- EEricVIPGreater Boston •19 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoLast night, we had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our daughter’s 19th birthday at The Capital Grille, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, elegant, and perfect for a special family evening. Our favorite waiter, Sean, truly outdid himself once again. His impeccable service, attentiveness, and warm personality made us feel like royalty. He anticipated every need without ever being intrusive and brought such a personal touch to the evening—Sean is a true gem! The food was exceptional, as always. From the perfectly chilled shrimp cocktail to the beautifully cooked steaks and indulgent sides, every bite was a reminder of why The Capital Grille is our go-to for special occasions. And let’s not forget the desserts—decadent, beautifully presented, and the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful night. Most importantly, our daughter felt so celebrated and special. It was a perfect evening surrounded by love, laughter, and outstanding hospitality. Thank you, Capital Grille, and especially Sean, for helping us create another cherished family memory! We’ll be back again soon—and we’ll definitely be requesting Sean!More infoThe Capital Grille - Chestnut HillPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Chestnut Hill•4.7

Discover Chestnut Hill
One of the unique claims to fame of the village of Chestnut Hill is that it encompasses sections of three separate Massachusetts towns and cities: Newton, Brookline and even a bit of Boston. In much the same way, a multitude of world cuisines come together in Chestnut Hill. Whether you want Japanese sushi or Mexican tacos, Chestnut Hill has it. The neighborhood's Italian restaurants are largely upscale places that serve steaks alongside their pastas. Of course, American fare abounds in Chestnut Hill too, with fish dishes at the top of the list. With Boston's proximity to the harbor, seafood restaurants are a must for the neighborhood. A steaming bowl of New England clam chowder serves as a common starter for a fresh fish dinner.
