The Capital Grille

Loud, Overpriced and so so food.

The only way I really enjoy Capital Grill is if 1) I have had a least 3 drinks before arriving or 2) I am with a large group and I want to enjoy their company.

My business requires me to travel and eat out about 20 times a month.

Luckily, I can chose to eat where ever I wish to, however when I am in Houston I will only go to The Capital Grille if I have a client that is in love with it must be good because it is so expensive or the two reasons above.

The food is only ok. The servers try hard and often succeed but the noise and the cost for what you receive

just doesn't work.

• Pros: Good Valet service
• Cons: Loud, so so food, Overpriced.

Highly Over Rated

The Calamari as an appetizer was good and the mixed shellfish appetizer was good. The dry aged 24 oz Sirloin Steak had no taste at all. It was a lot of meat but had no flavor! It reminded me of a steak you would get up in the NorthEast. The service was good but for the price and taste of the food I think you can find much better elsewhere. If you want a truly mouthwatering steak try Pappas Steak house on Westheimer. I had a Ribeye there that is out of this world.

• Pros: Ambience, Wine, Scenery
• Cons: Overrated, Bad Steak, No Taste
