Dining room at The Capital Grille, Houston, TXThe Capital Grille was one of the first to hitch up to today's steakhouse scene. The Washingtonian clubby atmosphere is ostentatiously upscale, with chairs covered in leather and velvet, a dramatic copper bar, an open kitchen and glass-enclosed meat locker. Returning to the basics of steakhouse presentation, The Capital Grille offers just a few select cuts and cooks them simply---but properly. Choices include dry-aged sirloin, porterhouse and filet mignon. The Grille's Delmonico steak is a favorite, as is its signature veal chop with Roquefort butter sauce. The dressed-up steak au poivre comes with a Cognac cream sauce. We also recommend seafood dishes like the grilled swordfish with lemon herb butter and the grilled Norwegian salmon with dill mayonnaise. Among the sides, go for Sam's smashed potatoes, classic Lyonnaise potatoes or asparagus with hollandaise. For dessert, try the ethereal white chocolate mousse or the flourless chocolate-espresso cake.
