Wagyu from $30 on the menu we read · up to $95
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
The Capital Grille's Washington DC dining room at 601 Pennsylvania Ave NW serves two Wagyu items on its own location menu: a Snake River Farms Gold Wagyu Steak Tartare at $30 and a Snake River Farms Gold Wagyu Filet Mignon 8 oz at $95, with the same filet offered as a $30 upgrade on the Generous Pour wine dinner. The producer is named, but Snake River Farms Gold is a marbling grade rather than a breed generation, so the American Wagyu provenance stays incomplete. No Japanese, A5 or Kobe item appears on this location's menu.

“Sibling control: the same two items price at 29 and 92 here against 30 and 95 at restaurant 8003, so the menu is genuinely location-scoped while the Wagyu wording is identical.”

Common questions
- Does The Capital Grille Washington DC serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 17, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does The Capital Grille Washington DC serve?
- Its menu discloses Snake River Farms Gold. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is The Capital Grille Washington DC listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
