In late August, Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group Inc. opened its newest Del Frisco’s Grille at the Landmark Square on Broad St. in downtown Stamford, Connecticut. The 7900 square foot unit has seating for 222 guests including a private dining room along with additional outdoor seating for 52. The newest unit features the concept’s signature bold flavors and market-fresh ingredients showcased in updated American classics for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. Also known for its extensive cocktail list, the Stamford location offers handmade drinks, selection of wines that includes more than 250 regional and global vintages and local Connecticut beers. It is the 19th Del Frisco’s Grille across the country, and the 49th restaurant overall for Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group, which also owns and operates twelve Del Frisco’s Double Eagle and 18 Sullivan’s Steakhouse locations. “Stamford is a vibrant city and our Grille concept is a great fit for the area with a lively bar featuring handmade, signature cocktails, a large patio area overlooking energetic downtown and unique menu items,” commented CEO Mark S. Mednansky. “We are pleased to continue expanding our presence and look forward to providing a destination for dining and socializing in Stamford, where many of our New York guests reside.” Later in September, another Del Frisco’s Grille, a 9000 square foot unit, is scheduled to open on Waterfront Corporate Center on River St. in Hoboken, New Jersey. Other units in Little Rock, Arkansas and Cherry Creek in Colorado are opening shortly.
