Capstone Grill is a local restaurant that serves seafoods, steaks, and other cuisine for lunch and dinner for dining in and takeout. My husband and I ate one dinner here. I had a reservation, which could be made only over the phone, but upon my arrival, many tables were available. The seating hostess and the waiter served us well. The menu listed starters (e.g., artichoke-crab dip and provolone wheel), soups, salads, entrees (e.g., pork chop, beef brisket, chicken-sausage penne, and shrimp scampi), seafoods (e.g., ahi yellowtail tuna, salmon, sea bass, trout, and scallops), sandwiches, desserts, alcoholic beverages, etcetera. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Bread with oil - 4 stars - This free bread was room temperature so could have been warmer, but it did taste good. Crab cake - 4.5 stars - Many people online had recommended this crab cake. I ate this crab cake as an appetizer, but it is also available as a main course. The crab cake was a medium size, and it contained a good amount of crab meat. Swordfish - 3.5 stars - The waiter recommended this fish, and I forgot that it is not one of my favorites. It came with an almond-banana crust. I could taste the almonds but not so much the banana. My sides were a cauliflower mix and a house salad. Filet mignon - 4 stars - My husband ordered this steak mid-rare. It had some red and pink but was not juicy. It did taste very good. My husband chose sides of a baked potato and a house salad, which tasted as expected. Pecan Ball - 4.5 stars - This dessert was ice cream covered in pecans, whipped cream, and a cherry. The total price for the four foods and one iced tea was $99 plus tax and a tip. read more

I really wanted to try a new place with my boyfriend and I saw that they do have Gluten Free options so we decided to come here. We sat at the bar and I got a Chocolate Pear Martini and my Boyfriend got a glass of one of their Red Blends. The bar tenders were very friendly and super attentive. My drink was delicious and ended up actually having 2! (I highly recommend it!) We started our meal with an appetizer - we got the Crab Artichoke Dip with Tortilla Chips. 10/10 would recommend! So creamy and flavorful. I am super picky with my Crab Dips but this was spot on delicious! For dinner I ordered the Brisket- you get 2 sides with it and I got a salad and a baked potato. My boyfriend got the 2 Crab Cakes- he was excited because not many places offer Gluten-free Crab Cakes- and he also got 2 sides. He got a salad and the mixed vegetables. The food was super delicious and so filling. Good price points ans great portion sizes! Finally for dessert we got the Gluten Free Chocolate Tort! It was so decadent and rich but not too overly sweet. A perfect dessert to end the night! We have been looking for more Gluten-free options around the South Hills and we found a good one! My boyfriend also loves seafood and since they have a lot of options we WILL be going back for more things to try! read more

Recently had dinner at Capstone again for the first time since my last review. It was excellent! Our server was awesome but I forget her name sadly. I haven't had crab cakes here in years and I don't know why - they were perfect! Our group also liked the bruschetta and zucchini fries. Drinks were great too. read more

I waited 10 minutes for a drink then after 25 minutes no service and the manager was rude

Friendly, comfortable, and very good food. Not the cheapest place in town but worth the money. We eat in sometimes and order out often.

Stopped in with some pals after golfing 18 nearby at Lindenwood. The place is nicely set up, clean and seating was comfortable. Our server was wonderful - friendly and she kept checking in and refilling drinks. Food was excellent...I had a red Roquefort salad and some stuffed banana peppers. Very tasty, especially the salad! The bread and dipping oil was exceptional. All good here...definately recommended! read more

Good food. A bit noisy. Excellent service. Would definitely go back if go early when it's not so crowded. Tables close together

Great service and good food. I had the manager's special which is filet mignon and crab cake. I've had better filet mignon. Overall a good experience. read more

Wonderful evening celebrating my mother in laws bday! Party of 8. Food was fabulous. Our server Melissa was excellent. Thank you Melissa And staff for making this a memorable evening. read more

A group of us came in here on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant was pretty busy but we called on the way there to see if they had a table for us. We ordered a bunch of appetizers. The three cheese bruschetta was my favorite. They also brought out fresh bread which was delicious. For my meal I ordered the salmon with the Cajun honey mango prep style. I would definitely order it again in the future. For my sides I got the green beans and a cup of the chowder. read more

Capstone grill has the best crab cake in town, that's a fact! Better than Monterrey bay! And if you are gluten free, you can ask for it to be made GF! Everything I've tried here from the salads to the fish dinners are excellent, and don't forget their seasonal featured beverages- always a treat. I have to add the service here is second to none, and even if you pop in a little before closing(30 min) they've always been good to us and happy to have the business. Friendly servers, great food in Peters township, what more could you ask for! read more

NOT ALLERGY FRIENDLY! Also, rude management and terrible food. My husband and I thought we would try a different restaurant for our anniversary, so we researched some places we hadn't tried that looked like nice restaurants. Capstone Grill offered a gluten free crabcake, which sounded good. With wheat and dairy allergies, it's hard finding a good meal, so I wanted to give them a try. Ordering was so upsetting that I almost walked out, though. When I told the server about my allergies, she said she would let the kitchen know. I ordered a salad and fries for the sides, but when I started to ask what was on the salad, she suddenly remembered that they put breading on their fries, so I wouldn't be able to have those. She suggested I get a baked potato, but they didn't have anything to put on it that accommodated my allergies. The only other side was a medley of vegetables that didn't sound appetizing. I opted to get the fries to go, assuming my daughter would be thrilled to eat them later. I never did get to ask what was on the salad, and the server didn't bring it up. They brought us salads after we had been at our table for 45 minutes, but mine only had a couple veggie chunks on the lettuce, while my husband's had those veggies plus cheese and croutons. The salad might have been ¾ cup of lettuce and veggies. I was starving by the time our entrees arrived, and I knew I wouldn't have much to eat because they didn't have any other sides I could have. When my plate arrived with the gluten-free crab cake, I was so disappointed. It wasn't very big and was completely flavorless. I devoured it so I wouldn't pass out, while my husband ate a full meal. He had steak and a regular crab cake, both of which were unseasoned, and the veggie medley, which proved to be inedible. While we were eating, the server offered my husband bread and didn't say anything to me. He politely declined out of respect for my plight. Once my husband finally finished his meal, I politely asked to speak with the manager, thinking I would do what I normally do and just kindly advocate for them to substitute allergens instead of leaving them out altogether because, hi, I'm hungry too, and I just paid the same amount as other people do for half a meal. (Our dinner totaled $100, by the way, so not cheap.) The manager came out ready to fight. When I approached the allergy issue with curiosity, she immediately started arguing that the restaurant had handled my meal properly. I mentioned that it would be nice to not only remove the allergens but offer a substitution, which most nicer restaurants suggest when I'm ordering. She said something about the fact that they offer gluten-free crab cakes, which I noted that I appreciate but also commented that there was no seasoning. It was flavorless. She cut me off to angrily tell me ad nauseum about how everyone loves the crab cakes. When I finally had space to speak again, I told her that I didn't actually want to talk about the crab cakes but rather the fact that nothing was substituted on the salad or an accommodation made for another side to create a full, balanced meal and that I barely had anything to eat because of that. She wouldn't stop talking about the crab cakes, so I ended it, just saying I would leave them a bad review instead. She told me, "Go ahead," and walked away. I walked out fuming, while my husband paid the bill. When we left, I felt a little sick and oddly full, but I brushed it off as having to do with the confrontation. My husband, though, had digestive issues all evening, which cut our time out short. I continued to feel sick all evening and ended up getting up in the middle of the night to vomit. The incidents of this evening easily could have been resolved if the manager hadn't been rude, and I wouldn't have bothered posting a review if she had been open to my discussion about handling food for people with allergies. However, I can't let their poor handling of my allergies, rude treatment, and illness go without letting the public know. I will NEVER eat at Capstone Grill again. read more

The food and services was outstanding. Crab cakes are a must. I would make a reservation.

Greatest treasure in the South Hills Area. Reservations not accepted.I suggest that one arrives early for diner specials are sometimes out. . The food is wonderful. Reminds me of the small beach places. It is family run and they treat you like a house guest . Try the beet salad and the creme brûlée . Any entree is excellent as well as the crab cakes . You'll love the place. read more

Stopped in for dinner. We sat at the bar. The bartender was good but overwhelmed with a full bar, three tables and all the drink orders for the restaurant. The have a nice drink list and wine list. Had to have the crab cakes because so many friends have said they are so good. I agree, the crab cakes are very good. Two sides came with my dinner. I had the homemade chips and a salad with red roquefort dressing, a dressing you do not see much of these days. All in all, good dinner and good service. read more

All of our food tasted like mayo, not sure how that happened? For a Friday night the restaurant was very slow, which was surprising. Bread was very good, appetizer not so much. Also, the clam chowder was ok but very salty. Potato pancakes completely plain, wouldn't order again. My crab cake appetizer was ok. Scallops entree was nice sized. read more

The best crab cakes you will ever eat. I am pretty picky whenever it comes to crab cakes because most are loaded with filler and not much meat at all. Capstone's crab cakes are loaded with crab meat and pair perfectly with their homemade remoulade sauce. I can't just order the single crab cake dinner, it always has to be the double because you are left wanting more due to how wonderful they are! They also have a great dessert tray each night! Highly recommend the dessert as well. read more

I have dined at capstone many times and always with a group of people. This particular night a group of friends went to dinner to catch up. I would like to note that this group is a group of service industry workers, from restaurant owners,servers, bartenders and retail. We have all done something with the public for many years. The kitchen took longer than normal to prepare our food but we didn't care because we were having fun catching up. Our original server was very nice and this review isn't about them. They had to step away momentarily. The second server( who the review is about) took over for a few minutes. She felt the need to reprimand us and tell us that we were rude, mean and asking for too much and that why our original server had to step away. We were shocked to hear that, (we felt we were nothing but nice) but mostly shocked that we as customers were being spoken too that way. In all my years of dining I have never been spoken too that way, not even at a dive bar. Needless to say she killed the mood. While we originally planning on having a few more drinks and some dessert. We just ended up leaving with plans to never return. Maybe we should have spoken to a manager but honestly we were shocked to be treated that way. read more

A good neighborhood restaurant and bar. The menu is all American and one of the few venues in the area that serves liver and onions, one of my faves. The service is good and when you are there you know where you are. read more

Great food, friendly service. Will go there again when in the South Hills of Pittsburgh

I went here for a group work holiday lunch. There were 8 of us and we didn't have a reservation. Even with the large group we were greeted by a friendly hostess and seated promptly. They offer bread service, the bread is fresh the oil flavor is good too. We ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms, bruschetta, and fried zucchini appetizers. They were paired with delicious sauces. The mushrooms were a good size and the crab filling was really meaty. The bruschetta had a baked cheese on the toasts which added another layer to the flavor. The fried zucchini straws were really crispy and addicting. I ordered the diver sea scallops prepared English style (cooked in butter and bread crumbs) and the New England style clam chowder and rice pilaf for my sides. The scallops were cooked perfectly, the chowder was just as good as what you can get in New England, actually it's one of the best that I've had in the Pittsburgh area. The rice pilaf was ok, it was a good accompaniment to the scallops. I requested extra lemon to squeeze on the scallops. Most of the group enjoyed their meals. Our server was really great. I did not give this restaurant a 5 star review because I felt like they need to upgrade the quality of their silverware and the dishes. I cannot stand going to an expensive restaurant and using "cheap" silverware. The dishes were so scratched from overuse that they appeared dirty. read more

Worst dinner I ever had. Walked in and they gave my kid candy and soda which she's never had before. The soup was gloopy like Campbells canned and the fish was smelly and old Will never go back read more

First time here & it did not disappoint! I got the pork chop entree and loved it. My bf got the sea bass & hush puppy shrimp special and said it was good as well. Great service too. read more

So glad we decided on Capstone for date night lastnight. Had great drinks perfectly cooked steak and sea bass but the topper for me is service. Being a server/bartender it's tough for me not to critique service. That being said Thank You Nichole for your knowledge and "give a damn" you just don't find much anymore in our business. Again to the Capstone Mgmt team.. don't let her get away as she compliments your business as much as your wonderful menu! We will be back very soon!! read more

What a hidden gem! I have driven past this restaurant 25+ times and we finally stopped in Thursday night. I called ahead and they held a table for my party of 3. The restaurant was very clean and tables were socially distanced properly. I had the Crabcake Sandwich and my husband had the Filet and Crabcake. We took 2 desserts to go that were A+ (Salted Carmel Brownie and Almond Tart Cake). We can't wait to go back next time we are in the area! read more

Extremely disappointed. I made a reservation several Months ago for a reception following my mother's funeral. Fortunately I had emails and a paper trail. I called to tell them we were on our way and the owner had absolutely no recollection of our conversation or the menu selections, and had no reservation for us. No real apology, nothing. Try finding a table for 18 at the spur of the moment. A horrible experience on a very difficult day. read more

Great ambiance, terrific food, but very hard to have a conversation over the noisy crowds of tables when they are busy. Thought the food took way too long to be served after ordering. Waitress was very attentive and charming. Would go back again but at an earlier time to avoid the high volume times. read more

My favorite! Have been coming here for years and food is always delicious! The crabcakes are the best you will find anywhere. The desserts are always incredible too and homemade! Highly recommend! read more

Hey, Yelp. Burger-Boy here. So it was my mom's birthday so we decided to go to this restaurant, the menu did look appealing to all of us. I ordered the Bacon Chedder burger, medium, and started waiting. To my surprise, free bread was brought to our table, and everyone likes free bread, and the bread itself was great. Got my burger and it was big, so squeezing was necessary to enjoy the sandwich. Took a bite and it was bland, generic and simple. Wasn't bad, wasn't good, just OK. Now when I put the sandwich down into a plate filled with its own grease I was, quite frankly, upset. I also got the Fries and Chips as my side, they were OK, fries were better than the chips though. My associates said their meals were fantastic, and recommended the Crab Mac and Cheese, so I guess I'm the only one who had a subpar experience. Don't get a burger here unless you absolutely need it, but for everything else on the menu, it seems like a good place to eat. read more

In the past month we've been to Capstone Grill 3 times for dinner, enjoying their crab cakes, fillets and clam chowder. Even purchased gift cards as gifts. However, my experience this evening has me rethinking my loyalty to this restaurant. While eating my vegetable side dish, I found a 2 inch piece of hard plastic. I brought this to the attention of our waitress who's response was ambivalent, like I was handing her my bread plate...like this happens all the time....she just had someone bring me another salad. The plastic object in my food was never discussed. I asked our waitress if the chef had been informed, she said "didn't the owner come by?" My response "no, just a server." Here the other server was the owner, who never acknowledged the plastic in my food. I asked to see the owner again and asked "how could this plastic have found its way into my vegetables?" Her response - "it comes vacuumed packed from the plant." No..."I am sorry....no 'can I offer you a dessert on the House'....her response was 'it's just plastic' ". In McMurray there are many other fine restaurants to patronize....I will no longer be spending my money at Capstone....pre-packaged vegetables from who knows where and an owner who is ambivalent about foreign objects in their guest's food...unacceptable. read more

Had dinner with friends there last night. Food was good. Clam chowder was average. Crab cakes were very good, and everyone else seemed to like their entrees. Only real issue was the server. She was unprofessional and made us feel very rushed. After dessert, she actually said we needed to leave because someone needed our table. There were several other empty tables, so not sure about that. Not in a rush to go back. read more

We had reservations for dinner last Saturday night for 7:30. We were running late and ended up being about 13 minutes late getting to the restaurant. And the person whom had made the reso forgot her phone. Upon arrival, we were told that they had given our table for 4 away. Needless to say, we were NOT happy. I have never had this happen to us anywhere we have made reservations. We have been going to this restaurant for many years, but that was our last visit. Totally disappointed in their response. read more

So I have eaten several times at Capatone Grill. It is a local place I visit when in the area. It is not a chain restaurant or some trendy type. It is just a great local place with fresh food and entrees. They are know for their crab cakes, which I did have one on my last visit. No filler and baked to perfection. The waitress was great her name was Gianna or Bella: she explained all the specials and options for the meal. The whole meal was good. I had Mediterranean chicKen with a side crab cake. If you want chain food there are two choices down the road. If you want a good meal go to Capstone. read more

Went on a date with my hubby last night. This was our first time at Capstone. I have a really hard time getting him to try new places, so this was a success just because he got something new and enjoyed it! We had the bruschetta as an appetizer. It came with a basil aiolli...this is a big YUCK for my hubby (won't eat ANYTHING creamy!), so the waitress kindly returned it to the kitchen and brought us a fresh one...delicious! I had the sea scallops with the blackened Cajun spice! They were cooked to perfection and I LOVED the heat from the Cajun spices. I had a side salad (very generous portion) and sauteed Brussels sprouts with baby carrots. For dessert I had a raspberry and peach filled white cake...everything was fantastic if a little pricey. My husband had the sea bass with the rosemary lemon vinaigrette recommended by the server. He had the pasta and side salad as well. For dessert he chose the carrot cake. He thoroughly enjoyed the sea bass, said the pasta was okay, it didn't WOW him, and he thought the carrot cake was a little dry. Loved the atmosphere and the service was impeccable. We've had larger portions and more filling options at other restaurants for less money, but we will probably return to try the crab cakes and filet because we heard a lot of good things about those particular menu items. read more

Big thanks to the staff at Cambria Suites (Washington PA) for recommending this place. Everything was right: our friendly server Ashley, the restaurant owner Mary Beth who visited our table (not that creepy table touch you sometimes get, but a nice interaction), and the food was fresh and delicious!! There are seven in our party -- friends from college -- spending the weekend in the area. It seemed pretty clear this is a favorite of locals, and Ashley seemed genuinely surprised that we were first timers from out of town. We'll definitely be back!! read more

I have not had a bad meal here or have my friends i was with for lunch or dinner. Crab cakes have almost no filler with big lumps of crab and salmon almond crusted '- both Re favs. My one friend likes the sirloin with sautee mustrooms. All my out of town visitors want to revisit Capstone for crab cakes or the pick your fish/pick your prep menu. Great white bean chili and roqufort salad (you can add a of crab, sirloin or salmon) is delicious at lunch read more

I stopped in the capstone grill to have a meal with a friend.. a very nice young lady was getting our table ready for us when the owner or manager approached the young girl and started yelling at her for not having things ready.. nobody should speak to anyone the way she was speaking to her especially not in front of guests.. the food is good but I'll never return to this place of business due to how she treats her employees.. I would not recommend this place at all.. read more

Excellent seafood every single time. Outstanding service. Highly recommend. The best Chilean Sea Bass anywhere !!!!

I have had two completely opposite experiences here. My family and I went here in November for a birthday celebration. It couldn't have been better. Their fried oysters appetizer was a huge hit. The meal was quite good. In fact it was so good, I received a gift card for the holidays so we could go back and enjoy it again. Last weekend I returned - and was SO disappointed. The salad lacked flavor and taste. Our fried calamari was beyond bland. The veal chop special was tough and unpleasant. Fortunately, they hit a home run with the stuffed trout. Amazing. If the Capstone Grill had consistency, I'd be a regular. read more

Seafood is the specialty here. A wide variety available (10+ types of fish, shellfish) with the diner in charge of the major decisions of what method and/or sauce. Part of me thinks this is a good idea, opening up a multitude of variations, and part of me thinks this is a cop-out on the part of the kitchen--failing to make a decision what best suits each seafood. I chose Alaskan Halibut. First decision was the smaller (6oz) or larger portion. Then, I needed to select a prep. Some of the options that I can recall: Cajun, English (butter+bread crumbs),Simply Char Grilled, Basil Aioli, blackened. There are MANY more options. I went with Parmesan Peppercorn cream sauce. I was then asked what temperature (such as rare, medium, well etc). For halibut? Loved the fish! Really. The best piece of fish I have had for a really long time. I opted for a "Cauliflower Mash" as a side instead of baked potato. Bad decision. Just the sort of dish that gives cauliflower a bad name. It was a strange texture, loaded with some kind of cheese and it smelled (like stinky cauliflower did when my mom used to boil it to death) Desserts offered are all cakes, pies and pastries from Bethel Bakery. So, they were definitely quality, but another cop-out. Nothing offered was house made. Random Notes: there are tv's here & there around the place. We were able to watch Pitt lose in the NCAA first round. Service was average; our waitress forgot a few items and had to be reminded, but I got the impression that she had quite a few tables. read more
