The story
The Capital Grille on North Westshore Boulevard is one of Tampa's most recognized addresses for serious American cuisine. The restaurant earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence in 2016, a distinction that reflects a wine list built with genuine depth and careful curation — the kind that complements a menu centered on dry-aged steaks and classic American cooking.
The Wine Spectator recognition is not incidental. At The Capital Grille, the wine list is treated as integral to the dining experience rather than an afterthought. Guests choosing between a bold Napa Cabernet and an aged Burgundy will find the selection broad enough to reward that deliberation, whether the occasion is a business lunch or an evening dinner.
The restaurant serves both lunch and dinner, making it one of the more versatile upscale American dining options in the Westshore district. The setting suits a range of occasions — from midday meetings to unhurried evening meals — with the consistent polish that has made The Capital Grille a trusted name across its locations.
