The Capital Grille

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Steakhouse Standard-Bearer in Downtown Los Angeles

The Capital Grille at 700 W. 9th St. is one of Downtown Los Angeles's most recognized addresses for classic American dining. The restaurant earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence in 2025 — a distinction reserved for wine lists that go beyond the expected, offering depth, breadth, and thoughtful curation across regions and vintages.

American Dining with a Serious Wine List

The Best of Award of Excellence signals that the wine program here is a genuine draw in its own right, complementing the kind of substantial American cuisine that the Capital Grille is known for across its locations. For guests who take wine as seriously as their meal, that recognition carries real weight.

Worth Knowing

Whether you're coming for a weekday lunch or a dinner occasion, the combination of a polished American menu and an award-winning cellar makes this a reliable choice in a city with no shortage of competition.
