Melissa AndrewsSeptember 1, 2016Everything is amazing. Cesar salad is a little tangy, not the original creamy kind but it was fantastic! Great selection of wine and cocktails. Prosciutto wrapped mozzarella kinda tastes like bacon.
Mimi UkwuaniMarch 8, 2015Had the most basil tom salad, and lamb chops which were awwwwesome sauce. Didn't get to the lobster Mac+cheese, but the tasting bite was oh so good. Like I need the recipe!
Shanda McGowenJune 18, 2015French onion soup is delicious, ribeye is superb. Cone salad is always a winner. Ask for Neal - has the best personality and offers wonderful pairings as well as night life activities.
Real Living | At HomeJune 20, 2013Lets be clear: TCG makes an AWESOME steak. If you want they very best, ask for the Filet Mignon, pepper crusted in au poivre sauce. If you like more marble the Ribeye is also to die for.
Shane HectorFebruary 16, 2016Everything was good. The food, the service was good. The waitress we had was so good. The only thing bad was the damn valet because he asked me for a tip. I'm like wow.- Sean MillerDecember 31, 2015We had an amazing lunch here this month. Kylie took great care of us during our dining experience. The lobster and crab burger was delicious! I added a cup of the lobster bisque to top it off.
Obviously a great steak house, however don't forget about the details, the Stoli Doli, French onion soup, clam chowder, and creamed spinach are worthy additions!
Montaha HidefiAugust 16, 2014Best place in Washington...we went back 3 times within 2 days.. the calamaries with spicy bell peppers are the best calamaries i ever had in my life...
Jeremy PacAugust 13, 2013The Filet Mignon, pepper crusted in au poivre sauce was easily one of the top 10 steaks I have ever had. Great atmosphere here too.
Jane BrowneDecember 1, 2012Booking a table is a must - use open table an gain points at the same time . Great for the steak lovers but sadly not good for the steak eaters veggie partners not even one veggie option.
Jim LowdenMarch 8, 2013Visited while in D.C. on business. Amazing restaurant, fantastic food, "hob-nob" with the politicians and celebrities who go there to 'see and be seen'. Pricey!
Daniel BurtonSeptember 21, 2015Best place to eat on Pennsylvania Avenue. The bacon was great! Believe me I have eaten at every restaurant in DC.
FreskoJanuary 11, 2016The food is great but the service is quite inatentive. Our waiter simply threw the menus and dishes in the table, i know you're in a rush, but c'mon, I'm not paying 2cents for my meal
Melissa DelaCalzadaApril 25, 2010Just do it. Since you'll want all the sides, get some as appetizers like the Vidalia Onion Rings. Lobster Mac and Cheese to die for. Kona-crusted anything rocks. And can't go wrong with Filet Oscar (u
Casey KnoxSeptember 11, 2012Pretty good clam chowder (too many potatoes, not enough clam); Cesar salad is wonderful; bread selection is unique- pumpernickel is delish!
Sophia E.February 12, 2016Classic american steakhouse. YUM! The portion of fries is gigantic, btw. One will feed three people.
Morten AuthenSeptember 19, 2017The Capital Grille allways deliver 100%. My favourite steak house in D.C
Javier LorenzoAugust 31, 2014Chocolate hazelnut cake. After a bone in, steak tartar, Caesar salad and lobster Mac and cheese... Maybe is too much
- Vince SullivanMarch 10, 2013Arnold Palmer and Bohemian cocktails are tops. Lobster MAC n cheese is delicious. Service was awesome.
One of the best cocktail lists around. Unique and crafted with care. Eat the fries at the bar!- Paul KrzychSeptember 27, 2014Get the Waygu burger and wine deal! As good as the Cab was go for the Pinot.
David LazarusOctober 4, 2011Everything is great, the calamari with hot cherry peppers and of course the bone in ribeye Del Monico is the very best anywhere.
- Maggie JoyApril 26, 2013Drinks are all fantastic! Tried the Stoli Doli, Arnold Palmer, and Ruby Red - all delicious
Best restaurant week place to go. Stoli-Doli, clam chowder and dry aged kona sirloin. Just awesome
Burger @ Wine for $25 until Nov. 11 with great choices of Silver Oak Cabernet or Belle Glos 'Las Alturas' Pinot Noir
- Javier LorenzoJuly 4, 2015Dry aged porterhouse steak, crab cakes, parmigian truffle fries ... And everything else
Thomas StangaDecember 20, 2013Vegetarian? Ask the waiter for a veggie pasta. Not on the menu but they can do it.
Enjoy the burger in the lounge or anything on their lounge menu.. Always a yummy experience!- John KeatingSeptember 22, 2021A favorite while in DC. A Republican hang out during the Clinton years.
DO order the house drink..a stoli doli... made with stoli vodka and dole pineapples.. the bartender will tell you all about it...xoxo
Yolanda HawkinsFebruary 18, 2013The lobster bisque is still available even though it isn't featured on the menu.
John MalleyFebruary 1, 2016Horrible.... Definitely not worth the price or the hype. The quality of the meat is only alright. Service was mediocre at best. Definitely wouldn't return!
