    Coconut Cream Pie

    Consistently serving great meals, this may be a chain yet the service at this Newtown location makes you feel welcomed and appreciated every time you dine. Andrew is a friendly and classy manager, the waitstaff and bartenders are always attentive and accommodating. Make your reservations as they are always busy. A+

    They were taking pics and serving cocktails gratis before we were seated.

    Stopped in for Happy Hour. Who would have thought? Capital Grille Happy Hour. Anyway we are regulars and had to investigate the Happy Hour offerings. Ambiance is Capital Grille a high end steak house. We sat at the bar and noted that others must have got the message as almost every bar seat was occupied. We got the last two seats. It was around 435pm on a Wednesday. The menu was quite nice with just about anything you might want. We ordered a couple of the Happy Hour martinis and then selected the sliced NY strip and the mini Caesar bitesI ordered the 10oz filet off the main menu. Our barkeeps were the usual - they know us and are professional and simpatico. My martini was perfectly prepared (as it usually is), but at a favorable price. We loved the Caesar bites, so light and tasty. Our steak dishes were also perfect. Value was excellent we escaped for -$140 including tip. Usually when we have a meal here it is double that at least We will return for Happy Hour again. Highly recommend a stop if you are not familiar with the place. Mark & Nancy.

    3:30 pm Thanksgiving and every table filled

    A very memorable Thanksgiving at Capital Grille. We could not be more pleased. To our surprise (since it seemed early) it was packed at 3:30pm. It stayed packed (bar area also) the entire time we were there. And still service was perfect (thank you Kate). It was relaxing, timely, not rushed, comfortable and we appreciated the round table for six of us. We originally had reservations at "Roccos at The Brick" which we canceled once we saw the menu for CG. And thank goodness we did as Roccos abruptly closed 4 days prior to Thanksgiving!! Wow. The food was hot, delicious and plentiful. Some of us ordered the turkey special (see pic) and others ordered steak, salmon and lolly pop lamb chops. Everyone enjoyed. As we left, there were quite a few people waiting for tables. My compliments to the chef, Kate, management etc. We lovec it!

    Capital Grille is a popular chain but they honestly had really good food. I went to a dinner here. I really liked how the Newtown location has so many different shops to visit around this area. The inside of Capital Grille has well dressed staff and I really liked the amount of space at the restaurant. I started with the bread basket. It was a mixture of breads both flat in nature and spongy. I also had a Field Greens Salad. I really liked the heirloom tomatoes and the taste of the Parmesan vinaigrette. For my entree, I had the Salmon. I really liked how the salmon came with green beans and these delicious cippolini onions. The onions were round and bursted in my mouth. The sides were delicious. The mash potatoes were super creamy and the spinach was the most amazing dish I had since it was almost milky tasting. The dessert consisted of Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake. I don't really like dark chocolate but I found this dish very interesting. I felt like the chocolate tasted better and different when mixed with a whip cream. This was the first time I've experienced a dish that tasted only good when each part was mixed evenly.

    My wife and I decided to give ourselves a treat so we cashed in some AMEX points and went to the Capital Grille. As usual we are happy that we did. I had my usual Bone in Ribeye extra rare which was cooked perfectly. The gorgonzola rub made it even better. The side of wild mushrooms were fantastic. I love mushrooms with a good steak. But the creme de resistance was something we did not expect for $55 a piece, Capital Grille had their unlimited wine pour available. we both got it. We had unlimited access to 4 different wines, 1 Rose, 3 Whites and 4 reds. They were all great and one of the reds went perfect with my steak. The bottom line is the Capital Grille is a great example of an old fashioned steak house, and the wine pour was an unexpected bonus. We will definitely be back.

    We came to celebrate our anniversary. They treated us well and of course the food was excellent. The manager Ken came over and made sure everything was to our liking. Our waitress Alexandra was professional and friendly. We shared the calamari appetizer. It was cooked perfectly and had the right amount of spice. My husband ordered the filet with mushrooms and I ordered the NY strip au poivre. Both were cooked according to what we ordered. I did not feel as if we ate at a "chain". It was so warm and friendly. We both had blackberry sidecars. Delicious.

    Strip was solid

    We had dinner here to celebrate my daughter kicking butt in life. Our waitress was Savannah and she crushed it. Probably one of the best servers I have had in this area. She made everything better. My only negatives are it was really loud and service was a little slow. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and we had to wait 20-30 mins to be seated.

    Everything fabulous as always! The food, service and ambiance! Special thanks to Damon for treating us like family..... very attentive and meticulous! And thanks to the manager Michael for demonstrating real customer service when the restaurant was out of tuna for Mr friend.... Michael suggested another entree and generously comped the charge! That's customer service over and above! I worked in hospitality for 35 years and I APPRECIATE what he did! Fantastic team! We love it here! Please commend your team!

    Ok went on line anted to try the capital grille so we made reservations. Showed up on time and got nervous. Most men were wearing sport jackets and pants. I show up in shorts, a no tuck and hey dudes. Did not know if I was going to get in. They do have a sign that says fine dining proper attire required. I entered and they sat me no questions asked. Did see some guys wearing polo's and jeans. We ordered some drinks and they were delicious. Andrea had a passion fruit mojito and I had a blackberry infused bourbon. About $17 each. The interior is dark and feels upscale except for the noise coming from bar area. Our waitress was very nice and helped with our questions. They had a regular NY strip and an aged NY strip. Nobody laugh but I had to google the difference. I ordered the aged NY and Andrea had the filet mignon. Our sides were roasted mushrooms and lobster Mac n cheese. Food came out in a respectful time. Let me tell you something that stupid aged steak was amazing and the sides followed. After dinner they served us hot moist towels to wipe your hands with. For desert we split the coconut cream pie with a rum caramel sauce. Perfect size for two people and it was dam good. All in all great service and outstanding food. Total bill without tip $236

    I went here for my birthday and had a wonderful dining experience. The staff were very good. The only issue was the young man was so obsessed with making sure he cleared away dirty dishes and silverware that he took away my bread plate and butter knife before I was finished with them. The vibe was good, I really liked the decor and my wife and I laughed that we couldn't believe that this was a Pier One. We started with the lobster and crab cake. The steaks were delicious. Cooked perfectly as we requested. It is a rather expensive restaurant but well worth it.

    10 Filet Mignon 10oz. Savory, delicious, everything you would want.

    Wow, I'm impressed. Haven't been here in a while so I forgot how spectacular this place was. First, I came in and was hit with an amazing ambiance. It gave chill vibes and the music there could calm anyone down. I already was having a good experience before I even sat at a table! Next, the waitress came. Her name was Kate Hipple and she was absolutely amazing. She gave us the most beautiful service with her patience, kindness, and thoughtfulness. Once, one of my family's drinks ran out and our waiter immediately refilled it. We didn't even ask for it! Throughout the dinner, she was very polite and kind. Even when we took a while to choose what to order, she was so patient, not rushing us. Hands down the best service I've ever gotten at a restaurant. Then, there was the food. Oh my gosh, extraordinary. I got a 10 oz. filet mignon that was scrupulous, savory, I can't even describe it. Everyone else said their food was as amazing as I described it. Lastly, the desert came. They gave us complimentary cake, cream, cheesecake, and a chocolate drizzled drawing of the Capital Grille logo. I also got a vanilla ice cream with chocolate drizzle on top of it. They were both very delightful and delicious. Overall, I had an excellent experience at The Capital Grille. Sure, it was expensive but I'd say it's worth it. I'm definitely coming back. Huge thanks to our waitress for making this a special experience for us.

I literally said to myself as I drove around Somerville that I wish there was a wine or cocktail bar for...mature people like myself to chill at. So I looked up wine bars and boom - VintEdge was right down the street. I came in around 9pm, picked a comfy seat by the window, and ordered. Can you believe I had never had an espresso martini until that evening?? So my first was a pumpkin espresso martini. Well I may have had 2. And another drink. Ahem. The service was great, not fussy, and I wasn't rushed even as we approached last call. Visit 2: having heard about my great experience there alone, my cousin arranged to meet me there last week. Or so she thought. Through a series of mutual miscommunications, I was here at the crib waiting for her, while she was at the wine bar waiting for me. Once we figured that out, she got us some food to go and we ate here at home. Verdict: -excellent seating options - stools, couches, chairs -food is so so good. Tartare, truffle fries. Fig jam pizza -drinks include awesome bottles and seasonal takes on old favorites This could be my new spot.

I've had Spanish brews before, but they actually had in stock six to 10 different Spanish Brews and some Brazilian beer. (Makes sense since a Brazilian Steakhouse is connected to the building) The prices were fair and they even had some exclusive Iron Abbey collab beers with local breweries. It's out of the way for me bottle shop wise, but if I do stop by the area I'll of course check out their stock. I found a couple of nice hard to find Imperial Stout's that now have a nice home.

Let's be honest--I come here for one reason: the soufflés. They are my kryptonite. Sweet or savory, they never disappoint. I've had the chocolate (rich, decadent, flawless), though I'm still chasing my ultimate favorite--the elusive Grand Marnier soufflé. One day... Beyond that: * Mussels + champagne = always a win * Service is warm and welcoming * Prices feel fair for the quality and experience This place has become part of my ritual when I'm in the area. I'll fly into Newark Liberty International Airport, hop on the Amtrak Acela, get off in Princeton, head straight here, and yes--plan my trip around a soufflé. No regrets. The location is perfect--right in the heart of Princeton, which is one of those charming, walkable towns with tree-lined streets and that classic, almost European feel. There's garage parking nearby, but honestly, once you're there, you won't need your car. Perfect for: * Date night * Dessert and champagne with friends * Solo bar seating (highly recommend) Bottom line: Elegant, cozy, and worth going out of your way for--especially if you love a proper soufflé.
