I was back in Las Vegas over the weekend selling my house, so dinner with the in-laws was on the agenda as well. My mother in law has been wanting to give this place a go, so even though I live right next to one in Los Angeles, we headed to to The Capital Grille for dinner anyways. I'll be completely honest here, I had little faith in this place and chopped it up as a generic American style restaurant that would be nothing more than fine......well, I was very wrong. From the outside, this place looks very nice as part of the Fashion Show mall and gives you a pretty nice view of the Las Vegas strip. The inside of this place is absolutely beautiful and is filled with old school looking wood and nice looking art. The Capital Grille menu has a solid selection of appetizers, plenty of steaks, seafood, pasta, and plenty of salads, soups, and deserts to fill out any three of four course meal, so here's what I thought of the various things I consumed during my visit.
Caramelized French Onion Soup- The cheese was gooey, the soup was burning hot, and the taste was very, very good.
Double Cut Smoked Bacon with Korean BBQ glaze and pickled shallots- Calling this bacon is cutting it short. This extremely thick, extremely juicy bacon is insanely good. The sauce was incredible, the meat was incredible, and this is a must order.
Parmesan Truffle Fries- I only ate a few of the french fries, but mother of god, these are probably a top five all time fry for me as well, so freaking good.
Lobster Mac N' Cheese- Simply put, this was the best Mac N' Cheese dish I have ever had from a restaurant. The cheese had such a good flavour, the noodles were soft, and the lobster mixed in was absolutely incredible.
Seared Tenderloin- A small, but very good steak. Ordered it medium rare, probably got it Medium but it still had a great flavour looked fantastic as well.
Butter Poached Lobster Tails- Two large, delicious, mouth watering, buttery......okay, I'm drooling just thinking about it. These lobster tails were absolutely delicious.
Overall, The Capital Grille is a perfect restaurant for me. Every single thing I ate was delicious, the staff and service were delightful, friendly, and helpful throughout our visit, and the place itself was beautiful as well. If you are staying on the Las Vegas strip and end up at Fashion Show, this restaurant is going to leave you as full and happy as you could be.
