The Capital Grille

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Steakhouse Recognized for Excellence

The Capital Grille on International Drive in Orlando carries the kind of credentials that matter to serious diners. The restaurant earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence in 2024, a recognition reserved for wine programs that demonstrate exceptional depth, breadth, and thoughtful pairing with the kitchen's output. For a steakhouse, that distinction speaks directly to the overall dining experience — not just what's on the plate, but what's in the glass.

The Steakhouse Standard

The Capital Grille has built its reputation on the fundamentals that define a great American steakhouse: dry-aged beef, polished service, and a room that feels appropriately serious without being stiff. The International Drive location puts this experience within reach of both Orlando visitors and local diners looking for a reliable anchor for a special evening. Dinner is the occasion here, and the atmosphere is calibrated accordingly — unhurried, attentive, and comfortable for guests who want to linger.

Worth the Reservation

For those who take wine and beef seriously, the Wine Spectator recognition is a meaningful signal. It reflects a cellar curated with enough range to complement a steakhouse menu across multiple courses and preferences. The Capital Grille earns its place among Orlando's most recognized dining destinations not through novelty, but through consistent execution of what a great steakhouse dinner should be.
