1. Capital Grille
Steak lovers unite! Capital Grille is one of Shannon’s favorite steak restaurants and one of her favorite happy hour locations.

AZN in Mercato is a great place to start an exciting night out if you’re planning on catching a movie or hitting one of our more vibrant nightlife locations like Blue Martini, The Pub, or Cavo.
