Hungry for More? The Hynes Will Tempt You with a Savory Addition!
The Hynes Convention Center welcomed its second restaurant last fall when The Capital Grille opened on Boylston Street. The restaurant moved from Newbury Street to its new site, which is nearly double the size of the old location.
“The Capital Grille is an icon of the Boston restaurant scene, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome it to the Hynes,” said James E. Rooney, executive director of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority. The Capital Grille is a fine-dining restaurant known for its dry-aged, hand-carved beef selections, fresh seafood, award-winning collection of 350 wines, and professional service. Waiters in tan jackets, bow ties, and white bistro aprons warmly welcome you and expertly anticipate your every need.
The décor is upscale and elegant using mahogany, brass, and dark reds and greens giving the space both a romantic and masculine vibe. The main dining room features paintings of hunting parties and beautiful Art Deco light fixtures.
Routinely recognized by Wine Spectator Magazine, the restaurant also recently received the America Culinary Federation’s “Achievement of Excellence Award” and was a guest favorite on Open Table’s “2010 Best American Cuisine Winners – Top 50 Restaurant List.”
The Capital Grille introduced a “Plates” menu from which you pick a soup or salad, a sandwich and a side for $18, including items like porcini bisque, mini tenderloin sandwiches, and truffle fries. This is a great option for convention attendees looking to enjoy their lunch in an upscale and sophisticated atmosphere without breaking the bank. They also have a well priced mid-day wine list if you are in the mood for it!
Features include patio seating, five private dining rooms, and a more spacious bar and lounge. For private functions, the restaurant can accommodate up to 60 people for a sit-down dinner and up to 80 people for a cocktail reception.
The Hynes has two restaurant spaces on Boylston Street, one on each corner of the building. The Capital Grille shares this prime location with the trendy Towne, Stove and Spirits restaurant, which opened in 2010. In addition, Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood offers numerous restaurants with a variety of cuisines and private function rooms to support your event.
