Capital Grille

The Capital Grille has consistently proved to me that it is a great place for fine dining. The service is absolutely phenomenal. The food and drinks are at the highest standards. I would highly recommend going there if you are looking to have a special evening or just looking for a nice place to eat. It's definitely worth it!

Dined here with a large group for my birthday. Service was excellent (prompt, informative and attentive). Wine list is extensive. We had the calamari and kobe carpaccio as starters. The calamari as mentioned in other reviews is spicy and excellent. As a dish the calamari is in a league of it's own and a must have at this restaurant. One of the diners did not eat beef. The staff gladly prepared a fish dish to her liking. The aged steaks are great. I had the kona crusted sirloin which was perfectly prepared in terms of the doneness requested. The steak au poivre was also very good. Truffle parmesan fries and creamed spinach were enjoyed as sides by all. They bought out a free dessert for my birthday (flour less chocolate cake). Reservations were made on open table and my friend had mentioned my birthday. They did not need any other prompts. Other desserts like creme brulee and fruit with fresh cream were all well received. This restaurant is consistent for couples and large groups. This wasn't my first time here and I cant wait to return.

The Kona Encrusted Sirloin is the best steak you will ever have. The only negative is that any steak you have after this one will be inferior. The atmosphere is noisy and not geared toward a romantic, quiet evening.

We were a bit rushed by the waiter when we were there which was disconcerting. The waiter told us to put in our dinner order right away when we ordered appetizers. Our entrees came out 5 minutes after we got our salads and appetizers. We complained and he told us he would put them under the "warmers" if we liked. We opted against that plan and just kept them.

Drinks are expensive ($8 for a cocktail) but this is Philly. Bottom line, go there and try the steak.

My husband and I were very happy with the service and food at the Capital Grille. After being told by many of our friends that it's the best steak in town, we decided to give it a try. It really is great steak. The calamari was also fantastic - they put hot peppers in it so it is very flavorful. The wine list is exceptional - so many to choose from that you're bound to find something you like. The service was also great.

We took our two young girls to the Capital Grille on Sunday before High School Musical. Our kids are huge high school musical fans and the 6 year old loves steak so we were trying to make it a special night, and it was. We were not sure if it was the kind of restaurant to take the kids to but they loved it. Everyone made it a very good experience for them, and treated them like little princesses. From giving them each a full coloring book and crayons to entertain them to making a special dish of chicken fingers and fries for the 4 year old. They both had a great time. My husband and I loved the calamari, tender with a little bit of zing from the peppers. I had the lobster crab cakes for dinner, loved them as well. My husband and daughters steaks were cooked to perfection (she likes hers medium rare!!). All in all I would definitely take the whole family back again. We loved it.
