Spot on every time! I've been here several times for pharmaceutical rep dinners and have never been disappointed. Parking is easy (free near Macy's or valet available). The ambiance is dim, quiet, and upscale--open kitchen, "classic steakhouse" feel, and guests often dressed for a nice night out. We recently celebrated our anniversary here, and the staff truly went above and beyond. Our table was decorated with tasteful heart-shaped confetti, an anniversary card, and complimentary champagne--such a thoughtful and unexpected touch that made the evening feel extra special. The warm bread with butter was irresistible (I had two pieces despite usually skipping it!). Our server, Christopher, was professional, personable, and incredibly accommodating. The spinach salad with poached pears, Gorgonzola, and pecans was a standout--I only wish the portion was bigger. The Brussels sprouts with bacon were delicious but quite indulgent. The calamari with hot peppers is a must if you enjoy a spicy kick. For entrées, I had the scallops with lobster and risotto, and my husband ordered the filet--both were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We were full halfway through but couldn't stop eating. Dessert was the only slight miss--the apple tart looked great but wasn't as flavorful as expected. However, the complimentary dessert tasting (flourless chocolate cake and crème brûlée cheesecake) completely made up for it--beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We're already looking forward to coming back--especially for that cheesecake with the berry compote! read more

Came in first time and the service is top of the top notch Both Billy and Ronny were my bartenders . Top of the line service . Billy suggested the best of one pairings to my steak and made the one of BEST old fashion I've ever had Would return a million times Christian was a great vibe Food was on point. Steak was to my preferred temperature read more

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and we had a great experience! The table was decorated and there was also a handwritten card on the table (nice touch) The steaks and appetizers were delicious and worth the price yet I just can't rationalize the price for the sides. $15 for creamed spinach which was good but I honestly couldn't separate it from spinach from the frozen aisle. The steaks were cooked perfectly (Rib-eye and Filget with lobster tails) The crab cake was delectable (wish it came with 2) I almost wanted to pick a fight for the bigger half They have a wide selections of wine, very limited beer selection and a decent cocktail menu with some spins to it. Our server Stephanie was phenomenal! She was attentive, knowledgeable, professional and yet somehow genuinely friendly! I haven't been here in over a decade and for an upscale Steakhouse dangling off of The GSP, Im glad to see the quality hasn't diminished! I only have one quip though. They used to bring out a small dessert for birthdays and I got a bowl of whipped cream with a candle But Im not a dessert person so I'll just have to get over it. So 1 star is missing due to that and the side prices. read more

I attended a luncheon seminar here. The service was wonderful, the food was good, the bread was warm and yummy, and the butter was room temperature and lightly salted on top. The house salad was very fresh. I opted for chicken and it was super tender, served with mustard potatoes and asparagus. It truly hit the spot. The whole restaurant is elegantly decorated. It reminds me of an old English mansion with the classy colors and paintings. It was a great lunch spot. read more

We just wanted a sit at the bar where the hostess directed us to the bar. We waited patiently for a couple who we stroke up at a conversation with to take over their seats, as we sat down, the bartender told us he had his own list for the seats at the bar. As someone who has been going to this location for years, I never heard of this. It would have been fine, because actually four seats had opened up, but he had placed a couple that was on the list in between the four seats, leaving one seat available on each side of the couple. If there is a list at the bar, the hostess should have told us to check in with the bar. We just left because honestly the bartender was super rude. Super disappointed. I guess they preferred that we went somewhere else. read more

Came for a late lunch / early dinner after shopping in the mall. The host quickly seated us and held onto our bags so the table was not crowded. We opted to skip the apps this time around and just picked on the complimentary bread and butter. Chris F. was on point and attentive. For entrees we ordered the: Sliced Filet with mushrooms, onion, with a fig essence. Perfectly cooked and delicious. Dry aged NY Strip with Courvoisier Cream. Very nice steak and the cream complimented it well, I usually skip the cream/ sauce. I did have to add some salt to my steak. I felt it was a tad under seasoned. For the shared sides: Au Gratin Potatoes. Very tasty Sautéed Spinach. Very good, little too much oil IMO. After dinner, the table was crumbed, which I love. Too bad we skipped dessert. I've been here plenty of times and it's always good. Solid atmosphere and great service are always expected. Personal side note: I feel that if you list your calories on the menu, they need to be close to correct. It needs to be adjusted for accuracy. The NY Strip Steak without Courvoisier Cream can't be 20 calories less than the one with. I asked if they were the same steak and I was told it was. read more

THE GOOD ---------------- + Food was very good. Not super spectacular, but as good as you would expect of this caliber of restaurant chain where the prices are nosebleed. ++++ Shrimp Cocktail was a bit pricey at $25 for 5 pieces, but you get what you pay for as they were jumbo and very fresh. ++++ Dry Aged NY Strip Steak Frites with Aji Verde was excellent. Cooked perfectly and cut into consumable pieces. Although it didn't seem huge, it was a very fair portion .. and it was just $32 for lunch! ++++ Filet Mignon with Creamed Spinach was very good. It's pretty much what you would expect for a Filet Mignon - tender, juicy and very, very flavorful. ++++ The Capital Grille Cheesecake was cooked brulee style with fresh berries on the side and it was the PERFECT dessert to cap off our meal - soft, savory and delicious. + Service was top notch (as expected). Everyone wished my wife and I a Happy Anniversary and every individual who serviced our table was A+ professional. ++++ There was a mishap with my order and I informed the waitress. A manager came out immediately, addressed it and "took care of us" and, let's just say, we were very, very satisfied with the resolution. Like I said, TOP NOTCH service. + Ambiance was fantastic inside. Perfect for any occasion, whether it is a special occasion or just casual meal, we noticed many people there for different reasons. + Interior is spacious and there are plenty of tables, but it's extremely well-spaced and roomy. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nothing! Great all around meal and service! RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Was shockingly crowded on a random Monday afternoon. When we arrived at 11:45 AM, there were just a handful of customers, but by 12:30 it was prettttty busy. The crowd had a mix of random diners and business diners. read more

- Attentive, confident waitstaff clearly well-trained in fine dining hospitality; greeted with warm smiles from the moment we arrived and throughout our meal - Came for an anniversary lunch--every staff member who passed by took the time to wish us a happy anniversary - Pristine dining room with ample seating and multiple private event spaces - Classic, rustic steakhouse ambiance with romantic undertones - Food was very good overall: shrimp cocktail--fresh, meaty, and nicely chilled; dry-aged NY strip steak frites with aji verde, duck fat fries, and herb aioli--steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to a true medium as requested, fries were decent though not particularly memorable; lobster bisque--generous chunks of lobster though the broth could have used more depth and richness; filet mignon with porcini rub--initially overcooked but promptly replaced, the corrected version was tender, flavorful, and beautifully executed - Received a complimentary anniversary dessert duo: brûlée-style cheesecake (creamy and smooth) and flourless chocolate espresso cake (rich, dense, and indulgent); we had actually ordered the cheesecake, which we ended up taking home to enjoy later :) - Despite the brief steak hiccup, the exceptional hospitality made the experience truly special; staff went above and beyond to ensure we felt celebrated and well cared for on our special day! read more

Recently got baptized so the family and I came to Capital Grille to celebrate! Everyone got a filet mignon , two of us got bone in. Food was really delicious, steak was cooked to perfection. I do think it could've had a little more flavor, had to add salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. For sides we had the mashed potatoes with the sautéed spinach! Service was impeccable, checked on us at every moment to make sure our food was to standard and we didn't need anything else. Only reason they didn't get 5 stars was because it took a little over 10/15 minutes to find our serve to pay for the check plus I wish my steak had more seasoned flavor! The ambience inside the restaurant was very welcoming and calm, with great music. read more

We've been frequenting The Capital Grille for lunch for quite some time, and what keeps us coming back--beyond the consistently excellent food--is the outstanding service from our favorite waiter, Adrian. Every visit feels like a warm welcome, and the attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine hospitality never go unnoticed. He always remembers our preferences, offers thoughtful recommendations, and creates a relaxed yet refined dining experience. It's rare to find someone who makes every lunch feel special, and he's truly one of the best in the business. The Capital Grille is lucky to have him. Highly recommend both the restaurant and Adrian! read more

Food was fantastic as usual. This time I came in and wanted to try the tomahawk veal chop. I asked if it came with anything and the server said no so I got a salad on the side I knew it was too big but got the dressing on the side so I can take the rest home. When the chop arrived it was on a bed of roasted mushrooms which ticked me off because I would not have gotten the salad. Aside from that the chop was cooked well and the salad was delicious. read more

The go to place for business lunch. Great food. I eat at bar if I can get a seat. A place to meet other successful fun loving people.

I love Capital! I'm not big on chain restaurants but this is an exception. Capital Grille maintains a high standard with their food, drinks and hospitality. A little pricey, but well worth it. We went for girls night last night during the Generous Pour event - my fave time of year! $45 for seven different wines, it's a great way to try new wines that you might not normally drink. It runs for another week if you're able to get a reservation We had the tuna tartare which had a little kick to it! Also has the prosciutto wrapped melon + Beets & Goat cheese salad. The salad was excellent. Try the Gorgonzola crusted Strip - it's so flavorful. For dessert, try the creme brûlée and the flourless chocolate cake, it's very rich. We also had the desert special which was the bourbon bread pudding with butter pecan ice cream and it was SO good. read more

Years ago before covid, I went to the Capital Grille for the wagyu and wine event. I saw on Instagram that they were having it again, so I immediately made a reservation. When you make the reservation, you have to make sure that you select the experience for the event. It is part of the Garden State Plaza Mall, but the entrance isn't inside the mall, therefore you do not feel like you are at the mall. There is also valet parking available. We arrived a little early because we didn't know how the traffic would be. When we first arrived, my first impression was that the place was so packed. Our table wasn't ready yet. We had a drink at the bar, which was SO crowded. We were able to stand at the end of the bar. Our table was ready a few minutes after our scheduled reservation. The restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks. I thought we would be sitting in the lounge area because of the event, but we were in one of the back rooms that was really nice. The place has a very elegant vibe to it. After we sat, we had some of the bread, and there were so many different options to pick from! We didn't want to over indulge and then be too stuffed for our dinner. We also had an appetizer of fried calamari, which was spicy! I don't think I would get it again, I would try something different. We all ordered the blue cheese and truffle burger. It was great, the serving size was large. It also came with tasty fries that were on the thicker side. The Duckhorn is always great, and one of my favorite wines. We will go back to this event next year. We also would go back when they don't have the event next time we have a special occasion or would like to have a fancy dinner. I look forward to trying one of their steaks. I have been looking for a bra that is comfortable but supportive for a while. I bought one years ago from VS during one of the sales, and haven't been able to find one since. I walked into the store and asked one of the sales associates to help me, and she brought me to this style. I said this is exactly what I have been looking for! It is comfortable to wear under t-shirts or around the house but still supportive. I think the price is reasonable for the quality. I will be purchasing more in the future. read more

Came to Capital Grille for my birthday and everything was chef's kiss. I had the Roasted Chicken Breast with Mushroom Parmesan Risotto one of the best risottos I've ever had. The chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked. Truffle fries and crab cakes were great too. Told our server Justin to surprise me with a drink, and he delivered with a refreshing pomegranate vodka spritz that I now dream about. Justin was an absolute delight constantly had us laughing. Benny was also amazing super attentive and kind. I said I didn't want dessert, but they brought out a full sampler anyway. The crème brûlée and flourless chocolate cake were out of this world. Can't wait to go back might start celebrating half-birthdays now. read more

Celebrated my sisters birthday here and staff was very friendly. We got seated immediately since we made a reservation. I love how they added a special touch for my sisters birthday by sprinkling happy birthday glitter/confetti on the table and they had a birthday card on the table waiting for her. There was slight hiccups with our order but the staff quickly resolved it for us. We ordered fries to come out with our appetizers but they forgot about it even after our entrees came out. They immediately went to the kitchen when we brought this to their attention. Also for my meal, i ordered the chicken and mushroom risotto. I asked for more mushrooms and less chicken but my order ended up missing the risotto. I told our server and he immediately brought out a side of risotto for me. Ambiance is an A+ because I love how the restaurant is lightly dimmed for a romantic and more private dining experience. Food however was not as high of a rating. The sea bass and the chicken dish were both very bland. I added salt and pepper to my chicken and mushroom, but it didn't do the trick. The Parmesan truffle fries were also not flavorful enough. It definitely needed more Parmesan and salt. The onion soup was also a bit disappointing. It tasted like it had a bit too much vinegar. It overpowered the taste of caramelized onion. However, I do have to say that the calamari was very good! It was the most flavorful out of everything we ordered. Loved the pickled peppers tossed in! Highly recommend! I also ordered the passion fruit mojito and it was superb! Very delicious! I asked to make it extra sweet and they added just the right amount of sweetness! read more

We were seated in a room off the main area of the restaurant with only 4 tables. While normally this would be nice, the ambiance of the entire restaurant was missing. It felt old and stuffy a bit. The waiter we had was lovely and super attentive. My husbands drinks were good as well and our steak tartare and the hot pepper calamari were great. However, the main reason you come to a steak house, the steak was off for both of us. I got the filet mignon with the onion and mushroom dish and asked for the steak medium rare. When it got to the table it was rare (which you can see in the photo) and unfortunately had to send it back to have them cook it more, which I never do ever! They did cook it more but definitely missed cooking a small end piece that I had taken a bit out of already. When they recooked it, it was clear they just threw it in a pan as it had the pan crispies on it. The steak was good and tender but for the price not up to par. My husband got the porcini bone in ribeye and it was very disappointing for him. While cooked medium rare and correctly, the steak itself was tough and lacked in the fattiness. I had a bite and it seemed lacking in flavor too I tasted no balsamic and my husband didn't either. It was generally not a good cut of meat and he was so disappointed in it especially for the price. We also got mushrooms and the steamed spinach as sides. Both were average. The steamed spinach was odd. It said it came with garlic confit but it legit just had 3 garlic cloves sprinkled throughout. Unfortunately this was a bummer experience especially for the price. We had a hefty gift card and still wound up spending quite a bit outside of that. For the prices and the quality of the meat we got this place is a no go for us moving forward. Maybe we'll go to eat apps at the bar but I think that will be the extent. There are better steak houses in the area to go to. read more

Had a fabulous lunch meeting here and I could tell from my fellow diner's past experiences they had made a raving fan out of her with all the little touches they have showed her over the last few visits. Like personally hand written cards thanking her for her patronage and hosting an event there. For a birthday dinner they set up her table with a hand written card and confetti and helped her feel like a special guest which were all stories she shared with me over lunch. The food was great and we had a very attentive and friendly young lady as our waitress Alix. A past waiter who wrote my fellow diner a card was there and came by to say hi to her his name was Pablo and he was very nice and welcoming. The manager also came over and was very gracious.

Ambiance is like old school steakhouse. It's not really my style per se but it's fine. The service was good. Food was also good. I had the lobster bisque soup special which had lots of large lobster chunks in it. For entree I had the salmon. It was good but I wish it would come with a starch of some sort. Bread for table was good with the salted butter. I ate more than 1 otherwise I prob would have left hungry with the portion size. I don't feel Like there are too many menu options. I would have only picked out like 3 different things. Overall it's a nice upscale place. I'd suggest visiting at lunch if you want to save a few bucks. read more
