Stanford Grill in Columbia gets 5 Stars for Ambiance

August 10th, 2010 by Pat Hiban
Categories: Commercial Real Estate, Community News and Events

My wife and I visited Stanford Grill this weekend based on a recommendation from a good friend.

He told me is was perfect in every way. He was right. It reminded me of Huston’s or Houlihan’s. A casual atmosphere with better than average food selection.

The owners, Blue Ridge Restaurant Group paid a clean 2.1 Million for the building and land to the former owners of the old Lone Star Steakhouse and have obviously spent a ton more on new improvements inside and out!!! . These guys or gals own 5 Copper Canyon restaurants and are testing out a new menu here.

Just like it’s neighbors, Nottingham’s , the place is a bear to find, but once you find it it’s a destination you’ll want to return to. Without the return customer it will most likely suffer from the same fate that Lone Star did before it. It’s got to be a purposeful destination as Nottingham’s has been.My wife and her best friend Gina loved sitting out on the patio and looking out at their second home, Target .

The food was great. The service was great and the ambiance was better than great. We waited for our table outside on the patio on some couches that surrounded an outdoor fireplace. It reminded me of the patio at the Phoenician Resort in Arizona. It appears there are heaters on the ceilings outside so this delightful patio could be open during multiple seasons. Their was an outdoor bar in addition to the indoor bar and the bartender jumped right on us as we sat down and got us cold drinks. Our waiter was very attentive, but I have to admit he accidently switched the specials in his mind and brought me trout when I thought I was getting tuna. He made up for it by over apologizing and comping the entree for me. I’ll definitely be back.
