food that gets people coming back - not for the snobbishness of saying we had eaten at The Capital Grille. We spent the weekend on the Plaza and of course I would not compare this to The California Pizza Kitchen or P.F. Chang's, but I feel it is a fair comparison to use the M & S Grille where the food is similar. I would not, nor would my two adult children or my brother ever recommend your establishment to anyone. more

We visited in Sept. 2006 to celebrate our 5th anniversary. I made a reservation and requested the back room. I was really glad we did this because on a busy Friday night, we wouldn't have been able to hear each other talk elsewhere in the restaurant. Pros: Ambience, Service Cons: Overpriced, Stuffy more

The Capital Grille is out of this world! The food is off the charts, the service is outstanding. Hands down....THE BEST for LARGE GROUPS!!! Shannon and Liz book the private rooms with smooth style. My wife and I had our rehearsal dinner at The Capital Grille and it was a night to remember! The tables were decorated beautifully and without instruction from us..they just did it...very nice touch. Pros: everything from the food to the beautiful restrooms Cons: we cannot eat there more often more

Go back a couple of times and they know you by name. From the doorman to the busboys the staff is simply gracious. Absolutely outstanding food. Atmosphere is somewhat noisy but not distractingly so. Pros: Great food and drink Cons: Somewhat noisy in the dining areas. more

Dining at The Capital Grille is like being a KING for the evening. The Staff always seem to know who you are and what you want. I have wondered if they read minds?! The Sunday Jazz is a relaxing elegant close to the week. My Wife enjoys the Stoli Doli and I the Delmonico. The cheesecake is the absolute BEST in town! The Hostess will even seat your party with black napkins to keep lint off of your dark clothing! I often use The Capital Grille as an example to my Sales Staff, if my Staff can elevate to The Capital Grille's level of customer service....the sky is the limit! Pros: Service, Steak, Seafood Cons: NONE!!!!!! more

The service was superb! The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. They make the event fun. Food and wine were also great. I love this place. more

Our table was not level and rocked back and forth the entire experience. I'm a steak guy and my ""Delmonico Steak"" was over cooked and full of gristle. The service was attentive. They offered to replace the steak and ultimately removed it from the tab, but the fine dining experience was over and I was still hungry. Attention to detail in fine dining is a must. This restaurant has a excellent reputation, but they need to monitor the details that can ruin the experience. stability and food quality in more detail. Pros: Attentiveness, Responsiveness Cons: Food Quality, Food Preparation more
