Parsippany Restaurant Wins 2023 Wine Spectator Award

PARSIPPANY, NJ — A Parsippany restaurant was recently named among Wine Spectator's 2023 Restaurant Award Winners.

Wine Spectator awarded more than 3,500 restaurants worldwide.

To qualify for the "Award of Excellence," which 2001 locations received, a restaurant needs "well-curated lists with approximately 90 selections or more." The "Best of Award of Excellence" winners take it a step further, with 350 selections or more — 1,411 restaurants received the award.

The Capital Grille, which is located at 10 Dryden Way, in Parsippany won the "Best of Award of Excellence" award.

"Even while dealing with the challenges that linger from the pandemic, restaurants around the world have found ways not only to excel and distinguish themselves with wine, but to exceed their previous accomplishments," Cassia Schifter of Wine Spectator writes.

The Capital Grille has made the list since 2021.

The restaurant spans nearly 10,000 square feet, including private and semi-private space, as well as a lounge. This location adds to the over 60 Capital Grille restaurants across the country.

The dining room is open daily for dinner, with hours Sunday from 4-9 p.m., Monday through Thursday from 4-10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 4-11 p.m., as well as lunch Monday-Saturday from 11:30 a.m.-4 p.m.

To make a reservation, or for more information call 973-889-8622, or visit the website.

The list's highest honor is the Grand Award, which goes to restaurants with "world-class wine programs" that typically feature at least 1,000 selections. Only 93 restaurants worldwide have received the accolade, including two in New Jersey: The Pluckemin Inn (Bedminster) and Restaurant Latour (Hamburg).

Sixteen New Jersey establishments earned Wine Spectator awards this year. The awards include wine programs from all 50 states and more than 75 countries and territories.
