trappings-everything
a steak house should be."

crowds beating
down the doors."
"The Capital Grille is the
place to see and be seen." •
The New York Times
"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."
