We are blessed by living close by the Lombard location where we frequent regularly. Have visiting numerous Capital Grills and this is by far our most favorite. Evo makes a mean martini and the food and service always exceeds our expectations!!

We went to this this Chicago eatery as a group of 14 colleagues while in the US for a global conference. Together we represented some 8 or 9 different countries, with widely varied tastes, but this restaurant had most of us leaving delighted and full, with their delicious and hearty portions of mains, complemented by some brilliant sides.

We have eaten at the one in DC a few times. Tis is the first time we have eaten at the one in Chicago. Excellent steaks. The mashed potatoes are some of the best anywhere. Good wine list. Excellent service. There in house made ice creams for dessert are worth having.

As always the food was great and the atmosphere was perfect. The Clam Chowder and Calamarie were yummy.

Great service, fabulous food and just a plain wonderful experience. My only complaint was that I choose this restaurant based on their web menu; stuffed shrimp. However, they no longer offer this dish:(

Oh my! when one wants steak, this is the place! Clearly others feel the same as is always busy. With a rich dark wood decor with both tables and wonderful booths: some in alcoves, there is also sometimes available the "wine room" which is our favorite location. One is always welcomed warmly. Service always good and consistent, a range of... More

There are lots of very good steakhouses in Chicago, but this is my favorite. The filets are always perfectly cooked, the appetizers and sides are excellent, service is good, and there is a very good (although pricey) wine list that features quite a number of big Cabs. Perhaps my favorite thing about it, however, is that these are always business... More

As a note to readers of this review my ratings were based primarily for lunchtime service especially when it comes to price. Also know that I have visited this restaurant for dinner service and have been equally satisfied except that the rating for value would be higher. Now for my review. We visited "The Capital Grille" for lunch this week.... More
