Capitol Restaurant

Love it here! The service is so friendly and the food is exceptional, with fresh locally sourced produce. The vibe is relaxed with moody, ambient lighting. Great for couples and small groups. Highly recommend a visit.

Food is always good there. Impeccable service and tasty menu and always evolving. Being regulars, it always has been consistent good service, food and wine selection. Great boutique restaurant for special occasions or if your just looking for simple tasty food. The wagyu beef fillet is my favourite paired with polenta and adding a spinach sautées side. The toffee pudding and strawberries Pavlova, delicious with a glass of sherry.

Always a nice dinner with great service. We tried the WOAP cocktail, festival dish and burger. We also shared the calamari which was the best thing we had. Their calamari is so light and soft with wonderful flavor. I don’t known what magic they are weaving with their calamari, but it’s definitely worth going there to have it. The festival dish was not amazing and has a very strong fishy seafood flavor. The burger was nice, but nothing special.

Wonderful dinner at Capitol tonight. Wait staff are knowledgeable, thoughtful and friendly without over serving. Mine really knew the wine list and could make recommendations. Food was outstanding and flavourful. Lamb cooked to perfection. Clients were friendly and engaged, really a plus in a small restaurant. Thoroughly recommend. Ka rawe!

We were looking for a place to have an easy stress free European dinner after a long day. The dishes were fantastic, Eye fillet was perfectly cooked with a fantastic gratin and beautiful pesto. Side potatoes were more on a rusty side with roasted to a point of fluffiness inside and crunchy skin on the outside. I also tried my friend’s special of the day veal in the bone which was extremely tender and melt in the mouth.

The reason I gave 4 stars us that the restaurant was too busy and they really need to have at least 1 more staff. I ordered cranberry juice but got something else, possibly grapefruit as it was pink but citrusy… We were told that someone would tell us the specials, but no-one came to do so and we had to remind the waitress to do so when she was taking the order. We arrived at the restaurant at 8.30 pretty hungry and only got the food at 9.55, which was a very long wait especially for a late sitting. I understand of course that they were super busy, but I believe the management needs to make sure that there is enough stuff available for those nights.
