Editorial Review for The Capital Grille – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Everything here exudes a quiet dignity, from the portraits of prominent Chicagoans on the high walls to the attentive yet unobtrusive service. The classic steakhouse menu starts with flash-fried calamari and Beluga caviar, then moves on to the main event: Dry-aged steaks, charbroiled with butter and fresh garlic, then sliced and served up with a la carte sides of potatoes and vegetables. Desserts include standards like Key lime pie, cheesecake and creme brulee.

Having had a wonderful time at the sister resaurant in Dallas, my wife and I decided to entertain some old friends while at a meeting in Chicago recently. True to form, the service was impeccable, the food perfect, the wine list superb and the overall experience simply great. Being somewhat of a harsh critic, every potential area of weakness was examined as we discussed our dining experience that evening. I don't know how they do it, but I am looking forward to my next trip to a city with this standout restaurant group. Simply marvelous.
Pros: remarkable food and wine dining experience
Cons: somewhat expensive

We dropped into Chicago at the last minute for New Year's Eve (ie we didn't make reservations). The hostess, Erin, immediately gave us napkins to dry ourselves from walking in the snow. Despite the crowded dining room due to the holiday, we were able to relax in the bar until Erin and her staff found a table for us in the state room (less than an hour wait!) At first we took it as a sign that the food wouldn't be great, but that was a wrong assumption. My sweetheart had the Filet Oscar and I had the tenderloin with lobster--both were perfection! The decor has a feel similar to classic US government buildings (hence the name) and the main dining room is not what I'd call romantic. However, the state room had a very intimate feel--if you're looking for something more of that nature, I would certainly ask.
Pros: friendly staff, superb food, both filtered and FIJI water available
