The Capital Grille is bringing a full-service steakhouse to Livonia this month, complete with a lounge, private dining rooms, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. The new spot will anchor a freestanding building in the Laurel Park Place corridor, giving suburban diners a nearby option for celebrations and business dinners. Reservations are already live, and the opening plants another national name along an increasingly busy stretch of Six-Mile Road.
Where And When
The Livonia restaurant is listed at 17117 Laurel Park Drive North, with an opening date of next Friday on the new-locations page, and reservations available through the company’s booking system, according to The Capital Grille. The listing also includes a local phone number for the site. The dining room is expected to occupy a standalone building just off Six-Mile Road near the Laurel Park Place shopping area.
What To Expect
The Livonia Capital Grille will cover roughly 9,260 square feet and will feature a lounge, a temperature-controlled wine cellar with private wine lockers, and several private dining spaces. The restaurant will be open daily for dinner and will serve lunch on weekdays, with the location managed by Reed W. Styers, per The Detroit News.
Local Approvals And Neighbors
City planning records show Capital Grille Holdings sought waivers to operate a Class C on-premises liquor license and an S.D.M. packaged beer-and-wine license at the site, a step city officials advanced during recent meetings, according to the City of Livonia. The new steakhouse sits next to Cooper’s Hawk, which opened earlier this spring at 17115 N. Laurel Park Drive, creating a small dining cluster along the corridor, per Cooper's Hawk.
Regional Context And Jobs
The Livonia addition expands Darden’s footprint in Metro Detroit. The Capital Grille already operates a location at Somerset Collection in Troy, according to The Somerset Collection. Local job postings tied to the Livonia address appear on the chain’s careers site, suggesting the new restaurant will bring both service and managerial roles to the area, per The Capital Grille.
Practical Details
Third-party platforms show the Livonia spot accepting reservations for mid-June, and requests for parties or private dining can be made through the restaurant’s booking system. The Livonia listing currently offers reservation slots and a phone contact for the location, according to OpenTable. Expect the dining room and lounge to settle into a typical Capital Grille schedule once the doors officially open.
