SPRING LUNCH AT CAPITAL GRILLE – DELICIOUS!

Capital Grille’s spring lunch menu lists 5 items as “appetizers and soups”, then 8 salads, 3 sandwiches, 7 entrees and a roster of “‘plates” – taken from the full menu.

We sampled a cup of asparagus soup, smooth and tasty with shards of tender asparagus, then New England clam chowder, rich and creamy- both great beginnings.

The lobster roll, lightly toasted, was filled to overflowing with chunks of lobster meat in a house made mayo dressing with egg and tomato therein. We ordered the 2 mini tenderloin sandwiched to medium broil and we were rewarded with a pair of the finest beef sliders, complete with sautéed mushrooms and great taste. A side dish of tender French green beans and another of grilled spring vegetables were full flavored.

The final testing was of shrimp and piquillo peppers – not too spicy but mellow tasting, resting on a cake of crisp Bomba rice – excellent! Capital Grille’s truffle fries are a cut above for rich taste and texture.

While we are able to report on the “plate” category, the full menu includes dishes we have tested in the past with pleasure

These include: pan-fried calamari , with hot cherry peppers, French onion soup, Caesar salad, mozzarella with tomato and basil and aged sirloin steaks!

In addition to homemade grapefruit soda, fresh mint lemonade and iced tea, Capital Grille offers 12 white wines and 15 red wines by the bottle and 11 white plus 13 reds by the glass. Pricing is realistic for this range of fine vintages.

Luncheon is served from 11:30AM to 4PM, Mondays through Fridays at their 280 seat restaurant at 6000 Glades Road in Boca’s Town Center – 368-1077. For an upscale experience – Go and enjoy!
