Wagyu + Wine at Capital Grille

Last week, my friend Trish and I enjoyed a long lunch in the lounge at the new Capital Grille in North Hills. We were there to check out the WAGYU + WINE special that is currently being featured in their lounge. From now until November 20, you can enjoy one of three gourmet burgers of famed Wagyu beef paired with an exceptional glass of red wine from Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, 2013 or Goldeneye Pinot Noir 2013. This unique pairing is available for only $25 and is such a great deal.

You can choose from three delicious burgers including a Wagyu Cheeseburger with Havarti, Fried Egg and Crisp Onions, a Wild Mushroom Wagyu Cheeseburger with 15-Year Aged Balsamic Caramelized Onion, or a Wagyu Burger with Jarlsberg Cheese and Shallot Mayo. Each one comes with fries. I sampled both reds and they were fabulous and it was hard to make a choice between the two. Both were carefully selected to pair specifically with the burgers. This pairing for $25 is a great deal perfect for lunch or dinner with a friend or date night!

We decided to stay for dessert and selected a delicious Warm Double Chocolate Cake with Port Wine Infused Cherries and Ice Cream and Seasonal Berries with Vanilla Bean Crème Anglais. Both desserts paired nicely with a glass of port and topped off with a perfect temperature cappuccino! Needless to say, I did NOT need dinner! Did I mention we also sampled a STOLI DOLI, The Capital Grille Signature Martini. Stolichnaya Vodka infused with fresh pineapple, chilled and served straight up.

Service was amazing, the lounge is stunning, and we both left full and relaxed, having really enjoyed a rare long and leisurely lunch in North Hills.
