Popular since the minute it opened, this steakhouse is packed every night with diners primed to attack these mammoth portions. High-rollers can start with an appetizer portion of beluga caviar served in regal style, but if you're not putting the meal on your expense account, opt for the tender lobster-crab cakes instead, or the wedge salad---a hefty chunk of iceberg crowned with chunky blue cheese dressing and crumbled bacon. While there are some good seafood selections here, like the grilled Norwegian salmon with dill mayonnaise, it's the meat that rules, like the incomparable Prime porterhouse or the veal chop, sizzling with its Roquefort butter sauce. Of the very good side dishes, we especially like the mountain of fried rounds of potatoes topped with fried shredded onions, probably enough for four hungry diners. Cap-off your meal with the creamy homemade cheesecake and check out the list of after-dinner drinks---perhaps the most extensive in town. Capital Grill is also open for lunch and, as expected, serves an excellent burger, but we can't resist the rich lobster salad accompanied by lots of the good raisin-walnut bread.
