CdM  Restaurant Review: The Capitol Grille

My favorite place to go in Washington D.C. is the Capitol Grille. On my first trip to Washington D.C. trying to find a restaurant was a disaster. I made every mistake imaginable from eating in the hotel restaurant late at night to taking a never ending midday bus ride to the edge of town for a restaurant that didn't open until 5! The next time I visited Washington D.C. I decided to plan ahead. That's when I came across the Capitol Grille. Appropriately named this restaurant makes you feel like you're on Capitol hill. The dark wood and old fashioned paintings give a great ambiance. I'm pretty sure there was a post Congress session dinner going on read more
