I enjoyed the food and the ambiance. It is also located right across from the Downtown Courtyard where I was staying.The bar was certainly classy as was the restaurant. The only negative is that it is a bit pricey.

service was excellent. We were there for the Dine Downtown week, which meant very crowded, but we were treated extremely well. The choices on the small cheaper special were basic but the food was excellent. The regular menu was very large and had everything you expect from a fine steak house. The bar was not on their game and one... More

The bartender was great and so were the drinks. When we were seated we enjoyed calamare, very well done and no surprise we all had steaks. As always... More

We have eaten at Capital Grilles in other cities and the food is always good. This week is Downtown Dining Week. For $30 per person we had salad, filet, choice of sides and dessert. Everything was outstanding as usual. This is a great value for those of you who haven't experienced it--but hurry!

I've been to this Restaurant a couple of times in recent years & have not been disappointed. It's not what I'd call cheap, but I do consider it god value. Good Steak, good Wine, good service.

This place was recommended by our hotel as the best place in town for a customer dinner, and it didn't disappoint. The food was fantastic, the service was impeccable. Would highly recommend.

The last two times I was in Milwaukee for business, we went to dinner as a group to Capital Grille. Each time, we had a great experience. Location - downtown within walking distance to most hotels and businesses. Valet parking. Service - Excellent. Food - Delicious. Options for everyone from vegetarian pasta (yes, at a steak house), to ahi tuna,... More

The service was almost too much as the waitress talked very much. But overall very good food (big portions) and great experience.

My experience at The Capital Grille was first class from start to finish. If only every restaurant adopted service and quality of food like this! A MUST try. No exceptions.

We had a great experience there - the steaks, from the filet to the bone-in ribeye were excellent. We also had the fresh lobster as a table enhancer and it was terrific. We would highly recommend the calamari appetizer. The waiter was great and had several suggestions that helped make the experience for us, from the lobster preparation to tips... More
