January tends to be a quiet month in the restaurant industry. I consider it my duty to patronize the eateries we enjoy while they are on the quiet side and so that I feel I’ve helped the businesses and servers during what can be a stressful pause in business.
Even though we indulged in lots of foodstuffs over the past month we have an early January Birthday in our house so a nice dinner out follows the entire month of the eating frenzy. One thing not on this holiday season’s menu was steak. In the interest of balancing out the diet, having a celebratory meal and keeping it relaxed and leisurely we headed out to Capital Grille.
To my surprise – Capital Grille has a special gluten-free menu with a fair number of options available in all categories. This seasons g-f menu featured 1 soup – Clam Chowder, 2 salads, 2 appetizers, and a range of entrees.
Meals are a bit pricey at Capital Grille so I wanted to choose mine carefully. The Surf n Turf option with 2 filets about 2 – 3 ounces each, 2 Langostino lobsters also about 2 – 3 ounces each was a perfect pairing. All menu items are ala carte so we added a salads, au gratin potatoes, and sauteed spinach to round out the meal.
It is possible that this meal was one of the best meals I’ve had in a restaurant! The steaks were cooked to perfection as were the potatoes and the spinach. Salads were super fresh, chilled and well dressed. The service was impeccable. They noted our names when we arrived and that we were celebrating. Our server addressed us by name throughout the meal and presented a lovely dessert platter following our meal with a flourless chocolate tart for (g-f me) and a cheesecake tartlet (not g-f) for my husband.
For a celebration the Capital Grille is a really great option and there are locations all over the country, including two in Ohio, locally at Legacy Village and also in Cincinnati.
Had a delicious gluten free dinner. The server was knowledgeable. Be sure to make a reservation as it was crowded on a Saturday night.
Had an enjoyable lunch here. The gluten free lunch menu had multiple options.
Echo the above. Lovely experience recently. Server well versed in gluten free and checked with the kitchen about the mushroom side dish. GF!
