DRY AGED STEAKS,

FRESH SEAFOOD
"Not only is the menu beefy, but the portions
are gigantic...these steaks, with some bite to
them, have a full meaty flavor... the wine list is
enough to keep you entertained for many visits."

The Washington Post
"The national reputation
of The Capital Grille has
crowds beating
down the doors."
"Best of Award of Excellence"
"The Capital Grille is the
place to see and be seen."

and desserts, this has become a full-
fledged restaurant with under 30 seats.
It serves gourmet-style food at reason-
able prices. Owners Marvin Bernstein
and wife/executive chef Lina Bernstein
also roast their own coffees and have
added new features from 40 French
syrups to an extensive line of teas,
Parisian vinegars, oils, honeys, preserves
and mustards. Although a complete
restaurant now, French Gourmet is still
a classic authentic French pastry shop
and bakery, with excellent special oc-
casion and wedding cakes. If going for
dinner, take a tip and make a reserva-
tion. Remember, seating capacity is
small.
