Great Steakhouse, Great Service, Great Food – I went with a group of couples, 6 people in total, and the total bill was $300 including alcohol. It was a great evening. While waiting for our table we had a cocktail and the large bar in the front. We were taken to our table within 15 minutes. Our waiter was extremely attentive and had good suggestion to make our dining experience pleasurable. Most of us had filet topped with crab. It was delicious. The ambience was relaxed, yet upscale. If you have the money to spend, and want... read more

very expensive – it was probably my fault, but i had no idea how expensive this restaurant was. the service was pretty slow, but it was the sunday before valentine's day, so i don't know what it's like otherwise. the entrees do not come with any sides, which i thought was ridiculous for the prices they offered. the atmosphere was nice, and i had a really strong pineapple and vodka drink (i don't know what it is called). but really, that restaurant is way too expensive for its own good. 

Business response:

Are you used to fine dining? yes everything is a la carte, however there is no better steak in the city in my opinion and I have frequented most of them. Horrible review by a total rookie.

Bad experience – We had a horrible experience at the Capitol Grille this past Saturday evening. From lousy service to fair food, we'll never return. No waiter to take our order (a group of 8 of us) until 30 min.after being seated (despite multiple requests), Went downhill from there. Go to Barclay Prime or Morton's for the same $$,better food and much better ambiance and service!

Fabulous – Having worked as a server in 2 of the cities best known steakhouses, I can honestly say that Capital Grille has it hands down over all the other steakhouses!! My boyfriend and I eat there often if we're in the mood for a steak and a martini, it's off to Capital Grille! And ask for Rob!

The atmosphere, the staff, the food everything was fantastic. A shared cold plate appetizer contained oysters, an abundant number of giant shrimp and a split lobster tail, with claws. The Porterhouse steaks were delicious and served as ordered rare. Single orders of side dishes, whipped potatoes and creamed spinach, were more than enough for two people and again were outstanding. Its definitely not inexpensive with the above, a bottle of wine and 2 coffees the bill came to around $170 before tip. But as The Simpsons Mr. Burn... read more

Best Beef in Philadelphia – I ate dinne at the Capital Grille last week and this number 1 position in Phialdelphia is warranted. The beef (I had a porterhouse) was fantastic. Aged, melt in your mouth and done to perfection. The service was average and the price was pretty high. If the service were better, I would increase my ratings across the board.

Mrs. – Capital Grille serves the best steak in the city. The atmosphere is both chic and cozy. We always request Josh as our server, simply because he is the best. The bar is one of our favorites. The selection of wine by the glass is one of the best around. Finally, don't skip the lobster bisque!

Dissapointing – Heard many good things about this steakhouse but i was very dissapointed. Had a reservation and waited over 30 minutes for our table and theplace wasnt even full. Atmosphere is too dark for me, servers were a bit too much asking me to fill a form out after my dinner. To my surprise i recived a postcard from my serversdays later. No thanks i get enough junk mail...Ill try another plce next tme

Definition of Perfection – After being seated in a quiet booth the experience got even better. Our server Christian was extremely knowledgeable and honest. The Steak Tartare was excellent, the salads were good(next time I will skip the salad and save room for the sides). Then the entrees the 2lb lobster was beatifully presented and more than enough for 1, the sirloin with a roquefort butter sauce was cooked perfectly through and the sauce only enhanced the flavor of the excellent cut of beef. The creamed spinach was great an... read more
