Over ten ( 10 ) years ago during NYC Restaurant Week was my second time eating at The Capital Grille - NYC - Wall Street. Once again and on April 16, 2026, there was no disappointment regarding what I experienced over ten ( 10 ) years ago that was beyond excellent related to food, presentation, and service being simply outstanding. I have no idea if the same executive chef for The Capital Grille - NYC - Wall Street was the same both ten ( 10 ) years ago and on April 16, 2026 because the Wagyu swiss cheese mushroom burger & Wine with fries went beyond my food expectation in texture, presentation, temperature, taste, and combination with the recommended wine selection. The Wagyu burger was cooked to perfection all before 12:12 PM, which created a need to have another one. Each bite craved another bite to delight in pure perfection. This burger did not require any other condiment to enhance the burger's preexisting taste. My order also included Caramelized Onion and Caviar Dip, which had a complex taste profile swirling around in my mouth after each perfectly fried french fry was dipped. The caramelized onion melted into a creamy dip for each crisped fry. From the time doors opened before 11:30 AM at The Capital Grille - NYC - Wall Street, I was greeted and welcomed to a familiar setting. After I was seated, serving staff Ms. Marlenny along with other staff, made this eating moment special and important. Finally, the attention to detail provided by serving staff Ms. Marlenny consisted of her being attentive by listening to what I said, which resulted with a surprise celebration acknowledgement brought to my table of one. I had to take The Capital Grille's treats home except for the tasty complimentary bubbly because I did not want to leave any remaining burger, fry, or dip on my plate! Words cannot express the gratitude and consistency offered with ambience and great tasting food offered by The Capital Grille even ten ( 10 ) years later! Save a reservation for April 2027 and hopefully The Capital Grille - NYC - Wall Street will return to NYC Restaurant Week this year or the following years to come!!! read more

This place is Fantastic ! If You aren't paying and mediocre is your thing See when it doesn't come out of your pocket (corporate accounts or client is paying) all is wonderful 90% of the clients don't pay - we run it through our business accounts and deduct it as an expense Just keep it coming - $100 steaks and $35 martini's our corporate AMEX is good to go read more

Located in the culturally dead and depressingly dark financial district of NYC, The Capital Grille proves to be somewhat of a bright light in "casual" fine dining. Trying to make a reservation on Christmas eve is nearly impossible, but The Capital Grille had plenty of reservations surprisingly. While the steaks were delicious, I thought they were quite overpriced as compared to other places that I've had both in NYC and outside the city. The sides were delicious, albeit a bit salty, while the service was fantastic and efficient. Even better, since it was Christmas, they gave us gift cards for a future visit which was super nice of them! read more

Came back to my favorite place near me and they have a limited time offer of wine pairing with each course and so glad we decided to try that. All the wines were amazing and the food was delicious as always. Definitely recommend the special menu. Be warned tho because you will have 5 classes of wine and will give you a buzz so be careful. read more

I have been to the Paramus location couple of times already and was getting the same Filet Mignon, this time being a new spot I changed it up and went with the Lamb Rip Chops. I think I found my new favorite item to get now on. The lamb was delicious and very filling after two chops. It does have a bit of salt on the crust seasoning, but overall it was acceptable. read more

Came by for "capital hours" and sat at the bar in the lounge area. Comfortable seating with a few tvs and cheery music playing. Service was a little sketchy at first but definitely picked up thanks to the gentleman behind the bar. I had the cast iron garlic shrimp (delicious and star of the show) and the sliced dry aged ny strip (good). Now the second star of the show was the peach bourbon smash. Those cocktails were delicious yet strong and well balanced. Kudos to the bartender. read more

The first time I came to a Capital Grille was around 2010 and distinctly remember the sides were probably my favorite part, though I did not try the steak at that time. The sides are still amazing. Really creamy but solid mash potatoes. The creamed spinach here is always one of my favorite creamed spinaches ever. The steak was perfect! Medium rare just excellently done - the right amount of texture, tenderness, flavor, not too oily. The mashed potatoes were rich and soft. I would love to come again. read more

I've celebrated many milestones at The Capital Grille in FiDi over the years--from Thanksgiving dinners to career promotions--and it continues to be one of my most reliable choices for special occasions in Lower Manhattan. The setting alone makes it memorable. Housed in a former bank near Wall Street, the space feels classic and refined, with an especially impressive original bank vault downstairs that's now used for private dining. It's a great backdrop for business dinners, celebrations, or any evening when you want something elevated but comfortable. Service is consistently excellent. The staff is polished, attentive, and genuinely focused on making the experience feel special, without ever being overbearing. You really get the sense that they take pride in maintaining a high standard across the board. The food rarely disappoints. The steaks--especially the bone-in Kona crusted dry-aged NY strip and the ribeye--are standouts and typically cooked perfectly. The seafood and sides are just as strong: lobster mac and cheese, lobster bisque, pan-fried calamari, and truffle arancini are all worth ordering. Save room for dessert, as the flourless chocolate espresso cake and the cheesecake are excellent finishes to the meal. Portions are generous, which helps justify the splurge pricing. It's also worth noting that they've recently introduced new happy hour options, which is a welcome addition and makes it easier to enjoy the space without committing to a full dinner. While the dining room can get loud when it's packed, especially during the workweek, the overall experience remains top-tier. Reservations are strongly recommended due to its popularity with the business crowd. All in all, The Capital Grille FiDi delivers consistency, quality, and a sense of occasion--exactly what you want for celebrations and important nights out. read more

We decided to have last minute dinner at Capital Grille on Friday. After a spa day I really wanted some of their delicious Sea Bass. My niece was here from Florida and so she wanted good food. I also utilize Capital grille for meetings with my company. However, this was a different experience. I felt like the waiters were coming by too much, taking our plates or asking when we weren't done. It felt really rushed. I've never experienced that before. Also the chicken dish was very disappointing. It was actually sub par for capital grille and the price. They should really consider revamping that dish. In any case I won't give up on capital grille but I may take a temp leave and look for other options in the area. We did have birthdays and they were very accommodating to that which was nice. read more

Popped in for a quick drink after work and had the waygu and wine burger special. Got the mushroom and Swiss burger it was surprisingly neat, as the Swiss was melted over the mushrooms, preventing a messy bite. It was cooked to perfection, very flavorful and well balanced. The fries, I should've eaten while hot as they lost their luster, nonetheless still a grade above generic. I'd revisit. read more

I came here for a private event and this place was very attentive to their customers and everything was pretty great. Our meal consisted of a 3 course meal and I had their salad, seared salmon, and flourless chocolate espresso cake. There were some shareable items as well including creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. The salad was very disappointing and confusing to be honest. There was no dressing and so I felt much like a horse grazing on the field. Perhaps they are very light on the dressing or had forgotten it because it seems everyone else at my table had the same thoughts and experience. The salmon and other dishes did make up for it however. The salmon was perfectly medium rare and retained its juiciness. Moving on to dessert, while it was tasty, it was too sweet for my preference and so I wasn't able to finish it as it was just so rich. For my first time at this chain, I had a pretty good time, but I would likely be more picky with my choices if I do return. read more

Walked in with no reservation for my mom's birthday and we were seated within minutes. The table was decorated with happy birthday confetti and a card was present with signatures from the staff.

This was a special occasion. It happened to be my birthday. This establishment is in lower Manhattan and at night its better than in the day but both sights are amazing. This place has a old bank vault inside and it's ambiance is nice . It's dimly lit just right for a romantic night out or a good time among friends. We had the clams they were fresh and tasty. The food was great and this restaurant was made to impress. read more

I'm from Boston and love both of the Boston-area Capital Grille's (one just outside the city, and one in the city). It's one of those steakhouse & seafood chains that's consistently very good. But this was my first visit to the financial district (*down*town) location in NYC. First things first, this is a really cool location. The place is spectacularly decorated--be sure to check out the carved (I think) eagle above the bar--in a historic building. A local told me they had a fire a few years back, but they restored it to its former glory, and then some. I was on a business trip for this visit, and chose a seat at the bar as I often do. It's a great bar! Very comfortable and spacious, and the bar tenders are awesome, as they always are at any Capital Grille I've visited. They know how to hire, and train, their staff so that the service is consistently great. I had oysters to start, and--also based on a local recommendation--the bar burger. I chose the Swiss and Mushroom version, medium rare. It was perfectly prepared and delicious! And just right for me this night given I was not hungry enough for a full entree. There are so many GREAT choices in NYC, but The Capital Grille is a great choice when you're in the mood for a consistently good chain / no guess work. P.S. This location was hopping!! (on a Tuesday night), which is awesome when your dining alone on a biz trip. read more

We made reservations for Valentine's Day and were deeply disappointed and underwhelmed by the food. Specially for the expensive prices, we expected more. We had the lobster cake, which was the only good thing that we liked. It was a little on the fishy side, but nothing that the sauce and the lemon couldn't fix. We also had the fried calamari honestly wouldn't recommend. We thought that it was gonna be paired with the sauce and it didn't come with anything. They also weren't super fried, which would have maybe made it a little bit better but definitely needed a sauce paired with it. For entrées, we ordered the steak. My steak was a little overcooked. I asked for medium well and basically got it cooked well. My partner had a medium in his was okay but more to the medium well cooking. They were a little on the burnt flavoring. For the sides, we had the asparagus, which was pretty good. We also had the mac & cheese. Honestly, you can skip the mac & cheese. We didn't like the flavoring. It lacked flavor and it just tasted like it had American cheese on it. We also had the black tie margarita. It was okay. As well as a Moscato probably wouldn't order that one again because it wasn't sweet. It was very bitter. read more

Wednesday at 5pm - We met some business colleague for drinks at the bar and this place screams business happy hour and client dinner. The bar was already pretty full when we got there with the rest of the bar area filled with patrons celebrating the holidays . Both female staffs were friendly , attentive and provided fast / efficient service. It is a perfect place to congregate with friends , colleagues etc . After everyone left, some of us decided to stay to dine at the bar where we shared some amazing food - lamb chops , calamari , crab cake , steak , creamed spinach and mushrooms , finished with the creamy cheesecake ( I normally pass dessert but glad I didn't ). The lamb chops is the best and was my favorite the cheesesteak was a close second . It's a bit of a hike from my office and home but will certainly check out or revisit the other locations . read more

I pass by this place all the time and was so excited to finally try the food here. Upon entry, I noticed that it had a bit of an old-fashioned rustic look, one that was charming and filled with alot of history behind it. I was seated in the corner of the bar area which gave us a nice view of the restaurant. For the entree, I ordered the sliced filet mignon which came with onions, wild mushrooms and fig essence. I was highly disappointed with how my steak was drowning in the sauce - which made it very sweet and completely overpowered the taste of the actual meat. It was almost as if it was the star of the dish. My friend also noticed how my steak was swimming in a pool of the sauce. For sides, we ordered the asparagus and lobster mashed potatoes. We weren't too thrilled with how small the lobster mashed mac n cheese dish was. I've ordered mac n cheese plenty of times in steak houses and this was the smallest portion I have ever seen. At least it tasted good! As for the asparagus, it was fine but nothing memorable. Also, the drinks and service was fine, which upgraded my review to 3 stars. Not sure if I would come back to this place, maybe for a drink...but I wasn't too impressed with the food. read more

Walked into the Capital Grille in the Wall Street area for an early dinner, the host was kind enough to give us a booth, normally would go with a steak, but being early and wanting something on the lighter side, had the seared Sea Bass which was perfectly prepared with the top of the fillet seared to perfection, adding a layer of crispy texture coating the white tender meat sitting in a light miso broth, probably one of the best fish dishes I've had. read more

As a chain Steakhouse, Capital Grille continues to deliver more or less. Everything was AOK, very good service and good food at your atypical NYC steakhouse prices (not cheap). This was our first time at this location which has an old school classic feel, oak wood, high ceilings, laid back, etc.. We got your typical steakhouse fare, sides - fries, asparagus, lobster mac and steaks of course, lol. It was good though to be honest nothing to rave about. The acoustics are not the best and where we were seated might as well have been sitting with the table next to us with how loud their conversation was; doubt they even realized it. Not sure why they felt the need to seat us right next to a full table when the section was practically empty. The Female staff and servers were all friendly, professional and more than efficient; really outstanding. No regrets on the visit, but doubt will visit again anytime soon. read more

What can I say that hasn't been said before. Absolutely amazing food and service. This location was just around the corner from the hotel in which we were staying. Showed up a bit early but they had no problem seating us. Our server was so very pleasant and a joy to speak with. I ordered the filet and my friend order the sliced filet. Both ordered asparagus as a table item along with an order of roasted Brussels sprouts. The steaks were perfectly cooked and I could cut mine with a fork. This location was well decorated with a sense of brillance yet not over stated. Felt comfortable coming in with some jean and a golf shirt. read more

It's the time of year to celebrate my birthday and I picked Capital Grill for its close proximity to my office, and I had heard good things. I had been to the one in NJ and left underwhelmed and disappointed. Well I was in for a big surprise at the NYC Financial location. This place is run incredibly well. They were very kind from the minute we got there and gave us great seating. Everybody there must of wished me a happy birthday more than once. They also gave me a hand written card. Our waiter Sam was fabulous! He had a great personality and gave great service. He recommended the Sea bass and it was great! I had that and the tuna tartare as an appetizer. I am also Gluten sensitive and they had a menu to accommodate me. My husband had the shrimp cocktail and a steak. Sautéed spinach was our side. We each had simple drinks that we made and they were good. My husband's steak was not cooked to his liking so they took it back and cooked it more. The chef Jeffrey also came out to check to see if he liked it. I thought this went above and beyond. Also, Katherine the manger was very sweet and came over to wish me a Happy Birthday and earlier another manager came by to say hello. Katherine was very personable and answered some questions we had about the place. They also bought out a nice dessert on the house and wished me a Happy birthday again. All in all the whole experience was perfect. I rate places on food, service, and ambiance and I thought all were on point. The place has a cool safe downstairs, as the property was a former bank. This you should go see. I would absolutely go back here and look forward to my next visit. read more

I always love their martinis- we usually only go for those (and the bread, of course!)- but we got this appetizer this time too. It was an exercise in indulgence. Unfortunately either the dip was too thick or the chips too thin as it was difficult to pick any of the dip up without the chips breaking. At $35, I wouldn't get it again. Staff are always on point, so if you want a nice cocktail it's well worth the trip. read more

Amazing food! The ribeye was cooked to perfection. It has the best flavor I've ever had. We also had the lobster mac & cheese, and it had a crust on top. That was amazing. The lobster wasn't fishy at all and that was also cooked to perfection. We also ordered asparagus on the side. At the end, we had a couple bites of cheesecake and that was also delicious. The atmosphere is beautiful downstairs. They also have a vault from the early 1900's that is really cool! I definitely recommend this restaurant. My husband had the old fashions and he said they were delicious We were in New York for five days and we came here three out of five days.! read more

When pros run a restaurant this is what you get -- terrific food and sublime service at roughly the GDP of a small country. No matter, it's nice to see service staff that have been well trained and are not between auditions. Capital Grill is classic steakhouse fare so there are no surprises or Ostrich tartare to contend with. Yes, it's a chain but, for that matter, so are Tiffany and Cartier. A fine meal to celebrate foreclosing on that widow. Five very easy stars. read more

I've been to a few locations at the Capitol Grille over years. Always a great experience, from the service to the ambience to the steak. Everything is always delicious and they are super accommodating. I especially enjoyed our experience near the theater District, which we did go to after play. Super professional, super accommodating and can I just mention the lobster mac & cheese. Aside from everything else that has to be one of our faves. read more

Every time we go to this place, we leave wondering why we ever bother trying any other steak house in NYC. It's just so consistently great with both the service and the food. We've been here dozens of times over the years, and I can't say enough good things about this location and its staff. Everything they prepare is delicious. It may be just this location, because I've heard other ppl don't like the midtown and rock center locations. But the FiDi Capital Grille is one of our favorite steakhouses in the city. If you have a special occasion you should reserve a table at this location. I know this review sounds like a promotion, but I'm a real person. My wife and I just love this place. And don't get me started on the super reasonably priced kids menu, that even includes a petit filet as an option sometimes. read more

I was here for a pre fix dinner because we had a large group. When having a prefix menu you sometimes expect smaller portions this was not the case. The portions were plentiful and delicious.

I would definitely recommend! read more

What is there not to like about the Capital Grille? The food is consistently great. Their lunch menu is awesome. The lobster salad and clam chowder are awesome.

We had a 9:00 reservation on Saturday night & the waiter told us that we needed to order right away because the "kitchen was closing shortly" Why is this our problem? Why is this any diner's problem? Any restaurant that finds it acceptable to rush diners is sadly mistaken! We have historically had very good experiences at The Capital Grille at different locations but unfortunately not this one! Overall the service was very good. My wife was very happy with her filet but my ribeye was very fatty. That's never good especially @ $85.00!! Otherwise our appetizers were good but the coconut cream pie should have been better. Just a very uneven evening at a very high cost. read more
