The Capital Grille
The Capital Grille is known to be more of an event than a restaurant. Treat yourself to one of over 400 wine selections that have been noted in Wine Spectator Magazine while you wait to be served dry-aged, steaks, pastas, salads, soups and a number of locally harvested fresh seafood choices. Dim lighting highlights, crisp linens and fine glassware and flatware are at this premium destination. The Zagat Survey wrote that The Capital Grille serves "Juicy steaks cooked to perfection" and those hand carved steaks are the main focus here. Popular dishes include filet mignon, salmon served with asparagus and creamed spinach, clam chowder and fresh Maine lobster. A full bar serves a number of top shelf cocktails and private dining areas are available by reservation.
