East Coast steakhouse chain The Capital Grille has come to South Coast Plaza. Walk up the Persian carpeted stairs to reveal a clubby space with leather booths, cut-glass separators, low Victorian-style lighting, classic paintings and a long wooden bar. Classic American steakhouse starters include clam chowder, fresh oysters, French onion soup, shrimp cocktail and spinach salad with warm bacon dressing. Order a few sides (Parmesan truffle fries, lobster macaroni and cheese, creamed spinach, asparagus with hollandaise), and then a massive steak like the flavorful Delmonico, which has a tangy 12-year balsamic glaze. Still hungry? A giant slice of hazelnut chocolate cake feeds the whole table. The wine list features 350 varietals mostly from France, Italy and California.
