The Capital Grille - N Tryon St: A Fine Dining Experience Awaits

Our waiter was very attentive and patient with our table and he gave good suggestions. For me this is definitely a date night or special occasion spot. I got an appetizer (5 oysters) and the scallop risotto dish. That was about $102 before tip.

The staff gave some fantastic recommendations, and I went with the lamb chops, plus a lobster tail on the side. Everything was tender, savory, and just downright delicious. The flavors really hit perfectly, and it felt like a real treat. I’ve also been to Capital Grille during lunch, and honestly, that experience was just as great—friendly staff, excellent food, and a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. Both lunch and dinner here feel elevated without being over the top, which is such a nice balance. The combination of amazing service, fantastic food, and a welcoming vibe makes this a place I know I’ll be visiting often. Definitely one of those restaurants you want to come back to and try more of the menu each time!

I feel like every time I come to Capital Grille it gets better and better every time. The steaks are always cooked perfection. Every time I go, I get the ribeye and Caesar salad it never disappoints. If you come here don’t worry about the pricing because the experience you get is well worth it. The food is great, but the service is even better and I couldn’t have been more appreciative for how our server treated my mother and I.

We reserved this restaurant for our anniversary. Due to construction on the street, and its downtown location, we elected to valet ($11). The restaurant was huge and the atmosphere really nice. Our waitress was very attentive and the front of the house manager came over to ask how we were doing. I ordered a passion fruit mojito that was delicious. I chose the scallops and lobster risotto. It was well seasoned and very delicious. My husband ordered the filet mignon. He asked for steak sauce before taking a bite, but afterwards told the waitress he didn't want it. It cut like butter he said and was seasoned too good to add the steak sauce. The restaurant presented me with a rose, gave us a nice card, as well as two desserts, a brulee cheesecake and flourless chocolate expresso cake. The menu items are expensive, although due to the quality of the food its worth it. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and will return again for lunch.

My first time visiting any Capital Grille, and I would happily return. Our server was highly knowledgeable and courteous. The New England clam chowder I had as an appetizer was delicious and served at the perfect temperature. This was after we noshed on the interesting variety of options in the bread basket. My entree was the citrus glazed salmon with green beans. The flavor of the salmon 10/10 but it seemed a bit on the dry side. Next time I would probably go for the sea bass or scallops.

We went there for our Anniversary dinner, the everything was perfect! I would highly recommend trying this establishment, you will not be disappointed! They also have vallet parking which is only $11 which makes it nice convenient.

I wanted to do something special for my wife's birthday. I've seen advertisements for this restaurant so I made reservations and we were pleasantly surprised. Our server Shante, went above and beyond to make my wife experience special. My wife had the filet mignon and I had the 28 oz bone in rib eye with South African lobster tail. Both meals were amazing. If you are ever in Charlotte's city center check out this restaurant.

I recently dined at The Capital Grille in Charlotte and had a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant offers an upscale yet comfortable atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for an anniversary celebration, special occasion, or business dinner. The standout dish of the evening was the crab cake — exceptionally well-prepared and full of generous, high-quality crab meat. There was no skimping on the main ingredient, and the flavor was rich and perfectly balanced. It was easily the highlight of the meal. I also ordered a fish entrée, which was cooked well and had a nice texture. While it was enjoyable overall, I personally would have preferred a bit more seasoning to elevate the dish further. For dessert, I tried the cheesecake, which was not the traditional New York style I was expecting. Instead, it was a more creative interpretation — flavorful, smooth, and a pleasant surprise to end the meal. The Capital Grille consistently delivers attentive service, quality ingredients, and a refined dining experience. Based on this visit, I would confidently recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable meal in an elegant setting.
