The Capital Grille in Salem is exceptional from start to finish. The steaks are perfectly cooked, the sides are full of rich flavor, and the atmosphere is upscale yet comfortable. Our server, John Motto, was outstanding—one of the best we’ve ever had. When one of our steaks came out overcooked, he immediately took care of it with professionalism and zero hesitation. He had a new one out quickly, took the steak off the bill, and even offered us a dessert to make sure everything was perfect. His attention to detail and genuine care made the entire experience memorable. Highly recommend!

From the food, to the drinks, to the service- everything was spectacular. We celebrated my parent’s 40th wedding anniversary- and the service was truly outstanding. The manager ,Matt , was extremely attentive and helpful in making my parent’s night so special. We had our own room, and the staff made us feel like royalty. Our server , Anthony, went above and beyond to be sure our dining experience was unforgettable. I cannot say enough about the food and the restaurant staff. My filet with lobster was one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. We will be back! Thank you to all who made the night so very memorable.

My husband and I went to The Capital Grille in the Tuscan Village in Salem NH on Wednesday 7/9/25 for our anniversary. As soon at the hostess took our name for our reservation, she wished us a Happy Anniversary and then said she would just be a moment to be sure our table was ready. We were escorted to our table quickly and were extremely surprised and delighted to see a Happy Anniversary card and heart shaped confetti on our table, we were then served complimentary champagne. This was above and beyond our expectations! Our server Derek came over promptly and wished us a happy anniversary and took our drink order. We both had the Doli martini, and it was delicious. The service was nothing short of perfection! Matt, the manager of the evening came over to wish us a happy anniversary and toif there was anything we needed. Our server Derek was friendly, engaging and attentive. He was meticulous in the clearing of our table the second we were done with a plate or drink without being intrusive to our dining experience. We started with a lobster and crab cake with lemon basil aioli that was amazing. We then both ordered Seared Tenderloin with butter poached lobster tails with a side of the best mashed potatoes I have ever eaten! The tenderloin was cooked to perfection and the lobster tails melted in our mouths and were so tender and delicious! David, a managing partner, came by to make sure our dinner was cooked to our satisfaction. When our meals were done, we were presented with warm towels to wash our hands with before dessert. We were presented with a complimentary dessert of the capital grille cheesecake & the flourless chocolate espresso cake and the plate had Happy Anniversary stenciled on in espresso power. We also ordered the Coconut cream pie which was decadent. The presentation and care taken by the staff blew me away. I have never had such an amazing dining experience! We will definitely be returning!

What an excellent dining experience. From the moment we walked in they were all very friendly and very professional. They were expecting us and knew it was my wife’s birthday. The table was ready and set up with birthday confetti. Nice touch. Angelica was an incredible server. She knew the menu and even made a great recommendation on wine. Everything was timed perfectly to come out. The food was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. We highly recommend The capital grill in Salem Nh and ask for Angelica.

We came here for my wife’s birthday and the staff and service were amazing. They were kind and even put a card at our table before we arrived. Our server was knowledgeable about the food and wine. We have dined at many Boston steakhouses and we are so happy the Capital Grille opened this location. Service was top notch all around, like we were in the city. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The food was very good, mushrooms could have used a little bit more seasoning, but still tasty. A great experience all around.

Melissa is the absolute best waitress we’ve ever had. We dine out at least twice a week and we’ve never had anyone treat us with so much care and attention to detail! She’s absolutely amazing. She was certainly an experience! She made our pre-anniversary dinner the most special anniversary dinner we’ve had in 3 years
