Welcome to Capital City Chop House! For decades, the Chop House has obsessed over one thing: quality. We start with the best steaks, seafood and chops we can find, cook them exactly to your liking, then inspect every plate twice before serving you. At every turn, we pay special attention to the details. It’s these little details that all melt together to make a truly extraordinary meal. We believe premium ingredients are only as good as the chefs who prepare and cook them. We also believe a legendary menu falls flat without legendary service to serve it up. So whether it’s a business lunch, happy hour or date night, join us for a bona fide meal made the right way — all in an atmosphere where you can relax and be yourself.Capital City Chop House sits right outside of Raleigh, making it easily accessible from most places in the Triangle. It’s within striking distance of Research Triangle Park, and is just a stone’s throw from RDU Airport.

    This place is a real treat. It is expensive but it is a real food experience and not just a meal. Incredible food. We had 4 courses, and then they bring a little something between or before all courses, such as little breads, a pre-dessert, they even brought these little 'corn dogs' that were actually duck, and presented so that they looked like the plant called cat-tails. It is not cheap, but it is an experience that you will like talk about and remember for a long time.

    My family went to Colletta tonight to celebrate my daughter turning “18”. I made the reservations and let the restaurant know and our preference of table. We got there and was a perfect corner spot with a wonderful view of the courtyard. A wonderful gift was waiting for her. We were all so surprised at the attention to detail with all the surprises. We started with the Focaccia, and We all had the chicken parmesan. Fantastic choices!! Wonderful taste and a hearty plenty. They brought the cake out and the server even offered to sing alone. lol We didn’t make her do that. It was a wonderful night and Kynlee felt so special. Thank you Colletta for an awesome experience for us.

    As always, the service that staff provide is above and beyond. I love to bring colleagues from abroad to experience this high quality, upscale spin on southern food. It really sets a high bar! Of course, we came in like a storm and too many people followed us from the office, and the staff (especially Olivia W) handled it with grace, kindness, and humor. The food is ALWAYS amazing. The presentation of the plates, the quality of ingredients, and the environment just make for an overall wonderful experience. I cannot recommend enough!

    Excellent experience at Rey’s for my birthday. Service was excellent and the food was very good. The French Onion Soup was the best I have ever had.
