Mrs. 0524 and I paid our first visit to the new Capital Grille on East 42nd St. in New York. It's another also-ran to Del Frisco's: nice decor, over-eager service and routine chow.
My current rankings:
1. Del Frisco's, New York
2. Craft, MGM Las Vegtas
3. River Palm, Mahwah, NJ
4. Smith & Wollensky's, New York
5. Capital Grille, New York
6. Ruth's Cris, Parsippany
7. Morton's, Hackensack, NJ
