I literally walk by this spot everyday i use to walk by it everyday when it was at the Chrysler building I always said I have to give it a try today was that day ! Celebrating my anniversary they had a nice card and confetti on the table for us. Super cute and nice . Our waiter massi was funny and very interactive he made the experience even better. Capital grille is a very nice spot not overly fancy as far as dress code . The price point wasn't bad a lot of people complained to me that "it's expensive " I definitely didn't feel like it and to be honest you want great food and great service you gotta pay for it . Anyways let's get to the food !!! We started with -lobster bisque 10/10 -lobster and crab cake 10/10 -Tuna tartare which the waiter mixes and serves you at the table 10/10 -bacon 9/10 The mains -15 oz rib eye season in peppercorns with congac sauce 10/10 - filet mignon 10/10 - salmon served with string beans onions and almonds 8/10 this was good but I feel like it need a sauce or something maybe a squeeze of lemon I loved how it was cooked delicious The steaks were made to everyone's preference Sides - Brussels sprouts with bacon 10/10 -creamy spinach 10/10 the flavor on this was delicious and paired great with the salmon - mushrooms. 8/10 Deserts -apple tart with toasted almond gelato this was out of this world delicious - fresh berries with a sweet cream on top nice for a palate cleanser The waiter brought out a nice anniversary plate with a small cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake a strawberries is a sauce that was insanely delicious. There wasn't anything we ordered that wasn't good even the cocktails were delicious. They have a drink that had beef tallow and strips of bacon in it... it looks wild but tastes amazing. They also have a bourbon drink that has brown sugar in it lordddd it's a lil sweet but shitttt it was good ! Overall I had a very great experience for my first time I can't wait to come back I hope I get Massi again really fun guy ! Thank you for making us have a great anniversary!!! Truly an elevated experience read more

100% amazing meal. Came on a Friday, late afternoon for happy hour. Roger behind the bar was amazing. Super friendly and made amazing drinks. Got the Caesar salad bites, happy hour sliders and their happy hour steak. Everything was just amazing. Ended with the coconut cream pie. I don't love coconut but my wife wanted it and I couldn't have been happier with her decision. read more

We were sat right away after being greeted with a warm welcome. The place was clean and not that loud. Amazingly it wasn't that crowded for a Fri night. I may spell her name wrong, Kristen was our host. She was very welcoming and easy to talk to. The table ordered mash potatoes and asparagus to share. The place is a la carte. One friend had a chicken Cesar salad and a crab cake. She said the salad was amazing but the crab cake was a bit dry. I agree about the crab cake. My other friend had the filet mignon. No complaints there because he devoured it. I ordered the 14oz NY strip med well. My only complaint was some parts of it were cooked just right, tender etc and for some reason some parts were a bit tough to chew. I do recommend the house steak sauce, it has more of a sweeter taste to it then A1 if you like steak sauce. read more

Had a work lunch here this week. We were given a private room which was amazing!!! The seafood tower was amazing. Sadly I don't eat steak so I got the chicken sandwich wasn't great but what can I do. The broccoli side was delicious though. The service was the best though. Every single server made sure we were taken care of. read more

I had lunch here and had a great time! I shared the calamari (8/10 could've been crispier), brussel sprouts (8/10), and lobster mac (10/10 so delicious) with my colleagues and then ordered the Cobb salad without Gorgonzola (8/10 the bacon was really good! I wasn't a huge fan of the dressing though) Fantastic service and delicious food! read more

We didn't have a reservation, however arriving on a Saturday early evening there was no issue getting a table. Every staff member from the hostess to the manager were just so lovely and made us feel welcomed. The wine list offers a nice variety of by the glass options as well as bottles. We need to start by showing some love to the bread basket. This is the best bread basket I've seen in a long time. An onion bread, pumpernickel, everything roll and large crackers were all exceptional, served with a wonderful perfectly soft butter. We started off with the crab cocktail which was served with a lovely creamy Dijon dipping sauce. The lump crab was so succulent and delicious. The ribeye was cooked to a flawless medium and seasoned to perfection and was just delectable. The. NY strip au poirve was also fantastic. Again cooked perfectly and the sauce was excellent. The side dishes can easily feed 3-4 people, so we had leftovers. The roasted mushrooms were savory and excellent, as was the potato au gratin. The flourless chocolate espresso cake was divine and the espresso was smooth and bold. We loved our time at Capital Grill and would return in a heartbeat. read more

Stopped by for a casual dinner in the lounge area on a Saturday when they weren't too busy and had a great dinner. The Wagyu & Wine was terrific. We had The Grille's Wagyu Cheeseburger and the Wagyu Mushroom Swiss Burger - both were great and cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the Chips & Caviar upgrade. The staff also truly added to the experience. We got a warm welcome and conversation from the host team and our server Victoria was very friendly and helpful. read more

Horrible. My friend and I had the Generous Pour, more like the Cheap Pour. I have done this the last 15 years, my friend his first time. Pours were 3 ounces vs a normal 5 ounce glass of wine. Laura, the Manager came to us and corrected this. We finished dinner and Paul someone else came and cut us off. We actually felt threatened. Paul said my friend did not know where he was sitting and was cutting us off because of this. My friend's first time here. We were fine. Generous Pour doesn't mean Limited Pour and a time limit. I gave my Amex Platinum for one more glass of wine. It was contentious. Paul was an ass hole, fire him. Laura came back and comped the dinner. I wanted to pay anyway but she refused my Platinum. I told her,I felt threatened by Paul. Cap Grille, you need to fix this! I have a res for next week, WTF? read more

I have been visiting the capital grille located in Grand Central. Such a glamorous place for both business and personal dinning. I'd visited with a group of friends for an early dinner on a Friday evening. We ordered macaroni and cheese for appetizer and oh my, it was so cheesy and tasty. Most definitely the best macaroni and cheese I had in a while and definitely shareable. For entree, I had salmon served with some greens. The presentation was close to perfection and it tasted magnificent. It was rich, buttery and had this shimmering and crispy look! The serving portion was perfect for one person. For drinks, I appreciated some champagne that's always a good idea. I forgot to mention that the bread was so yummy! Omg! I could eat the bread non stop. The staff were super welcoming and always in a happy mood. read more

Came here for a friend's event recently. Had a very nice time. the host and hostess at the front desk were super polite, stored my coat and bag, and promptly took me to the private room. Great wine selection. Impressive for more of a chain location We stuck more to apps than dinner. Most of the appetizers were great. From what I recall, we got tuna tartare, meatballs, shrimp cocktail. we ordered a crudité platter with some dips - that was the only real let down. Will return for a future occassion. would like to stay for a real dinner read more

I had lunch here with some colleagues, and the location couldn't be more convenient--right inside the MetLife building. I highly recommend making a reservation. The meal started on a high note with complimentary bread and butter. The butter was incredibly creamy! For the appetizer, we had the pan-fried calamari with hot cherry peppers--crispy, flavorful, and with just the right amount of heat. My favorite item on the menu! For my main course, I went with the pan-seared salmon, swapping the couscous for creamed spinach. The salmon was cooked to a perfect medium, though the spinach was just okay--I've had better. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for lunch. The service was outstanding--friendly, efficient, and attentive. I'll definitely be back to try the steak next time! read more

Great place to come after work with work colleagues. An upscale vibe with a sense of home. Food is very good. Get the lollipop lamb chops. The crab meat is moist and sweet and calamari have a nice little punch to them from the hot peppers included as part of the dish. read more

Came here for a group dinner (seated us inside a private dining room) and really enjoyed my experience here. The pacing of the dishes was spot on. Started off with a bread basket with a nice variety of bread-- bread was warm, favorite was the onion focaccia (could eat an entire basket of that alone!). I loved the appetizers here, prosciutto wrapped mozzarella was delish (so soft, and I'm not even the biggest fan of mozzarella) and the fried calamari was perfectly crispy. Would recommend both of them. Salad was fresh, although I think it could've been more heavily dressed. I got the bone in dry aged NY strip (ordered medium rare), which was a HUGE portion and quite tender (do wish they seasoned it a little more though). Asparagus and mashed potato sides were decent and I enjoyed the flourless chocolate cake for dessert . read more

Located in the old pizza shop at Grand Central/Pan Am/MetLife building lower level, this has indoor and outdoor seating. A very big space inside. They had good service, cocktail shrimp was cold and refreshing, drinks were sweet and not too strong. Calamari was a little spicy which was nice. Crab and lobster cake... skip. I prefer just outright crab cake. The lobster didn't add much. read more

Managed to get a Tofu Steak, off menu, which went well with the butternut squash bisque. Service was excellent and attentive. The steakhouse ambiance is everywhere and pleasant. My red wine was delicious as were the cocktails. Desert - chocolate expresso cake - was divine. It appears a vegetarian can survive a steak house meal at The Capital Grill! read more

Standard steakhouse just like all the rest. The service was top notch maybe a little bit too rushed. Location was great and the place was full on a Thursday night. Only slight issue was the my steak came out a bit cold but it was cooked perfectly. Good experience overall. read more

We were in town for the holidays and were meeting some dear friends in the city for dinner and drinks. We opted to meet at the Capital Grille. We were not disappointed at all. Service was amazing. The drinks were on point. The Setting for the evening was prefect. Earlier in the year we had met up in Las Vegas and got the very same experience. The Staff Bar, Menu, and attention to detail are always above and beyond. I can't say enough about either location. To the management keep doing what you're doing. It's the entire dining experience from the minute you walk thru the door. Thank you for making another night out on the town a memory we will never forget. The Navarro's Oxnard, California read more

This is the first fine-dining restaurant that I've attended. The ambiance was nice and the restaurant was beautiful. I especially loved that you could see into the kitchen, it reminded me of Hell's Kitchen. I came here last summer for the Endless Pour event, where they offer you six wines to try as you go through the courses. And never doubt the ability for wine to do it's THING, definitely a creeper. My friend and I tried the crab cakes (the sauce for the crab cakes were to DIE for), and the lobster mac and cheese (the breadcrumbs added the perfect touch). For my entree, I got the Sea Bass. To die for, it melts in your mouth and it was delicious. The waitress was very warm and helpful, as she assisted us with what wines would go best for what we were eating. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience. read more

I came here on a Thursday night for a presentation. Our group was seated in a private room. Service was nice and well paced. Our servers were great as well and very accommodating and friendly. We stated out with the field greens salad which was way too much lettuce and the portion was absolutely giant but at least it was dressed well. Afterwards, they brought out the bread basket. All of the breads were nice and warm and paired nicely with the slab of butter they had which was delicious. For my main, I ordered the salmon which was well cooked and came with a nice sauce . My only complaint is that the greens underneath it got absolutely covered in oil so they were not that delicious. However, the sides of mashed potatoes and creamed spinach it came with were great and very flavorful. Finally, for dessert I got an espresso chocolate cake which was delicious and had such a nice flavor. It really rounded out the meal nicely. All in all, though Capital Grille is a pretty common sight in Midtown I do have to say that I quite enjoyed my meal here and this has to be one of my favorite Capital Grilles so far in the city. read more

Came here to celebrate family and holidays with a gathering of 21 in an intimate private room. Our server, Michael, was extremely friendly and managed the room with perfection. Glad to see that he got some help later on serving the main course and desserts. Having to juggle all the drinks and coffee/tea orders is usually enough to keep one server busy but add the food orders and he definitely had his hands full BUT he handled it with efficiency and a big smile. So 5 stars for Michael! For starters, 3 out of the 4 tables had a seafood tower. The remaining table was the non-shellfish table which had a bacon wrapped cheese ball, steak crostini and veggie platter. Very yummy. Appetizers were choice of wedge salad or fresh greens. Prosciutto wrapped mozzarella and fried calamari. Nice crust and not greasy! No complaints. Main courses were a hit! Filet mignon, sea bass, bone-in Kona crusted NY strip and porcini crusted bone-in ribeye. All cooked to perfection and healthy portions! It was so delicious and many couldn't finish the meal. Lastly it was time for desserts and each table got a sample with 3 items - cheese cake, chocolate fudge cake and an apple cream pie. Sooo good! Perfect meal at a perfect place with perfect service!!! Definitely recommend if you want to treat yourself! read more

One of the best, if not the best Capital Grill restaurants we've ever been to. Beautiful bar, drinks are priced reasonably, and the food was fabulous. A shout out to Ben, Albert & Corey for making our anniversary so memorable. Can't wait to return . If you live, or are visiting NYC, you must visit this restaurant. Frankly, better than Peter Lugers ( though Lugers is fabulous, it doesn't have the atmosphere of this Capital Grill). read more

I didn't get to capture the beautiful steak, asparagus, pasta, etc I ordered it was so dark but I get that it's the ambiance lightning of the place. The crème brûlée was standard, so good with the berries. Hot chocolate, wine, etc we tried it all and they were so yummy. Also shoutout to our waiter he knew the entire menu like the back of his hand, educated us on wine, and was always attentive. Everything tastes better on the company carddd read more

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. read more

The food is typical capital grille. It's good. But the service is horrible. Took almost 30 minutes to get a drink after we sat down. Waiter was not attentive and was very rude. Not sure what it is about the acoustics, but it is so loud you can hardly hear the person next to you. When this space used to be Naples 45, it was not like that at all. Honestly, save your money and go to Bobby Vans across the street read more

Only a review for the drinks. We walked in on a Friday after work and the bar is what I imagine a financial district hotel bar to be like. Seems like it caters to the business crowd. Nothing wrong with that, especially if that's what you are looking for. We ordered 4 different drinks and they were all fine. I got the Stoli Doli and it's a decent twist on a martini. Someone ordered a margarita and it was only ok, seemed like very tequila heavy and missing some other ingredients (or it was very unbalanced). Another person got the espresso martini on the cocktail menu, and we wouldn't recommend that overall. Kind of lacking in many aspects. The food and wine are probably great, but can't recommend the cocktails. read more

Came with a friend who is a regular and it showed with the attention being shown to her. Me not so much - but not a problem. The service and regular check-in are exceptional. The food was above average - perhaps ordering tuna at a steakhouse isn't the wisest way to go but if it's on the menu it should be done well, especially at these prices! The salad, asparagus, and fries were delicious. As was the cocktail. read more

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. read more

This is a huge location with lots of options. We went for a birthday dinner and David was our server. He was excellent, and the food was great. We had the Caesar salad to start and it was delicious. We then all got a version of the filet. It was cook perfectly and the mashed as a side are really good. We also got the spinach which was delicious. We all split the cheesecake and they did a fun champagne toast for us as well as gave us a little chocolate cake. The cheesecake and chocolate cake were both great. We will definitely be returning. read more
