For nearly three years, the building at the intersection of Carroll Avenue and Highway 114 remained empty after Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles moved to Grapevine in 2021. But later this month, Southlake’s newest steakhouse since 2013's Del Frisco's Grille is opening its doors and introducing diners to its signature brand of gourmet dining.
“We see this as a great entry into Southlake,” says Keith Moore, Darden Restaurants real estate development director, during a city council presentation. “I think we’ve got the footprint right to make this fit for the brand.”
The spacious layout of the 10,815-square-foot restaurant was made possible by expanding into The Gents Place after the men’s salon moved a few doors down. The resulting design embodies all of the key characteristics of the multi-million-dollar franchise, from its African mahogany aesthetic to the elegant art deco chandeliers. Upon being seated inside the grand dining hall, sommeliers will guide you through their award-winning wine list, which features over 350 of the finest selections from around the world. After raising a glass, sample one of its savory seafood starters like the pan-fried calamari with hot cherry peppers or the lobster mac ‘n’ cheese topped with Panko bread crumbs and five different cheeses.
Of course, The Capital Grille is most known for its locally sourced steaks, which are dry-aged for 18 to 24 days before getting carved by the restaurant’s in-house butcher. Whether it’s the 8-ounce filet mignon, the 18-ounce New York strip or the 22-ounce prime ribeye, every steak can either be served fresh to the table or taken to go to cook at home in one of the steak grille boxes. Don’t forget to save room for dessert, because the cheesecake is served brulee-style with a generous helping of fresh berries while the coconut cream pie is paired with house-made caramel sauce and a hint of rum.
Whether you soak up the posh, intimate setting or slice into a tender cut of beef, it’s no wonder why The Capital Grille is redefining fine dining in Southlake.
