    We've been here a couple times and it's been a Boston tradition at this point. We always sit at the bar and was always so enthralled with the caricatures that was painted in the walls. They're the regulars that have earned a spot in the wall. We sat down and I ordered an Italian 75 from their cocktail menu. I was really impressed with the drink list as well as this cocktail. Fantastic take on the French 75! We were only here for a short while so we ordered shrimp cocktail and some oysters. Both were delicious and tasted very fresh. We sat a bit at the bar and then planned out the rest of our day. Great place!

    As always excellent conversation with my nephew over a great dinner in a stunning atmosphere!

    Chicken parm
    Susan D.

    This review is about private party spacing. I attended a continuing education program in their private enclosed patio space. The dinner and servers were well- organized. We had a set menu with a few options. The servers were very good. Most of us had the filet mignon- a colleague had the chicken parm which was enormous. The heat lamps were too hot when on and too cold when off- it was a temperature battle all evening. But that was just a mild distraction. The first was cooked perfectly as ordered. The servers moved around during the program without being disruptive. Good space and food options if you have a private event.

    Linguine & clams in a delightful sauce!
    David K.

    It was a bit hit or miss at our table. My dish started out fine, but I couldn't get through it. Part of the pasta was a bit too al dente - and the other part was spot on. The rest of the table gave mixed reviews as well. Someone ordered shrimp which was fantastic - but the lady next to him hardly touched her dish. You hate to leave a poor review because the venue and the service was epic. Our server was fantastic and handled a table of 12 with professionalism. But - like some of my hometown reviews - if you are going to be charging a high price for your meals - everyone should be impressed at the table. No one even tried for dessert (0/12).

    Chicken Parm Sandwich
    Jessica B.

    I had an awkward lunch here recently... I came here with colleagues for lunch during the week. I ordered the chicken parm sandwich. It came served on a...hamburger bun?? A HAMBURGER BUN!! I couldn't get over how awkward this was for me as I've never had it like this before. Its always come on a sub roll at any other place I've ordered this. I gave it a shot and it tasted just as awkward as it looked; the soft & spongy hamburger bun did not hold up and is a poor vessel for a heavy piece of chicken smothered in sauce. The bun turned into a wet soggy mess. I started eating the chicken parm alone with a fork & knife, which was actually delicious and made me wish I had pasta on the side. The fries that came with the sandwich were also delicious and tasted like they came from real potatoes. There was also a small, awkward side of pickled veggies on my plate. Like why?? They certainly did not go with or compliment my meal in any way. Almost seemed like they were put there by accident. The food here seems high quality, but awkwardly put together. I think there are definitely better and less expensive options in the area!

    7 ounce wagyu filet and lobster tail
    Karen H.

    Surprised by the lower reviews for this restaurant. The food was amazing, the service was impecable and the ambiance was classic Boston. I ordered a Wagyu filet with a lobster tail accompanied by creamed spinach, scalloped potatoes and fries. We had the indulgent sea food tower which was enough to share with 7 people. The food was so delicious and the steak so tender. I lost my beanie and the waiters went out of their way to find it. Would love to come back and visit.

    Gigi salad, bone marrow soup
    Karina Z.

    Very nice atmosphere. Ordered the Gigi salad and the shrimp tasted bland and the bacon tasted off. Ordered two of these salads and they both tasted ehh. The iceberg lettuce was wilted and I could make a better salad at home. We also got the bone marrow soup! That was a 4/5. The soup was good. For the price of the salad, totally not worth it.

Given the choice, however, I now prefer the modern, polished, almost clubby feel of this location in the Seaport. The restaurant isn't particularly large, but it's a beautifully designed space. For larger groups, they have a few round tables that work especially well, including one that perfectly accommodated our party of seven. You can always count on a great dining experience at any of Chef Jamie Mammano's restaurants. His commitment to the highest quality chow, attentive service, fine wines, and an elegant atmosphere has made him one of Boston's most respected restaurateurs. Our meal here was spectacular. The cocktails were perfectly crafted, and it's hard to go wrong with anything on the menu. Standout starters included the Wagyu Beef Dumplings, Tuna Tartare, and the Dry-Aged Bolognese Lumache. For entrées, we shared several different cuts of steak, all expertly prepared and presented sliced for the table. The Beef Wellington is also fantastic here. The sides are uniformly excellent, but don't miss the Char-Roasted Heirloom Carrots with Honey and the Yukon Gold Potatoes. Desserts are equally impressive. Highly recommend both the Milk & Cookies and the Bananas Foster. I'd like to especially thank our waitress, who provided exceptional service and helped make the evening truly special. We were celebrating my son's graduation, and her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail enhanced what was already a memorable occasion. I also appreciated the excellent service from their new sommelier. Mooo continues to set the standard for the modern Boston steakhouse experience. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I will say Service was SPECTACULAR. All the staff were friendly, accommodating. Alex our server was knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. The best bite of the dinner was undoubtedly the wagu dumplings, they were rich but well balanced. The octopus appetizer was over charred, the burnt taste was the top note, making it bitter. Sadly, our mains were also charred/burnt. The steak for the steak frites, we asked for medium well, but was really charred, again taking away from the taste. The branzino skin was burnt and the capers that came with it so charred to the point of being dry, charcoal dust balls. The French fries and mashed potatoes were well executed as was the au poivre sauce. Dessert was impressive, the bananas foster can easily serve 3 or 4 people, I loved the brûléed bananas and the presentation was beautiful. Overall, there were some standout dishes but if an appetizer and a dessert overshadow the mains, something is amiss.

While the beautiful venue, incredible food, and attentive staff certainly deserve recognition, the true reason these events have been so successful is Rob, the Events Manager! From our very first conversation, Rob has been an absolute professional and a genuine partner in every sense of the word. Planning large-scale celebrations can be complex, but Rob makes the entire process feel effortless. He is responsive, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure every aspect of the event exceeds expectations. His commitment to hospitality is evident in everything he does. He took the time to understand our goals, our students, and the significance of these celebrations. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism, expertise, and warmth so naturally. The Events Team and staff reflect this standard. Every member of the team has been welcoming, accommodating, and dedicated to providing exceptional service. Our graduates, families, faculty, and staff consistently leave talking about how wonderful the experience was, and that is a direct reflection of the culture of hospitality Rob has cultivated. If you are considering hosting an event in Boston, I cannot recommend Bostonia Public House highly enough. Ask for Rob...you will quickly understand why he is such an incredible asset to the organization! His dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients set the gold standard for what event hospitality should be. We are already looking forward to being back next year.

Ali was an exceptional server. He paid attention to all the little details that turned a great meal into a memorable one.

One of our favorite moments was when he noticed the two boys (both 12) tackling the huge bone-in ribeye. He jokingly told them that if they finished it, dessert was on him. They accepted the challenge, cleaned their plates, and Ali happily kept his promise! Not only did he bring the desserts, but he surprised them with an extra dessert, and each dessert plate had "Congratulations!" written in chocolate. Those thoughtful, personal touches are what truly set a restaurant apart. This is exactly how you wow your guests. It's not just about serving outstanding food--it's about creating an experience people will remember. Our party of seven (four adults and three teenagers) spent about $800, and every single dollar felt worth it. The food was phenomenal, but what made the evening unforgettable was the hospitality. A heartfelt thank you to Ali and the entire Capital Grille team--from the bartenders, bussers, chefs, pastry chefs, hostesses, dishwashers, and everyone working behind the scenes.

The cup clam chowder seemed decent enough. The NY strip arrived textbook medium rare per my request - warm red center without grey bands. The accompanying shallot butter did not overpower the steak. The creamed spinach and mashed potatoes, as expected of a classic American steakhouse, deliciously tasted like butter with potato and spinach garnish. I strategically asked for the dessert to-go, expecting to have no more stomach capacity by the end of the meal. In all, another great experience at a solid price.
