| Good luck getting a table at The Capital Grille if there’s a convention in town. The place is packed most nights, with reservations secured weeks in advance. And for good reason: it’s some of the finest dining on bustling International Drive, better known for fast-casual restaurants where families fill up. But this is an oasis of gentility, with dark mahogany wood, white linens, plush leather booths and wine lockers for locals to stash their best wines (with more than 4,000 bottles in the Grille’s cellar). The food is classic steakhouse fare, from the wedge of iceberg topped with blue cheese to a 24-ounce porterhouse. The bone-in dry-aged sirloin is crusted in Kona coffee for a smoky flavor and served with caramelized shallot butter. If you prefer seafood, go for a meaty grilled swordfish with lemon-shallot relish. Whatever you order, ask for a side of crisp truffled fries with Parmesan and kosher salt. Lush Wagyu beef carpaccio and butter-poached lobster are also offered. There is no children’s menu, but the kitchen has a few pint-size offerings, such as petite steaks and mac ‘n’ cheese, if there are little ones in your company. Even if you’re not on an expense account, phone ahead, save up and get ready for an upscale night on the town. |
