The Capital Grille is a fine-dining restaurant offering dry aged steaks, fresh seafood, and an award-winning wine list. Our expertly prepared steaks are custom-aged in house for 18 to 24 days and then hand-cut by the restaurant’s on-premise butcher. We invite you to join us for an evening of relaxed elegance and exceptional service.

About The Capital Grille

We Wine. We Dine. We Dazzle. The Capital Grille has the feel of a private club open to the public and features hand-carved steaks dry-aged in-house, and a distinctive wine platform.

Mahogany paneling and art deco chandeliers provide a warm, stately setting and every restaurant is carefully designed to create an atmosphere of refined sophistication. With service as gracious as it is attentive, we look forward to impressing you.

Exceptional Ingredients, Artfully Prepared

It is our sole desire that everything, and we mean everything, that arrives at your table at The Capital Grille delights you. To that end, we use only the finest, freshest ingredients, masterfully prepared in recipes designed to engage all of your senses.

What Makes Our Steaks Extraordinary

Long before our steaks meet the grill, they are meticulously dry aged on premises for more than 18 days to achieve incomparable flavor and texture. Then, each is hand-carved by our in-house butchers to exacting standards. An intensive process, but we’re confident you’ll agree it is most certainly worth it.

Architecture

While every Capital Grille restaurant is carefully designed to create an atmosphere of refined sophistication, some of our locations display unique details of which we are particularly proud, from historic architecture to exceptional finishing touches.
