| - I came to Capital Grille for a private party, and it was a delightful time. I am really glad I wasn't the one paying for the party, as the prices seem steep. As it was a party, I sampled a lot of foods. But I didn't eat a full meal. I'm guessing everything we ate was catered so I'm not sure what all is on the regular menu. Overall, everything was great.
Before the food, the ambiance was quite nice. There is a main dining area, and there is also a private room toward the back. The restaurant was set up very nicely, and I would definitely come back here for a nice evening. I didn't realize it was a Darden Chain, but this is ten steps above Olive Garden and Red Lobster.
Favorite Food Sampled:
Risotto Fritters: I loved these FAR too much. It's grown up deep fried mac and cheese, and it made me so happy. Perfect in the cold weather. It's creamy and cheesey and warm. SO DELICIOUS. I may have eaten ten (or twelve).
Other things I sampled: Two glasses of wine (OK. More than a sample there.), fresh tomato and mozzarella crostini, proscuitto, smoked Norwegian Salmon on onion pita crisps, cheese platter, and grilled vegetables. Everything was delicious. No complaints.
Ok. I don't get the massive picture of Mr. Rogers at all. In a place that is supposed to be "classy," it was just weird. It was like Mr. Rogers was watching me eat. I mean, local flavor is cool. But this was just pushing it.
