Had a fabulous time today at the Capital Grill in Newtown. The bartender, Alara, was warm and welcoming and made the experience feel personal. Tried the Generous Pour wine tasting and dinner pairing and it was FABULOUS!!!! 10/10 definitely recommend, particularly the first course...OMG!!!! read more

Wow...sad to write this review. Our celebration dinner of six was a total disaster Saturday night. Such a shame bc we spent most of our dinner trying not to make a big deal and ruin the mood but it could not be helped. So instead of having a nice conversation the subject switched to flagging down the server, taste this and see what you think, is your soup warm, etc, and the overall buzz kill of our fine dining experience. Started with my cocktail...the drink I order every place (vodka gimlet martini) was over powered with lime juice. I could not drink it...had to send it back and I really think the same drink was just re-shaken and given back to me bc again I could not drink it the 2nd time. Darn I was thinking about my cocktail even before I got to the restaurant. I tried to sip a few sips and just left it. Never like me to not finish a cocktail! It was overly sweet and bitter. I have never had that drink so poorly made. Three if us ordered 3 different soups...all arrived luke warm to cold. Not enjoyable at all. Not the best butternut squash soup, either, it was too thick. We all just endured bc sending it back to be re-heated sounded like a bad idea at this point. And our conversation once again switched to discussing the poor temperature of the soup. Complimentary mini sampling of squash was served next. It was so tiny (could be served in a "Barbie doll dream house") but nonetheless, we appreciated the nice gesture. Next small tasting of lemon sherbet served. It was quite sometime until our dinner arrived. Took almost 2 hours from the time we sat down. It was uncomfortably long and conversation switched once again to what is taking so long? Now for the worst part of our meal... saw a picture of the Dry aged NY strip au Poivre with courvoisier cream and it looked incredible. Our mouth watering all day just thinking about ordering it. Hubby asked for sauce on the side as he can't really have the cream sauce. Waiter said no problem of course. No surprise that when the steak arrived, it was in a pool of that sauce and way more than what was in the picture. The presentation was a sloppy mess and every part of the steak covered in sauce. Far from the picture we saw. Right away, waiter realized his mistake and offered to make another...sending it back after waiting 2 hours was not an option for us. We just canceled and sent it away. Our side of fries were forgotten and never brought out. Had to cancel that order also. By this time an assistant manager came to our table and offered to package up a steak and send it home with us, but we were so turned off, we declined. He instead handed us a nice gift certificate, which we appreciated. We won't be using it for another dinner as we are writing this place off; however, their lunches and happy hour are very good, and we will use it then. On a good note, salmon, sea bass, and filet mignon were all very good. Another steak was not great and disappointing. Amazing just how busy this restaurant gets. Every table full on a Saturday night and every time I'm here it's always a full restaurant. For a fine dining experience we found it to be unreliable and not anxious to return. Also felt our business was not appreciated. They are so busy...they don't need us. It felt more like a factory assembly line. Unfortunately our memorable celebration will be a different kind of memory. read more

Great food here, pretty good selection of alcoholic drinks for a gathering after work. We were here for a retirement dinner for one of our colleagues, and it was a lovely choice! Lots of the menu was pre-selected, and everything was really good. Bread box had a great selection of bread options, including a really good hard flatbread thing. Appetizers were calamari and prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella, which were both tasty, as well as the salad starter. Good wine choice for dinner too, and the staff was very attentive and friendly. For dinner, I chose the dry-aged strip, which was perfectly cooked. The server was also great about telling everyone ordering how their chosen way of cooking would turn out (e.g., warm w/ red center for medium rare), and it was all spot on. We had mashed potatoes and asparagus as sides too, both also really good. I wasn't able to finish it there, so I took the rest back, which the servers packed for me - wow. Definitely a good spot, and would definitely opt in if there's another chance to go! read more

Good food. Good service. Arrived exactly at opening. Requested quick service. Got it without a hitch.

Stopped in for Happy Hour. Who would have thought? Capital Grille Happy Hour. Anyway we are regulars and had to investigate the Happy Hour offerings. Ambiance is Capital Grille a high end steak house. We sat at the bar and noted that others must have got the message as almost every bar seat was occupied. We got the last two seats. It was around 435pm on a Wednesday. The menu was quite nice with just about anything you might want. We ordered a couple of the Happy Hour martinis and then selected the sliced NY strip and the mini Caesar bitesI ordered the 10oz filet off the main menu. Our barkeeps were the usual - they know us and are professional and simpatico. My martini was perfectly prepared (as it usually is), but at a favorable price. We loved the Caesar bites, so light and tasty. Our steak dishes were also perfect. Value was excellent we escaped for -$140 including tip. Usually when we have a meal here it is double that at least We will return for Happy Hour again. Highly recommend a stop if you are not familiar with the place. Mark & Nancy. read more

Capital Grille lives up to its expectation and the brand it has established for itself that brand being top drawer from the second you pull up to the moment you leave every detail every nuance well cared for. The most polite, dedicated professional member of the team from the valet to our waiter and bus people. As a magazine photographer, Bucks County, I was taken by all of the beautiful photographic artwork from local historic scenes buildings and landscapes from around upper and lower Bucks. We had attended a financial planning seminar dinner on this particular occasion, and we're just blown away again by every detail of the experience. And outstanding menu from filet mignon to bone in chop to salmon the most interesting appetizers I believe it was a mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto as well as calamari with various peppers. We had the bone in chop cooked, medium rare. It was a thing of beauty on the plate. It was cooked to perfection same with the mashed potato side, and I'm a big fan of asparagus and they want my heart over with perfectly cooked and plated asparagus. Daniel, our main server in the room we were in was outstanding from his personality, his charm, his level professionalism, his appreciation. We will certainly be back for another dining experience!!!! read more

Capital Grille is a popular chain but they honestly had really good food. I went to a dinner here. I really liked how the Newtown location has so many different shops to visit around this area. The inside of Capital Grille has well dressed staff and I really liked the amount of space at the restaurant. I started with the bread basket. It was a mixture of breads both flat in nature and spongy. I also had a Field Greens Salad. I really liked the heirloom tomatoes and the taste of the Parmesan vinaigrette. For my entree, I had the Salmon. I really liked how the salmon came with green beans and these delicious cippolini onions. The onions were round and bursted in my mouth. The sides were delicious. The mash potatoes were super creamy and the spinach was the most amazing dish I had since it was almost milky tasting. The dessert consisted of Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake. I don't really like dark chocolate but I found this dish very interesting. I felt like the chocolate tasted better and different when mixed with a whip cream. This was the first time I've experienced a dish that tasted only good when each part was mixed evenly. read more

Great food and even better service! I really enjoyed the entire experience. The drinks were excellent as well. The best steakhouse in the area for sure! read more

Consistently serving great meals, this may be a chain yet the service at this Newtown location makes you feel welcomed and appreciated every time you dine. Andrew is a friendly and classy manager, the waitstaff and bartenders are always attentive and accommodating. Make your reservations as they are always busy. A+ read more

Burgers were initially served raw, not medium rare. The potato was warm, not hot. It had the consistency of glue. French fries were overdone, (hollow on the inside). Just a disappointment. However, our service at the bar was exceptional as always. We eat there with some level of frequency. What surprise us the most... On a good day, management always pops their head over to ask how things were. Tonight, no one in sight. read more

What a complete mess! To say the service was slow, would be gracious relative to this experience. I noted to the others that when we ordered the aged steak I didn't realize they meant aged while we were sitting at the table. Dinner took just shy of 3 hours, and we'd didn't order dessert. This aggravated by the fact that a cold draft was evident during the entire dinner. The food order was a disaster. Our strip stake was overcooked and smothered in a sauce which we had asked to be served on the side. When my wife took a bite of our strip steak she had to spit it out because there was so much gristle. Our side order never came at all. While we have been to the Capital Grille here in Newtown several times we usually find it to be a good experience. Only once before did our filet show up seriously undercooked. I think they tried to make up for it this time. My wife had ordered it medium well and what showed up looked like it was well on its way to becoming charcoal. (As we are both on a serious diet, we were splitting the steak and I foolishly accommodated her wish for a medium well cooking.) The evening was a complete disaster and a serious disappointment. I can only assume that the regular servers and cooks were scooped up by ICE. Needless to say, we will not be returning for dinner for quite some time. read more

My wife and I decided to give ourselves a treat so we cashed in some AMEX points and went to the Capital Grille. As usual we are happy that we did. I had my usual Bone in Ribeye extra rare which was cooked perfectly. The gorgonzola rub made it even better. The side of wild mushrooms were fantastic. I love mushrooms with a good steak. But the creme de resistance was something we did not expect for $55 a piece, Capital Grille had their unlimited wine pour available. we both got it. We had unlimited access to 4 different wines, 1 Rose, 3 Whites and 4 reds. They were all great and one of the reds went perfect with my steak. The bottom line is the Capital Grille is a great example of an old fashioned steak house, and the wine pour was an unexpected bonus. We will definitely be back. read more

We had dinner here to celebrate my daughter kicking butt in life. Our waitress was Savannah and she crushed it. Probably one of the best servers I have had in this area. She made everything better. My only negatives are it was really loud and service was a little slow. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and we had to wait 20-30 mins to be seated. read more

The Capital Grille - Strip was solid - Steakhouses Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

Three months ago we went to Capital Grill for dinner. While we had been to the Grill in other cities it was our first time in New Town, PA. Because of the food and staff we returned last night and it did not disappoint. Guillemo, I believe that was his name, our bartender, was excellent. He had a full house and still was able to service everyone and was so pleasant. Of special note, our server Scott, was exceptional. We had him the first time we went to the restaurant and specifically asked for him again. Always professional yet at the same time very personable. He made suggestions as to what we should order and it did not disappoint. Make sure, regardless of the excellent entrees, order some of the side vegetables. Creamed spinach and the mash potatoes are out of this world. Beware, they are not diet friendly nonetheless you must try them. When you go, make sure you have Scott take care of you. read more

Food was excellent, service was great, they now have twin sister waitresses that are definitely the best, our new go to spot.

Awful experience. We had a reservation and were 17 minutes late for a 4:45 reservation by time it was our turn at the hostess stand. Yes, I fully acknowledge we were late, but never expected what came next. They refused to seat us and told us they gave our reservation away and that it was their policy to not honor reservations over 15 min late. It was my husband's birthday and we had the kids all dressed up ready to celebrate him. We went back to the hostess stand before leaving to make sure we heard them right, that they would not honor in any way and they confirmed. We went over to Blue Point Grill and they were absolutely amazing and had a fantastic meal. read more

We came to celebrate our anniversary. They treated us well and of course the food was excellent. The manager Ken came over and made sure everything was to our liking. Our waitress Alexandra was professional and friendly. We shared the calamari appetizer. It was cooked perfectly and had the right amount of spice. My husband ordered the filet with mushrooms and I ordered the NY strip au poivre. Both were cooked according to what we ordered. I did not feel as if we ate at a "chain". It was so warm and friendly. We both had blackberry sidecars. Delicious. read more

Ok went on line anted to try the capital grille so we made reservations. Showed up on time and got nervous. Most men were wearing sport jackets and pants. I show up in shorts, a no tuck and hey dudes. Did not know if I was going to get in. They do have a sign that says fine dining proper attire required. I entered and they sat me no questions asked. Did see some guys wearing polo's and jeans. We ordered some drinks and they were delicious. Andrea had a passion fruit mojito and I had a blackberry infused bourbon. About $17 each. The interior is dark and feels upscale except for the noise coming from bar area. Our waitress was very nice and helped with our questions. They had a regular NY strip and an aged NY strip. Nobody laugh but I had to google the difference. I ordered the aged NY and Andrea had the filet mignon. Our sides were roasted mushrooms and lobster Mac n cheese. Food came out in a respectful time. Let me tell you something that stupid aged steak was amazing and the sides followed. After dinner they served us hot moist towels to wipe your hands with. For desert we split the coconut cream pie with a rum caramel sauce. Perfect size for two people and it was dam good. All in all great service and outstanding food. Total bill without tip $236 read more

I went here for my birthday and had a wonderful dining experience. The staff were very good. The only issue was the young man was so obsessed with making sure he cleared away dirty dishes and silverware that he took away my bread plate and butter knife before I was finished with them. The vibe was good, I really liked the decor and my wife and I laughed that we couldn't believe that this was a Pier One. We started with the lobster and crab cake. The steaks were delicious. Cooked perfectly as we requested. It is a rather expensive restaurant but well worth it. read more

First time at this location, but this is the 11th Capital Grille I've been to across the country. We thoroughly enjoyed The Generous Pour and our steaks were perfect. What set the night apart was our waitress Kate who made the night a lot of fun with her combination of personality and knowledge of the wines. We can't wait to go back! read more

Wow, I'm impressed. Haven't been here in a while so I forgot how spectacular this place was. First, I came in and was hit with an amazing ambiance. It gave chill vibes and the music there could calm anyone down. I already was having a good experience before I even sat at a table! Next, the waitress came. Her name was Kate Hipple and she was absolutely amazing. She gave us the most beautiful service with her patience, kindness, and thoughtfulness. Once, one of my family's drinks ran out and our waiter immediately refilled it. We didn't even ask for it! Throughout the dinner, she was very polite and kind. Even when we took a while to choose what to order, she was so patient, not rushing us. Hands down the best service I've ever gotten at a restaurant. Then, there was the food. Oh my gosh, extraordinary. I got a 10 oz. filet mignon that was scrupulous, savory, I can't even describe it. Everyone else said their food was as amazing as I described it. Lastly, the desert came. They gave us complimentary cake, cream, cheesecake, and a chocolate drizzled drawing of the Capital Grille logo. I also got a vanilla ice cream with chocolate drizzle on top of it. They were both very delightful and delicious. Overall, I had an excellent experience at The Capital Grille. Sure, it was expensive but I'd say it's worth it. I'm definitely coming back. Huge thanks to our waitress for making this a special experience for us. read more

We had a great dinner experience here on New Year's Eve. Without reservations, we were able to snag seats at the very crowded bar. Despite the number of people, the bartender kept up with us very well. My dirty martini was made perfectly, and we never went without water. We started with the calamari, which wasn't bad, but it's not something I would order again. The filet with mushrooms was outstanding, and my husband enjoyed his strip steak, as well. I'd also recommend the potato au gratin--excellent! Surprisingly, one of the best parts of the meal was the crème brûlée cheesecake!! So yummy! We will definitely be back again soon for dinner. read more

Kate Hipple and her associate who assisted her provided the best customer service my brother and I have ever had. We both have dined in a large number of fine restaurants over many years but she far exceeded our expectations. Kate went out of her way to ensure we had exactly the meal we desired, made excellent suggestions, and creatively resolved a problem by gaining the help of the chef. We are grateful and will be back today. read more

Absolutely awesome was there two weeks ago with my son had one of the best meals of my life because the company and food were truly awesome

We had the steak plate lunch with soup. It was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was lovely. I will definitely return. The waiter also surprised us with a free dessert because we were celebrating an 18 year holiday tradition of doing something special in December. read more

One of the best dining experiences in recent memory. Food was lit (mozz app, oysters. Waygu filet and tuna entree, cake dessert) but what separates this experience was the service. The staff all work together real well and stop at tables (3-4 different staff were involved in the service). Rob, our main waiter, was top notch. Ish was bussin! We'll be back!! read more

My first visit was a party of 5 in the dining room. I've eaten at many Capital Grilles over the years. Most aspects of this visit met expectations including the quality of the meal, the friendliness of the wait staff and the overall vibe. That said, this is a location still working to find their stride. The pace of the meal was off. Our second drink took 20 minutes to be brought to the table and their was almost 45 minutes between the salads and the entrees. It was busy for midweek and the wait staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. Management was aware of it and provided complimentary desserts which was appreciated. Overall, a good experience that I'm sure will only improve with time. STRIKE ONE! UPDATE: My second visit was with a party of 4 in the bar area. Food taste was OK but again service was friendly but unprofessional. They made a mistake on my drink order using a bar brand instead of my specific premium request. They had to throw it out and remake it. Whoever brought the food to the table had no idea who ordered which meal and we had to move food around after it was dropped off. STRIKE TWO! My third visit was a party of 2 in the bar area. Again, very friendly service but unprofessional. The food drop again went wrong when she had no idea who ordered what and we had to call her back to move the plates since they were so hot. This time the food quality and taste also missed the mark. How does a kitchen let a wagyu burger go out on a burnt bun...to both of us. It's all you taste. STRIKE THREE! In summary, this is a restaurant that is poorly managed with staff that has subpar training. They can get things right occasionally as the mixed reviews show but that's their problem...total lack of consistency. Two of my three visits required a manager coming by to apologize and the third should have but didn't. Again, poorly managed. THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE OUT CAPITAL GRILLE!! read more

Service was incredible. Staff was very kind and attentive. They did a great job celebrating my husbands bday with confetti, card and dessert. Loved the ambiance old New York feel. Food was excellent - bread was very good (favorite was the onion), burrata app excellent (a little salty but I like it that way), I had the lollipop lamb chops and my husband had the filet with mushrooms and onions. We also had the truffle fries just wish they had aioli sauce but fries were very good. We will definitely be back - next time we will sit at the bar I want to try their burger !

Have been to fifteen Cap Grills and was a three-time-a-week regular at the one in DC for several years. I have a pretty good reference point of how the experience should be. So disappointed in the Newton location. Medium well steak came out medium rare. Service was desultory and hospitality was totally absent. Usually when all three are off it's a reflection of poor management. read more

I don't give a negative review to a place until I've tried it twice. Both times I've eaten here the service has been TERRIBLE. Tonight we sat for 40 minutes before our drink and food order was taken. Finally, Joy , the bartender, came to our rescue. She was the only bright light in the whole experience. The food is fine and the ambiance is nice but overall I would say that the price tag is not worth it. read more

Loved the food, the ambiance, the service. Just like The Capitol Grill in town!The prices were very high, but everything was delicious.

Nice atmosphere but service and food were sub standard. The management should visit the tables more during the dinner hours to get real reviews of how it is there. Don't waste your money, so many other notice places to eat in the area. Over rated for sure. read more

Upon arrival we were led to a table that had some birthday decorations and a card there. Our waiter Kyle was the best & made several recommendations. The oysters were outstanding. My wife had tenderloin with lobster tails & I had a filet mignon with a bone. They were cooked perfectly. Kyle also provided us twice during our meal with warm towels to clean our hands before the next serving. Prior to leaving Kyle gave my wife a Bday cake & a rose read more
