The Capital Grille provides an elegant escape from the bustling, big city streets for an afternoon or evening retreat whether it is for family night, date night, or even a business meeting.
There are a number of accommodations -- including private dining for receptions and parties -- where you can customize your own menu for a meal tailored to your tastes. Aside from private dining, there are the four menus: lunch, dinner, desserts, and bar menu. The lunch menu includes classic sandwiches and full entrées while dinner boasts favorites such as bone-in Kona-crusted sirloin served with caramelized shallot butter. Dessert options range from pies to sorbets, from cakes to classic crème brûlée. At the bar you can enjoy miniature lobster and crab burgers or Parmesan truffle fries while having a choice cocktail. With an extensive wine list of over 5,000 choices and other American cuisine classics such as fresh seafood or dry-aged steaks (dried on the premises), there are endless choices to suit any appetite.
In New York City, The Capital Grille has three locations. The first, 155 E. 42nd St., located in the Trylon Towers of the Chrysler Center is the perfect stop if one is coming from Grand Central terminal, to begin the day or evening in the city. (And you can catch the famous Chrysler Building hovering above in the New York skyline!)
Another location at 120 W. 51st St. in the Time-Life Building is convenient for pre-theatre drinks or dinner, or even stopping by for some dessert after the show. Not only is it near Times Square and surrounded by theatres, it is also near both the Museum of Modern Art and Radio City Music Hall.
The third location, 120 Broadway, is on Wall Street by the New York Stock Exchange in the heart of the Financial District.
In each location there are areas quiet and conducive for business lunches and also a lounge area which is more youthful and upbeat.
