Good steaks, very good service. Our waiter gave us good recommendations for our orders. We received complimentary appetizer of lobster soup. And complimentary chocolate expresso tart with glasses of sparkling wine.

Our dinner at The Capital Grille was fantastic. The atmosphere was perfect...sophisticated, elegant, comfortable, and designed to accommodate pleasant conversation without having to raise one's voice to be heard. The staff were wonderful, patient, and caring in all areas...personal presentation, listening carefully, speaking in professionally-friendly tones, accommodating reasonable requests, delivering orders in an efficient manner and making the food visually attractive. One of our entrees was seafood and the other was beef. Both were made and delivered at the exactly correct temperature and level of "done-ness". The desserts were absolutely delicious as well. Our meals were perfect in taste and in volume. We celebrated a birthday at my table and the staff was generous in providing an unexpected and beautiful dessert made especially for our occasion. Our table consisted of good friends who hadn't seen each other in a long while, so our conversation was important to us. The staff respected our "space" and we never felt rushed or pressured. We were thrilled with the whole experience and felt that it was worth the price that we paid.

Fabulous place for our eight person business lunch! Food and service were excellent and they fulfilled our request made when reserving — that we have a table away from where others where we could discuss business. Didn't have to ask when we arrived as it was all taken care of. Our server Milot B was absolutely amazing (& patient!). A wonderful experience, again!

I found myself at The Capital Grille for an educational dinner. Steakhouses are tried and true favorites for these types of events, which has led me to patron almost all of the major chains. That being said, it was only a matter of time before I ended up at CG. I've actually been to the CG in Greenwich for pleasure, and out of all the steakhouse chains I've been to it's one of my favorites. While I had passed this location multiple times, I've never dined here - so I was looking forward to their offerings. The interior of this CG is typical of other locations as well as other steakhouses in general: upscale finishes, wood tones playing against a dark color scheme, and an overall masculine aesthetic. We were seated in a private room where those aesthetics continued - overall the decor looked great. Like many of these dinners I've been to, the menu was prix fixe - we were given a mixed green salad to start and flourless chocolate cake for dessert. For our main, we had a choice of steak, chicken and salmon - I went against type and ordered salmon. To complement the entrees, we were given sides of mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. The salad and dessert were standard - both were good but nothing too outstanding. I was impressed with the salmon - it had a glaze on it that didn't overpower the fish, and overall had a great flavor. The sides were really tasty too - both the potatoes and the spinach were creamy without being too rich, and went well with the meal. Service was good - food came out at a good pace and everyone was friendly. One thing I found strange was that our bread basket was taken away once our main was served - not sure if that was intentional but it would have been nice to have it kept on the table in case we wanted more carbs - especially in light of the fact that there was still bread in it. It's a minute misstep however compared to the service as a whole. Overall, I had a good experience at Capital Grille and would have no qualms returning to this location.

Taras was our waiter and he was exceptional. We came to celebrate before our upcoming wedding and they truly pulled all the stops. It was such an incredible experience, and the food was AMAZING.

Have to start with the service because that alone gets a 5. Constant attention, perfect timing on the food, impeccable plating. Spectacular reccomdations. I'll start with the bacon and corn. If it wasn't a steak house I would just of gotten a bucket of that. It was amazing. Yes you can say bacon makes everything better but this was exquisite. The steaks and sides were great. Fries were perfect. Even though this is on 42nd street which I tend to avoid, the location is easy and right by the train. As Arnold says, I'll be back.
