Arrived 15 mins late to reservation but was still honored the table, for NYE it wasn’t packed. The food was prepared in great portion, the sides were sharable & everything tasted excellent. Hostess was quick, efficient & the restaurant is beautiful slightly dark but nice design.. overall great experience.
The ambience and the service was great. The bread on the table is great too.
However, the truth is the steak wasn’t so great. My friend ordered a filet mignon and it was both overcooked and dry. Surprisingly, it was the worst piece of meat when it was supposed to be the most tender. The two other pieces, a dry aged NY strip and the rib eye were average. They didn’t excel in their flavours and the rib eye was very chewy and fatty. The best piece of the table was the lamb chop, but this shouldn’t have been the case for a steakhouse.
The seafood starter was not fresh. The lobster tails and the shrimps tasted out of season. I would not recommend ordering.
I really wanted to try this restaurant and after this experience I have to sadly admit that it is bot worth spending for a fine dining experience if the quality of the food is fluctuating and leaning toward the lower end. We spent $120 per person.
Excellent all round. A perfect meal in a perfect setting with perfect service. Capital Grille has definitely earned a place on my Must-Go-To-Paces-In-New-York list.
