The Capital Grille

Long awaited reopening of the much loved Capital Grille. Amazing steaks, fish, salads and sides. Great wines and cocktails. The place is consistent so if you are willing to shell out the dough you can be assured of an excellent meal and service.

Really glad they reopened. When it was closed temporarily, I realized this was not only the best steakhouse in the area, but my favorite restaurant, too. The steaks are always sizzling hot and the service very professional and quick. But I think what I like most is the ambiance since there are few places like this one with the high ceilings and 2nd level. Just a magnificient place to enjoy dinner and/or drinks. I come every week.

It was an absolute delight from start to finish. The food exceeded all expectations, with each dish bursting with freshness and exceptional quality.

Whether dining in or catering for an event, this restaurant consistently delivers on both taste and quantity.

Fantastic food. The best service I have experienced in 25+ years of visiting NYC. Kyle was exceptional. Surprisingly good value for money @ $560 for party of 8, including tax but excluding drinks and tip. I will be going again.

Arrived 15 mins late to reservation but was still honored the table, for NYE it wasn’t packed. The food was prepared in great portion, the sides were sharable & everything tasted excellent. Hostess was quick, efficient & the restaurant is beautiful slightly dark but nice design.. overall great experience.

The level of service was excellent. Very polite and accommodating staff. Food was very tasty. Would recommend the clam chowder, crème brûlée cheesecake and Ribeye. The sides are excellent. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Not a fan of the bread, but I’m not a bread guy so that could just be me.

I was blown away with the decor, the ambience and even the smell of this place lol. From the detailed walls to the bronze eagle statues throughout, it was breathtaking.

I had the seared sea bass it was fresh, a thick-cut portion of the fish, was moist inside plus the top and bottom of the fish had this thin, flavorful crust that I will not forget.

The staff were attentive, kind and were happy to serve you. The host that check me in came over to me while sitting to ask if the service is good. I really appreciated that. Cheers the my host Eden, she’s amazing!

I finally got the chance to experience restaurant week and picked the best place to start - The Capital Grille. The restaurant was beautiful, elegant and classic. In the historic Equitable Building, what was once a mighty bank vault is now the entrance to the private dinning rooms on the lower level. Just stunning, don't forget to check it out.

For starters we ordered the Clam Chowder and Green Salad w/ Parmesan vinaigrette. The clam chowder was soft, creamy and had a substantial amount of clam in each bite. Now, I'm a fan of green salads but this had to be the best salad dressing I've ever had. I loveeeee Parmesan cheese and the vinaigrette was exactly what I was hoping it would be. I ate every single bite of the salad and really could gone for more.

We ordered a Blackberry Bourbon cocktail and an Old Fashion. The blackberry bourbon drink was delish, just the right blend to accompany the mouth watering steak.
We ordered just about the same thing, the Bone-In Dry Aged NY Strip 14oz, one with lobster, one with jumbo shrimp and both with mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were just melt in your mouth creamy. It was such a great side to the steak. He ordered his steak medium and mine medium - rare. When they arrived to the table his steak wasn't cooked to his liking and the waiter Donavon noticed by the look on his face. Donavan asked him if he wanted to order another steak to his exact liking, he hesitated for a bit but then went with Donavon's suggestion to "eat the steak exactly the way you want it." Moments later Donavan returned with a steak cooked medium- rare that was exactly how he wanted. Thank goodness Donavan asked him a couple of times because it was really worth the extra little wait. I genuinely appreciated Donavan's attention to detail and vibe. Donavan was just a delight, exceptional service, fun and very helpful. His service was 10/10.

Oh and just when we thought we were done, the desserts arrived. Hello chocolate cakes! First bite into the cake and I knew this was the right decision. The cake was served with raspberries on the side which allowed for a wonderful blend of sweetness from the cake and a bit of tartness from the raspberry. I really didn't have enough space to finish the entire cake but I did my absolute best.
I highly recommend this location we had a wonderful dining experience and can't wait to comeback.

This spot is my staple. Food never dissapoints, my go-to Friday dine-in. The best service and staff. (Shout out to: Heidi David, John, Khalid) have tried every item on their menu and its always flavorful and delicious!! A definite try is their Lobster mac-n-cheese, their Au Gratin potatoes, their Bone-In Kona Crusted Dry Aged NY Strip with Shallot Butter, dessert a must try is their creme brulee and their coconut cream pie!

Excellent all round. A perfect meal in a perfect setting with perfect service. Capital Grille has definitely earned a place on my Must-Go-To-Paces-In-New-York list.

Came here with my husband for my birthday and they surpassed all my expectations! They decorated our table and had a Birthday message waiting for me. Our server Frederick aka “Derick” was amazing as was the food from start to finish. He brought out their signature lobster mac and cheese along with our meals as a birthday treat. It’s definitely a must have! So creamy and flavorful! The dry aged steak was wonderful and the salmon was cooked to perfection. Thank you for making my birthday one to remember!

I got a salad to start. I have never tasted a better vinaigrette. I couldn't decide between the filet mignon and the salmon, do I got both with a side of mash potatoes. I feel almost dizzy with how good the filet is. The salmon tastes like Atlantic salmon but its still cooked to perfection. I almost moaned out loud while eating. My server, Max, had given me completely honest and true commentary on the dishes. I definitely plan on coming back. Maybe having parties here, important dinners. My damn wedding reception. Might even give birth here while I'm at it.

Downstairs there is a honest to god bank vault door. The bathrooms are spotless. This visit was a spur of the moment thing and it isn't cheap, but it is well worth the price. Get Max a raise.

Is this a steak deserving 5 stars? Yes! Is is the best steak I have ever had and I can't wait to go back? It's not. Good steak, reasonable prices. The veal was unbelievable definetly worth a try. The apps were average. Overall still a 5 star experience and food was good. Place is also very hard to fine because it's address says Broadway but it's actually on pine street

The staff deserves to be commended for a job well well done.

We were here for a private event, celebrating the birthday of Rodneyse-Bichotte Hermelyn
Assembly Woman and Democratic Party Chair. She was so gracious.

Executive Director for the Kings County Democratic Party Yamil Speight Miller organized a very nice event at a very nice venue. So grateful to be apart of this event. The video and photos says it all.

Manager Ryan and David behind the bar were beyond professional. So welcoming!

Went here for restaurant week and even though that menu is very limited to overall menu the options were all delicious. Staff was attentive and very friendly. Food came out quicker than thought which was a plus. Atmosphere was great also. Price is a little on the expensive side but it's well worth it

Capital Grill does not disappoint. It’s a regular dinner spot for us back in Atlanta where we live. This time though, I met a friend for lunch. I’d never been in for lunch, so it was nice to grab a burger and see what that was about. Really solid.. as if I needed another reason to go!

Had an amazing experience. Dined for Restaurant Week Winter 2020. The food was delicious as well as the drinks. It was my colleague's birthday. I mentioned in the reservations if they could put a candle on her cake when it was time for dessert. They went above and beyond by firstly giving her a hand written card, birthday confetti on the table, and then bringing out a sampler of their chocolate cake and cheesecake with candles on top of the dessert that was part of the pre-fixe menu. To top it off, they brought us champagne on the house to toast to her birthday. With such an amazing experience I intend to return to celebrate my birthday or anniversary. Shoutout to Cisse and Rebecca for their hospitality and smiles. They're a great duo.

Amazing lunch in the 100+ year old bank vault!!! The food and the wait staff is five star quality. The experience was worth the time and money. It made you feel like you were having lunch with the Astor's and Rockerfellers. Call ahead for reservations and ask for a table in the vault. It won't disappoint!

Awesome service & great food but there was just A lot of afterwork loud crass and vulgar men however and they seemed to get louder and louder after each drink. For a first date it was a little annoying!
