More information on Capital Grille

Portraits of Minnesota's well-known politicians and personalized wine lockers of the city's power brokers and local celebrities clue you in to the clientele here. The clubby atmosphere combined with superb service makes for a dining experience you will not soon forget. The menu is a la carte and the portions are huge. Start with the cold shellfish platter, a gleaming silver tower of cold baby lobster, Littleneck clams and fresh oysters. The steaks are proudly displayed in a refrigerator case where they are dry-aged to perfection. The 24-ounce porterhouse, 20-ounce New York strip and the lighter sirloin or filet mignon will satisfy any appetite. If seafood is what you are craving, the 2-pound lobster, salmon filet or blackened tuna steak should suffice. Large baked potatoes, creamed spinach or asparagus in Hollandaise sauce are fine accompaniments. Chocolate cake, cheesecake or Creme Brulee will bring things to a fine end. More than 300 bottles of wine and an impressive selection of beers are offered.
