The Capital Grille Hawaiʻi Appoints Amarie Saunders as Wine & Beverage Manager

The Capital Grille Hawaiʻi has appointed Amarie Saunders as its new Restaurant/Wine & Beverage Manager at the Waikīkī location. Saunders brings a deep passion for wine, thoughtful service, and a belief in the connections made around the table. Her appreciation for wine began on her family's small farm, where she learned to make wine alongside her grandfather using muscadine grapes from their vineyard. That early experience inspired a lasting interest in wine and led her to become a Level One Sommelier. "My love for wine has remained rooted in tradition, connection, and the stories shared over a wonderful meal," said Saunders. At The Capital Grille Hawaiʻi, she looks forward to getting to know guests' favorite varietals, introducing new discoveries, and helping them find selections that complement both their meal and the occasion. Her approach reflects the restaurant's commitment to making each visit feel personal, whether guests are celebrating a milestone, gathering with colleagues, or enjoying an evening out in Waikīkī. "I'm grateful to be part of this 'ohana and look forward to connecting, and reconnecting, with each of you," Saunders said.
