The story
Crafted with passion, served with love
A Denver Institution for American Fine Dining
The Capital Grille at 1450 Larimer Street is one of Denver's most recognized addresses for serious American dining. The restaurant has earned a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, a distinction that speaks directly to the depth and curation of its wine list — no small feat in a city where dining options continue to grow in sophistication.
The Wine Program
The Wine Spectator recognition, first awarded in 2009, reflects a commitment to pairing great American cuisine with a wine selection that goes well beyond the expected. The Best of Award of Excellence is reserved for lists that show both breadth across regions and vintages, and genuine thoughtfulness in how those selections complement the food — a standard The Capital Grille has worked to maintain.
Lunch, Dinner, and the Steakhouse Standard
Open for both lunch and dinner, The Capital Grille anchors itself in the American steakhouse tradition — the kind of setting where the atmosphere is unhurried, the portions are generous, and the experience is built around substance rather than spectacle. Larimer Street, one of Denver's most storied thoroughfares, provides a fitting backdrop for a restaurant that takes its craft seriously.
For those seeking a dependable, award-recognized American dining experience in Denver, The Capital Grille remains a consistent and well-regarded choice.
