text: Eight of us went to Capital Grille last night for our Christmas Dinner since of the eight will be traveling for Christmas elsewhere We picked Capital Grille for a really special occasion While it was nice it did not live up to what we have come to expect of Capital Grille in other locations mainly DenvernnIt started out when the waiter gave us an iPad to pick our wine That was a great idea to really have an up to date wine list No the wine we ordered and told what a nice pick it was by our server was not in stock Server recommended another wine which was very good Ordered calimari appetizer that was excellent Then we ordered our main coursennTwo of us ordered salmon oscar The salmon was very mediocre We should have known it is a steak place after all The rest of us ordered steak Without exception the steaks were over cooked One of which was so well done it was sent back The situation was handled very well They brought out another steak as well as hot sides to go with it Good recoverynnWe ordered desert One of the orders was the chocolatehazelnut cake The waiter came back apologized that the baker that made the cake was not in an substituted flour less chocolate cake and cheese cake He was old that my daughterinlaw did not much care for the flour less cake but enjoyed the cheese cake Another nice recovery he brought out another portion of cheesecake in a take home box for her Note the coconut cream pie is to die fornnFirst it was not the perfect evening one would expect for the prices charged Second I am a business coach and I could not help thinking what these mishaps were costing the restaurant to try to make right It was just a matter of not paying attention to detail
