“Small restaurant with modern american decor. Street parking around the area. The staff were amazing and so nice, knowledgeable about the food and drinks. We did the tasting menu with the spirit free pairing. I thought the food portions were acceptable. The appetizers were great as were the desserts. The drinks were great too. Although there were multiple savory courses, my friends and I thought it was still lacking. Overall a great night still.“

“Creative, high quality dishes. A bit pricey, though it lives up to the cost.The steak tartare was very flavorful. Its was quite dressed for a tartare, i.e. not meat-forward. The duck was fantastic, as was the saffron prawn gnocchi. Like the flavors or not, none of the dishes were boring, ingredients were great, and the execution was beyond question.The blood and sand was perhaps the best balanced smoky scotch cocktail I’ve had. Partner’s bohemian was also very good.“
“Capital Grille is an outstanding place to dine. Our waiter, Art, was very attentive and polite and professional. Our lobster salads were delicious, and they also provided special birthday surprises. I highly suggest you plan a meal at this exceptional restaurant!“
“One of the best and most unique dining experiences in Chicago. Chef Devin Denzer is truly an artist. Talented beyond his years. Great date night, or group of friends event. Eat his food before he gets his Michelin stars so you can tell people you knew him back in the day.“
“This catering outfit does a fabulous job. I recently worked with them for a wedding shower I threw at my home. They were terrific in every way-responsive, helpful with menu ideas and amounts, and all of the food was delicious. They dropped off the food the morning of the shower and returned to retrieve their baskets the following week. I would use them again without hesitation.“
“Just celebrated my wife's birthday. Food was fantastic. Some people in our party don't eat meat. The chef made up a vegetarian soup they said was great. The chef made a birthday cake that was wonderful. Great experience. Will definitely go back.“
