Capital Grille

   Consistency is the name of the game and Capital Grille constantly takes the crown.  I've been to a fair share of Boston's high end steakhouses and every time the bar is set by Capital Grille.

    I'll go on the record and say it, Capital Grille is probably the best in town followed closely by Ruth's Chris, better than Grill 23, Moo..., S&W, and Abe & Louie's etc.  Pricing is normal for the niche market they're in, expect to pay at least 40.00$ a steak but that's pretty much what you'll find at any high end steakhouse.  The real glory for CG lies with the three most important dining attributes: food, service, and consistency.

   The cuts at CG are always fresh and mouthwatering, bursting with just the right amount of flavor and tenderness. You know Capital Grille is serious because they have a sophisticated dry-aged chamber on display at certain locations to display culinary arts.  Aside from the food being outstanding any time you dine at Capital Grille you'll find that service is always their number one priority,  I've had special occasions at different locations and each one always took care of our parties going above and beyond the status quo, whether it's taking pictures for you or doing something special on the house.  Some readers might think that I'm putting too much emphasis on consistency however they must realize that steak can be a huge hit or miss.  I'll admit that there are times where Moo... can have the best steak ever but then there are days where they'll have steak that tastes like it came from Texas Roadhouse, and for the price that you're going to pay you don't want to play the blind hit or miss game. 

   Even though I'll always rave about how good Capital Grille is, after visiting the next tier of Steakhouses in cities such as Las Vegas and New York I simply can't give them the perfect 10/10 but they're pretty darn close.  I think it's important to note that the ambiance of certain locations might turn some of the younger readers away, this establishment is definitely targeted towards the older wealthier demographic, however that shouldn't be a deterrent from one of the best steakhouses around.  I would say the most modern atmosphere can be found in Burlington while the retro classic vibe can be found in Chestnut Hill and Boston.

Score: We loved it! (9/10)
