The Capital Grille

My favorite steakhouse in Bethesda/Chevy Chase area. Been here many times throughout the years and it never disappoints. My favorite appetizers are the clam chowder, lobster crab cakes and the Cold shellfish platter. For the Cold shellfish platter, they serve you shrimp cocktail, oysters, lobster claws and lobster tails. For steaks, my go to is the Kona crusted NY Strip and the Porcini-Rubbed Bone-In Ribeye. They are so good. Order them medium-rare. It's so tender and flavorful. You honestly can't go wrong with any of their steaks. For sides, the creamed spinach, mashed potatoes and Au Gratin Potatoes are my favorites. For dessert, the Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake is the one to get. They do have a kid's menu and for larger parties they do require a private dining room. I think they c

This restaurant is located on the border of Maryland and Washington, DC, at the intersection of Wisconsin and Western Avenue. I’ve been to The Capital Grille in Scottsdale, and the menu and flavors here are very similar. However, the decor at this location really stands out—it has a sense of history and a museum-like feel, almost like a collection of national treasures. I especially loved the bronze statues throughout the space. I ordered the oysters for lunch, and they were an excellent choice—fresh, briny, and very refreshing. Service was okay, but it didn’t quite meet the high standard expected of this restaurant.

Had an excellent lunch at The Capital Grille. They had amazing food and truly fantastic service. The lamb chops were the standout, and the Lobster Mac ’N’ Cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely worth ordering again. It is definitely my most favorite mac and cheese I ever had and would certainly recommend you all to taste it. My only minor downside was parking: even after using the garage, it’s a bit of a walk (not fun in the cold) to get to the restaurant. Other than that, everything was on point and definitely deserved 5 stars. I will be back!

Great restaurant. Really good food. Drinks are very good as well. I enjoyed the steaks as well as the sides for the table. I do recommend that you get a reservation because even with a reservation we still had a little bit of a wait. We did go on a Saturday night so it was very busy but I would go again. Very good food. Very good service and very good atmosphere

I love it here! The service was top notch, Julio-our server-was very attentive and professional. The food was amazing. There was 7 of us celebrating my birthday/retirement. We had a fantastic time.
