Just not worth it 1/31/2009

Good place to see and be seen but not for a great meal. Food was decent but not worth the price and not close to Mortons or Ruths Chris. Service was lousy. Our waiter had such a bad cold he could hardly talk. Now we're all wondering if we're going to get sick. The tables are way too small and the one we had was so dark they had to bring us a flashlight so we could read the menu. It was so dark one waitress kept joking about it. When I told her a side dish looked good she asked how I could see it. Pros: menu options, side dishes, decor Cons: service, table size, lighting, price more

Food wasn't nearly good enough to justify the price despite the fabulous atmosphere and service. 11/16/2008

I went here for the first time recenly and I must say I was a little disappointed. This was only one experience, maybe I was unlucky, but my impression is that the food isnt nearly good enough to justify what it will cost you, especially if you can't afford to go to a place like this very often. Don't get me wrong, the atmosphere is great and the service outstanding, but the food was anything but. Pros: Great atmosphere, insanely outstanding service Cons: Food mediocre and very expensive more

Great experience - Outstanding food and service! 4/30/2008

The Omni (thanks Alton) suggested Capital Grille. We have absolutely no regrets. The experience was fantastic - I cannot say enough about how good the food and service was here. The Kansas City steak was highly recommended by our wonderful server. We also tried the spinach salad with bacon which is incredible. The asparagus and lobster mac and cheese were both super and delicious as well. We loved the restaurants ambience and fine dining setting. It's a great place for various kinds of groups - couples, families, outing with friends and business dinners. This restaurant is definitely a must try! Pros: Food, Wine, Service, Ambience Cons: nothing more

Excellent steaks, attentive service, overpriced wine 3/13/2008

My wife have been to the other three 'upscale' steak restaurants in Pittsburgh, so we decided to use my mother-in-law's birthday as an occasion to try the Capital Grille. Pros: Great steaks, excellent service, extensive wine list Cons: shout-across-the-table loud; overpriced wine more

WOW 1/31/2008

My husband and I enjoyed a meal at this beautifully decorated, warm restaurant New Year's. Spectacular! Our waiter was extremely helpful helping us to maneuver the menu as first timers. His recommendations were right on. The price was a little higher than Ruth's Chris but the food was MUCH better. With a bottle of wine you are easily looking at $50 a person. We highly recommend the heirloom tomato salad, and the Kona crusted steak with the lobster mac and cheese. Unbelievable. As if we had room, the coconut cake is to die for! If you have a special night, go here! Can't wait to go back! more

Fantastic for Lunch 1/20/2008

I recently vistied the Capital Grille the day after Christmas with my girlfriend, mother and aunt for lunch. The staff was very nice and helpful pairing wine with our meals. I ordered the crab and lobster burger which was fantastic. The other people in my party also raved about their meals which were fantastic. I would recommend visiting the bar for a drink before your meal even if you are there for lunch. I would recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner. You will not be disappointed in your meal and the wine selection is one of the best in the City. The meals are a little pricey but I would consider this one of the top three restaurants in the City. The quality of the meal, service and drinks are reflective of the price. Do yourself a favor and visit the Capital Grille for a special evening out. more

FABULOUS! 1/8/2008

This is the best steakhouse in the city. I love Ruth Chris and Hyde Park don't get me wrong, but we had fantastic service here. Our waitress, Jessie, was delightful and she even slipped in a few surprises here and there (like champagne and desserts) and it wasnt even a special occasion! We will certainly go back and request her and I suggest you do the same! Pros: our server, ambiance, FOOD! more

Wonderful, feels like NYC in Pittsburgh 9/6/2007

I just ate here with my wife and some close friends and everything was wonderful. It is amazing to believe that the building was once a department store. Food was cooked perfectly, staff was trained very well, the free valet was very nice and the city is looking up! A wonderful addition to downtown Pittsburgh! Pros: Ambience, location, Free Valet, service, food quality, wine list Cons: A bit pricey, book ahead i hear it has been difficult to get a reservation more
