The Capital Grille

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Benchmark for American Steakhouse Dining in Sarasota

The Capital Grille at University Town Center in Sarasota represents a consistent standard in American steakhouse dining — the kind of place where dry-aged steaks, an extensive wine list, and polished service come together without pretense.

Wine Worth the Recognition

In 2024, Wine Spectator honored The Capital Grille Sarasota with its Best of Award of Excellence, a distinction reserved for restaurants that go well beyond the basics in building and presenting a wine program. For a steakhouse rooted in American cuisine, pairing quality cuts with a thoughtfully curated cellar is central to the experience — and this recognition reflects that commitment.

Lunch, Dinner, and the Details That Matter

Open for both lunch and dinner, The Capital Grille serves as a reliable destination whether the occasion calls for a weekday business meal or an evening out. The American steakhouse format — with its emphasis on prime cuts, classic sides, and tableside attentiveness — is executed here with the consistency the brand is known for, anchored in a setting that suits Sarasota's mix of residents and visitors alike.
