Dining room at The Capital Grille, Chicago, ILPortraits of important Chicagoans grace the wood-trimmed walls of this masculine, classic steakhouse where dry-aged Prime beef takes center stage. Meals can begin with chilled caviar or flash-fried calamari with hot cherry peppers and garlicky butter, but we’re partial to the filler-light lobster and crab cakes with---the clincher---sweet corn relish on the side. Among entrées, a hands-down winner is the coffee-crusted sirloin with sweet and savory caramelized shallot butter. The grilled swordfish jardinière is a good, equally satisfying alternative blanketed in lemon-butter sauce. Sides are generous; the over-the-top, panko-dusted lobster mac ‘n’ cheese is not to be missed. The notable wine list is extensive with over 400 bottles to choose from.
