The Capital Grille

My fellow foodies,
I am sorry for keeping you waiting- I've been eating at wonderful restaurants I can review for you all! So without further ado, the theme of the week is.... Steakhouses!!!! As a meat and potatoes girl, I am excited to share some places with you! Today I will be reviewing the Capital Grille, one of the "it" steakhouses. To start out, the steak carpaccio is the thinly sliced raw meat that melts in your mouth with a sauce that makes you want to lick the plate. The smoked salmon appetizer was above average, but nothing special (except for the crunchy, zesty pita chips on the side. I always get the filet mignon, which never seems to need salt and is always cooked perfectly. For side dishes, I had the truffle fries, au gratin potatoes, and the creamed spinach. Three words for three AMAZING sides- mmmm, mmmm, mmmm! The fries have that nice truffle taste while still staying crunchy and a bit salty. The au gratin potatoes was so good, giving me thick slices and keeping the creamy, cheesy, yummy taste. Last but definitely not least, the creamed spinach. I have been dreaming of that creamy taste and great texture every night since I ate it. The Capital Grille is a great place to eat high end steak and sides. Yumm-y!
