The Capital Grille Restaurant-Review

I cannot believe I waited a whole year to share my thoughts on the “CG”.

I eat every where and”  I love steakhouses”,

they are my favorite.

My favorite: bar none, is The Capital Grille.

In Boston, this was one of the first high end Steakhouses. Many have tried to follow and failed. If you have read my recent reviews of The Palms and Flemming’s, you will know that I can be a tough judge.

I had a chance to Eat at the capital, twice this week. last Saturday night in Boston, on Newbury Street and on New years eve in Providence. Both were excellent. The food consistant and GREAT, and the service terrific.

I have eaten at maybe 8 of the restaurants around the country, but Boston is my favorite. I used to work a couple of doors down. The rich wood makes it feel like a steak house. the tables are a little close, and you can hear the people next to you and you get a back rub sometimes when people walk by, but that might be the only slight downside. many might consider that part of the eclectic charm of it all.

What made me write, was my New Years visit to the Grille in providence. We had a 8:45 reservation. It was bitter cold out and we ducked in early to have some drinks and wait. We asked if it was possible to get seated early and we were accomodated. That was very nice. We sat at a booth and my friend who is ultra picky, asked for a change of seating. We were switched to the wine room without hesitation or an issue. again a nice surprise.

Kyle Mitchell

It was our luck too, because we got an extremely nice waiter in Kyle Mitchell. he was charming, smart and seemed to have all the time in the world for us and made the experience great.

The pregame bread was as usual terrific. I  like the matzo with some butter and that raisin bread is to die for.

I stayed away from the seafood tower, but try it you will like it.

I had the onion soup and the 20 ounce bone in sirlion.

To steal a line from Campbell soup it was HMMMM HMMM Good.  I was instructed by Kyle that if I got the medium rare that it would come with a warm RED center. That is exactly the way it arrived. I surveyed the wifes delmonico that was medium and

My actual soup

thought I liked that look even better. Kyle took it back with a smile and returned shortly with it just the way I wanted it. the manager also dropped by to see if I was happy.

Happy, I was ecstatic. A great soup, a big steak and a “Stoli Doli” who wouldn’t be happy.

Providence Capital Grille and the whole chain get the first ever Monty Minute ***** FIVE STAR RATING

Kudos to the “CG” and I hope to see you there.
