Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
How guests are treated dominates the conversation here — it comes up in 70% of the 23 reviews. How guests are treated tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.4 stars. After that, value for money appears most often — 22% of the corpus, averaging 4.2.
5 stars is the modal score, given by 17 of the 23 reviewers who rated. The split is 18 positive to 1 negative across 23 rated reviews, with 4 in the middle. Conspicuously absent: portion size, which no reviewer brings up.
On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (90/100), with 1 high-priority and 2 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. That inspection was on June 26, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. That puts it ahead of 42% of graded kitchens in Orange County. Among the items recorded were storage & handling of clean equipment and utensils and single-service and single-use items.

Ambiance chic et feutrée, bel endroit pour un dîner

I’ve dined at several Capital Grille locations and have come to expect exceptional quality and service for the premium prices. Unfortunately, the Orlando location fell short on both the food and the overall experience. My Chilean sea bass was rubbery and bland, served in a watery demi-glace that lacked any meaningful flavor. The fish itself showed no proper searing and was missing the flakiness and taste one expects from this dish. Similarly, the filet mignon arrived without a good sear and was slightly overcooked for a requested medium. Both entrées also lacked thoughtful presentation. The pacing of the meal was off as well — sides arrived far too late, allowing the main courses to cool, and the overall wait time for food felt excessively long, especially if dishes are prepared sous vide. That said, the manager did stop by to check on us. When I mentioned the pacing issues, he genuinely listened and comped the sides from our bill. I appreciated this attentive and customer-focused response. I hope the Orlando team uses this feedback to improve, because I’d genuinely like to return and have a better experience in the future.

Amazing food as usual. It's melt in your mouth meats and the sides are always to die for. Get the Mac and Cheese.

A great place for steak on a special occasion.

I am very disappointed , I was feed undercooked food to the point I end up getting sick and food poisoning. I gave them a try but they definitely failed I tried to avoid the bad reviews but getting sick off the food made me have to leave this review .
-
Always a fantastic meal. A bit pricey but the quality of food is top notch
-
I was a fan of Capital Grill trying every possible one around the country. Sadly quality, elegance, care, and service are decaying. Taking orders wrongly, Manager with not the best manners, food not as ordered, service somewhat uncontrolled. I think they will have to go back to basics or they will loose a lot. No photos needed.

I love Captial Grille, as someone who is from MD it was a pleasure to visit Orlando's after going to the DC and Baltimore locations multiple times. The Doli never misses a beat and was a great place to meet up with my friends.
-
Great food. You will spend but this is great for anniversaries and any celebration. The service is above beyond.
-
Josiah and Brett were absolutely amazing. Great service, great food and great hospitality.

Our food was bland like hospital food. My porter house steak was the only thing of my families meals worth chewing, it was awsome but, it had no flavor. I know we took pics but not of the food it was trash. Everyone with my table of 16 was upset at the taste of their meals. I spoke with the waiter and he laughed and said next time we return to ask for extra seasoning. I said he'll much as I paid you should have told me upfront. I told him I hadn't been there before. Either way I will try Okc's but not Orlando's again. I wonder what #Shaq orders 🤔 👀

Food was excellent, I had the salmon. It was done just right. The server was gracious and quite accommodating and even brought us roses 🌹. The only drawback were the prices but we comforted ourselves by the fact that the food tasted so good and the superb ambiance and service.
-
From the decoration to the food, the experience was emaculate. I really enjoyed the filet mignon was perfectly grilled, the accompanying sides, and deserts were fulfilling. The wooden furnishings gives it a prestige classic vibe. Private rooms availabke for events. We felt the service was attentive, but the watering staff appeared gloomy and unfriendly.

My fiance and I spent our 11th anniversary and it was an amazing time. Atmosphere is gorgeous, parking was handled for us, and the service was top notch. Highly recommend being served by Ray, he was amazing, tentative, and made our night such a celebration. If you like blue cheese, I highly recommend the Gorgonzola crusted NY strip, it was heavenly.

First visit. Food was delicious. Our server Ray, was the best! Very attentive and professional.
-
Amazing! The food was incredible! The service impeccable and the atmosphere warm and welcoming!
-
The food is always astonishing- that’s a given. But what truly makes a difference is the service. Everyone is so kind and knows how to take care of you and make your night special. Specifically, Line Lorenzen was exceptional. She went above and beyond to make sure my husband’s coming home from Navy Officer School was perfect. Thank you!!

We celebrated a graduation at The Capital Grille on Idrive last night. My husband and I have been coming here every year to celebrate our anniversary and birthdays, and we’ve always loved the restaurant. Unfortunately, this visit was not a great experience. I called a week in advance to reserve a table in the wine room for a party of six and was assured it would be available. However, when we arrived, we were told the room had been booked by someone else and we were moved to a different area, which was quite loud. Additionally, our waiter was very rushed and pushy, repeatedly urging us to place our drink and food orders. It made the evening feel stressful rather than enjoyable. Overall, this experience was disappointing and not what we’ve come to expect.

Darius is our go to server when eating at this location. He always takes great care of us, and the food is fantastic. If you’re looking for a great dining experience, reserve a table with him.
