Chevy Chase​のベストステーキハウス

We had our Thanksgiving dinner here for four people. We were seated 10 minutes after our reservation time, which was impressive considering how many people were there. The ambiance was nice, we were able to converse easily. The service was excellent, attentive but not intrusive. We all had steaks instead of the Thanksgiving traditional dinner, so we cannot speak to that. Steaks and sides were delicious, and cocktails very nice.

Reservations is a must during a holiday like today. Only had to wait a few minutes before our table was ready. Our server (Camille?) was impressive being able to balance so many plates, but she also kept our drinks filled. Some cuts of meat were dry (lamb chops, pork belly, and bottom ribeye) and some (sirloin and garlic sirloin) were perfect. The tomahawk steak (entree order) was cooked perfectly and big enough that we (party of four) had to take the rest home. While it was quite noisy, it’s understandable given the day. Overall, I felt I had a pretty good experience.

Thanksgiving dinner was excellent. We had the turkey dinner. The food came out hot, seasoned with flavors of Thanksgiving. Our server Heather was very nice and just a joy for the special occasion. I was also celebrating my birthday. Our steak came out a little late; it was cooked to perfection the way we ordered it. Heather gave us a slice of complimentary pumpkin cheesecake (delicious) since the steak came out late. She was very apologetic but it was very busy so we totally understood. Plus it’s Thanksgiving. She was serving us and not with her family with the most pleasant attitude. I highly recommend Capital Grille for any special occasion. The hostess stand staff can be a little more inviting. Overall great experience and dinner.

Both the sign-in crew at the entryway podium as well as the wait staff in the dining room were exceptionally helpful and accommodating to me when I came very early for my reservation. And, then, once my guest arrived, the wait staff continued to go above and beyond. Many menu options tempted us and we were pleased with our choices -- good looking and delicious!

We had a party of 7, and the service was attentive, and the food delicious. 6 people had steaks, and 1 had the vegetarian option (portobello mushroom). The mushroom portions were a bit small compared to the steak, but that is the only area for improvement to mention. The steak, frites, salad, bread and wine were exceptional. We will definitely go back, to include for large party dinners. Thank you Medium Rare Bethesda!
