We had dinner prior to attending a musical at the Benedum. We started with calamari which was prepared with jalapeño peppers. These added a little spice which was a nice addition. My wife had the sea bass and it was fabulous. I had the filet. It was perfectly prepared. You have to order the lobster Mac & cheese. It is... More

Took my mother here for lunch on her birthday. Prices were not that bad at lunch, and you could order from a special menu that made it even more affordable. They really have some nice touches for special occassions. Service was fabulous. I loved the truffle fries! Definitely a great addition to Downtown Pittsburgh's dining scene.

It's just hard to beat the quality of service, food & drink and service. Slightly smaller than other Grilles, the ambience is intimate and sophisticated. Slightly pricey, but worth it.

We recently had the privilege of having lunch at the Capital Grille in Down Town Pittsburgh. It was for a special occasion, a luncheon with co-workers, there were 14 of us and they had our table ready when we arrived, it is a cozy atmosphere and yet everything was prepared very tastefully and elegant. Our food was delicious and served... More

The service was friendly and very attentive. The prosciutto mozzarella appetizer was delicious. I am not a huge prosciutto fan but having it lightly grilled and wrapped around fresh Mozzerella made it amazing. The salads were average. I did not care for the sauce that accompanied the mushrooms and cipollini onions but the sliced filet mignon itself was phenomenal. The... More
