The Capital Grille

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Pittsburgh Institution for American Steakhouse Dining

The Capital Grille at 301 Fifth Avenue is Pittsburgh's address for the kind of American steakhouse experience that earns serious recognition. In 2024, Wine Spectator honored the restaurant with its Best of Award of Excellence — a distinction reserved for wine programs that go well beyond the basics, offering depth, breadth, and genuine expertise in the glass.

The Wine Program

That award is no small thing. Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence sits above the entry-level Award of Excellence and signals a list that pairs serious range with careful curation. For guests, it means that whether you are pairing a bold Cabernet with a dry-aged cut or exploring something more unexpected, the cellar here is built to reward the curious.

Lunch and Dinner in the Heart of Pittsburgh

The Capital Grille serves both lunch and dinner, making it a destination not only for celebratory evenings but also for business lunches and leisurely midday meals. The American steakhouse format — unhurried, attentive, anchored by quality beef and a well-stocked bar — translates naturally to both dayparts.

For anyone seeking a reliable, decorated American dining experience in Pittsburgh, the Fifth Avenue address delivers on its reputation.
