Some of the chef's recommendations, for example, range from their twist on the classic filet mignon -- sliced filet with Cipollini onions, wild mushrooms, and fig essence -- to a porcini-rubbed bone-in ribeye with 15-year aged balsamic. There's also seared tenderloin with butter-poached lobster tails for the surf-and-turf enthusiasts.
Those looking for non-meat choices at Capital Grille may select from seared citrus glazed salmon, pan-seared sea bass, and lobster mac and cheese.
