The Capital Grille Restaurant Review: Alcoves circle the main dining room in this handsome restaurant offering several choices of ambience. Massive portions are served with dazzling views of the Strip, in private rooms, in the bustling lounge and at the lively bar. Dark woods and soft lighting enhance the mood, and wine storage lockers are available for aficionados. For starters, savory lobster and crab cakes with sweet corn relish and the smoked salmon are a nice taste of the carefully crafted seafood offerings. Among lunch sandwiches are the rib-eye with caramelized onions and Havarti cheese, the lobster and crab burger and the Grille's signature cheeseburger, which blends chopped sirloin, bacon and onion. The broiled fresh lobsters and the veal chop with Roquefort butter are winners; among dry-aged steaks are a porcini-rubbed Delmonico topped with a drizzle of 12-year-old balsamic and steak au poivre with Courvoisier cream sauce. Equally hearty side dishes include truffle fries and creamy spinach. Among sweet finales are white chocolate mousse with strawberries and flourless chocolate-espresso cake with Melba sauce. The wine list is extensive, and the Stoli Doli signature martini (so named for the Dole pineapple infused in the vodka for at least ten days) is dangerously tasty.
