This is a good suggestion. Ray's is just as good, less expensive and WAY less stuffy.

I can't tell any difference.

Lunch is way cheaper. The reality is that Capital Grille and M&S are very different. I took my son to Capital Grille for dinner recently and was a little shocked by the pricing, but he felt very special. I go for lunch quite a bit so I didn't know the jump between dinner and lunch was so much.

OP would you consider lunch? At my Cap Grille they have lunch specials/'lunch plates' for $18 which include soup or salad and an entree. Granted, it's not a huge steak but anyway FYI. I am not in DC so don't know if the DC one does that...but lunch is much less expensive than dinner there and here,lunch menu is 11 or 1130 til 3pm.

Speak to the resteraunt and they may be able to offer you a private dining experience with a fixed menu and fixed PP cost. We have done this over the years at many places around town.

One thing you don't get at M&S though is dry aged steaks which Capital Grille does have. There is a difference. Steak houses actually lose money on their steaks and try to make it up through liquor and sides. If you really want a deal, go eat a steak only with iced tea and you've just gotten a steak cooked at cost. If you look at Smith and Wollensky's steak order section for uncooked steaks, the costs are pretty close to what you pay in the restaurant.

Yikes! We're going to head to McCormick & Schmick's instead--more affordable options and a more extensive menu.

Thanks for the help!

Steaks are $40-$60
Sides are $10
Desserts are $10ish
Appetizers are $10-$$$ (seafood tower, market price)
Salads $8-12
Cocktails- $10ish
Wine, well, you know how that goes. As expensive as you can go, it goes. Or you can do a $9 glass.

Altogether I think you should plan on more like $80-$90 a person if you're factoring in drinks and someone will want a salad with dinner and usually everyone wants a dessert.

I eat there fairly often for work/social events. I would count on $100/pp if each people either has a cocktail (I would guess $12-15 per drink), and either an appetizer or dessert. Don't forget the 10% tax in DC. That can add up quickly.

Haven't been in a while, but steaks at most steakhouses are around $40-$50 for the steak and $10 for sides big enough for sharing. So the $60 is probably accurate without tip and maybe one drink.

DH hosts dinners for 10 there often. It's usually 10 grown men who like to drink and they order a few bottles of wine with dinner. Last time he commented that dinner was around 1200 without tip.

I'm thinking it was around $80 per person for our family of 4. Including just two drinks and two shared deserts. I'm a good tipper though.

For the life of me, I can't find menu prices anywhere online. I've read that the average price is $62/person, but my family members vary widely in terms of how much they'll order & whether or not they'll have cocktails, etc.

Can anyone tell me the price of a steak? A side dish? A soup? A salad? A cocktail? A dessert?

Thanks for any help!



It's going to be more than $62/person unless you do an entree only plus maybe a side.
