The Capital Grille

I've had a few so-so experiences here for the prices that they are charging. We've had to send things back multiple times because they weren't cooked properly.... the wine list is extensive, and expensive.  If you're staying at the Intercontinental right next door, this is a reasonable option for a business dinner.  It's convenient.  For these prices, the downtown steakhouses have a lot more to offer, with better service as well.

Just went to the Capital Grille for Mother's Day Brunch.  I take back what I said about this not being my favorite steakhouse...it's now my favorite steakhouse AND my favorite brunch place!  Can you say AH-MAZE-ING???  Kona crusted tenderloin, citrus glazed salmon, lobster eggs benedict, chocolate covered strawberries, creme brulee, flourless chocolate cake, etc.  The list goes on and on!  And everything was SPOT ON.  So delicious!!!  We bumped into Aaron M. (although he was not our waiter this time) and he greeted us with a welcome back.  We had Giovanni this time and he wasn't as interactive as Aaron, but still very attentive.  He even changed out our utensils after our many plates of food.  Everything was just perfect.

Outstanding experience.  Alex the bartender/server was wonderful!  He was a pure joy.  Had the Shellfish Platter which was superb.  Snacked on the Fillet Oscar, Lobster Mac n Cheese, and the Calamari.  What's not to like?  Toss in a couple of Stoli Dolis and Chocolate Martinis and you are talking pure heaven!  Well done Alex...
