Diner Reviews
  • "excellent service, fabulous food, great wine - overall A+"
    Dined on 7/20/2014
  • "The food is always good but never great. Too pricey. The "Generous Pour" is pretty average. The wines are not very special."
    Dined on 7/19/2014
  • "It was a pleasure to have a fine dinner with great service"
    Dined on 7/6/2014
  • "It was a fantastic experience. They give you plenty of time in between courses and the staff doesn't interupt you in conversation. Would suggest to anyone getting together with friends that they haven't seen in a while."
    Dined on 7/3/2014
  • "Our server, Katie, was just terrific. She gave superior service and was delightful in personallity. We go here often, and this is one of the reasons."
    Dined on 7/1/2014
  • "I always order the same thing - Caesar salad with seared scallops - but this time the scallops were ovecooked, dry and rubbery. Will try again but not my best lunch."
    Dined on 7/1/2014
  • "my wife and i's first time here and everything met our expectations and exceeded! We went for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. the food, service and ambience was spectacular. we'll certainly be back again."

  • "Always knock it out of the park this place. Have never had a bad time here. The beat staff and atmosphere in the city. Would like to see Pork Chops on the menu"
    Dined on 6/27/2014
  • "All staff were most professional & charming. The special occasion we were celebrating was made most special"
    Dined on 6/26/2014
  • "My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary at Capital Grille and it was perfect! We were spoiled with special touches like a champagne toast, dessert, and picture. The food (Calamari, Filet Oscar, Delmonico, Lobster Mac and Cheesed, French Beans) was delicious! Perfectly prepared, perfectly seasoned, perfectly presented. Like I said, it was a perfect night. Our waiter, J, was attentive and provided top-notch service throughout the evening. We are looking forward to our next trip to Pittsburgh so we can return to the Capital Grille."
    Dined on 6/25/2014
  • "Dined at Capital Grille on Friday with a group of 6. Fantastic experience...arrived early and was immediately seated. Our waiter, Kenny G was very knowledgable and provided superior service. food was fantastic! Unbelieveable mozerella appetizer. The Delmonico was to die for. Can't wait for a return visit - best mealand dinning experience that I have had in Pittsburgh in years."
    Dined on 6/20/2014
  • "The dry-aged steaks at the Capital Grille are some if the best steaks I have eer eaten. Sides are very good and enough to share with a group of 4."
    Dined on 6/20/2014
  • "Best steak house in Pittsburgh. Excellent service and ambiance."
    Dined on 6/14/2014
  • "We have been frequent diners of The Capital Grille in Chicago, Tampa, Charlotte and now Pittsburgh. The chain serves consistently excellent food with comfortable decor and polished service. They go the extra mile for a birthday celebration with a complimentary champagne toast and a delicious complimentary dessert. A great place to celebrate a special occasion!"
    Dined on 6/14/2014
  • "The food and service was excellent the waitress was outstanding!!"
    Dined on 6/9/2014
  • "The steak was excellent and the ambiance was good. I had the halibut, which was a good piece of fish, but uninspired preparation that was very bland. The sides were generally good. I liked the Parmesan truffle fries a lot. Dessert was okay. Cheesecake was very good, but the hazelnut chocolate cake was huge and just okay. So, if you are steak lovers, you will probably like this place better than the non-steak lovers will."
    Dined on 6/7/2014
  • "That about says it all. The food was great, the service was great, absolutely nothing to complain about."
    Dined on 6/4/2014
  • "Service was great, very attentive (with so many running around, how could you not be), and helpful. Nice menu, wide selection besides steaks, but while the food was good, it was not great. Would not stop me from coming back."
    Dined on 6/4/2014
  • "This place is great. Every bit of food was incredible from the Spicy Calamari to the creamed corn. Only complaint it that it is really, and I mean really DARK inside. "
    Dined on 6/3/2014
  • "Food was good but overpriced. I appreciate fine dining but the $50 steak was on par with the equivalent $24 steak at any other restaurant. I wouldn't complain if there was something that set it apart. It actually was a tad over cooked. There just wasn't anything special to justify the extra price especially when you have to add all your sides at $10 a pop. There are plenty of other restaurants in Pittsburgh that give you a memorable meal if you are spending this kind of money. The cheesecake was spectacular though. "
    Dined on 6/3/2014
  • "Everything we ate was even better than we had imagined. Our server was very knowledgeable and explained the menu and the different ways that we could have our steak prepared, they seemed to really care about the customers experience. The French Onion soup and Calamari are must eats! The calamari is served with peppers so it is a bit spicy but the take on it was unique and very good."
    Dined on 6/1/2014
  • "My wife and I celebrated an anniversary with our first visit to Capital Grille. We both remarked more than once about how terrific everything was: the food, the service, the wine selection (several times the size of the menu!) and the ambience. I had noted (via OpenTable) that it was our anniversary, and the staff at Capital Grille took a few extra steps to make it a fantastic experience. It's those little things that make a difference between a really good and a really great restaurant, and it's because of that experience that we'll definitely be back. Be sure to ask for Danny, who also happens to be the sommelier."
    Dined on 5/31/2014
  • "Table spacing, carpeting and tablecloths help muffle noise, thereby making the restaurant good for quiet conversations. [It is only when a large noisy group is adjacent that the noise level is too high.]"
    Dined on 5/28/2014
  • "This was a repeat visit for us. Tried a couple different things: the lobster bisque was excellent, porcini dusted delmonico was good (but a little too heavy on the balsamic glaze), spinach salad was excellent and the home made sorbet was the perfect finish to the meal. Tiffany was our server and she was very helpful and pleasant. We would definitely return!"
    Dined on 5/27/2014
  • "Went over the top for my wife's birthday. Will go back again. Thanks for a great night capital grille!"
    Dined on 5/20/2014
  • "The Capital Grille is an annual family tradition. I always enjoy taking my mom and sister. But prices have increased, making it a higher price point than other steak houses. I'm not sure the price differential is justified. Still enjoyed the dinner, but the increases make me want to explore my options in the city."
    Dined on 5/18/2014
  • "My wife and I were in Pittsburgh for vacation, staying at the Fairmont Hotel just a block away. The Capital Grill is superb. It is beautiful inside, has an amazing wine selection and dry aged steaks. The service was excellent. Ask for Bruce, he was knowledgeable and efficient. The manager circulated making sure all guest were happy. It dry aged sirloin was one of the best steaks I've had. I highly recommend this restaurant. The next time I'm in Pittsburgh I'm going to dine here."
    Dined on 5/14/2014
  • "We celebrated a birthday and Capital Grille made the occasion very special. "
    Dined on 5/14/2014
  • "Good food, loud, we were placed in middle tables near kitchen. Service and food good. Didn't match though price of meal. "
    Dined on 5/11/2014
  • "We went to Capital Grill for Mother's Day Brunch. Interestingly, their brunch fare is very reasonably priced! We each enjoyed a great entree with plenty of the "share" sides (3 sides for 5 people) and had leftovers for a couple meals at home. Very good quality. Very spicy Bloody Mary! I'm not a fan of chains - but it's with hitting at the right time. And I'd go back for brunch!"
    Dined on 5/11/2014
  • "the food was very good but this was a holiday branch and the service was kind of slow. It took a long time to get our check because of that."
    Dined on 5/11/2014
  • "We had a fabulous experience at the Capital Grille. From the time we walked in the door, we were treated like queens (It was a ladies' night out!) The wait staff could not have been more attentive and the service was impeccable. Every single one of us LOVED our meals. The prices are a little high, but for the service you get and the outstanding quality of the food, it is well-worth the investment for an occasional night out on the town. We will all be back!"
    Dined on 5/10/2014
  • "I was very dissatisfied with the entire event at Capital Grill in Pittsburgh. I had a reservation for 6:45 pm and we arrived early and our table was not quite ready and headed to the bar. Before we got a drink they came back to seat us. We were seated in the entrance way of the restaurant. It was cold from the wind coming in everytime the door opened from the outside and we had people parading by our table the entire dinnner. When our waiter came to the table it was like they did not want to serve us or wait on us. The impression I got form our waiter was we did not order enough drinks, appetizesr or entrees to me the minimum she was looking for for a table of 4. The service was not very good and the food average. "
    Dined on 5/3/2014
  • "Our experience was great and the service was excellent. we went for our anniversary and we would definitely come back in the future,"
    Dined on 5/3/2014
  • "Always a great spot to go ~ food and service just perfect always! Its my go to spot for lunch ~ and a great dinner option as well. Onion soup is to die for!!! GO and ENJOY!!!"
    Dined on 4/30/2014
  • "Because of the prices, this is not a place we would go to for a normal night out. It was our anniversary and we decided to treat ourselves. The meal was good, but probably not worth what you pay for a steak. However, the ambiance and the service was incredible. Had complimentary champagne and dessert and even had our picture taken by our waiter; who then put it in a souvenir frame for us. "
    Dined on 4/26/2014
  • "Fine dining. 5 star food. Great service. Great wine. Expensive, but it's fine dining, so it's not outrageous. Don't go here looking for a deal. Go here when you are looking for a great wine list and amazing food. Service was great as well. "
    Dined on 4/25/2014
  • "We took our daughter there for her graduation celebration (from college). As always the capital grille does not disappoint. The food was delicious. The only thing that I can say that we didn't like was that the waiter (as we were there longer) was slower and slower to come back and check on the table to see if we wanted anything else. We will be back."
    Dined on 4/25/2014
  • "Wonderful atmosphere. Service and food were excellent. Pricey, but well worth it."
    Dined on 4/19/2014
  • "Was a great evening for a special night in our lives. "
