The lunchtime New York strip steak at STK costs $71 and I paid an extra $13 to add umami butter. Yes, $13 for butter. But it's butter made with wagyu steak drippings that was melted atop my steak with a blowtorch - the spectacle alone was worth a few extra bucks. Although paying $84 total for a steak is a lot, it was also one of the best steaks I've ever had. It was cooked to a perfect medium, with an even pink center throughout and a wonderful sear on the exterior.
Capital Grille's Caesar was pretty much perfect. The $15 Caesar salad at Capital Grille was excellent - and a bit more reasonably priced. The lettuce was chopped into relatively even, bite-sized pieces, there were broad shavings of fresh Parmesan cheese, the croutons were thick and easily forked, and the dressing was light but flavorful. With a sprinkle of cracked black pepper added to the top, it was an excellent starter.
