A Standard-Bearer for American Dining in Austin
The Capital Grille on West Fourth Street in Austin represents the kind of American restaurant where the wine list is taken as seriously as the food on the plate.

A Room Worth the Visit
The atmosphere at The Capital Grille tends toward the polished and unhurried — the kind of setting suited to a business lunch that runs long or a dinner where the conversation matters as much as the meal.
