What an amazing Anniversary dinner at The Capitol Grille in Stamford.Such a nice surprise to see confetti and a sweet note at our table. Greeted with 2 glasses of prosecco and the nicest waiter Andreas who took care of our every need.Lobster crab cake was OUTSTANDING, calamari was really good but a bit spicy for us and the tuna tartare was yummy. Our steaks came overdone but they fixed it with no issue and they were delicious. I had the tomahawk veal chop and hubby had the rib eye, we split the creamed corn and mashed. Again, delicious.Do not pass on the coconut cream pie. All I can say is OMG!!!!The food was fantastic and went from a 10 to a 20 because of the above and beyond service and special attention they showed us to celebrate.To end the evening the took a photo of us and presented it in a card with another lovely note.Kudos to you Capitol Grille. Well done - Lily “Lilylicious” Rohn
