At The Capital Grille you'll find superb food in a dramatic dining room where you can sink into a burnished leather chair, order a Manhattan and interact with the powerful Washington elite.

202-293-9091 | | | | | Description: DUPONT CIRCLE. For a classic fine dining experience in our nation's capital, you can't beat The Palm. While there, you're likely to see scurrying Secret Service agents and legislators recognizable from C-SPAN, and regulars have been caricatured on the walls for decades. USDA Prime steaks are justifiably famous, jumbo Nova Scotia lobsters are delicious, and Italian dishes reflect the restaurant's heritage. Delectable sides include cottage fries, creamed spinach and fried onions. The casual yet refined atmosphere and outstanding service accommodate a relaxed meal or a business meeting with equal aplomb.
