Capital Grille

Frommer's Review

This place reeks of power. Seated among wine cellars filled with high-end classics, the dark wood paneling, pristine white tablecloths, chandeliers, and marble floors all contribute to the clubby atmosphere. For an appetizer, start with the lobster and crab cakes. If you're not in the mood for beef or lobster, try the pan-seared red snapper and asparagus covered with Hollandaise. The wine cellars you're surrounded by are filled with about 5,000 bottles of wine -- too extensive and rare to list. While some people prefer the more stalwart style and service of Morton's up the block , others find Capital to be a bit livelier. The food's pretty much the same between the two, though I find the steaks at Morton's to be a notch better; however, the atmosphere at the Capital Grille is much more inviting. Complimentary valet parking here as opposed to Morton's, which charges a fee, is another reason to visit this carnivorous capital.
