There are steak restaurants and then there is the Capital Grill down in the Plaza, Kansas City. Our party of ten had their Private dining room, attended by, Stephan, unquestionably one of the best waiters, I’ve come across in a long time, old school, just ask and he’ll make it happen. Andrea, hostess extraordinaire. Dry aged steaks, OMG, I had the peppercorn with Cognac cream sauce. The filets, with lobster, melted in your mouth and the lamb chops, yes I said lamb, was to die for with its Loganberry compote. Saturday nights always busy here, so we had to vacate our room, but we finished up out in the bar, with a couple of bottle of Taittinger and a bowl full of sinfully delicious handmade chocolate truffles. Executive Chef Matt Livers and his team will make this a power lunch, romantic or celebratory dinner, an occasion to remember.
Really good food and the service was decent. Ordered the fresh lemonade and it was delicious. We had two sandwiches and both were really tasty, they just didn't really stand out compared to other lunch sandwiches at other restaurants. I don't know, maybe I just needed to try something else and that would have done it for me. The side of fries were great though, I think those might have been the best I have had. I would go back and eat again. For lunch at a place like this, prices were not bad at all.

My favorite restaurant in the Kansas City area!! The bone-in Kona crusted steak with shallot butter melts in your mouth while the gourmet mashed potatoes are Heaven! This is my idea of perfect comfort food! Don't pass up the Cre'me Brule' !!
Kc's best. Hate to say it because it's a "chain" but Capital Grille is Kansas City's best steakhouse. Excellent prime cuts of beef and prepared to perfection every time. Best lobster I've had in town as well.
Lets be realistic. While the Midwest might be known for its meat production, Capital Grille is known for its steak. There isn't any place better in my opinion.
The calamari with spicy peppers and crab & lobster cakes have been a staple in my diet since I was 7. And for the past 19 years, I've been back again and again to celebrate all kinds of fun at the Grille and will for many years to come.
Don't want to spend a ton? Sit in the GREAT lounge area that the Kansas City Capital Grille has to offer. That and a glass of wine off their list is almost sure to make a after work event stunning.
Great food, so-so service. We hadn't been to this location in about 5 years so we were excited to see how it stacked up relative to some of the negative reviews.
We both had steaks and they were fantastic. As was the salad and the dessert.
Our server was good. Very good, in fact. But she was gone for a loonnnggg time, many times, while we were there. We expected better. Irritating.
Amazing. Love this place. better than Plaza III. my bone-in ribeye was cooked to perfection and the sides were delicious as well. i cook a great steak at home but if i'm going to go out and pay for someone to make me one i'm going here.
I was absolutely blown away by our experience at The Capital Grille last night! My husband and I decided to go "all out" for our one year wedding anniversary, and made reservations at TCG online. In the commentary box, it asks if you are celebrating anything, we entered "anniversary" and thought nothing more of it. Upon being seated, we were approached by our waiter, Sebastian, who greeted us by name and thanked us for choosing TCG for our anniversary! We were floored! But it didn't stop there... After our fabulous dinner (my husband had the porcini delmonico ribeye and I had the tenderloin with butter poached lobster), we were presented with the most beautiful dessert, the flour less chocolate espresso torte, complimentary! Never in my life have I experienced such amazing service! We have found a new favorite for sure!!
An Amazing Experience. This is one of the best restaurants we have ever been to. The service was far more than outstanding, as was the meal in it's entirety.
For our six year anniversary this was the perfect find. We started the evening with a complimentary wine tasting, because we couldn't decide on a wine. Had the crab/lobster cakes, which were perfect, juicy and paired perfectly with house made horseradish sauce and a corn salsa.
For the dinner I had the Seared Tuna Steak raw, as it should be. Expecting a 6-ish ounce meal, and out came a 12 oz, perfectly seared and seasoned Tuna Steak with gingered rice and 3 absolutely amazing dipping sauces; one wasabi based, one savory and soy based, and the other tangy and ginger based.
We were then give complimentary Champagne, Strawberries and a Chocolate Torte with Raspberries.
Everything was served with flare by our, I could only call her Host, Celia.
The Capital Grille is a true culinary experience which everyone should try!

Excellent Place to Spend The BIG 4 0. We spent my 40th birthday @ the CG and I will be going back for as many birthday dinners as I'm able too. We started out with salads or soup. I had the clam chowder which was clean and fresh, no seafood odor which meant it was very fresh and prepared correctly. The salads were all flavorful and fresh as well. For our meals, I had the Delmonico steak, my wife had the Kona crusted bone in Sirloin, and my In-laws had salmon. Everything was prepared to perfection. The flavor of both steaks was outstanding and the size of the salmon along with the flavor was top notch. We two sides, the garlic infused sautéed spinach and the lobster Mac 'n cheese. I Highly recommend both, the flavor of the spinach was fresh and nowhere close to over cooked or soggy. The lobster Mac 'n cheese was the best I've ever had. We skipped dessert since I had home made apple pie waiting for me at the house but that didn't stop me from eating the cheesecake with berries they brought me for my birthday. Overall, the best steak I've had in any upscale restaurant and well worth the price.
Top notch service: incredibly attentive, friendly, but not overbearing. Kept wine glasses full and both of us very happy.
Appetizers were fantastic, steak was cooked perfectly, and the sides were hearty and decadent. Overall very happy with my birthday dinner!

Our first time at the Capital Grille last night! I got a last minute reservation for me and my husband and we weren’t sure what to expect. They had good reviews and are always busy, so that’s usually a good sign. Because of it being Christmas weekend, the plaza was full of cars and it took us a little longer than expected to get parked. I called the restaurant to make sure we could still get a table and they told us to come in. We got to the restaurant and several groups came in after us, all waiting to be seated. However, service is so quick and well organized they had us and all the groups seated in 10 minutes. This place’s service is like a well oiled machine. They sat us in a small room near the restrooms, which was nice because it was quieter than the bar area of the restaurant. I had no idea capital grille was so large! Takes up the whole block!! Our waiter, Corey, was perfect. He was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. Our water glasses were always full, we never were waiting for drinks, and there were also additional staff checking tables too. Even how they served the bread: they went in order of how we were sat. The waiter had bread for 3 tables and instead of just serving us and then the tables to our left, he went one by one by the order we had sat down. Lastly, the food was incredible. I got the sirloin and lobster tails. Lobster melted in your mouth, homemade butter is to die for, and steaks were SO tender! We will definitely be back and I can tell it’s a Kansas City tradition to go there, now I know why!! One of a kind place.
Had a lovely meal here with my husband. We had a late lunch and weren’t too hungry, unfortunately. We ordered the tenderloin and lobster tails which the kitchen split for us and the au gratin potatoes. Both were delicious! The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and the lobster tails were divine. Our drinks were wonderful as well! Service was upstanding and attentive! Highly recommend! Come hungry!!
This was truly an exceptional meal and experience. From the service to the atmosphere and each course in between, we enjoyed our visit.
The stand-outs were the crab cakes, lamb chops, sea bass and cheese cake!
I've been to many CGs, but I think this may be #1.
Recently went here for a surprise birthday dinner for myself that my significant other took me to! I can't even describe how absolutely out of this world this place was! Food was to die for, it just kept getting better and better! Their bread selection they serve you with the butter is so good as well. We tried the lobster/crab cakes (I wasn't a fan just for personal preference) but my boyfriend loved it! The lamb chops were so divine alongside the greens salad/brussel sprouts, and the coconut cream pie! Our service, Dave (or Dan! I cannot recall at this moment) was so amazing at taking care of us. His recommendations were spot on and I trusted him with whatever he was recommending to us and was very personable and sweet. We plan on this now being a tradition of coming here for special events. Thank you so much to the staff for such a great time and experience!
The food was absolutely delicious! Best filet mignon I’ve ever had. Our server Christian was also great, very attentive, knowledgeable & friendly. 10/10 would recommend!
We ate here for my husband's birthday and it was great! Service was good and he was fun to our little ones. The food was delicious! My kids had Mac and cheese and they loved it. I got to taste it and it was divine. I had the citrus glazed salmon which could have had more of the flavor present but it was good non the less. My husband had the ribeye I believe and he ordered it medium but it came medium well. Although it wasn't medium it was good and he enjoyed it.
Amazing, definitely the best lobster mac and cheese i’ve had, debatably the best filet mignon. Ask for Gaspare if you go. Girlfriend and I we’re celebrating our 2 years, showed up 5 minutes before closing and they treated us amazing
Wonderful, Classy, and upscale. The wine menu was exclusive and lengthy. The food was absolutely phenomenal! Both the steaks were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The Brussels sprouts were amazing. The Parmesan fries were delicious but seemed oddly out of place with such a decadent meal…still worth it though. Went for a birthday celebration and received the dessert as a comp from them…the chocolate dessert was very rich and the cheesecake was creamy—both very excellent! We tried all the Bourbon drinks but the in fashion was my personal favorite! Highly recommend but be prepared to pay for the ambiance, exquisite food tastes, and drink selections! Worth it though!
Recommend coming here right at 5pm, especially on the weekends. We received wonderful service from the moment we arrived. Then we had Mark, in the bar seating area, who was fabulous! The food was excellent. We had French onion soup, clam chowder, and their surf and turf. Plus, they surprised us with a “Happy Anniversary“ plate of mini desserts. It was truly a wonderful evening.
