The Capital Grille

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Boston Institution for American Fine Dining

The Capital Grille at 250 Boylston Street in Chestnut Hill has earned its place among Boston's most respected dining destinations. The restaurant's wine program has drawn recognition from Wine Spectator, which awarded it the Best of Award of Excellence in 2025 — a distinction that speaks to the depth and curation behind the list.

The American Steakhouse, Done with Conviction

At its core, The Capital Grille is an American restaurant built around the classics: dry-aged steaks, fresh seafood, and a bar program that complements a serious cellar. The setting carries the weight of a proper dining room — the kind of place suited equally to a business lunch and a celebratory dinner.

A Wine Program Worth the Recognition

Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly. It signals a wine list of significant breadth and thoughtful selection, curated to pair with the boldly flavored American cuisine the kitchen is known for. For guests who care about what's in the glass as much as what's on the plate, that credential matters.

The Capital Grille serves lunch and dinner, making it one of the more versatile upscale American options in the greater Boston area.
