The Capital Grille

What little gem, not much to look at, but good and service good, at prices you can't beat.

Not many breakfast selections in this area, glad we stumbled upon it.

This is approximately my 10th time going to this restaurant. Each time there has been several things wrong: food, and service. The service has always been terrible. I go solo after a doctor appointment as a treat but no more.

This time, a new manager named Aaron asked to pick up my check as I was chewing. There should be a law against doing so and swallowing that last potentially delicious morsel quickly to answer the dingbat's question. The waitress could not understand that when I said no ice, I meant no ice in water. She did not ask me about anchovies on my Caesar salad. What is a Caesar salad without anchovies? The salad itself did not have the wonderful croutons of prior salads. The 8 oz fillet mignon was over seasoned and I was barely able to get down the bites. The manager said "next time tell the waitress not to over season." There won't be a next time. Believe me. For a $60 solo lunch I can do better.

Prices are up at restaurants but delivery is awful!

Excellent excellent service. Lovely meat plates. The pasta we ordered for the younger members of the group came cold both times unfortunately. The wine recommendations were great. We would definitely go again.

Underwhelming and slow meal tonight at the bar. Tuna tartar had zero flavor. I worried that I had covid for a second it was so tasteless. This location seems to be hit or miss. And can never keep up with the crowd despite being a 1/4 the size of every other CG location.

Shaun (sp?) was our waiter, and was one of the best I've had in many years.

I told Shaun that I wanted a juicy steak with plenty of flavor. I wanted it cooked so that the middle third was red and the outer two thirds were pink.

Shaun ordered me a Bone-In Ribeye. It was cooked to perfection and was one of the tenderest steaks I have ever had. However, it was not very flavorful. Maybe it just needed more seasoning.

The Lump Crab Cocktail was a dissapointment. The portion was large, but the crab had little taste and the mustard sauce just didn't have any zing to it. Overall, it just didn't come close to the crab I get in Southern Florida.

I took a bite of my wife's Veal Chop. The sauce was wonderful, but the meat itself was not impressive.

We ordered an order of Roasted Wild Mushrooms, which I found to have very little taste, and my wife thought were gritty.

I enjoyed the Cheese Cake dessert quite a bit. Good proportions of cheese, cake, whipped cream, and strawberries. We were not impressed with the Chocolate Cake.

The room was quiet enough to carry on a conversation without shouting.

Excellent meal and always is at the Capital Grill at Chestnut hill. The bar tenders always on point and excellent for anytime I visited. The cream spinach, potato au gratin 1/2 sides just enough of each. The steaks always cooked as ordered... what more may I say...

I had a great experience at the Capital Grille. I came here on a Monday afternoon as a party of 3 and was seated right away. I ordered the filet minion entree and had mashed potatoes for my side. I got the steak cooked well done, and while it was a bit dry, it still had a great flavor and the top was seared/seasoned well. The mashed potatoes were amazing! My buddy got the sliders, which looked incredible with a side of truffle fries. I desperately want to know who supplies Capital's potatoes and/or who is behind the counter, because those were the best fries I've ever had in my entire life. I'm still thinking about them. Good job TCG! I'll be back!

Our first time back since before COVID, and it was as good as we remembered! The service was amazing, as always - they perfectly balance being professional, attentive, and knowledgeable while also being friendly and welcoming. The location has a unique, cozy charm that newer restaurants often lack.

Our steaks were amazing, tried the porcini ribeye - just wow! We were sad to hear Jeff left, he was a great guy,but we met the new GM Chris, he was very gracious and accommodating of my wife's dietary issues.

A dinner here is definitely not cheap, but it is always an experience to remember. I hope this place continues to be busy for years to come.

The french onion soup very good the steaks undercooked then overcooked not impressed at all 320.00 plus tip my wife and 3 kids itcwas my daughters birthday no one even pleasant all very quiet odd the manager was nice

Came here last week for lunch & Ms Denise was our server & she was amazing. She was very attentive and genuinely wanted to ensure we enjoyed everything about our experience here. She even served us our appetizers on sharing plates.

We ordered boneless ribeye and a bone in New York strip both were cooked almost to perfection.

The lobster Mac was very dry & had two pieces of lobster thrown on top, ms Denise did make sure they made it over for us.

The calamari was good and fresh

The mashed potatoes are always very good

I swear by the lobster and crab cakes as you can tell

The plate with the butter has dirty when it was served to me so I did remove a star for that because they should know better before serving it.

I come to this location fairly often and never had service like this. Actually I've had some quite terrible experiences. Including a server adding a $260 tip on my receipt after I had given him $260 in cash and management never even followed up with n regarding it.

I would definitely come back if mama Denise is working & wish Phuong never took $520 from me fraudulently
