| - Most Yelp events are pretty casual laid-back affairs, but this one was a bit of a departure from the norm. Then again, Capital Grill isn't exactly a laid-back casual kind of place. They do classy, they do it well, and they were at the top of their game for this event.
While I really try to like wine, I'm super picky and my tastes lean towards the very sweet. Even so, I had a great time trying out these different wines. The riesling was my favorite of the night, but my favorite pairing was the scallop risotto with the chardonnay. They really did compliment each other well and I'm pretty sure I could eat a whole plate of the risotto. Of course, with the red wine course came red meat, and lots of it. Waygu carpaccio seasoned with anice that had me almost licking my plate. The dry aged sirloin and chimichurri sauce pretty well convinced me to come back and try their lunch plates, and the filet was awesome. I got the sense that a few of the people at our table didn't like all of the rare/raw meat, but it was totally fine with me.
The atmosphere and service were top notch, and we had a great time at this event. Thanks Capital grill!
