We enjoyed our dinner at The Capital Grille as usual. It has not disappointed over several decades. We were only somewhat disappointed to see that a large percentage of the guests were very casually dressed. It reduces the feeling of being in a special place when you can't tell the difference between Clyde's or the Capital Grille. It is just a reality of our culture.

The third recent meal at Black Bar & Kitchen, and this one also was excellent. My big, juicy burger nailed it - great meat, cooked perfectly (medium rare), fresh onion slice and crispy fries! My wife’s Branzino was well-seasoned and very fresh and tasty. We love the bar and high top table area - more fun than the dining room for couples. Wine’s were pricey- $17-$20 / glass - except for the delightful Malbec - just $9! I had two glasses at that price. Black’s keeps us coming Back!

Delicious food! We asked for a quiet part of the restaurant, and the hostess seated us in their back room. For most of the meal, we had that space all to ourselves and we were able to enjoy the food, the drinks, and the conversation. That made a perfect evening!
