The Capital Grille — Restaurant in Dedham

We had a lovely dinner at Capitol Grill in Dedham Friday, September 15th, that recently opened one month ago. Lindsay greeted us warmly as our waitress whom we recognized from working at Del Frisco’s in Westwood, and Aquitaine Dedham when it was open, and we received outstanding service! We ate at a high top table in the bar and decided to go early at 4:30pm, since they do not take reservations in the bar. We also found out that Lindsay works the bar area Friday’s and Sunday’s, and is on the floor the other days, so we plan to come back and ask for Lindsay because she was excellent, and it is always nice to be greeted warmly! We enjoyed the following: Field Greens Salad, with Butter Leaf Lettuce, Heirloom Tomatoes, Parmesan Vinaigrette. Lobster and Crab Cake with Lemon Basil Aioli Tuna Tartare with avocado, mango, and spicy sriracha sauce Heirloom tomato burrata salad fresh heirloom tomatoes, creamy burrata and 15 year aged balsamic Chef’s Suggestion Sliced Filet Mignon with Cipollini Onions, Wild Mushrooms and Fig Essence: ordered medium rare Dry Aged NY/KC Strip au Poivre with Courvoisier Cream, 14 ounces: ordered medium rare We have been regulars at the Boston and Chestnut Hill locations (and have also been to the Providence, NYC, and Phoenix Capitol Grill locations), and it is nice that we have a closer Capitol Grill location with equally great food, service, and ambiance! Everything that we ordered was a 10 out of 10, and our steaks were cooked perfectly! The restaurant was previously a PF Chang’s, and the entire interior has been replaced with the full Capitol Grill ambiance. There is valet parking that starts at 5pm, so there was no valet when we arrived early, but there was plenty of parking. Upon departure, we met the general manager who was at the front door, and we told him that we fully enjoyed everything! Thank you to the chef, our server Lindsay, and everyone that is working behind the scenes to deliver our wonderful meal! Thank you to all on a spectacular evening! We...

My visit to Capital Grille left me with mixed feelings. The restaurant has a decent-sized parking lot, but many spots are reserved for valet, so you may need to park in the lower lot and walk. Inside, the bathroom was clean and pleasantly lit with a scented candle, but I was surprised by the lack of a front-door waiting area—there’s nowhere to sit while you wait to be called. Even with a reservation, you might need to wait and there is hardly any standing room there as people come and go. The prices here are steep, to say the least. Entrees come solo, with sides sold separately at portions large enough for two or maybe three people. The bar looked nice. However, snagging a seat at the bar is nearly impossible. The dining area offers plenty of booths and a side room that seems reserved for special events. As for the food, we ordered different steaks, but they were a letdown. The meat was clearly under-seasoned—or possibly not seasoned at all—which is disappointing for the price. A touch of salt (I’m no salt fanatic) helped salvage the flavor, but you shouldn’t have to play chef at a place like this. Our server and their assistant runner were excellent, providing attentive and friendly service. Unfortunately, the noisy atmosphere made it hard to hold a conversation without raising our voices. I’d heard Capital Grille was the gold standard for steaks, and expected the cats meow, but sadly, the cat wasn’t meowing for us. For the cost, I expected more flavor...
