African mahogany paneling and Art Deco chandeliers provide a warm, stately setting for our nationally renowned dry-aged steaks, fresh seafood, and acclaimed world-class wines. With service as gracious as it is attentive, we look forward to impressing you. 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. Long before our steaks meet the grill, they are meticulously dry aged on premises for 18 – 24 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. Subject to State and City of Southlake approvals, The Capital Grille plans to construct a new restaurant to be located at 1201 E State Hwy 114, Suite 100, Southlake, TX 76092. The proposed The Capital Grille site is 2 existing tenant spaces (The Gents Place & LoLo’s Chicken & Waffles) which will be combined into one space by the Landlord.
