The story
The Capital Grille at Yorktown Center in Lombard, Illinois brings the brand's signature approach to the steakhouse genre to the western suburbs of Chicago. The location serves both lunch and dinner, making it one of the more versatile options in the Downers Grove area for a serious sit-down meal.
The 2025 Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly — it requires a wine list of exceptional depth, breadth, and presentation. For a steakhouse, where the pairing of a well-chosen red with dry-aged beef is central to the experience, this distinction carries particular weight. Guests at the Lombard location can expect a cellar curated to complement the kitchen's output at every turn.
The Capital Grille is known nationally for its dry-aged steaks, unhurried service, and a dining room atmosphere that balances formality with comfort. The Lombard outpost follows that same standard, offering a setting appropriate for business dinners, celebrations, or any occasion where the meal itself is the point.
