All the ingredients are here: luxuriant leather booths, dark mahogany wood paneling, thick steaks dry-aged on the premises, seafood flown in from Boston, Maine lobsters as big as a cat, extensive wine list, upscale Galleria location, cigar smoke everywhere. The Capital Grille is the traditional steakhouse cum gentlemen's club. You almost can hear the deals being made by the insider politicos and good-old-boy gang. The Capital Grille first honed its elegant setting in Provincetown, R.I., and since then has exported the concept nationwide. With Capital Grilles in more than a dozen states, traveling businessmen can find a moveable feast of entrenched comfort. Unlike some of the more recent steakhouses who are banning smoking and reaching out to a female and couple clientele, Capital Grille embraces its gentlemen's club pedigree wholeheartedly. -- Ann Walton Sieber
