A Standard-Bearer for American Dining in Charlotte

The Capital Grille on North Tryon Street has established itself as one of Charlotte's most respected addresses for serious American cuisine. Its 2025 Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence speaks directly to what sets this restaurant apart: a wine program of genuine depth and rigor, curated to complement the bold, straightforward flavors that define the American steakhouse tradition at its best.

The Wine Program

Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly — it recognizes lists that go well beyond the basics, offering breadth across regions and vintages alongside the expertise to guide guests through them. For a restaurant rooted in classic American dining, this level of recognition signals a commitment to the full experience at the table, not just what arrives on the plate.
