    The salmon and mango salad was flavorful and I really enjoyed it. The problem was despite saying I needed to be gluten free and dairy free, I did get sick following lunch so I suspect some cross contamination issues.

    Service and food were excellent. Only issue was our table was not ready at reservation time and we waited 30 mins in the small crowded front of the restaurant.

    Lunch at our favorite pre theater place. Perfect as usual. My salmon was excellent and the mashed potatoes are the best! My friends had steak frites and N.Y. strip steak. Not a morsel left on any of our plates. See you next week!

    We had the pre-theater dinner for two and while the total with tip was $220 we felt it was a good value at that price. The food and service were excellent and unlike many dining venues in Philadelphia I could hear what my dinner companion was saying. We each had salads, the bone-in sirloin steak, dessert. The meal came with two sides and bread and we each had a drink. The steak was cooked just right and the sides were excellent

    Loved my lunch here at Capital Grill. The drinks were wonderful and the service from the staff was superb. Steven was an excellent server and I would love to have him again the next time I am there. The food was good but the cocktails were excellent. A solid place in CC.
