| - Everything about the Capital Grille was fantastic. Except the food.
The ambiance, the service, the decor, the fine little touches that go along with a high-end restaurant were all exactly what you would expect from the CG, but unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to expectations. I went for lunch and was looking forward to something as spectacular as the rest of the experience, and was horribly disappointed. The clam chowder was average at best, and definitely wasn't anywhere near as good as some I've had at bar/restaurants on the pier in San Fran or Seattle. And although I can't remember the name of the sliced steak dish with the shoestring fries on top, that's a pretty accurate description of the dish itself. The steak itself was horrible, as it had a completely inedible piece running through the center of the entire steak. I ate around it, but seriously, this is not what I expect from a place like the CG. It completely ruined the rest of the experience, and it's doubtful I'll ever go back for another lunch.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Sorry, CG, but it wasn't a good one.
