OK, so I have wanted to go to a Capital Grille for a while. Wife and I went tonight. Here is the review.
Capital Grille is the ONLY restaurant in its portfolio that Darden has not destroyed (yet). I am positive, that in time, they will, they just have not got around to it (yet.). CG was pretty good. I really enjoyed the Kona Coffee crusted steak and the lobster mac and cheese. The crab and lobster cakes were great. I also enjoyed the shrimp cocktail and sauce. The décor is faux stately which I do not like...but would if it were genuine. I guess that is the Darden touch....see it is already starting and it has only been a few years since Darden acquired it.
