| - My family and I visited for lunch during Pittsburgh Restaurant Week. Our reservation was confirmed through the OpenTable app, and we were politely greeted and promptly seated upon arrival. Although there was quite a difference in the restaurant week pricing versus the actual menu prices, service and quality were not compromised.
Unfortunately, the field greens and tomato salad listed on the restaurant week website had been changed to a wedge salad at the restaurant. Since I don't eat pork or like blue cheese, I opted for the only other selection of clam chowder. I never eat clam chowder (personal preference) but I was actually pleased with the taste and consistency. For the entree course, we all ordered the dry aged sirloin with roasted pepper, fresh mozzarella, and arugula salad - wow! My one complaint is that my steak was a bit underdone, but I switched with my brother who didn't mind a more rare steak. The steak was a quality cut of beef, and the side dish was the perfect accompaniment. For dessert, we all opted for the creme brûlée with fresh berries. This dessert selection was another deviation from the online menu, but a pleasant surprise since it was absolutely delicious.
I've visited other Pittsburgh steakhouses that boast the same quality and service as The Capital Grille, but none can compare to this experience. My parents didn't stop talking about this meal for weeks, and even tried to replicate it at home. Thank you for a great experience!
P.S.- I've already booked a reservation for my parent's upcoming anniversary.
