The new luxury Hotel at Arundel Preserve is home to George Martin’s Grillfire Restaurant. The restaurant is easy to find off the new Arundel Mills Boulevard exit on the Baltimore Washington Parkway (295) just south of Route 100. Grillfire Arundel fills the needs for the hotel guests offering breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night snacks. Local businesses can tap into the private dining room for meetings and catering services. Neighborhood residents will enjoy their carryout as well as happy hour deals.
Owner of the five New York Grillfire restaurants,George Korten shared that the Grillfire Arundel is the first Grillfire Restaurant built from the ground up and is their flagship restaurant. The New York Grillfire restaurants were all remodels of previously owned restaurants. Grillfire Arundel at the Hotel at Arundel Preserve offers up warm, neutral tones with natural products of stone, brick and polished mahogany. Guests can enjoy a view of the cooking through the glassed in kitchen. The bar area is surrounded with nicely appointed booths or guests can select tables. The neutral tones and natural products seem in sync with the steakhouse genre restaurant though they serve so much more.
In addition to steakhouse favorites, the menu will also include a variety of chicken and seafood dishes, salads and sandwiches. A sampling of dinner entrees includes molasses and soy-marinated skirt steak, slow roasted maple brined pork chop fettuccine with sea scallops and jumbo shrimp and crabmeat crusted filet mignon. A variety of burgers and sandwiches are available including black label wagyu beef burger, veggie burger margarite and seared tuna wrap. Everything on the menu is made in house, scratch – that is a good thing. Two popular items at the New York Grillfires are the crunchy tuna and the chopped salad. Check out the slideshow.
As the grand opening carried on and the restaurant became crowded, passed hors d’ouevres didn’t seem to make it to our table. The husband, not a patient soul, was trying to catch the eye of a server. An astute executive chef, Frank Greco, asked a server to go back in the kitchen and make us a plate of assorted tastes. Kudos to the chef not only for his keen sensibilities for customer service also for the delectable tastes from the Grillfire menu.
Frank Greco, who brings nearly thirty years of experience in the restaurant industry, has been selected as the Executive Chef of Grillfire Arundel. A graduate of the New York Institute of Technology and part of the George Martin Group since 1989, Mr. Greco indicates that he has “incorporated Maryland’s passion for crabs into Grillfire Arundel entrees including the embellishment of prime-aged filet mignon and the presentation of lump meat crab cakes and crab and shrimp cocktail.”
There is plenty of parking in the covered garage – another good thing. There are just times when I get tired of hunting down parking or paying valet parking fees, which recently hit a new high of $9 per car.
