As an example of how busy my week has been, I ate lunch twice on Wednesday. Took leftover Brothers pizza slice that I had at noon. Two hours later I was thinking I needed to get lunch before everything closed. Went to Starbucks for artisan veggie sandwich and a latte. Wasn't until around 6 when I was discussing lunch with Hubs that I figured it out. Sigh.
Thursday had work lunch at Capitol Grille. Downtown. Never been before. Lunch ambience was totally lame. Huge dining room that is very cluby looking with black and white leather. No one was there. Maybe two other tables besides mine. I ordered soup and sandwich combo with tomato soup and the Frenchman sandwich. The description on the sandwich sounded kind of disgusting which naturally made me want to try it Something about chicken and sautéed onion with goat cheese and dijonaise. I don't remember what else. Also let me say I probably eat a chicken sandwich maybe once a year. I don't like them as a rule.
Oh. My. God. I would never want to eat there in person again but I may have to find out if Capitol Grille does takeout. Holy smokes that was a good sandwich. Chicken was moist and juicy. Flavors wee good. Bread was fresh and toasted and buttery to perfection. I was totally shocked at how good this sandwich was. Soup on the other hand was not so great. I ate a few bites and left it. It tasted like someone had soaked some smoking chips in it overnight. It had a weird kind of smokey chili undertone that was just not working for it. Like at all. Server did not say anything about all the soup I didn't eat. We all know that is a big pet peeve of mine.
No dessert. Had to get back for a meeting. So actual Capitol grille I will give zero to. The Frenchman sandwich gets a 4. I only recommend the sandwich. Nothing else about Capitol Grille.
