Prices and Dress

The Capital Grille in Minneapolis offers relatively expensive entrees to its guests. A majority of the restaurant’s entrees range anywhere from 30-60 dollars, this is due to the fact that they use only the best spices, highest quality meats, and freshest ingredients. The portions are quite average compared to other restaurants in the Minneapolis area. But, it may be possible for two people to split one entrée, especially if they order an appetizer, salads, and a bottle of wine. Anyone that wants to have lunch and/or dinner at the Capital Grille should definitely expect to wear khakis or suit pants paired with a polo or dress shirt; this restaurant has a business-casual dress code. It is not uncommon to see visitors of this restaurant wearing a suit and tie, although a jacket is not required.

This restaurant is very sophisticated and perfect for business dining. The Capital Grille is also a nice place for couples and groups looking to have a delicious dinner and cocktails. This restaurant is also a great place to celebrate a special occasion. The Capital Grille offers private rooms for private dining that can accommodate up to 22 guests; they also semi-private dining that can hold to 50 guests. It is a great place to host a birthday parties and anniversaries, among other celebrations. The Capital Grille may not be suitable for huge corporate functions or other large events, due to the fact that their private rooms cannot hold a large amount of people. Reservations are recommended when wanting to dine at The Capital Grille throughout the week, but especially during the weekends; reservations can be made by calling (612)692-9000. They also offer valet parking, which is very convenient because it helps to alleviate a lot of stress from finding a parking spot. The Capital Grille, in my opinion, is not very kid-friendly. They mainly cater to older adults looking to have a quiet, sophisticated, and relaxed lunch or dinner.

The Capital Grille in Minneapolis is the perfect place to have a business lunch and/or dinner, perfect place to bring a date, and the perfect restaurant for a couple or group of friends looking to have high-quality steak and seafood accompanied with an award winning vintage bottle of wine. Great service and delicious food all in a beautifully decorated dining room, along with valet parking, makes The Capital Grille one of the best restaurants in Minneapolis.
