    We sat downstairs off the bar which was crowded but not noisy. Music was not too loud so good for her conversation. Burgers are excellent as are the fries. Our non-beef eating companion loved the seared salmon kale salad. Helpful and attentive service.

    Edward was great, thank you! As fans of The Capital Grille, we tested out The Capital Burger for the first time. Food was hot and fresh, but the flavors itself exceeded our expectations. It’s a more casual ambience but still had that well-known Capital Grille feeling. The Red Chili Glazed Wings were an amazing starter. You will love the wing sauce. It was sweet with a touch of spice. We both chose the Bacon Cheeseburger as our entree. The tomato jam complimented the burger so well. Sweet potato fries were tasty and the Parmesan Truffle fries are always a big favorite. Awesome experience all-around.

    Straightforward menu for a burger joint but burgers, fries and shakes were all very disappointing. This was surprising, considering the establishment’s name, mission, reputation, and location.

    The restaurant had an old school vibe and for Newbury St. I really liked that. The place was loud and tables were packed tight. I had a table where my chair would only pull out a bit as it was so tight to wall. The apps were good but a bit on the smaller side. We had wings, deviled eggs, and the pretzel...probably the best pretzel and cheese sauce I've had. The burgers were also a bit on the smaller side for the price. I ordered my burger med rare where everyone else ordered med. My burger was closer to med well. I don't like sending food back so I ate it. The flavors were all there and overall a solid burger.
