The Capital Grille is the place to go for a professional business lunch . You have to try the Parmesan Truffle Fries and the Lobster Mac ‘N’ Cheese . The dirty martini is excellent too.

Rameeka Hinton

The steaks & sam's mashed potatoes are to die for. Johnny is the best bartender in nyc he knows how to make you feel welcome

Andrea Naletto

The Porcini Delmonico steak is outstanding.The porcini mushroom flavor is subtle yet the balsamic is smoothly persistent. Cool Ipad-based wine menu guides the wine pairing along with cordial servers.

Tom Halleran

Very good for working meals and business meetings . Steaks are a cut below what you can get a few blocks away at Palm and other nearby mainstays. Seafood tower will make you happy, though.

Annie Tsai

Vegetarians : if you ask your waiter , there are a usually a few off menu entrees the kitchen can make for you, e.g. pasta with vegetables or a seared tofu dish when I was last there.

Alice Nam

Dined in for a restaurant week lunch special . Lively yet classy ambience . Good food. If I ever come back, it would be because of the lunch-time sunlight and the creme brulee

Diane Morales

We had such an amazing evening! Thanks to our server Daniel who was incredible! We we're there celebrating a momentous occasion and it was made more special by the exceptional service we received!

Helen

The roasted mushrooms and lobster mac are really good. Everything is good here except the steaks . It's just not aged well and how they cook it is very inconsistent. Go for the sides, not the steak

Marie La Rue

Yes it's a chain but it rocks. Perfect for a business lunch or team dinner . Service is on point. Seared tuna and Surf & Turf were standouts.

Davide Chiaruzzi

My family and I had a great dinner.The delmonico steak was wonderful enough for 2.i had a sushi tuna that was real good. Fine wine and delicious dessert .a little bit expansive but it is worth it.

Damian Bayona

The burger is excellent. The quality of the meat is noticeable. Pair with a cab or pinot for optimal enjoyment ????????

Norman Ellis

The perfect Grill lunch : Crab meat cocktail appetizer , the Petite Filet medium rare, the kick ass Lobster Mac "n" Cheese and Wild Mushrooms on the side and end with the Creme Brulee . YUM!

Caroline Kay Hwa Tan

Omg! Generous portions of food for restaurant week ! Definitely worth it. Though my medium rare steak felt more like a medium. So if you like it medium rare, ask for it to be more rare than medium!

Sam Straka

This is by far the best steakhouse in NYC and within the US top-10. The filet mignon is just superb!

Randall Stempler

Continuing until Sept. 2, The Capital Grille is having its "The Generous Pour--Summer Wine Event " which features nine very good wines for $25. This is an excellent value and should not be missed.

Allison Otis

Honestly everything is amazing but if you have a sweet tooth, their cheesecake is a must! Creme brûlée crust, need I say more?

Norman Ellis

One can have lunch here without breaking the bank ..by NYC standards. The Lobster and Crab burger is excellent and not crazy pricey . Their signature cheeseburger is also a tasty option. Make sure to or

Karen

The food here is typical of a steakhouse and the service is moderately good. The ambiance is charged with power, as this location caters to the business world.

Kristine Rosko

Business-attire recommended. Often a part of NY Restaurant Week . Smaller portions. Pricey . Within walking distance of Chrysler building. Extensive wine list .

Ashley Shen

Fresh Mozzarella , Tomato , and Basil . Parmesan Truffle Fries . And definitely the Porcini rubbed Delmonico. Perfection.

Olivier Treillou

The flourless chocolate cake is the best chocolate cake that I have ever eaten in my life. The best cake for me in the whole world.

Derek Kelly

Lobster mac and Cheese was good, noodles were a bit under cooked. The steak was amazing!!

Alyssa B.

Great tasting ribeye -cooked to temp

Sugeiry Rodriguez

The Sirloin was sooooo good, would go back just for that. The service was also on point. Good choice for restaurant week .

Jason Robinson

Everything I had was great, and Megan behind the bar was even better!

Michael G.

Not a place for calorie counting. Don’t skip the lobster mac and cheese , burrata , creamed spinach , and potatoes au gratin . Basically, all the things with cheese .

Peter Roth

Perhaps the best lobster mac and cheese with the exception of Joe's Stone Crab in Miami.

Amy Langford

Ambience is darker but definitely sets a mood. Food & service are great.

Sally Estefan

Spinach salad is fantastic. Also Sanjay Gupta has a liquor locker here

John Burke

It doesn't matter what entree you get...you have to order the Sam's mashed as a side. But actually.

Ali Erguven

Very fine and exiting place for business meals...

Adam Kaplan

Filet with Mushrooms and Onions is amazing.

Katie Pitre

Great bar , lovely service, spacious seating ... oh, and amazing steaks ! Lobster mac & cheese is awesome!

jeff kay

Best steak around. Seriously... forget what you might think, and try it. But sit in the back "glass" room. Oh, and service is great too... they kiss great ass here!

Jake Pearce

Ask for the Mash potato with potatoes from Idaho. It is the best mashed potato I have ever tasted.

Harriet Rush

The Grilled Brussels Sprouts are DELICIOUS!

Alexandra

Beware of creepy old waiter with glasses that hovers over you while you're eating, looks at you behind pillars, and watches your every move. Stalker status.

Jen Borus

Lobster and crab burger is very tasty!

Amanda Marks

Expensive but great service, great atmosphere

Damien K

Wonderful T-bones and lobsters . Wines are overpriced.

Alissa Villarreal

Get a dirty martini or 3 and the Lobster Mac & Cheese ...decadent!

Keeping It Real

Terrible customer hosting service, as I am in town on tour myself and celebrity guest we were sat in the far back corner by the kitchen closet. Never again

Trevor

Lobster mac and steaks

Jennifer Graham

website prices were WAY different than menu prices. They didn’t honor the online price. Steak was very dry not worth the price, potatoes al gratin was horrid.

Carole Nichols

It was good. The steak was dry but tasty.

Anthony Assoon

order the lobster

Amanda V

Ask Capital Grille to treat their workers with dignity!

Kathy V

Great tenderloin sliders

Kris Olan

Delicious food

Alex Akers

Apparently you can’t just call it the “grill” because that wouldn’t be very capital of you. “GRILLE!” “Ah, that’s better.”
