Went here to celebrate my birthday with my fiancée recently. We had a gift card and the restaurant came recommended by some co-workers of mine. It is clear upon entering this place that it is trying to embrace the high-end steakhouse vibe and separate itself from the mall it is attached to. Initially, I was wary when I found out where the place was located, but inside the restaurant is quite nice. We had a reservation and arrived a bit early, so we stopped at the bar to kill some time. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of my bourbon cocktail that I order whenever I am out. It tasted weak and just off. My fiancée felt the same about her drink. At $16 for a cocktail made with Bulleit Bourbon, I expected more. Dinner redeemed this slight inconvenience. Fried calamari appetizer was wonderful, but the smoked bacon appetizer was on a completely different level. People who follow my reviews know I will travel far and wide for well-done cuts of meat, and this was tremendous. For dinner, I had the filet mignon and lobster tail, both of which were cooked perfectly and were very flavorful. We also shared truffle fries, which we both enjoyed. My other half loved her entree, as well. Our server was prompt, never rushed us, was attentive, courteous, and kind. Would return. read more

Excellent food and service . Wine was way over priced but good with our meal . We left the restaurant and purchased the wine for $8 when we were charged $40 inside the restaurant. But you live and you learn . All in all we enjoyed the meal .... With tip we spent about $300 read more

What a lunch. This is not the place for a quick casual lunch. This is class and quality food and service. Had the lobster bisque and a Caesar salad with perfectly cooked fillet. Truly delicious for both. Pricey, but you're paying for quality and excellent service. An experience. read more

Generally , i avoid " mall" restaurants. I learned in Dubai some of the best restaurants can be found in a Mall , like Wolfgang Pucks . But then again it's Jersey . They have Valet parking that's a good start . This place had the feel of a traditional steakhouse . It was packed on a Thursday evening . Seating was swift . We enjoyed steak , filet mignon , chicken . Meats were juicy not dry at all . Appetizers mozzarella wrapped prosciutto , calamari. Everything was savory , decent portions . I would recommend for adults , afterwork gatherings , business lunch & dinners . read more

Second time dining here and it's always a pleasant experience. Service is courteous, food is great, and that hasn't changed with the new outdoor dining guidelines. Hands down the best calamari I've ever had anywhere. We casually ordered it as a side to nibble at but it ended up getting devoured. They do give real flatware and dinnerware here. Just give it a thorough look to make sure it's clean because we had an issue or two. But the seating is nice and shaded, which is great for the hot summer days we've been having. And everything is nicely spaced out too. read more

The Capital Grille - Steakhouses Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

Without a doubt, one of the best steakhouses in the area. The food is fantastic! The service is top notch! The atmosphere is old school classic high end steakhouse ... And I can't recommend it more! We went for an early dinner & we filled up. Brought the whole family too. The wife had the ribeye. I had the veal chop covered in Parmesan cheese - Yes it was decadent! My father (who's birthday we were celebrating) got the filet mignon! As did one of my teens. Sides for the table ... Sautéed Spinach w a garlic confit, Sam's Mashed Potatoes which were buttery & Grilled Asparagus. We started with fried calamari, salad & roasted bacon ... So good! It's pricey but well worth the expense! The food is well above par if not better than any steakhouse in the area! From appetizers to main course to dessert ... there are so many good choices! The Service is top notch ... I don't think any of us waited for a refill of water or a new fork or anything else ... Just unbelievably attentive staff! Bring you appetite but bring you wallet too! read more

I'll start by saying that I've eaten here before three or four times and it has always been pleasant up until tonight. Tonight's special was the lobster bisque and I was eager to try it as a lobster bisque is one of my favorite foods. I also had a lobster tail for dinner and my husband had the Wagyu steak. Before I could even finish my lobster tail, I was starting to feel severe abdominal pain to the point that I was sweating. I quickly ran to the bathroom and thought I was going to faint on the floor. I proceeded to text my husband to quickly pay and get the car so we can run home and possibly go to the hospital when I got home. I vomited three times. I also continued to have severe abdominal pain that literally felt like contractions. Certainly this has to be food poisoning and I believe it's from the lobster bisque. We proceeded to call the restaurant and notify them, and the manager on the phone laughed at my symptoms. Then proceeded to tell me that I did not get sick from their food that I must've been sick earlier. I informed the manager that I am a nurse in the emergency room and I know for a fact, I have food poisoning from their restaurant. It is safe to say I will never return to this establishment and I hope you don't either. Save yourself the stomachache read more

Honestly loved this place. It is attached to the garden state plaza mall and parking can be tricky, but the drinks were great and the lunch prices were reasonable. The staff is super sweet and the service is timely. I got the $24 planned out course, where you pick out of 3 starters and then choose out of 3 entrees for just $24. I got the mini tenderloin sandwich with truffle fries and for my starter I got clam chowder soup. Everything came out perfect. This place is great for a nice romantic date or even a professional/business lunch. read more

INCREDIBLE! AMAZING! FANTASTIC! and oh yeah DELICIOUS! Located next to Macy's at the Garden State Plaza, this establishment might be the best restaurant at the mall. The service was phenomenal! I appreciated the fact that there was a card and decorations on the table for my birthday. From that moment I knew we were going to have a lovely dining experience. Masks were worned by all staff. Our waiter (Matthew I believe) was exceptional. From their calamari and lobster /crab cake, to their lamb chops, steak, and lobster, it was all out of this world. The creme brulee here is absolutely perfect. It was crowded here on an October Wednesday evening with outdoor and indoor dining. We were not rushed during our dinner though, which was nice. Cannot wait to return :-) read more

I dined in this restaurant for the first time on a Friday night, no reservation just walked in. Our server's name was JAREL TURNER and he was absolutely amazing to us the whole night. The vibe was great, very chill and calm. The food on the other hand was top tier! Got the oysters and lobster and crab cakes for appetizers, which were so delicious. Got the pan seared sea bass for entree and omg it was good, for dessert we got one of the specials which was bread pudding with pecan ice cream which was also amazing. Overall had a great night, literally ate everything single thing on all my plates, I highly recommend! PS: it's a bit pricey but so worth it! read more

The mojito was lovely and perfectly mixed, I was feeling nice by the second drink. I ordered the surf and turf and the lobster was generously buttered. The flavors on the dish paired well with our side of asparagus- they had the steak au poivre and boy was that a banger lol. Almost switched out dishes out but I really liked the lobster. Overall, I enjoyed our time here, our waiter was very kind and kept us entertained. It was perfect for date night. read more

What can I say , everything is always excellent. Calamari with the peppers is a must have . Dessert anything you get is just so tasty.

4 for food, 5 for Steve. Lobster and filet. Mushrooms and asparagus. No decaf tea (hint shop rite sells it). Don't forget to order wine with dinner (not that you need a reminder). Nice selection. More of a treat than date night. Filling. Appy was blow away good. read more

Went to Capital Grille on Sunday to celebrate my mom's birthday. Loved how the hostess took the time to place a card & some confetti on the table. Made it feel very personable which we appreciated. Our server Matt was amazing and very attentive along with his helper Tyler who was super helpful and very sweet. Matt and Tyler both helped us with the menu and my mom is very particular and they accommodated us so very well. We got the prosciutto wrapped mozzarella appetizers which was AMAZING! For entrees, we ordered the roasted chicken breast, filet mignon and the special African lobster tails for the birthday girl. Food was pretty decent but not to die for. The creme brûlée was also amazing! Thank you Matt & Tyler for an enjoyable evening read more

I had the seabass and WOAH. There was a buttery deliciousness that got even better with every bite! It was worth every penny. The bread is worth the tummy ache for my fellow gluten-free people! That cranberry one is UNREAL. The staff is amazing! Michael was our server - he provided us with complimentary champagne at the end of our meal! Just a cherry on top of his incredible waiting services. The ambiance was dark lit and gave very "hunter-politician" vibes. Safe to say - we left full, happy & a little tipsy. read more

Great overall evening. Always great to visit Capital Grill. They should put a dress code in place, while you are dressed nice people are walking in with work clothes and sneakers. Money don't by class. Step up are dress code or your going to loose your brand which we much respect. Tony! read more

I took 5 people on Friday and it didn't disappoint. The food was exceptional as always. The server Christopher was excellent and a good sport. $852 bill I guess if you want perfection then you must pay. I wish it was cheaper I would be there every week. read more

Not the restaurant's fault, but the table next to us was so loud and obnoxious. Ugh. The place can definitely be loud... but the food and the service were phenomenal! The meat was cooked to perfection, the side dishes were great and our server and manager went out of their way to make this a great celebration dinner. I was sad when the one in West Hollywood went out of business, so it was nice to enjoy the Capital Grille once again. The Wedge with Bleu Cheese and Bacon was delicious and the dressing was plentiful. The Oysters, the Mushrooms, and the Grilled Asparagus with Lemon Mosto were delicious... but the highlight was the steak and the Kona Crusted Dry Aged NY Strip with Shallot Butter stole the show. This is a great place for a special celebration! read more

Each time we go to this location, service is AWFUL. Took thirty minutes for our server to come to the table for the first time and received lacking service the rest of the night. We requested both meals to be cooked medium rare and both plates came back extremely rare. We sent one plate back because it was inedible, and when they returned it after cooking to "medium rare", the meat was either completely dried out, or still rare - even after being cooked for the second time! Highly suggest going to the parsippany location instead. We will never return to this location as each experience is worse than the one before. read more

The food and service were great during our first lunch visit. We both had a Caesar salad and mini tenderloin sandwiches with truffle fries and Brussels sprouts. The meal was very good and filling! Our server Christopher was attentive and even came out with surprise dessert for my cousin's birthday. That was a really thoughtful gesture. read more

What a great experience. I had only been to Capitol Grille once before and this time really stuck with me! After we sat we met our server Justin who was one of the best servers we have had. He made the experience exceptional and we would definitely come back to see him! We came for lunch and I was in the mood for the burger or Ribeye steak sandwich. I went with the ribeye sandwich and it was incredible. One of the best I have had. The horseradish sauce that comes with it puts it over the top. My wife got the 8oz filet and it was solid. The meat was cooked perfectly medium rare and it melted in my mouth. I also enjoyed the parmesan truffle fries and mashed potatoes that came with it. The fries were better since mashed potatoes for me all taste the same. For dessert we tried the Cheesecake. It is a classic preparation but has a creme brule top. Creamy, flavorful, and delicious is how I would best describe it. Solid. The ambiance in here has the feel that you are in an exclusive club. They even have wine lockers for the regulars. I hear there is a long waiting list for that. The in-fashion is also delicious which is a play on an old fashioned. In the end, I was skeptical since this is located outside a mall but this place crushes it. It is expensive but the whole experience was worth it. Check it out and ask for Justin! read more

This was my first time at this location. I always love the other ones so had to come. The place is just as awesome as the others. Our server Dominick was very personable. The food and ambiance was amazing and doesn't disappoint. Costly but well worth it. Cant say enough good things about how delicious the food was. Will obviously return! Just a side note the website says valet parking however there is none, my guess because of the current state of the world. read more

I visited this place one month ago for lunch. We had salad, filet mignon with cream of spinach and mashed potato followed by a flourless chocolate cake as dessert. I'd like to point out the filet mignon was perfectly cooked. I just started my diet but I couldn't resist the mashed potato!!! It was great!! What has changed? We were so disappointed when we had our dinner there two years ago and never returned till last month. BTW, the services are always good and ambiance is nice for either private party or business dinner. read more

Had quite a few dinners here and Capital Grille never disappoints. Every steak I have had has been absolutely amazing. For example, the 16 oz bone-in NY strip with gorgonzola is a great choice. I could list out all the great meals I have had but instead I'll give the highlights. First of all, get a steak. I am sure the other meal options are fine but they do steaks right here so don't stray away! Tuna tartare is a top notch appetizer. For sides, I would recommend the potatoes au gratin, lobster mac and cheese, and spinach. Spinach is a must for me every time. I'm a dessert drink guy, so I would steer you to the cocktail menu. Classic martinis never hurt either! The traditional desserts will satisfy but I know what I like. It is a question of when, not if, I return. read more

Been here twice First time sat at the bar had a steak and the lobster crab cake it was Delicious drinks on point .

I mean this place is great. Aside from it be attached to the mall, it is outstanding in every aspect. They do have valet which helps being the mall is usually sooo packed aside from sundays. The servers were very attentive and nice and professional. The resturant has an older feel with some nice art on the wall, family or company wine cabinets and lights that a older looking. I wish it was a little brighter in the resturant in some areas. The food was great. Steak with lobster...you can't go wrong. The sides were good sizes and desserts were splendid. Overall it was great. Little pricey but I believe it's worth the price. read more

This review is dedicated to our amazing server JAREL T. He made the dinner and experience worth wild!!! Dear Darden Restaurants, he should truly be rewarded for his amazing and warm service.

My daughter was raving about this restaurant and how much she loved it so we decided to give it a try after shopping in the mall. From the start the woman who set us down was wonderful. I asked to be further away from people due to the fact that I suffer from asthma so I wanted a more secluded table due unfortunately to covid. She sat us in a private room. Once we settle and sat at our table, our server was just wonderful and accommodating. She explained all the dishes to detail. They started us with a delicious bread basket and soft salted butter. We ordered two appetizers. One being the chilled crab the other being the tuna tartare. Both were delicious. I chose a chicken dish and my daughter ordered a steak dish. Both were exceptional. My chicken was tender juicy and soft. It had a risotto underneath which was amazing. My daughter steak was cooked perfectly. Juicy and Delicious. For dessert my daughter ordered an ice cream sundae and I ordered strawberries with cream. They made her Sunday exactly as she had requested it and my strawberries and cream were fresh, delicious and Light. An exceptional meal with exceptional service. Will definitely be coming back and my daughter was absolutely right about this restaurant. read more

I'm going with a five star rating on our meal here as the service was just so outstanding, it well deserves it. The waiter came over as soon as we sat down and introduced himself as well as took our drink order. I was thrilled that they had my favorite bourbon, Blaton's, and he commented on my excellent taste. (I try!) When he came back, he explained the specials and asked us if we had any questions and if we planned on having wine with dinner. We ended up with an excellent bottle of Santa Barbara pinot noir and ordered an app, two entrees and a side of lobster mac and cheese. The tuna tartare with avocado, mango and siracha app was good, but not great. The ingredients were all very fresh, but I wasn't in love with the mango and siracha sauce it was served with. For dinner I went with the sushi grade sesame tuna. The tuna was very lightly seared and the sesame seeds gave it great flavor. It also came with small sides of three different sauces. I expected a bit more from the rice (just seemed like boring white rice to me), but I was satisfied overall. The side of mac n cheese was amazing, I highly recommend that. It was lots of cheese, butter, delicious carbs and chunks of lobster. Yum. Since our food arrived immediately after our appetizer, the waiter profusely apologized multiple times over. We were fine with it, but he felt so bad, he brought us dessert, which was really sweet. I had an apple tart and my buddy had a chocolate ganache cake. Both were excellent. We also had an after dinner drink that was excellent. Excellent wine menu, good food, and great service. We had a fantastic meal. read more

This is my first time at this location, albeit not the first time at a capital grille. Even in the time of covid, this place was packed inside and outside in the tent. FYI no valet at this time but usually they have valet. A reservation is a must. We were seated shortly after checking in for our reservation, and had a wonderful server (Yuly). I find it funny people complain about the prices here; it's a consistent, excellent dining experience, food is always top notch, and the atmosphere is amazing. My wife and I were there celebrating our anniversary and had a leisurely 2.5 hour dinner, no rush, so relaxed, constant checkins, perfect, Onto the food, tried the lobster and crab cakes app for the first time and it was a total homerun. I always want to try crabcakes when I go to any restaurant but they always underwhelming. This place hit it perfect and I definitely recommend trying them. It says serves two which means one crabcake a person which is unfortunate because you're going to want both :) Every time we've been to capital Grille we always get the wedge salad with blue cheese and this time was no exception. The bacon is unreal and you wish you could just enjoy that during entire meal. It is large enough where two people can share it Just ask them to played it for two people when you water. For dinner we shared the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly (medium) where even my wife who's afraid to see any pink meat truly enjoyed every bite. Definitely go with with a good steak to your liking here, it's made perfect to order. Ordered some sides including the mushrooms and lobster mac & cheese. I will say that the mushrooms could've use a little extra seasoning and although the lobster mac & cheese is always a hit with us we've had better at other capital Grille's. Didn't stop me from eating them though. I would highly recommend finishing up your meal with the cheesecake. They cross the top with a glaze and the bottoms got a gram cracker and it's just a phenomenal bite. It is heavy, so even though it's a small cheesecake you can definitely share it with someone else. All you need is one or two bites and you're in heaven. Pair that up with a cappuccino (they actually include a rock sugar stick) and you're good to go. I will mention that we had a slight issue with our steak and honestly I didn't even think it was a big deal but the restaurant went above and beyond to take care of it for us. Very happy that they have such good service and treatment of their customers. Another fantastic meal at capital grill, highly recommend dining here. read more

Excellent excellent steaks and one of the best. Filet mignon's melted in your mouth tasted like butter. I'm sure it was seasoned and buttered by the most tailored chef I like that it's on the dark side great place for a sexy date night. The prices are high, but the food is worth it. The service is always great. I like to go to the bar and watch the single scene. It's a little small inside but the bar gets packed. Believe it or not go for happy hour and have some appetizers you can't go wrong bring a date or your wife for a special occasion enjoy and. read more

This steakhouse is amazing! I was visiting here from out of town for a bodybuilding competition and came here afterwards. The fillet was delicious, has great flavor and cooked perfectly. My husband got a porcini rub on his fillet and it was very tasty. The brussels sprouts were excellent and the Parmesan truffle fries were delicious. We had oysters and the lobster and crab crabcake which were very good. Our server Dominic provided excellent service and great recommendations. It was an amazing dinner. Highly recommend! read more

We were guests of a regular here and I know why they are a regular! The service starts from the moment you walk on the door with a greeting and in our case who would be our service captain for the night I'm not sure what the persons title is as it could be butler, concierge or similar honorary title. The menu is extensive and features some incredible seafood appetizers, large selection of wines The big treat awaits as the steak selection is why most come here We enjoyed the bone in filet and several paired it with a lobster tail Overall it was another 5 star outing!! read more

Love love love this place. Best steak ever we had filet with Kona coffee rub was delightful. Lobster tails over mashed potatoes with drawn butter over top was decadent and the tails were juicy plump And tender. All the sides were shared and enjoyed. Signature ribeyes were delightful! Our service was top notch leaving us wanting nothing and it is clean and bright inside for a beautiful steakhouse. We travel a lot and whenever there is a capital grill in town we make it a point to stop in as we are never disappointed! read more

Our small group had a reservation and they seated us on time at a round table. The waiter was nice and brought everyone a sample of the Stoli Doli because everyone wanted to try mine.

Other than that, it was the usual Capital Grille perfection!! read more

I visited this establishment for a birthday dinner and had an amazing time. Our server was phenomenal! The service here is amazing and the ambiance sets is breathtaking. Let's get into the food: -the calamari was very tasty. Seasoned well. Not rubbery or fried too hard -the lamb chops were seasoned and cooked to perfection. This was my first time trying them -the Caesar salad was very light, fresh and filling. The chicken breast were very moist and tender. Most of the time chicken breast are charred but not here! The white sangria was on the sweeter side. It wasn't horrible but it was a tad bit sweeter than I'm used to. This is the PERFECT place for a date night. Will definitely be coming back! read more
