The Capital Grille

The Capital Grille Naples is located just outside the Mercato shopping plaza on Rt. 41. This restaurant has a very upscale feel, complete with valet parking and a very masculine interior with dark wood paneling and game trophies. As you enter, there is a bar to the right and several small dining rooms throughout with a larger dining section in the rear/middle. I've visited several times and the smaller rooms are my preferred seating areas. My most recent visit was for lunch - a good time to "capitalize" (pun intended) on some fairly decent pricing. I enjoy their burger - it was cooked to order and the fries are delicious. If you are sensitive to salt, be sure to say so ahead of time - this burger is salty. My wife had the Capital Grille Cobb with Tenderloin, which was great as well. We ordered the Calamari, which was great, but didn't come with any sauces, which is unusual for this dish - we asked for some and they brought out marinara sauce, which was good. The only complaint is that the mains came out too fast behind the appetizer, but the waitress comped us the appetizer and acknowledged the mistake - great service! I'll be back!
