Our Server, Lizabeth, was perfect: attentive, helpful, but didn't hover. Had a fantastic bottle of Belle Glos Pinot Noir, and everyone helped us celebrate our birthdays in style!

Excellent as always, never disappoints. The service and food are always top notch. Highly recommend.

My husband and I ate lunch there and was impressed with the service and delicious flavors of the food. We will be coming back again! Jayleen L was our server and she was fantastic!

Excellent service. The filet mignon and the strip steak were prepared exactly as ordered. The salad was delicious. Oysters were my favorite.

I don't know why this chain doesn't have the cachet of other steakhouses. I've never had a bad meal here and last night was extra special. The service couldn't have been better and management was on top of things. I had the filet mignon with mushrooms and figs, and it was outstanding. My wife had the special lobster and enjoyed every bite of it.

Food was incredible and service was superior. Tuna entree was outstanding (best I'd ever had).

Always a fabulous experience. Not thrilled they now charge $10 for valet. At that price point I feel like it should be included. It will mean we don't go as often.

We have dined here many times and usually love the food and ambience. This particular evening was not a good showing. The staff were so stiff and scripted it was uncomfortable. It was awkward to see them work through their lines as they presented themselves and the menu. The steaks were not good, period. There was so much fat on the rib eye (and we get it, it should have some, that is so delicious!), we could probably not eat almost 1/3 of the steak. It was also not as tender as in previous visits. The prices of course are very high and we had theater tickets so were short on time, and we should not have to send something back, it should arrive correctly the first time. There are so many eyes on these meals, someone should have noticed 1/2 of the steak was fat. In addition, the parking situation is abysmal. Valet parking was through the phone, credit card only and took almost ten minutes to get our car with three valet attendants working who all seemed like they just arrived and had zero training. Overall, will not return to this location. Very disappointed in the clientele as well, felt like we were at the gym, not at a beautiful high end steak house. It is ok to have dress codes!

As always, it was a delicious meal, and very friendly staff. Capital Grille is always very reliable, and you know that you are going to get a good meal.

Reservation, hostess staff, and wait staff were top notch. Close to hotel and conference center were a plus as well. The wait staff member was great and made wonderful suggestions. We really enjoyed the service and meal. Keep up the great work.

My friends from California had a business trip to Boston and wanted to meet up with me on the way to New Yorck City. They asked me to recommend a place to meet for lunch. I thought of Capital Grille immediately. First for the food and service, and then the proximity to the highway. They enjoyed the food and was impressed with the wine inventory and told me it was a great recommendation. Capital Grille does not disappoint. Lunch, service and ambience were excellent. Thank you!

Dined here on Easter Sunday unfortunately, the staff up here to be prepared for the onslaught of holiday diners. Service was a bit slow and erratic. Food quality was atypical of capital grill standards. We changed our mind about ordering dessert and the server seemed annoyed by that fact.  Sadly, not a great overall experience for the money that one pays at Capital Grille

One of the nicest birthday celebration meals due to our amazing server Kristen. She was fun, hospitable, had great dinner suggestions and she never seemed intrusive to our table. Thanks Kristen & Capital Grille for a great dining experience!

Suzanne

Excellent service, fantastic food and a lovely atmosphere. They went above and beyond by bringing a yummy dessert plate for the celebration of our niece's graduation. They also took a photograph of the four of us and put it in a beautiful card nice to take home with us. Also the wine and cocktail menu was outstanding.

First time here tonight and our waiter Chris was absolutely phenomenal. Service was stellar, the food was absolutely delicious. The NY strip with Gorgonzola was a favorite and their flourless chocolate cake was excellent. I’d give this restaurant 10 stars if I could!

Dietary restrictions: Our gluten free friend could eat the prosciutto covered mozzarella, spinach, truffle fries(sooooo good) and Kona NY strip!
