San Antonio’s steak race will get tighter on August 3. Upscale chain The Capital Grille is opening its first Alamo City steakhouse, bringing dry-aged ribeyes, pan-seared sea bass, and an encyclopedic wine list to 17446 Fiesta Texas Dr. for the first time.<\/p>\n

The high-end restaurant was an unlikely hit when founder Ned Grace introduced the concept in 1990. Not only was it located in a rundown part of downtown Providence, Rhode Island, but it also debuted in the middle of a recession. The restaurateur got the last laugh when it became a see-and-be-seen spot for local businesspeople and political leaders. Today, it is owned by the Darden restaurant group, the company behind Cheddar’s, Olive Garden, Seasons 52, Ruth’s Chris, and Eddie V’s.<\/p>\n

The Capital Grille is most known for prime steaks that are dry-aged in-house for 18-24 days. Each restaurant staffs butchers to hand carve the daily selections, which are made into traditional steakhouse plates and chef’s preparations like a porcini-rubbed ribeye, seared tenderloin with butter-poached lobster tails, and a filet mignon with cipollini onions, wild mushrooms, and fig essence.<\/p>\n

The restaurants supplement the red meat with various seafood options, including pan-fried calamari with cherry peppers, lobster mac ‘n’ cheese, seared sesame tuna, and a grand plateau of cold bar shellfish. Desserts include a br\u00fbl\u00e9ed cheesecake and a coconut cream pie.<\/p>\n

Although The Capital Grille has a full bar, it is most proud of its wine cellar holding 3,000 bottles. The Wine Spectator award-winning list includes 30 pours by the glass, offering guests a chance to sample rare vintages. Oenophiles who want to take their vino obsession further can rent a private wine locker on an annual basis. <\/p>\n

A press release announcing the opening did not include many interior details, but the 10,068-square-foot space makes room for a lounge and private event spaces. The company typically outfits its restaurants with traditional furnishings, richly colored upholstery, patterned carpeting, and Craftsman-inspired pendant lamps. And a pair of lion statues always guard the doors.<\/p>\n

Once open, The Capital Grille will be open for weekday lunch service from 11:30 am-4 pm. Dinner hours are Monday through Thursday, 4-9 pm; Friday, 4-10 pm; Saturday, 5-10 pm; and Sunday, 5-9 pm. Reservations are recommended but not required.<\/p>\n

“I’m thrilled for The Capital Grille to open here in San Antonio and to bring our upscale dining experience with dry-aged steaks, fresh seafood, and an impressive wine selection to the vibrant culinary scene at The Shops of La Cantera,” managing partner Chris Madere said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Antonio’s steak race will get tighter on August 3.
