Exceptional quality and service. I dine here at least once a month and have never had an experience less than perfect.

Fantastic, excellent, perfect. Fantastic staff ! The best.

Crackling fresh oysters, and the best caesar salad.

Best Steak au Poivre avaible. Unbelievably good.Filet Mignon melts in your mouth. Everything, prepared excellently.

One of the best dining experiences you'll have. There are other good steakhouses, but the Capital Grille delivers on every count, from service, to food, and decor.I was so impressed I wrote to the executive offices, and recieved an e-mail back within 24 hours thanking me for my compliments and business.

Again...great service. Thank you. Wonderful experience and highly reccomended.

cougars a la bar. The Capital Grille bar has been a known Cougar-hangout since I was a tike. Always older women with their compacts pushing skin back and fixing eyeliner. It isn't always a nice cougar hangout for the upscale hip cougars. It is far more bland. The rumor has actually always been tat some of these ladies are escorts waiting to meet men or with otherwise. Rumors I say!

In contrast, the food there is top notch for the city and the restaurant is just a great place to have dinner and cool to kickback at your table, as long as you aren't at the bar. This bar is very popular among a certain species so who am I to say no

GROSS & EXPENSIVE! NOT WORTH THE TRIP!. I had the worst meal of my life at the Capital Grille. First, let me say that the menu consists of Steak, Steak, Steak, and more Steak. There is very little seafood, 1 chicken dish, and 1 lamb dish. No pasta, whatsoever. I ordered the grilled swordfish, and it was terrible. My husband (who eats everything) even said it was disgusting and didn't want it. I couldn't even get my dog to try it when I brought it home. The appetizers are OK (we had the smoked salmon platter, though the salmon was more raw than smoked, but whatever.) We had reservations for valentines day, and they sat us at the smallest table you can imagine (about the size of a small end-table) and we were crammed into a room well past the fire code. The wine list was extensive, but they charged $54 for a bottle of wine that I have since picked up at the liquor store for $12 -- not on sale. Since I had to rate it one star at the least, I'm going to say that one star is for the $8 onion rings. Both my husband and my dinners were overcooked. (he asked for medium, he got blackened. I had to use a knife to cut swordfish. Our server was neglectful, and the man serving the next table over ended up waiting on us most of the night. Basically, if you're near any other restaurant, I'd recommend you go there instead of the capital grille.

A serious, superb steakhouse attracts high rollers and local celebs to the foot of Newbury St.. The Scene
It's a bull market every night as countless business types carouse over expensive steaks and drinks. A stuffy, members-only atmosphere takes nothing away from the dining experience. The amazing wine list has won "Wine Spectator's" Award of Excellence. Service is truly exceptional, as waiters take pride in their efforts.

The Food
Traditional, filling steakhouse fare is impeccably presented to beef-lovers of all stripes. The dry-aged steaks, hand-cut daily, are good enough to make you forget there's a real world outside the restaurant. As the entrees are served a la carte, huge portions of excellent sides (mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, sauteed mushrooms) are a must. Fantastic seafood dishes are available, but steak's the star here, especially the steak au poivre, which comes drizzled in cognac sauce. Exceptional desserts include an unbelievably light cheesecake and a pistachio-covered key lime pie

Best Meal In Boston. The Capital Grille has a great reputation around the country for a reason. The service was great. The place was full of life, and the food... All members of my party were extremely satisfied. My filet, the potatoes au gratin, the asparagus - all perfect. Quite honestly the best meal I have had in Boston. It's pricey but worth it.

no value for your $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. nice atmosphere and good food but NO VALUE FOR YOUR $$$$$$$$$.

this operation is geared for the expense account or high end customers with bucks to burn.

restaurant professionls do not eat at this operation and this should tell you something because of pricing.

Exquisite steak and the BEST Calamari!!. the service is okay.. I usually don't like chain restaurants, but The Capital Grille has managed to remain on the list of frequent places to go for me. I have tried it in different cities, but The one in Newbury Street (Boston) has just been the BEST!! The FIlet is the best I have ever had and I have been there four times and have the best of the experiences. The Calamari is jst SPECTACULAR (watch out if you don;t like spicy food, because then you will in trouble with the Calamari). I really like the quality of the meat at this place and will keep coming back, eventhough it is a chain restaurant. Don't waste your time ordering desserts, they are not good (nationwide). For some reason the chain must have problems getting the right patry chef. .

Perfect steaks and wonderfull service. I have been to many grills and this one is the best. The service was impeccable and the overall quality of the meals was outstanding. I started with the steak tartar and would recommend it to anyone. The menu had a very nice selection although I tend to pick up if there are any vegetarian meals at expensive restaurants, didn't see any here. Well I guess that would be another reason for them being famous for their steaks; not to mention cuisine to die for. I would highly recommend The Capital Grill to anyone who can afford it. If you?re like me and can?t really afford it, then it is worth saving up for.
