The Stanford Grill

You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in. But we've got a better idea. Each week, Severn Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. Here's this week's choice:

The Stanford Grill -- Now occupying the previous home of Longhorn Steakhouse, the Stanford Grill possess an upscale feel and a menu to match its class. With a viewable rotiserry and an open fire display throughout the restaurant, it's wonderful place to dine during the cold winter months. In addition to fine dining options like roast duck and seared tuna, The Stanford Grill boasts delicious "simple" plates and some of the best Mac N Cheese in the area, featuring an unexpected cayenne pepper seasoned throughout.

You may want to save a bit before heading over, but The Stanford Grill is a relatively secret dining option that you won't be able to stop talking about.

Live music (piano) is performed on the weekends and special holidays.
