A Sweet Touch

The Capital Grille's pastry chef dusting flour over a ball of dough on a floured surface, preparing for baking.

For pastries, desserts and other baked goods, we rely on our in-house expert: Our pastry chef. Artistically and technically skilled in all things sweet and decadent, our pastry chef is the first to arrive each day (before dawn, no less) to begin crafting the day's confections - all of which are made from scratch.

It takes a special kind of skill set to master the art of dessert; one must be creative, patient, detail-oriented, delicate and, of course, in possession of a sweet tooth. The perfect ending to a dining experience often relies on this rare combination of talents, and we are fortunate to turn to one of our own.

What's Ours Is Yours

Sometimes dessert is better shared - and we'd love to offer you the recipe for our signature Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake, one of our pastry chef's favorites. Made with rich chocolate and fresh raspberries, its velvety texture is always a hit with even the most discerning of connoisseurs. Of course, if you'd rather we prepare it for you, we'll certainly oblige.

Coconut cream pie topped with swirls of whipped cream and caramel drizzle, served with a crisp coconut tuile on a white plate.

Two Spoons, Please

Perhaps the best example of our pastry chef's skills lies with our guest favorite Coconut Cream Pie. Layered into a made-from-scratch graham cracker crust, topped with hand-whipped cream, drizzled in housemade caramel sauce and topped with our own coconut tuile, it is both exquisite and representative of multiple culinary techniques.
