    I ordered their house burger -- THE Capital Burger. It was good but I think someone who was dealing with truffle touched my burger because there was a slight truffle taste. I hate truffle so I double checked that it was not supposed to have truffle.... Anyway, the truffle was a minor issue because I probably could have asked them to remake it to correct the issue. Everything else was as expected. My daughter really enjoyed the pickles that were brought to our table. She thought it was such a great idea to have free pickles instead of free bread. I agree the pickles were good, light, and refreshing. However, they didn't have many options for her as a vegan joining her non-vegan mom for dinner. Our server was pleasant and the food didn't take forever to arrive. Overall it was a good experience.

    We usually go here every time I come to Boston and it’s normally pretty good. Last night it wasn’t. The lobster bisque came out lukewarm warm. The burger bun was stale and hard. I asked for well done fries and they came out cold and not crispy at all. Top it off with slow service (there were maybe 3 tables, so not busy) and a broken milkshake machine. Next time we’ll just go to Shake Shack. At least it will be consistent.
