GM Jill greeted me with a big welcoming smile!
Jill is the consummate professional leading her team by a strong example !
Juanita our waitress created an “indulging environment”! Her service was outstanding - particulary when she served me my vodka Martini - chilled to perfection - poured into my glass up to the rim of the glass. We ordered beef & tuna plates - prepared to perfection - begun with my favorite jumbo shrimp cocktail. We look forward to returning. Bonnie from Manhattan.
Food is normally great but my meal was salty that night. The manager apologized and made up for it. Taylor our waiter was great. She was attentive and took great care of us.
Provides a quality meal with attentive service!
This spot is definitely meant for business lunches, and dinners. Try the Capital Grille Cobb salad!
The Capital Grille is an amazing and well-regarded fine dining steakhouse chain that’s known for offering exquisite lamb chops, chicken, salmon, steaks along with other well made dishes in a relaxed and upscale atmosphere.
Owned and operated by Darden Restaurant, it has multiple locations throughout the United States and has a few locations internationally.
In February of 2026, I brought and treated my wife and myself for dinner at Capital Grille, specifically the branch based in the MetLife Building of Midtown East in Manhattan, New York. We visited the restaurant to celebrate our “Happy Eight Year Wedding Anniversary” and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our time there!!!
The staff were very friendly and welcoming and quickly provided us with a very large and comfortable dining table. We thank the members of the staff for stopping by our table to acknowledge our anniversary, for their warm wishes and for sprinkling our table with anniversary decorations!!!
Both my wife & I were in absolute awe of the beauty and elegance of Capital Grille’s interior design. We both loved the art deco style dim lighting, the gorgeous oil portraits, the mahogany stained ceiling and walls, and the magnificent ceiling lights. The interior settings along with the playing of light jazz certainly helped produce a very classy, cozy and refined dining experience.
Our server for the evening, Joshua N. was unquestionably a consummate professional!!! He was very kind, attentive, and was immensely knowledgeable regarding the menu options and specials for the day. Joshua also did a great job on addressing our menu inquiries, documenting our menu orders, and offered great suggestions on the meals that my wife would prefer for her dinner.
In addition, Joshua wished us a wonderful anniversary, provided us with a delicious complimentary dessert and adeptly scooped and shared our side dishes on our entree meal plate. We both thank Joshua for his superb professionalism and great hospitality. Capital Grille is indeed blessed to have him on their team.
Last but certainly not least, my wife and I absolutely loved our meals!!! My wife ordered and enjoyed her “Dry Aged Strip Steak” entree and I ordered and enjoyed my “Citrus Glazed Salmon” entree. We also found our soup appetizers and our side dishes which included the “sautéed spinach” and “mashed potatoes” to be highly flavorful and scrumptious!!! Without question, all of our meals at Capital Grille were impeccably cooked, perfectly seasoned, and flawlessly delicious!!!
We are deeply grateful for the wonderful dining experience provided by the staff at Capital Grille and truly appreciate their great service in celebrating our anniversary!!! It’s an experience that we’ll treasure forever and we highly recommend for everyone to visit and dine at this outstanding steakhouse restaurant!!!
I recently dined at The Capital Grille for lunch, and it was an overall enjoyable experience!
Food: The steak was exceptional—cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. I also tried the lobster mac and cheese, which was rich and creamy. The menu offers a great selection of wines that complement the dishes beautifully.
Service: Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, recommending great pairings and ensuring we had everything we needed. The service was prompt, though there were moments when it felt a bit rushed.
Atmosphere: The restaurant boasts an elegant and sophisticated ambiance, with comfortable seating and tasteful decor. It’s a great place for a special occasion or a business lunch.
Overall, I highly recommend The Capital Grille! I look forward to returning to explore more of their menu.
I like it thank you
I went to an industry event in one of the private rooms, I would recommend to anyone for both business and personal dinning.
The best steakhouse in New York City!!
