Capital Grille - foodies, what's it like?

[Anonymous]

Excellent martinis. Dry aged beef, which is asker to find than it used to be, but still has a distinctive taste. Good service.

It’s not a foodie restaurant. It’s a corporate expense restaurant. What do you mean by “foodie”? I’d rather go to say roses luxury and get some small plates.

I mean, it's okay. I agree their martinis are really good and their steaks. Nothing THAT amazing imo

You can probably make a better drink and better steak if you have any talent in the kitchen.

Foodies don’t necessarily go to or even like Michelin restaurants…. It is more about finding the “perfect” food (street food, market, hole in the wall, etc.)
Think Anthony Bourdain!

Pretty typically of any steakhouse. Sides are heavy with salt and fats(cream, butter, etc).

Anthony Bourdain would have nothing but disdain for the Capital Grille. Unimaginative, overpriced, bland, corporate mediocrity. The only steakhouse I ever heard him say anything good about was Peter Luger and even that was just appreciating the history and tradition, of which the Capital Grille has none.

Anthony Bourdain is not the end all be all of chow, just a curios guy who did well presenting his “take” on things. Explore and define your own taste.
