"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."
Phyllis C. Richman
The Washington Post

of The Capital Grille has
crowds beating
down the doors."
"The Capital Grille is the
place to see and be seen."
"Great steak, fancy bar, swank
