The Capital Grille

The Capital Grille in Southlake is a fine dining American steakhouse & seafood restaurant with a business-casual dress code, a listed price of $90 per person, hours that include weekday daytime service and evening service throughout the week. The recommendation is direct: choose it when the table wants a polished steakhouse-and-seafood meal in Southlake.

The confirmed menu identity is classic and focused: steakhouse cooking with seafood as part of the offering. The signature dishes include Porcini-Rubbed Bone-In Ribeye with 15-Year Aged Balsamic, Sliced Filet Mignon with Cipollini Onions, Wild Mushrooms and Fig Essence, Seared Tenderloin with Butter Poached Lobster Tails, Lobster Mac ‘N’ Cheese, Pan-Fried Calamari.

Book when the occasion matters

The Southlake location makes the most sense for guests who want a familiar premium-dining choice: steak, seafood, business-casual polish, a price point that signals a splurge. For a planned meal, the appeal is straightforward: a known steakhouse-and-seafood format.

That makes it useful when a group needs a menu with broad premium-dining appeal. Steakhouse regulars have the core format they expect, seafood eaters are not outside the concept, the American fine-dining structure is easy to understand for many groups. If the brief is “make the night feel handled,” The Capital Grille is a sensible Southlake choice.

The tradeoff is that predictability cuts both ways. Diners looking for a chef biography, a local sourcing narrative, or a highly personal kitchen identity should not treat those as confirmed selling points here. The grounded case for the restaurant is its fine dining American steakhouse & seafood identity, its $90 per person price point, its business-casual dress code, its confirmed Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.

Steak, seafood, confirmed recognition carry the decision

The menu identity is broad but centered: fine dining American steakhouse with seafood. Signature items listed for the restaurant include Porcini-Rubbed Bone-In Ribeye with 15-Year Aged Balsamic, Sliced Filet Mignon with Cipollini Onions, Wild Mushrooms and Fig Essence, Seared Tenderloin with Butter Poached Lobster Tails, Lobster Mac ‘N’ Cheese, Pan-Fried Calamari. For a first visit, the smarter path is to lean into that steak-and-seafood structure rather than treat it like a general American restaurant.

The restaurant also has a confirmed Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 2026. That is a meaningful recognition to note, but the practical decision should still start with the basics: whether the table wants a Southlake steakhouse-and-seafood meal at about $90 per person.

Hours support weekday daytime and evening service, with weekend service beginning at 4 PM. Posted hours are Monday through Thursday 11:30 AM–9 PM, Friday 11:30 AM–10 PM, Saturday 4–10 PM, Sunday 4–9 PM. If the question is where to take someone for a polished weekday meal or a weekend evening dinner in Southlake, the schedule fits; if the question is breakfast or brunch, that is not supported by the hours.

The practical read: easy to choose, not the place to overcomplicate

The Capital Grille in Southlake is easiest to recommend when the desired experience is clear: fine dining American steakhouse & seafood, business-casual dress, a premium price point.
