Ā Ā Ā Read moreFinally got to try out Capone's in Eldon. Here's the scoop.... Went early for some drinks and we were not disappointed. We tried a few different ones and the presentation as well as the flavors were really good! Adding the "smoke" for an extra buck was worth it as it is not something we do at home. Drink prices were fair but a little on the higher end. We had looked at the menu on-line and they require 24 hr notice for steaks. Ordered the filet mignon which came out perfectly cooked but the trimming could have been better as there was still some silver skin and gristle. The steak came with baked potato which was great. We all had dinner salads that were good with a nice mix of greens. The mixed veggies, which came with all of our meals, were way overcooked and none of us ate them. Tomato soup came with all of or meals as well and was ok. One in our party had the grilled cheese which was also ok but kind of underwhelming considering it was on a dinner menu. Another ordered the brisket beef dip and he only ate about a third, saying that it seemed that it was cut the wrong direction and was chewy. The steak came with chocolate cake for dessert and it was AMAZING. Overall, the three of us concurred that Capone's was worth the trip and would probably give them another shot. Especially for the area. The location is good, the service was great, the drinks were on point and the dessert was wonderful. The menu and food quality could use some attention in our humble opinions. It was a bit chilly in there and the bartender (owner?) could smile a little more..... Hopeful for this place as they have some cool ideas. Just need a little tweaking, which we are certain they will...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe went for mom and Dad's anniversary with our aunt and uncle. The experience was fun and friendly and the food pretty good. Mom didn't get in her fancy orders but they were still able to provide. The Braechitte was yum! The brownie at the end was yum. Mim said the Ribeye had great flavor and my uncle said the mai mai tuna was pretty good. The bum part was for the price you pay, the food didn't match up even with the side salad, soup, and brownie. It was good... Trust me. Dad got the Italian beef and was very disappointed. My dad doesn't pick at food and half the sandwich was left behind. He believes they made it too early while they were making the other plates so it was under a warmer. The dip was luke warm and the sliced beef still has the grisle in the center so it wasn't shaved quite right. The bun was cold so the cheese didn't stay melted. Overall, it was a good meal, the waitress was a bit new and made a comment that bummed me out. We wanted to pay since it was mom and Dad's anniversary and her comment was "you must be rich". Sad face.. yes, we work hard and no we aren't rich but yes, we love our family and covered the meal. I would suggest going for the experience, but be prepared to spend a pretty penny but take your time.. the cost covers your time...
