I interviewed at The Capital Grille (Stamford, CT)
Interview
The process was simple and straightforward, management are helpful and everyone is great, the servers and the bartenders seems to know what they doing and the kitchen guys are good as well
I applied online. I interviewed at The Capital Grille in June 2025
Interview
The manager at the Burbank California location acted very strange and was rather rude during the process. He asked lots of rhetorical questions, and was very prissy and stuck-up, (you know what I mean). The energy and environment at the place felt very off and I know that was stemming from him. He only focused on alcohol during the interview and upselling, and was trying to test my knowledge on the business side of the restaurant world, which was not at all related to the position I applied for. His general demeanor was very rude and condescending. As a customer, if a server is constantly upselling to me, I would yell at them for for said behavior.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you upsell a margarita?
How so you upsell wine?
They really want to know about your generosity. And personality at the end of the day that is what it is about, just be humble and be yourself. Remember that all ships rise together through the tides.
