The Capital Grille Waikiki has announced a new limited-time culinary experience available from February 23 through June 28, 2026, in its bar and lounge area. The Wine & Wagyu Pairing, priced at $50 per pairing, combines premium Wagyu burgers with iconic wines from the Dave Phinney portfolio, offering guests a refined island setting for elevated flavors.
Located at 2380 Kuhio Ave. in Honolulu, The Capital Grille is known for its dry-aged steaks, world-class wine program, and polished hospitality. This new experience blends classic steakhouse sophistication with inventive pairings designed for those seeking something memorable.
The pairing menu includes three Wagyu burger options, each served with sea salt fries. The Grille's Wagyu Cheeseburger features grilled onions, steak sauce, and Vermont white cheddar, paired with Orin Swift Advice from John, Merlot. The Wagyu Blue Cheese & Black Truffle Burger includes cabernet-braised red onions and is suggested with Orin Swift Palermo, Cabernet Sauvignon. The Wagyu Mushroom & Swiss Burger, with sautéed shiitake and cremini mushrooms, Jarlsberg cheese, and truffle aioli, can be paired with Orin Swift 8 Years in the Desert, Zinfandel Blend, or Acolytes by OLG, Pinot Noir.
For an additional $20, guests can substitute chips and caviar—caramelized onion and caviar dip served with housemade chips—in place of fries.
The Dave Phinney portfolio wines are available by the glass for $30 and include Orin Swift Palermo, Cabernet Sauvignon (tasting notes: blackberry, black currant, dark chocolate, espresso); Orin Swift 8 Years in the Desert, Zinfandel Blend (black plum, boysenberry, ripe cherry, toasty vanilla); Orin Swift Advice from John, Merlot (dark fruits, licorice, espresso beans, soft tannins); and Acolytes by OLG, Pinot Noir (ripe cherry, strawberry, sandalwood, baking spices, white pepper).
