10Best Says

Hidden in the lower level of the gorgeous Hermitage Hotel, this is one of the best dining rooms in the city, and has been for decades. Capitol Grille takes that whole farm-to-fork thing to whole new level. The restaurant runs Double H Farms, about four miles from downtown. And, the farm has its own herd of Red Poll cattle. Yes, the restaurant has its own cows! These are some seriously sustainable steaks. Most of the vegetables that accompany those steaks are from the chef's garden. So, even though the restaurant is in a hotel, it does not cater just to tourists. In fact, this is one of the most popular spots for locals in the city. You're sure to see power brokers and music stars rubbing elbows. The service is worthy of the folks who dine here.
