| Comments: | The service here is unbeatable. I've never had anything but the best service in Kansas City. The steaks are always top-notch, but you HAVE to order the calamari, stoli doli (fresh pineapple-infused vodka),
and wedge salad (iceberg wedge, bleu cheese, bacon). They are, by far,
the best in town. |

| Comments: | The restaurant was crowded and noisy. I like shrimp scampi but theirs was so spicy I could not eat it. I like mushrooms but their mushrooms were so over-spiced with rosemary that I couldn't taste the mushrooms. I cannot believe that they charge so much for such substanmdard food. |

| Comments: | Mary Simpson, Managing Partner of KC's Capital Grille, personally insured that my birthday celebration was a night to remember. We choose a Saturday night as our first time to visit the Capital Grille, and it was packed. One of the most beautifully decorated restaurants we've been to, we had no idea the place was so popular - once seated we immediately understood. Mary and her staff at the front desk did a great job finding those to be seated in the busy bar. Mia was our server - the most superb we've ever had. She was so attentive and addressed our every need with grace. The food was unbelieveably fabulous, and the portions are large. I have and will continue to recommend the Capital Grille on the Plaza to friends, family and associates - everyone needs to experience this extraordinary place! |

| Comments: | I ordered the Del Monico steak with pepper sauce. I had no idea that I would be ruined for steak for the rest of my life. This is the steak that all others should be measured by. When I think steak ... this is all that comes to mind now. My wife had Salmon and LOVED it! |

| Comments: | May 20th, my birthday, we came from out of town to meet local family for a celabratory meal. We try a different place each time we are in town. Problem is, I will want to return here again and again. Our server understood what real service is all about. He showed us the dry aged beef in the back walk in. Very cool. Adam, you ROCK! Looking forward to my next opportunity. |
