As a vegetarian/pescatarian I obviously am not the best to judge a meat focused restaurant but I will. First of all the atmosphere was really nice and our waiter Carl P was great. He answered any questions my meat eating boyfriend had and was engaging. I got the a bowl of the clam chowder and I have to say it was really good. I also got a side of cream of spinach which was good and the au gratin potato's which didn't have much taste and a little watery. My boyfriend got the porcini rubbed steak and he said he was really good. Probably in his top 3 places for steaks. For a nice evening out I would recommend

No one can beat the lunch special at the capital grille. For $27 you get a delicious 2 course meal and the absolute best service. We started off with a ceasar salad and my husband decided to upgrade with a French onion soup. Amazing ambiance and professionalism in a beautiful environment with the right prices.

Great dining experience. We had a large party and got a separate dining room. The wine and apps were just as amazing as the main dish. Desserts were great and they were able to accommodate my dairy allergen with sorbet. Would love to go back next time I'm in town.

Lobster and Crab Cakes
Huy T.

The food, service, and ambiance were excellent. We did inadvertently order too much food and had to pack some up. The bacon appetizer was crispy and full of flavor. The lobster + crab cakes were delicious. The bone-in filet mignon with lobster was cooked perfectly. Rounding it out with lobster Mac and truffle fries. These are the best truffle fries I've ever had. It was expensive but worth the experience. Will come back next time I'm in NJ.

Happy hour is great and available in the bar area M-F from 3-6pm. The portions are smaller, tapas style. The prices are great. $10 cocktails, oysters casino are only available at cocktail hour, The sliced sirloin with aji verde is great, kind of like a cilantro oil sauce. The petite file sandwiches are delicious and the sautéed onions are super sweet. Parmesan truffle fries are great and are a very large portion. Hint, don't forget to ask for the bread basket, great variety!

The Cast Iron Shrimp are the BEST thing on the happy hour menu! A dish to dream about!
Angela S.

My husband and I have visited Capital Grille for happy hour a few times now since they started it and it's absolutely one of our FAVORITES! Michelle is a fantastic bartender, super friendly, attentive and she makes a fabulous cocktail! We have now tried all of the dishes on the Lounge Plates section from the happy hour menu and every plate is wonderful. The Cast Iron Shrimp is by far the dish we order every time.. the shrimp are huge, perfectly cooked and that sauce is dreamy! The NY Strip and Lamb Chops were awesome, hubby loved the Oysters Casino, the Mushroom Arancini were crispy and delicious, Petite Filet Sliders are a great choice for sharing, Caesar Salad Bites and Parmesan Truffle Fries are also yummy sides. If you're looking for a stellar happy hour don't miss this place!

The Capital Grille is an upscale, modern restaurant. I had a work event here. Staff were great - friendly and very attentive to our party of 20. Our party had passed hors devours and platters. Food was quite tasty and they had a great variety of options to choose from. The restaurant has an extensive wine menu, with some special reserves listed. Overall a great experience with delicious and fresh food.

We came here for a work lunch with customers. We had a very attentive waiter who was just on top of everything. I got the tuna for lunch and it was absolutely delicious. Followed by the almond cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Great place to conduct business as it was not loud where you can't hear the other person.

Exceptional wait staff ! Hands down 5 star service, you get what you pay for. Food was cooked to perfection between appetizers and entrees. Cocktails were delish, I guess that's why the bar was full. Great experience and can't wait to return.

My kind of room!

There are quite a few steakhouses in the area, but Capital Grille remains my favorite. The service is excellent. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. The manager also stopped by to make sure everything was good. The ambience is excellent. You have an open view of the kitchen and the wine collection. You definitely feel like you're in a great restaurant. The food is first rate. We started with a nice bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. My wife had a salad and I ordered a crock of French Onion soup. The soup may have been the best French Onion I've ever had. We both had the filet as our entrees. I had the sliced filet with cippollini onions and mushrooms, my wife had the 10 oz filet. Sides of au gratin potatoes and asparagus were a good combo. The steak is just amazing here! We topped the meal off by sharing the seasonal berries. Just a great meal! There's quite a few choices in local steakhouses, but Capital Grille is still my #1!

Bone-In Ribeye 22oz
Joseph Z.

Been going here for quite some time. Last night I had what was their standard ribeye. A solid ribeye. No complaints. Service was great tonight. My colleague has a serere allergy to nutts and he made to dessert and out the door so they did a good job in that front. Ambiance is always the same. Buisness lunch/dinner vibes. They make a solid cocktail and always do. There were 1 or 2 dinners I've had here where the steak was 11 out of 10. I still chase that steak when I come and go. Overall it was a solid dinner with great service.

Went for the Waygu and Wine event today. Had a wonderful experience, we walked in just as they opened -- greeted by James C. Place setting at bar was ready, nice and quiet. James was amazing, very friendly and attentive. I've eaten here numerous times, the food was amazing. From our appetizers to our main all arriving piping hot!

The Capital Grille offers an exceptional fine dining experience that consistently impresses me. This is another "chain" restaurant I frequently return to and its my choice throughout the US because of their consistency from location to location. My home base location is in Parsippany NJ and their performance is nothing short of spectacular. Renowned for their expertly prepared dry-aged steaks, and hand-cut by on-premise butchers, the restaurant ensures each cut meets the highest standards. Complementing the exquisite cuisine is an extensive wine list featuring over 350 selections. I love the attentive service and meticulous attention to detail, making it an ideal venue for regular dining and special occasions. Notable dishes include the Pan-Fried Calamari with Hot Cherry Peppers, Filet Mignon (nine in and boneless), which I love because of its tenderness and precise preparation. The Capital Grille stands out as a premier dining destination for B I the dinner and lunch. Their commitment to culinary excellence and outstanding service ensures a memorable, consultant experience for me every time I visit regardless of location.

Now with that being said, this isn't any of the three. First off, we walked in and up to the bar and asked for a drink menu and the bartender who had zero personality, didn't say hello, how are you, wasn't smiling, and then says hold on let me see if I can serve you. Wait what? Isn't this a craft beer bar? He said there is a christening going on and I don't know if they want anyone else in here. I was like are you serious? A christening in a bar and with nothing on the door or anywhere saying the bar is closed for a party. Gotcha! So some guy walks up to him while he is talking to us and says he doesn't want us in there. Hilarious!!! I hope the owner knows you denied business to actual customers because some local cool guy wanted the whole place to himself to have his kids christening at a local bar so everyone could enjoy their quesadillas(from what I seen walking out). FYI: there was no one sitting at the bar or bar area just about 10-15 people sitting at a couple tables eating and drinking. I'll never return for any reason.

I recently decided…read moreto come here for a wedding anniversary dinner and was blown away by the service and the food quality. Started off with oysters, wine and fresh bread. I could tell that the butter was house made and asked for extra because it was that good. Had the beef duo as the main course. I found it to be satisfying and also much better value than the steak frites. All of the items I received were very detail oriented and as well as fresh. We were seated on one side on the restaurant that I believe was blocked off for more special occasions. The other side of the restaurant seemed to have tables placed more closely to one another.

Cool atmosphere, great energy, and good food! I also got super lucky with Hailey as my waitress. She sold me on just about every item on the menu... to the point where I completely handed over the decision-making to her. Yup, that's right, I told her what I liked and trusted her to pick my three dishes. And listen, when your name is on the menu for crafting a cocktail, I'm going to trust you to pick my meal too! Now for the food: the grilled octopus was amazing. Great flavor, perfect texture, and a really nice balance with the lentils. The shishito peppers were delicious, and the sauce that came with them added the perfect pop of flavor. The beet salad, however, was a little underwhelming. Unfortunately, it didn't have much flavor, so that one left me a bit disappointed. And then there was dessert. Oh man! Hailey did it again. She brought out the sweet corn cheesecake. Sounds weird, I know, but I had to try it. And yes, it definitely had sweet corn! It was a little too weird for my taste buds, but I'm glad I tried it.... Then came the Madeleines. Bite-sized, warm, and absolutely delicious. Fair warning: if you don't tell them to take the bowl away, you WILL eat the entire thing. Man oh man...so good!!! Overall, a really fun experience with a great atmosphere, good food, and a waitress who genuinely made the experience memorable. Kudos to Hailey for the great service and for knowing exactly what to recommend! She definitely made my night.

The portions were also very plentiful, making the meal an excellent value and leaving us with plenty to enjoy. The service was excellent as well. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout our meal. We also really enjoyed sitting outside--it created such a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere and made the evening even more enjoyable.

I literally said to myself as I drove around Somerville that I wish there was a wine or cocktail bar for...mature people like myself to chill at. So I looked up wine bars and boom - VintEdge was right down the street. I came in around 9pm, picked a comfy seat by the window, and ordered. Can you believe I had never had an espresso martini until that evening?? So my first was a pumpkin espresso martini. Well I may have had 2. And another drink. Ahem. The service was great, not fussy, and I wasn't rushed even as we approached last call. Visit 2: having heard about my great experience there alone, my cousin arranged to meet me there last week. Or so she thought. Through a series of mutual miscommunications, I was here at the crib waiting for her, while she was at the wine bar waiting for me. Once we figured that out, she got us some food to go and we ate here at home. Verdict: -excellent seating options - stools, couches, chairs -food is so so good. Tartare, truffle fries. Fig jam pizza -drinks include awesome bottles and seasonal takes on old favorites This could be my new spot.
