Make it a day to remember. From birthdays and anniversaries to professional milestones, we aim to make every gathering special at The Capital Grille. Open seven days a week, The Capital Grille is best known for our expertly prepared steaks, which are dry aged in house for 18 to 24 days and then hand-cut by our restaurant's on-premise butcher. The Capital Grille's wine list features more than 350 selections, and its floor-to-ceiling wine kiosk regularly houses 3,500 - 5,000 bottles. Reservations are recommended but not required. For more information, please visit our website. We look forward to delighting you.

We always enjoy Capital Grille. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. We’ve been going to this particular Capital Grille since they opened and have never been disappointed. After the pandemic, many restaurants declined in food quality, and most definitely in service. The Capital Grille has maintained their level of excellence in both food and service. We always look forward to our next visit.

The Capital Grille - Sarasota does not meet the high standards of The Capital Grille franchise. Extremely disappointed with this experience. Service was absent. We actually decided not to order entrees after we were forgotten during appetizers, soup & salad.

Fantastic meal, with amazing, attentive service from Alex! Steaks were cooked to perfection! Lobster tails were sweet and succulent. Appetizers of shrimp cocktail, tuna tartare, and oysters were fresh and delicious. A perfect dinner all around!

This was unfortunately not a great meal. Our drinks were wrong, my husband’s steak was a pour quality, and the mashed potatoes were runny. Kind of a bummer because it was our anniversary.
