High-end steakhouse plans new SWFL location

The Capital Grille is set to open its first Fort Myers location. 

The fine-dining steakhouse, a unit of Orlando-based restaurant giant Darden, will open a spot in Bell Tower, a shopping, dining and entertainment destination in Daniels Parkway Fort Myers. The location, near the Jared The Galleria of Jewelry store, is expected to open in late summer 2024, according to a statement. The Capital Grille has at least 10 other locations in Florida, including Naples, Sarasota and Tampa. 

“The addition of a coveted restaurant like The Capital Grille is yet another way in which Bell Tower is becoming one of Fort Myers’ top day-to-night destinations,” says Jim Brennan, general manager for the shopping center, in the statement.
