The Capital Grille has done the impossible and found customers to fill another steakhouse in a town already overrun with steakhouses. And all it had to do was be better than everyone else in every possible way. From the wonderful dry-aged steaks and clubby decor to excellent sides and service, this steakhouse has everything the discerning carnivore dreams of.

2009 | Best High-End Steakhouse

We've eaten at every steakhouse in this steakhouse-heavy town, and we've never found anything that tops the Capital Grille. Everything about this restaurant — from the hand-cut steaks and perfectly set tables to the flawless service, cool lunches... More >
2008 | Best Place to Pick Up the Tab — Lunch

Dinners at the Capital Grille can be murderously expensive. That dry-aged and hand-sculpted 24-ounce porterhouse, with sides, will run as high as your monthly car payment, and some of the bottles on the "Captain's List" could bankrupt a small... More >
2008 | Best High-End Steakhouse

When the Capital Grille came to Denver, people doubted that it would make a dent in a city already fat with high-end steakhouses. But those people were wrong. Capital Grille came to Denver with a deep understanding of what a steakhouse customer... More >

2006 | BEST MOTHERF*&$ING EXPENSIVE LUNCH

Lunch at the Capital Grille doesn't have to be that expensive, but since you're already here, why not whip out that platinum card and make something of your day? Forget the iced tea and have the bar pour you a couple of top-shelf martinis... More >

Baltimore's Andrew Palmer is one cunning con, who had a slick scam going to grab some free grub. Palmer had been hitting the nicer restaurants in town as a solo diner, and when the bill was dr More >

I am a creature of habit. In the past, when I found myself at the bar at Capital Grille — which was quite often, since this steakhouse in Larimer Square is both an easy spot to start an evening and a handy place to end one — I always ordered a Sto... More >

When the people behind Prime 121 decided to bring yet another steakhouse to this crowded cow town, they were taking on quite a challenge (see review). But it's been done very successfully a couple of times in the past few years, by operations that... More >

I imagine that a true baseball fan would be blissful at meeting Babe Ruth's great-grandson. Politicos probably panic when they're introduced to a Kennedy scion. Brits blatantly blanch when they see that little convict Prince Harry. So when I met F... More >

When a woman over the age of thirty asks where she and her single friends should go for a drink, I always suggest Capital Grille. Yes, I know I've derided chain restaurants time and again, but for some reason, upscale steakhouse chains don't have ... More >

All the staff is great there and the food is fab. my fav is the lobster mac and cheese as an appetizer for the table beause it is so rich and the Kona crusted filet. The dark rye bread with raisins is a yummy start!

Surprisingly, this is a great place to go post Nuggets games. They don't mind if you aren't dressed to the nines and the crowd is always fun in the bar.
