Capital Grille Costa Mesa Reviews
Came here in a party of 10 for a birthday.
The service was good and the bread basket was yummy. I ordered a cup of clam chowder and a Filet Mignon. The clam chowder was too thick while also not having much flavor, and the steak (ordered medium) was extremely rare. To their credit, when they s

I came in with a friend on Saturday for drinks at a place I frequent with clients and friends. The bar was fully reserved, so we were seated in the main dining room toward the back. While the servers were friendly and expressed that they wanted to pr
I came here for lunch and had excellent service.
I thought all the wait staff were wonderful and attentive. It's a little old school vibe wise but I kind of love that and miss it from the usual restaurants we typically go to--I guess you can say it's very steakhouse vibes. lol! The food
Here for a weekend girls trip with my friend & I.
Here's the rundown: Ambiance - very upscale, classy, old school steakhouse vibe. Had a reservation at 8pm & got seated fairly quickly. Service - upon getting seated, I swear nobody paid attention/served water/ greeted us for almost 15min.
Service, food and ambiance here is really up to par.
I love coming here at lunch as there are less people and you don't feel bad to take your time and literally take it all in. The duck fat fries with the steak is my literal go to and if you have a celebration they do it right here esp with their

The service was amazing and the restaurant is very beautiful. The food was just how I expected it to be. I love how they decorated my table and gave me a card and a rose for my birthday.
I was meeting a friend for lunch, I arrived at 11.
23am. I took the elevator from the ground floor because My right leg is in a walking cast. Even though I asked to be seated because of the cast I was told it was corporate policy not to seat people until 11.30. In pain I stood waiting. When my friend
The bread basket is worth coming alone! I had a filet
The bread basket is worth coming alone! I had a filet that was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes are so creamy and garlicky. By far one of the best steakhouses in the area. Service is as expected. Excellent.

Always a great experience at the Capital Grille.
One of our favorite restaurants! Steak is perfectly cooked, cosmos are perfect and dessert is spectacular. Definitely need to try the coconut cream pie! Service is always 5 star!

Came to Capital Grille for their $35 wagyu burger special and to celebrate birthdays. It was sooooo cute, they had our table decorated with birthday confetti! The GM, Joffrey came by to say hello and gave my friend and I each a single rose. He review
My favorite restaurant by far when it comes to the ambience.
The aesthetics are my absolute favorite. I love that my date was able to make a small request of a rose and heart confetti for our first experience there together. Food was incredible. We talked about coming back before we even left! Our waitress was
We came here for my birthday.
Jorge gave me the cake. How sweet ! I love the honey feeling . And yes I'm sure the wish will come true just on time.
First off, the staff was impeccable.
Our server, Autumn, was very amicable, yet beyond professional. The meal was excellent and served in a perfectly timely fashion. The sea bass was amazing
First time back in nearly 10 years, and it is sad to see
First time back in nearly 10 years, and it is sad to see how far this place has fallen. We ordered just about half of the items on the menu for our table, and I feel that it is disappointing to say that the beet salad was the best that they had to o

A CAPITAL good time! This is an incredible restaurant and was such a wonderful experience plus vibe. Came in for lunch at the bartop. Kari B, my server took stellar care and was very attentive. Highly recommend the French Onion Soup, Butter-leaf lett
Service was great but the food was lacking.
We had a group of 12 so I was able to sample several dishes. Seafood tower was nothing to write home about. The sea bass had a weird sauce to it. Salt and pepper would have been nice. I heard the filet mignon was good. I got the NY steak medium ra

Came here for the first time, just a date night, nothing special. Our server Dani was outstanding. She went through the menu, gave exceptional insights to the food and helped me decide between two drinks, the blackberry bourbon is perfection, btw. T
Totally Unimpressed
We dine at Flemings, Ruth's Chris regularly. Big difference. While the places are alike, it ends there. Greeting mediocre at the front podium. Great service from the wait staff. Food lukewarm. That's bread, spinach side and 18oz NY steak. L
Fabulous special occasion dinner
We went for dinner for a birthday and our anniversary, and we had an absolutely wonderful time. There was glitter and roses on the table with a birthday and anniversary card on the table when we arrived. Very nice touch! Our server, Carin, was experi

Always dependable service and food.

Birthday dinner

Steaks and more
A typical steakhouse with wooden decor and dim lighting. We shared the shrimp cocktail which was ok. My tenderloin was slightly overcooked but still tender and tasty. The coconut pie was very good. Good service 7/10
Great Food Great Takeout
My husband and I spent our 42 Anniversary with Capita Grill takeout since he experienced an injury not letting us eat out. The food was hot and delicious The portions were great and they included a desert board for our Anniversary. They really helpe
Great experience
Excellent food, excellent service, and great ambiance. We had the starter lobster crab cakes, followed by the Sea Bass and Filet Mignon, which were perfectly cooked and finished off with a Creme Brulee and latte coffee. All in all an excellent meal.
Just missed the Mark
We started off with a Jumbo crab cake, which was delicious. The crab meat was definitely prominent compared to the breading, which you see at a lot of restaurants. The crab cake came with a parsley aioli that was really simple and went very well with
Connect with users posting reservations for Capital Grille Costa Mesa
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Capital Grille Costa Mesa. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Capital Grille Costa Mesa at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Capital Grille Costa Mesa page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Capital Grille Costa Mesa to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Capital Grille Costa Mesa!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
