Lobster Mac ‘N Cheese.

We recently attended Capital Grille’s Generous Pour, where through September 2nd you (for $25 in addition to the price of your meal) get to enjoy as many of nine specially chosen wines as you’d like. We covered this event last year as well. This year’s wine list is available here. The wines were excellent, with Conn Creek,  Anthology 2007, Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley being my favorite.

Our waiter, Cliff did a great job of suggesting the wines we should try. He also anticipated our needs and went above and beyond to help us have a great experience. This included stearing “S” to a salmon dish that she really enjoyed, the Citrus Salmon.

Salmon With Citrus Glaze, Green Beans, & Asparagus.

Let’s talk about the food.

The Lobster Mac ‘N Cheese was better than the version I had last summer, since this time, the lobster was more tender; the pasta choice wasn’t actually “mac” but was a good pasta choice with great texture that went well with the very creamy cheese sauce. The Pan Fried Calimari was excellent and was served with vine ripe tomatoes and hot peppers. The Bone-In Kona Crusted Dry Aged Sirloin was huge and one of the best steaks I’ve had recently (Sorry Ray’s), although next time I might ask for the  shallot butter sauce on the side. The Prosciutto wrapped mozzarella was sautéed crispy and tasty. The flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake was dense, and while it was quite good, the Cheese Cake With Seasonal Berries was light, delicious, and the standout dessert of the two.  This was a great meal.
