Coconut Cream Pie

While in town for a conference, we decided to have dinner here since it was so close to our hotel. The vibe was affluent and the service was exceptional! Jeff was our waiter and he was absolutely amazing. He was full of life and extremely knowledgeable of everything on the menu. The food and drinks were fantastic!

Bone-in Ribeye (22oz) - $85 as of  4/2025

One of the better steaks I've had in recent memory! Wait staff was friendly and attentive and the food came out pretty quickly. Items we ordered as of 4/2025: - French Onion Soup - $15 - While it's not the best French onion soup we've had it was pretty good. Plenty of cheese and the size was probably one of the largest I've seen so value wise it's pretty good. The soup itself wasn't bad but we felt like the flavor could have been stronger. Would still recommend (especially to share). - Truffle Fries - $13 - Really good fries. Obviously a truffle oil was used but the flavor was good nonetheless! Quantity was also good for the price. Would recommend for truffle and fry lovers. - Roast Beet Salad - $16 - Loved the goat cheese that came with the salad. Quite refreshing though the beets weren't anything special. We would still order this again! - 10oz Fillet Mignon (+Addition of lump crab) - $67 + $24 - Cooked to a perfect medium rare and very tender (as one would expect!). Wife enjoyed the crab a lot and would order it the same way next time. The crab really helped diversify the texture and flavors of the filet. - Bone in Ribeye Steak - $85 - While by no means cheap, it was extraordinarily tender with a great distribution of fat spread throughout. Cooked perfectly and was terrific. Would highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I celebrated Valentine's Day with a dinner at The Capital Grille this weekend. There is a public parking lot right next to the restaurant fyi! We had a reservation for 6:15 and were seated quickly after checking in. It was dimly lit and had a lively ambiance like all their locations. Immaculately clean bathrooms, too! I asked about a drink they used to have on the menu and the bar made it for me with no issue, and my boyfriend ordered a strawberry lemonade (they are so good here). For dinner I had a filet mignon and he had the porcini-rubbed bone-in ribeye, both of which were divine. So tender, so juicy, they melt in your mouth. The ribeye is super flavorful. We also shared the mashed potatoes which are always creamy and delicious. Not a single complaint! To finish our meal we had the cheesecake. They added lots of fresh berries and sauce, as well as chocolate covered strawberries (my fav)! It's so rich and yummy. Once we were finished our server brought us a rose, which is such a cute touch. Overall the food is worth every penny, the service was wonderful (thanks to our server Katherine for making our night so special), and we had a perfect Valentine's Day

Our family of four came here for Thanksgiving Dinner. We were served by a man and his son. It was the best hospitality and despite the busy Thanksgiving schedule, our food was also prepared to perfection. It was super organized and well managed. I would recommend The Capital Grille for a lovely evening out. Coconut cream pie Calamari and peppers Ribeye and NY strip Mashed potato Brussels sprouts

Classic steakhouse with some Northeastern touches. My family are Capital Grille people: we go every Boxing Day, love their Dine Out Boston deal, and never miss the generous wine pour event. It's dark and spacious, with booths for small groups and curtained-off tables for big family dinners (perfect for some privacy). It's lively, but you can't make out your neighbor's conversation which I appreciate. I know it's a chain, and yes, its siblings are LongHorn and Olive Garden, but Capital Grille is the classy one in the family, and it's consistently good. For starters, I love the tuna tartare, and if you ask, they'll usually do steak tartare off-menu. The wedge salad and French onion soup are staples. Entree wise I usually order the strip medium rare, but the lamb is honestly underrated and might be my favorite thing here. Seafood entrées aren't really for me and they just make me jealous of everyone else's plates. The lobster mac is our family's go-to side and is always the first side dish cleared, even when we order multiples. Other hits are the creamed spinach, creamed corn, and Brussels sprouts (apparently I just like anything creamed here). Fantastic martinis. I always get at least one Stoli Doli. For dessert, crème brûlée is the way to go. It's not a life-changing meal, but it's consistently very good, and for me it's tied to a lot of family memories. If you buy a bunch of gift cards for gifts they will usually give you steak knives which is a nice bonus!

This was our first time to this location, we frequent the location in Chicago. As anticipated, the food was delicious, service impeccable and the ambiance amazing. The served us a complementary crème Brûlée and sparkling wine to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This is an excellent steakhouse and we highly recommend it. Thank you for having us!

Carpaccio special

Our server Molly made our first experience at this restaurant an amazing one - and ensured it won't be our last. She was INCREDIBLE! The food was delicious and we had a great time. Definitely make sure you save room for dessert. Also a great place for wine lovers!

A very popular, long-established Greek restaurant in Boston. Last time I walked in and was told…read morethere would be a two-hour wait, but this time I made a reservation and finally got to enjoy a delicious meal! Tiropita Rolls: Very straightforwardly delicious. The bread was warm, soft, and airy, with a rich aroma of butter and cheese; the spread was a rich blend of honey butter, and olives, sweet and delicious, perfect as an appetizer. Tzatziki: A slight disappointment. The cucumber and Greek yogurt spread was surprisingly heavy, a bit cloying, and the pickled kumquats weren't as sweet as I expected, but rather had a slightly bitter taste. The pita bread was thick and soft, probably better suited for dipping in soup--like Bourdeto--than for the spread. Bourdeto: The tomato fish soup was a pleasant surprise. The freshly caught grouper of the day was thick and tender, lightly seared to create a crispy crust. The broth was a vibrant, tangy tomato base, with onions, fennels, and red peppers contributing a sweet, layered flavor. Trahanas, fermented wheat and dairy, added richness and a smooth texture to the soup. The broth also had a slight spiciness, making it incredibly comforting on a chilly autumn day. Portokalopita: The dessert that elevated the entire meal. A traditional Greek orange phyllo, the cake, made from crumbs of phyllo pastry, becomes incredibly soft and moist after being soaked in orange syrup. Every bite was bursting with rich orange sweetness and fragrance, followed by a slightly bitter orange zest--perfectly balanced. Paired with Manouri cheese ice cream, the creamy flavor was incredibly rich and creamy, creating a harmonious and layered flavor profile.

We chose to sit outside; it was a chilly fall evening when we went last year, but we got some lap blankets which was a nice touch, so brownie points for service. My friend and I split the pastitsio (meat pasta dish), kotopoulo (a chicken dish), louza charcuterie, and tiropita (halloumi rolls). The rolls were stuffed with halloumi and were dense in the best way possible. Coupled with the louza charcuterie, the appetizers were a hit. The two entrees were small but mighty - they were packed with rich meats but also featured microgreens, herbs, and other tangy, bold flavors that really balanced the dishes. We got some glasses of Greek orange wine that I can't remember the name of but it paired excellently with the food per our waitress's recommendation. Overall, a solid Greek option if you're in Back Bay! But definitely make a reservation if you can.

Absolutely stunning view of Boston on the 17th floor of Raffles hotel. High end decor and artful and elegant setting. Service: Professional, attentive, knowledgeable and easy to find. Tea was warmed. Opinions and pairs offered when asked. Food: lovely tower. Filling -- neither scant nor heavy serving sizes. Sweets were a standout, especially the chocolate kouignette. The savory was very good. Nice dab of caviar on the cucumber sandwich. Drink: we had the mango and greens spritz to start off. So fleshing and subtly complex. I had the grand jasmine tea, and it was a wonderful bouquet on the nose. Price: This will set you back a bit more than some but done better than the same priced or close to it when considering service and ambience. Valet parking is $40. Garage next door is $25. Though if you're paying this price and having this experience, the extra $15 might not matter. I'll be back for special occasions.

So, I decided to treat myself to a solo lunch. I began with the mixto ceviche, which was a refreshing and vibrant dish. The fish was exceptionally flavorful and perfectly complemented the onion and peppers. The shrimp was fresh, full of flavor, while the octopus was a bit tough, still enjoyable. The sauce was a tad heavy and thick for my taste, and the portion size was a bit small considering the price. On the bright side, the chips were light and incredibly tasty. I also ordered the Costillas de Cerdo. The sauce was excellent, and a few bites were oh so good. The disappointment came in the ribs themselves -- the meat didn't come off the bone easily, which made working through the dish more effort than it should have been. This place truly impressed me with its exceptional service, especially considering my allergies. My server proactively approached the kitchen and communicated directly with them, demonstrating remarkable attentiveness and care. Their prompt response and willingness to accommodate my needs without any hassle made a significant difference. The friendly and accommodating nature of the server throughout the entire dining experience made it feel effortless to enjoy a solo meal. Three stars for now -- great flavors and genuinely caring service, with a few misses on execution and portion for the price.

I suppose given its smallish size, you could consider it a cafe... small in size, smallish in menu, big in variety, flavor, service. Evidently being near several theaters, if you arrive for dinner late afternoon, you may be asked if you have any time dependencies. This is a nice touch, I wish more restaurants did this. It works, no one around us seemed rushed to get through their dinners. Cocktails are limited but delicious. The menu is somewhat small as well. Instead, I went with an evening special, lamb chops and sauteed spinach on a bed of pureed parsnip. We also asked for an appetizer of their brussels sprouts to be served as a side. The waitress said sure, but the sprouts still came out quite a bit before our meals. We said we'd be good and have only one each and save the rest for dinner. FAIL! Crisped just right, served with celery salad, and a properly spicy sauce, I think we finished them in less than 3 minutes. The dinners were equally satisfying. We passed on dessert foods and drinks, but if we had had room, there were lots of tempting items. Because of the restaurant's size, reservations are not a bad idea at busier times. Few tables were ever empty, and as we left, a short wait list was beginning.

The shrimp was cooked perfectly but the seasoning was on the bland side and too little sauce. It did have a nice brightness on the lemon and butter.
