First visit to Capital Grille to celebrate our anniversary. We had a reservation and they had decorated the table in honor of our occasion. Service was excellent in spite of our main waiter also serving a large party nearby at the same time.
Our meals were so-so - enjoyed crispy bacon on the spinach salad & wedge salad had same bacon (we could have easily shared 1 salad based on large portion size), porterhouse steak was unfortunately overcooked, taste was good but not great (as you might expect great based on price), citrus glazed salmon was ok although too much glaze swimming on the plate for my taste. The side items were the highlights for us - the au gratin potatoes (AMAZING!) and the brown bread from the bread basket. Our dinner with 2 salads, 2 entrees, 1 side, soda & 1 glass of wine came to $136. No room for dessert but the waiter insisted on us taking home something so he brought out a flourless chocolate cake to go (complimentary for our celebration?). We ate that tonite and it was very good even 1 day later.
There are probably a dozen other places to go for a good steak at similiar prices. This was a splurge and not something we do often. Captial Grille didn't knock my socks off but then neither has many of the other comparable places we've tried. I'm glad to have had this experience but don't expect to be back anytime soon.
