    We usually love Capital Burger but our last experience was not good. Restaurant was very warm inside and very busy. Our drinks took about 30 minutes to come out because they were out of bar glasses! I can’t imagine the capitol grille or capitol burger being so low on bar glasses. And then my Stoli Doli came out in a broken martini glass! The server seemed not to care very much. Overall poor experience.

    The abundance of fruit flies are repulsive. This is the 2nd consecutive time this has happened at this location. I will not be returning for a 3rd time.

    The Capital Burger does perfectly what it sets out to do. The burgers are fabulous, big, juicy and delicious. The fried, if you order them are crisp, hot and tasty, the salad options large, crisp and fresh. Prices are reasonable for Boston- 2 dinners with a glass of wine and a beer cost about $70 . The experience upstairs is much better than being on the lower floor with the bar even if you are tucked away on the other side of the stairs. From the 2nd floor you get a view of Newbury street from above and a quieter more intimate experience.
