I have been coming to Capitol since July of 2015. Just two months after they opened. Not once, not ever have I had a bad meal!! I have tried everything on the previous menu and almost everything on the new menu. I love the the staff, Rachel, Kate, Zach, Adam and on my birthday (July 29th) I met Julie! Greg and Chef Wayne are amazing people who know how to have great staff and create incredible food and atmosphere! I will never stop singing your praises! You deserve every award and praise for what you have created. I love you all and the food!! Oh my, not enough space to write about that too! Go and try! And be sure to tell them Diane Kathryn sent you! You will never regret going! I promise!!
We visited last night for the first time and were absolutely blown away by the service and delicious food! We were pleasantly surprised by the quaint and light atmosphere which was decorated with paintings from a local artist. The drink menu was full of great wines, cocktails and beer including local craft beer. The menu was to die for and when we received our food, it exceeded expectations. Very nice to have a place like this in Charleswood, close to home. I can't say enough good things! We had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely be returning again!
The Swizzle Styx had lunch here this week and it was excellent. The service was fabulous and the place was packed. The food was great and very generous portions. It’s a really cozy and lovely place with great food, highly recommend!
Started with the Caesar Salad, not bad but could have used a bit more garlic. Had the fish and chips... amazing!! Not greasy or heavy, wonderful home cut fries! The Grill Cheese short rib sandwich was a delight! The service was fantastic and we would recommend!!
Our first supper club visit and won't be the last. Service was great. Better than most places I can remember. I had the Capital burger and my gf had the fish and chips. Both were awesome. Everyone at our table of 9 really enjoyed their dinner. I am full and satisfied.
It's kind of upscale without being pretentious. I had the burger and fries and split a lemon tart. Everything hands down awesome! Seasoning on the fries is addictive. For sure will go back.
Capital Grill and Bar serves upscale bar food in the middle of Charleswood. It takes a concept of the local bar and grill and one ups it by offering nuanced and at times unique combinations that one would not expect. And while some of the items were under seasoned the food altogether was tasty, elegantly served and appropriately priced. Worth a visit.
A Winnipeg blog about the joy of preparing food for loved ones and the shared joy that travel & dining brings to life. The high cost of living elsewhere in Canada is proving fortuitous for the Winnipeg culinary scene as Chefs and restaurateurs who have ventured to Toronto and Vancouver return home. Such was the case with Greg and Chef Wayne Martin
The fish and chips are unreal! I've never dined in but the take out service is prompt and the staff is very friendly! My coworkers have told me the soup is to die for and the burgers look delicious
Best soup I have ever had (butternut squash) it's sweet and creamy and nutty. I had a spoonful of my moms and ordered my own cup because it was so good. Then we split the beet salad, which was delicious. and then we split the angus burger. It was honestly one of the best burgers I have ever had. the meat is juicy and flavourful and the waiter gladly substituted the bacon for avocado which made us very happy. The atmosphere is a causal yet upscale mix with a really cool vibe. The waiter was beyond attentive and very friendly. My mom goes to capital every second week! This was my first time, and I have already made reservations to go back next week. My new favourite Winnipeg restaurant!
The high cost of living elsewhere in Canada is proving fortuitous for the Winnipeg culinary scene as Chefs and restaurateurs who have ventured to Toronto and Vancouver return home. Such was the case with Greg and Chef Wayne Martin. Dining with a good friend at the Capital Grill meant that we could share plates when we were both undecided as to what to order for the appetizing menu of “renewed classics”. The linguine caught the attention of both of us. Neither of us are vegetarians but the promise of roasted cauliflower, tomatoes, capers, preserved lemon and crisp shaved fennel was so tempting. In the end we opted to go healthy with a Beet Salad adding both goat cheese and chicken breast but also treat ourselves with short rib poutine.
We enjoyed our meal. The food and service were great. The chicken breast was crispy and moist. Lemon tart was a classic hit. The grilled cheese sandwich substituted with avocado was bland.
Had their signature burger, Capital burger with home-style fries and a ice cold Little Brown Jug draft for happy hour, it was excellent! I wasn't expected much, but it was very tasty and filling. Kind of a non-descipt strip mall building on the outside, but cozy lounge/restaurant inside. Has a outdoor patio, but it's winter and it was stacked with snow.
Good location. Dedicated parking spots available for the restaurant's customers. I always feel welcome as the boys are very polite. Especially the one who receives, gentleman with the glasses. I don't know why I took longer reviewing their business. most of people are losing temper or not giving good customer service so this has to be appreciate who doesn't loose their cool and have smile and be polite.I wish them good luck in this hard phase. To people I wanna request please keep supporting businesses like this one as not only they serve good food, organise their place which makes you feel welcome even if you are just picking up but also provide good customer service
Recently had an extraordinary dinner at this fine restaurant. The service was exceptional and they went out of their way to make this experience fantastic. It was a 50th birthday for a great friend. We had such an amazing time together, the atmosphere was awesome. Loved it!
Great pickerel with veggies. The lemon tart was a perfect compliment to the meal.
Had the Rigatoni, it was simple but very good! Patio looked really nice, will have to try it out come summer when it's not covered in snow. Little pricey but nice place and friendly staff
Great food, atmosphere and staff. Very welcoming. One small suggestion for the chef, for the clams appetizer, if you can serve some bread that will be wonderful. They will go hand in hand other than the fries although individually, the fries were great :)
I absolutely love this restaurant. Had a Halibut with the Honey glazed beet purée and lemon butter sauce and it was so rich and flavourful. The Halibut was cooked to perfection. Food & Service 5 STARS!!!
Wow. After a long and hot day of 'touristing' around town, we came to Capital Grill and Bar based on the reviews: not disappointed!
Service was great, and the resteraunt itself was beautiful. Loved the local art that decorated the walls. The food definitely matched the quality of the decor too!
I had the pork schnitzel based on the server's recommendation and could not have been more pleased. Blew me away. My fiance had some manner of open-faced burger (can't recall the name), and was happy with that as well.
I think i will stop here when I head back to Winnipeg!
