The U.S. Capitol Cafe offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a nice setting to sit outside under the covered patio. The menu features delicious dishes such as the Crab Mac and Cheese, made with cavatappi pasta and full of crab meat, and the shrimp and grits with meaty and big shrimp. The cafe could improve on coordination, but the food alone is worth return trips. Customers praise the great variety of food from many different countries, including Jamaican items, as well as the awesome desserts. The cafeteria-style setup accommodates the diverse menu desires of all visitors to the Capital, from legislative staff to high school students. While the prices may be considered "vacation prices" by some, the overall experience is good, with a fancy ambiance and great food.
