The Taj Mahal of Steakhouses

There's this restaurant that me and the hubs like to go to occasionally. It's a nice atmosphere, the service is superb, and the food always more than pleases my palette. And their Cosmo will make you wish you never tried it. It may be a pricey cocktail, but it's that good.

This place is only one of the many steakhouses in Kansas City, but in my opinion, it's the best. I haven't even tried many of the other popular spots, but I'm convinced I have found my favorite.

It's also the place we had dinner the night The Better Half proposed and our 1st Anniversary.

Ok, I'll stop gushing over it and get to the point of this post.

The Capital Grille. It never disappoints.

And it didn't today.

I attended a work luncheon/presentation at The Capital Grille today. It was a 50 person luncheon, so I expected a preset menu with minimal options and prepared myself to be disappointed that I couldn't order my go-to dinner only menu dish: The Sliced Fillet.

Well, the sliced fillet wasn't an option on the limited menu, but there was one item that kept calling my name: the Lobster and Crab Burger. I was hesitant because this isn't an item I would typically order.

Wowza! I couldn't be more happy that I branched out of my comfort zone and tried something new*! It's a make your mouth water kind of burger. Yummy.

And my fav appetizer, the Pan Fried Calamari with Hot Cherry Peppers was served. Delish! Super spicy, but I love me some heat! As usual, the Grille impressed me. Even for a somewhat large lunch event, where I most often expect a buffet with a piece of rubbery chicken.

So I love Capital Grille. Try it if you haven't. It's grand.

*I don't typically like seafood. Only Shrimp or calamari. I know, I'm weird. I can't believe I loved this menu item!
