Restaurant Week Stop #2

(Outside Capital Grille)

During restaurant week they have a great deal at participating restaurants since lunch is only 20 dollars for 3 courses. My friends and I decided to check out The Capital Grille. The menu online looked like a good deal for the price you pay. The Capital Grille is portrayed as a steak house with seafood included.

(Caesar Salad)

(Lobster & Crab Burger)

When you order for restaurant week you have to order all 3 courses when you first place your order. The first course I ordered was a Caesar Salad. The second course I ordered was the lobster & crab burger with homemade tartar sauce and French fries. The third course I ordered was the Chocolate Espresso Cake.  The portions for the restaurant were so big for lunch time but they were so filling and good.  The Caesar salad was a classically made Caesar with hearts of romaine lettuce, house-made Caesar dressing, baked croutons, and a lot of parmesan reggiano cheese. They offer fresh cracked black pepper on top of your salad.  The second course I got was a lobster & crab burger which was packed with fresh lobster and crab meat just gently toasted in mayonnaise. It was served on a nicely toasted Brioche bun. The buttery bun helped the taste of the lobster and crab salad. The sandwich was packed high with the lobster and crab salad.

(Chocolate Espresso Cake)

The third course I got was the Chocolate Espresso Cake. The cake was a flourless cake that tasted like fudge when you were eating it. It was sooo smooth and tasted just like espresso. They served a very generous size portion for lunch.  It was served fresh raspberries, raspberry sauce, and whipped cream.  They had a good deal for a cocktail that was just only 8 dollars. The cocktail I got was Baked Apple Pie Martini with a cinnamon sugar rim. It was a huge sized martini. The cinnamon sugar added a nice sweetness and crunch to the drink. It was made with Apple pucker. I liked it a lot because it definitely tasted like a baked apple pie. It went down nice and smooth. The service was great and it felt like we were dining a 4 star restaurant. They even used a crumber on the table in between courses.
