    The Capital Burger at Reston Town Center offers gourmet, juicy burgers and a comfortable atmosphere with a large bar and multiple seating options. It provides a steakhouse-like burger experience, with an extensive wine list and a variety of cocktails. We visited for breakfast, and their breakfast burger was excellent--juicy and satisfying. The pancake was simple yet delicious, topped with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and plenty of blueberries. The applewood-smoked bacon and egg on a brioche burger were okay. However, the coffee was disappointing: the cappuccino was too acidic, and the café latte was more like a café au lait with lots of milk. Service was adequate, but the upscale ambiance felt outdated and in need of upgrades. The nearby parking garage operated by Hyatt charges for parking, unlike other garages in Reston Town Center, which are free on Sundays. Street parking is also free on Sundays with a 2-hour limit, so avoid parking at the Hyatt garage.

    It's a really hearty breakfast burger early on Saturday morning. Nice service, perfectly cooked food, and a clean bar concept. I am excited to try more food here.

    Seared Salmon salad

    After a FANTASTIC NYE celebration and a great nights sleep we couldn't bring ourselves to leave the hotel so here we are. I must say for hotel restaurant fare THIS FOOD SLAPS. Let's start with the house made bread and butter pickles. My word! So crunch and semi sweet with the onions? We had two servings and asked if they were for sale? Drinks were perfect. That Old Fashioned with the smoked candied BACON, sweet, smoky, STRONG. If you're a bourbon drinker YOU KNOW. The Playa Paradiso fruity with tequila was okay needed another shot tho. The signature Capital Burger... juicy and flavorful as is. Don't add one condiment! I upgraded to the truffle fries. They were garlicky and delicious. The calamari was spicy crunchy and mouth watering. The Seared Salmon salad was delicious with the hot honey and fresh sweet pineapple. Cozy spot , good food and excellent service. Hope you get Andre's section He gave me pickle to go

    Roasted Wild Mushroom and Swiss Burger

    I stopped by for lunch and ordered the roasted mushroom and Swiss burger which came with my choice of side- I chose Brussels sprouts. The burger was very good! Cooked well and very tasty. The bun was buttery and soft. Patty was moist and well seasoned. Mushrooms and Swiss pairing was great! The Brussels sprouts were okay. A little too sweet for me.

    Place is alright, I knew it wouldn't be like Capital Grille proper but parts of the restaurant could use some renovation. Anyway, food is alright as well but for a place that focuses on burgers I was a little bit disappointed. I'm not sure what I was expecting but the Blue Cheese and Black Truffle Burger was a little bit flavorless which is strange given that blue cheese is usually very strong. I couldn't even really tell that it had blue cheese to be frank. Anyway price point it's decent and there's a good beer selection, in my mind it's the ideal happy hour hang out after work. Too bad I don't work nearby.

    Belgian Chocolate Mousse. Rich, creamy, and delicious!

    I just had a wonderful late night dining experience at The Capital Burger. I am staying at the hotel, and it was very conveniently located, plus they are open late. The atmosphere was relatively chill, and the restaurant itself was not particularly full, although the bar area was hopping. The space was well lighted and immaculately clean. My server, Ariana, was absolutely lovely, and her service was attentive and friendly. She made sure that my water glass was full and that I had refills on my Diet Coke. You can tell that she takes pride in her work, that she is a "people person," and that she enjoys her job. The manager stopped by my table a couple of times to check in, and he was friendly, professional and conversational. I was very happy with my order, which was a bacon cheeseburger with a side of brussels sprouts (in lieu of fries) and a Belgium chocolate mousse for dessert. The burger was cooked perfectly, and the quality of the meat as well as the accoutrements was high. Everything was delicious, fresh, nicely presented. I enjoyed the experience thoroughly, and I will certainly be back.

    I dropped in at the Capital Burger on my way to Washington Dulles International Airport. The salmon was grilled perfectly. The dish of the salad was a bit small. So, I had to eat it carefully to avoid spilling the salad. Since I got accustomed to the size of meals in the U.S., almost all the dishes are felt to be small now. The person there was kind and attentive. I am satisfied with these last dishes in the U.S.

    Pretty mixed feelings on this place now. They used to be sooooo good. But after the most recent visit, it seems like the food has declined in quality. The burgers normally melted in your mouth. But now it felt like they switched how they made the patties because they definitely don't melt anymore. And it also feels like the burgers themselves don't taste as flavorful. It's like they forgot seasoning or something. And considering the prices are now all over $20 when they used to be $15 a year ago, I expect more from them. They upped the prices and reduced the quality. Quite sad considering I used to recommend them all the time. The service has also gone down in quality over the past year. It can be not busy and yet you won't see your server for 15 mins at a time. There's a line that can be drawn about visiting too often and not enough. The ambiance is darker. Definitely makes it feel more intimate and romantic. Wish the food still matched that energy. I can't highly recommend this place anymore. Perhaps they will read their recent reviews and do better. It's sad that something that shares The Capital Grille namesake is this disappointing.

    Pan-Fried Calamari + @Parmesan Truffle Fries
    Dana G.

    I had lunch here while staying here for a conference, and it was lovely! The pickles that arrive immediately as a starter were delicious. Our server was so kind and helpful! Our meal arrived quickly and was delicious. I had the calamari with a side of truffle fries. The fries were PERFECT. The calamari was cooked perfectly, as well. The service was the best part of the experience. Our server was nice enough to give me a to-go soda. We popped in that evening to see if we could get disposable silverware for dessert takeout we'd grabbed from a nearby restaurant, and they gladly obliged our request.

    This is for a room service order. I got the Capital Burger and it was delicous! So juicy and easy to order. Also, I sat in the restuarant for a few drinks with coworkers and the service was great. After hours, it does get packed, but they have enough tables to have you and your group seated. Service was great for the times that I was there.

    The Capital Burger in Reston is a delicious spot for all of your burger cravings! Popped into this location on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant is dimly lit, spacious, and provides a welcoming atmosphere to small and larger groups alike. To start off the meal, we ordered the Parmesan Truffle Fries with Parsley. I really enjoyed how flavorful each fry was and finished these quite quickly :) For my entree, I went with the Capital Burger medium rare with a side of mash potatoes. The meat was juicy, but not the most flavorful. The Wisconsin Gruyere cheese and caramelized onions truly made the meal complete. I do wish I could have tasted the Shallot Aioli a bit more. The mash potatoes were smooth, but a bit bland. I would have appreciated some other flavor like garlic to accompany. The service was speedy and extremely accommodating! I appreciated the small touches like the jar of pickles placed at each table! Overall, a great burger spot for a date night or family event. This restaurant is connected to a hotel making it a convenient stop if you find yourself traveling in the area!

    Post Great Falls stroll, we worked up a huge craving for a satisfying burger. Came here with high expectations and this spot, overall, fell shy of that. We ordered- -King Pao Brussel Sprouts ($9): very flavorful spicy soy glaze coating topped with bacon bits. devoured within a few minutes.. very tasty savory app & recommend! -Capital Burger w/ side of parmesan truffle fries ($25): cooked medium & very juicy, thick layer of carmelized onions, gooey gruyère cheese. fries were fragrant, perfectly crisp and delicious! Recommended by our server and definitely the better of the two entrees! -Ribeye Steak Sandwich w/ side of caesar salad ($33): even with the cabernet-braised red onions and gruyère cheese, this was dry and lacked seasoning/ flavor. Unfortunately, ribeye itself was not tender nor enjoyable with every bite. Our server spoke highly of this which is what sold us in getting it instead of a burger, but we were unsatisfied & extremely underwhelmed. Perhaps it was an off day, but would not recommend. Complimentary thick-cut pickles, instead of bread n butter, were tangy & fresh! Overall, most of the food was tasty but one of the main entrees was a HUGE miss. Service was good, though we felt like our server was overbearingly enthusiastic on this place offering the best..

    Suprised the ratings aren't higher. Whether you are eating it there or to go I would put this against any other burger.

    I can confidently say this is my favorite Indian restaurant I've been to in the area so far…read more Everything from the food to the service exceeded my expectations. It's conveniently located in Reston Town Center inside the Hyatt Regency hotel. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was rich, creamy, and had just the right amount of spice. It paired perfectly with the warm Garlic Naan, and I found myself reaching for every last bite. I also tried the Mango Lassi, which was smooth, refreshing, and a great balance to the spices in the meal. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

    Was delightfully surprised. I'm usually not a huge fan of Indian food but we were at RTC for a…read morekids festival and wanted to stay close to the action. It's great that parking is free in the nearby ramps on the weekend. The restrooms aren't far but you do need to exit the restaurants. The server was attentive and friendly. She got my daughter a kid friendly water cup and spoon. She also suggested non spicy options since I wanted to make sure my toddler would try as much as possible. Portions were generous and drinks were delicious. My toddler was still a little bit picky and honestly I'm not used to all of the traditional Indian spices but I'm glad we tried it. Also it was a bit on the pricey side but to be expected given the location and more elevated ambiance. We were able to bring home some leftovers which was nice not having to stress out about another meal afterwards.
