The Capital Grille is a swanky, wonderful steakhouse. I first ate there in McLean, VA and fell in love with their fried calamari. I have tried calamari at McCormick and Schmick's and other restaurants and none compare. They add red peppers to their calamari. Their steaks are also amazingly tender. The portions are very large. I think the dessert is average. I had the cheesecake with strawberries. It was good but probably not better than Cheesecake Factory. The waiter was really nice. I have always found the customer service to be excellent in both NYC and VA. This is a wonderful restaurant. It is a great place to celebrate special occasions. Be sure to make reservations and expect to spend at least $40-$50 per person.

I LOVE Capital Grill - was lucky enough to have a work lunch here with customers, so the fact that it lasted 3 hours was ok! (NOT due to service - there were 8 of us and we ordered a lot of food!) They have one of the best lobster bisques I have ever tasted, raw oysters are perfect, and I wanted a bite of every person's main course, they all looked delicious, and everyone enjoyed their meal. House wines are also excellent, as is the service. Excellent place to take clients or have a small birthday or other gathering of friends for a special occasion.
