Dining room at The Capital Grille, Charlotte, NCCharlotte’s movers and shakers take their accustomed positions at The Capital Grille bar for post-work cocktails and business dinners. For appetizers, calamari is pan-fried with hot cherry peppers, while the Wagyu beef carpaccio departs from the norm by being seared, then chilled and sliced razor thin. Seafood also gets its due among the starters beyond the calamari, with shrimp and oysters having starring roles. The restaurant is known for (and with good reason) its huge, glorious steaks that have been dry-aged and hand cut on the premises. But if you are not in a particularly carnivorous mood, try the spice-rubbed roasted chicken, the swordfish with lemon relish and lamb rib chops. Then consider coconut cream pie or chocolate hazelnut cake for dessert. The 400-plus bottle wine list offers both breadth and depth of varietals and geography, though at sometimes staggering prices. Service is professional.
