Capital Grille
The atmosphere is nice. It's upscale and interesting. There are many Pittsburgh themed portraits on the walls. It's nice when you can see the kitchen cooking your food, too.
I pointed out that my meal had to be gluten free to the waiter. After ordering, they brought out bread & crackers. I didn't mind so much, but I guess I've been a bit spoiled with other restaurants bringing out gluten free options before my meal. No big deal.
It was a gigantic cut of meat. Actually, it was the biggest sirloin I'd even seen. It could have been done a little rarer, but wasn't too over done. The sauce was delicious. The truffle crust was very strong. It was worth the risk.
I didn't order any sides. I just don't care for the group shared sides that are over priced. Anyways, there was nothing gluten free on the menu that really spoke to me. If they would have had something unique, I would have given it a try, but there was nothing in the side department to write home about so I skipped it.
The price point here was $$$$. Pretty pricey. But they focused on service, keeping your water glass full at all times & having a few extra waiters bustling around you to make you feel like you are getting a lot of attention.
They did have a nice touch at the end of the meal. They brought out 2 free gluten free desserts - berries and cream and a coffee dusted flourless chocolate cake. I love berries and cream! The flourless cake was delicious, too, but I don't like coffee, so I couldn't eat much of it.
It was a nice touch to end the meal.
