After a wonderful experience here it's safe to say that it's a fantastic choice, even for a chain restaurant. From the moment we were seated, we were treated to warm and attentive service. To start, the bread selection was impressive and absolutely delicious, setting the tone for the meal. The drinks were equally impressive, with a variety of options to choose from, all expertly crafted. Moving on to the main course, the quality of the food shone through. The salmon was cooked to perfection, and the crab cakes were a delectable choice. The salad was fresh and served with a flavorful dressing, and the lobster mac and cheese was a delightful indulgence, with generous portions of lobster and rich, creamy cheese. What stood out at The Capital Grille was the consistency in the quality of their food, despite being part of a chain. The flavors were spot-on, and the presentation was impeccable. Overall, The Capital Grille in Indianapolis is a dependable choice for a memorable dining experience. Whether you're looking for great food, a wide selection of drinks, or just a pleasant atmosphere, it delivers on all fronts.

I visited the Capital Grille for my birthday earlier this year and what a great place to go to celebrate! The food was amazing, but the service here is what really made my day. Upon learning that I was celebrating my birthday, they decorated the table with confetti and a birthday card! Additionally, they brought me super cute desserts and champagne. I’ve never had any food or drink here that I’ve not enjoyed, and the staff are always wonderful. One of my favorite places to go!

I had a great dining experience at Capital Grille in Indianapolis. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made the evening special. The cocktail selection was extensive and offered a delightful start to the meal. I enjoyed the mezcal margarita. The crab cake appetizer was a delectable start, and the salmon was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The real star of the show, though, was the lobster mac and cheese; it was rich and indulgent. While it was a great meal, I reserve the fifth star for that 'wow' factor that I didn’t quite experience.

Went during a weekday as part of an appreciation dinner with one of my vendors. I ordered a really delicious seared tenderloin steak with butter poached lobster tail dinner. I ordered it medium rare. The sides were ordered for the whole table and all good and paired well with my entree. I’m not into drinking wine but what was ordered for the table was ok. I preferred the house special pineapple mixed drink I got for myself whose name I don’t recall. For dessert, I ordered a crème brûlée with fruits on top. It was the best I’ve had thus far. The service was excellent and the waiter took good care of us as best he could with a group as large as ours and the whole restaurant being full thanks to the conference in town. The bathrooms were ok. Kind of dim but they looked mostly cleaned. However, it was at the end of the day so that should be taken into consideration. It’s a really good restaurant which I’d considered fancy and for special occasions I’d go there on my own despite the high costs. Recommended just be sure you have plenty to spend.

What an absolutely fantastic birthday dinner. We were welcomed with a nice had written card and some confetti on the table, a very nice touch in my opinion. For starters the cocktails were top notch, the wife got the cosmo and I ordered the Stoli Doli. For our appetizer we got the Wedge Salad and the Lobster Bisque and that was hands down the best Bisque I’ve ever had, it was rich in flavor and had a very generous amount of lobster chunks. We split one of their specials which was a 10 oz fillet mignon and lobster tail. We haven’t stopped talking about how excellent the steak was. The best we’ve ever experienced. I believe it was dry aged and the most tender cut of meat you could imagine. I forget the reduction it was served with but they said it takes 7 hours to cook, that served with the lobster tail was heavenly. They really out did themselves with the dessert too. They brought out The Capital Grille Cheesecake and the Chocolate Espresso Cake with 2 glasses of champagne to celebrate my birthday. And to top it off the service was phenomenal, big thanks to Carter for all of his knowledge of the menu and overall friendliness. We can’t wait to go back. This will be our new spot for special occasions when we are in Indianapolis. Cheers

We came here to celebrate our anniversary, and it did not disappoint. We had a drink at the bar while waiting for our reservation, both bartenders were very attentive and friendly. Once seated, our waitress Ashley arrived almost immediately to wish us a happy anniversary and get our drinks and appetizers started. We enjoyed absolutely every bit of Ashley's service and the food was amazing. We will definitely be coming back here!

On 14 July, we were anticipating a special experience in celebration of our 34th Wedding Anniversary. The Capital Grille did not disappoint; in fact, it exceeded our expectations! From the time we entered up to our departure, we were met with top-notch staff. When we approached our table, it we found it festively decorated with an Anniversary card signed by the entire staff. Our server, Mr..Carter Kahn was exemplary! His professional expertise in describing wine and meal options was fantastic! Hubby and I shared Steak Tartare as an appetizer. He then enjoyed a perfectly cooked Filet Mignon with Cipollini Onions, wild mushrooms & fig essence. I loved my perfectly cooked seared Tenderloin with butter poached Lobster tails with hollandaise sauce. The garlic sautéed Spinach and AuGratin Potatoes were the perfect touch to round out the meal. For dessert, we were pleasantly blessed with an Anniversary desert platter paired with a glass of berry infused champagne. Everything was delicious, perfectly cooked and well timed. Thank you so very much for a dinner experience we will long remember!

My boyfriend and I decided to celebrate our 5 year anniversary at The Capital Grille, and could not be happier with the experience. Rob was our server and he was absolutely perfect. He, along with his colleagues, were perfect throughout the night. Water half full? Instantly a refill (small detail: they would refill the drinks without interrupting conversation, nor making a distraction, which is super appreciated). The sheer decorum of the establishment and staff is something to respect as well. For example, my boyfriend went to the restroom and put his napkin on the table without folding it - Rob came pretty quickly afterward, grabbed the napkin, folded it nicely, placed his clean spoon on top of it, all while making funny small talk with me about a local event coming up. To have that kind of attention to detail, so when my boyfriend returned to his seat it looked perfect, is special to watch in action and is something to appreciate. When I booked our reservation, I put in the note that we were celebrating our 5 year anniversary. I had no idea that they would do anything about it, and just kinda threw it on there as a "why not?". When we walked into the door our host immediately greeted us, and when I told them the name it was under, he told us Happy Anniversary. He walked us to our table, and to our surprise, there were tasteful decorations and a note that said happy anniversary. About 10 minutes after, I realized that the card was actually an envelope. I opened it to a lovely note with signatures from the entire staff. To be honest, as a younger gay couple in Indiana, this was the most special any establishment has ever made us feel. We haven't even gotten to the food yet - I ordered the Kona Crusted Dry Aged NY Strip with a side of Lobster Mac n Cheese and my boyfriend ordered the Sliced Filet Mignon. At first they accidentally sent out regular Mac n Cheese, I wasn't even going to say anything, but Rob to the rescue noticed immediately there was no lobster. He quickly took it back, and the Executive Chef quickly brought out the dish and apologized herself. While completely not expected, it was a great sign of respect to us, which we appreciate. The food was absolutely perfect. We both ordered our steaks medium, and they came out perfect medium. My Strip had so much depth in flavor and I knew I was in for a special meal. The Filet was so bright and complex in flavor unlike anything my boyfriend had tasted before, but loved it. The lobster Mac n Cheese was again perfect, so rich and creamy. I barely saved enough space toward the end and told Rob I was interested in a dessert menu. Rob cleared our table, packed our leftovers for us, and kept the secret. He then surprised us with glasses of Champagne and a dessert (which we were not charged for). The chocolate mousse was to die for with a rich coffee flavor throughout, the berries and cream were so bright and fresh, and the crème brûlée was the best I've had. My boyfriend also chose to to have the wine special "The Generous Pour" which was 7 glasses of wine to go with the meal. Rob was again perfect with balancing the number of glasses on the table and quickly taking away ones finished. Overall, our experience had us leaving already thinking about when we were going to come next. I can not give enough praise to the incredible staff - we had so many interactions with different staff members and every one of them was professional, courteous, and friendly. We truly appreciate the dedication, and cannot wait to come back! Thank you for making our Five Year Anniversary so special.

We came here to celebrate my birthday. Timothy provided us with excellent service and made the occasion very special. The steaks my husband and I ordered were done perfectly.You have to have the shrimp cocktail. The sauce is fantastic. I love creamed spinach and it was exceptional. Not everybody knows how to do it right. My husband had the clam chowder and raved about how good it was. The evening was topped off by a special dessert and champagne. Nothing could of been more perfect.

This is always my favorite place for a dinner as the staff is welcoming, friendly, and very courteous of the atmosphere and cleanliness. I usually sit at the bar area and my food comes out very well prepared as well as the bread. My water is always refilled and that is a big deal to me as I am always dehydrated from traveling and flying. I usually have several people ask if I need anything else or will make some small talk. The chicken was excellent and came out at a perfect temperature. I enjoy Indianapolis every time I visit and I always make this a regular place to dine out. Thank you and I look forward to eating here again.
