Came in for a late lunch early dinner in between meetings. Ate at the bar and had possibly the best piece of sushi-grade tuna cooked perfectly I have ever eaten in my life- inclusing a number of trips to Tokyo. That and a to die for spinach salad hit the spot. The real treat was the bartender, Sunshine -- I... More

The food at The Capital Grille is very good. But what is great at this restaurant, and sets it apart from so many others, is the pampering you receive from the wait staff. Their waiters are not only knowledgeable about the menu and the preparation of each dish, but they are well trained in seamless service, enjoyable repartee and how... More

The Capital Grille never disappoints, we have been to a few in other major cities and all have the same standards of food and service, it's excellent! Jacksonville has very few good restaurants and we are so glad we made it to the Grille for Easter brunch! The crapes were to die for, the Bellini perfect and service stellar. Do... More

We have a ladies night out once a month....we choose a different restaurant every time...This by far has been the best! Everything from the moment we walked in the door was perfect. The service was beyond outstanding and the food was absolutely perfect, as the wine selection. They have 250+ wines to select from and you can keep what you... More

I've eaten here about 20 times and have never had a bad experience. They are very consistent. Food and steak is always prepared correctly. We love the bar here. Dark wood and brass. Service has always been perfect. They have complimentary valet also.

The Capital Grille is expensive and the portions are generally too large, but you can count on consistently getting top notch quality, food, service, and wines. This is generally a special occasion place for many people because of the price, but it draws people because it is so good. During the last couple years when the economy suffered, this was... More

My family ate at The Capital Grill at Town Center in Jacksonville, FL last week. We were not disappointed. The food and service were amazing. I had the lobster bisque, lobster and crab stuffed shrimp, and a creme brûlée. The lobster bisque was chock full of lobster meat, making the $10 price even more reasonable. The stuffed shrimp were huge,... More

I obviously never really had a steak until I went to the Capital Grille in Jacksonville. Absolutely delicious! All the food was perfect, the service was refined, classy, yet relaxed, as was the overall atmosphere!

Made reservations for Valentines two weeks in advance. They called a day before to confirm the reservation. The atmosphere and service was impeccable. After a complementary glass of bubbly, our appetizer, steaks, and sides arrived in a very relaxing rhythm. A very nice evening was had by all.
