Capitol Grille

The best steaks around, without a doubt, Capital Grille, their menu consists of high quality beef. Capitol Grille is one of few restaurants in the country that serves dry aged beef and dry ages the beef themselves. Between this 14-21 day process the beef becomes more tender and more favorable. By doing so, Capitol Grill has control over the meat from the time they purchase it to the time they served it. Which is why I highly recommend this restaurant. Besides the fact they serve my all time favorite, Lobster Mac N Cheese, you can top any dish off with fresh lobster or crab. They hold a strong reputation for not only high quality food but also high quality service. I have been to three different Capitol Grilles have always had a great experience.

 My most recent meal was in Philadelphia.

I usually always start out big, especially at Capital Grille. They are known for their fresh selection of seafood. I always have the worst time deciding whether I want crab cakes, the raw bar (consisting of raw clams and oysters) or their famous lobster bisque. So to make things easier on myself, I get all three, by choosing the Seafood Tower.

Every now and then I get a salad, this time I chose the Wedge with Blue Cheese and Applewood Smoked Bacon. It was perfect, my favorite part was the bacon.

 Sometimes I can't help myself and squeeze in a soup , how could I not.

And as for the grand finale, below you see the Filet Oscar, served with lump crabmeat and drizzled with Capitol Grille's house-made Béarnaise. This steak was so tender and juicy, I was completely satisfied.

I paired my main dish with my favorite, gooey Lobster Mac N Cheese and more Asparagus, cooked to perfection.

 

 

 

And in case you are wondering your answer is No, I did not eat this entire meal by myself, lol. Below is my sister's entre of choice, her favorite is the Filet Mignon topped with Lobster.

Capitol Grill is amazing, but I will be honest with you, it is quite pricey, but to me it is worth every penny. Between the dinning experience (the staff makes you feel like royalty) and consistency of fresh, delicious, artfully crafted food, you can not go wrong with Capitol Grille. I would also recommend Ruth Chris and Fogo De Choa a Brazilian Steak House, both are located in Philadelphia.
