Coming soon to Rockville: Stanford Grill, from the Copper Canyon Grill team

Stanford Grill is the latest restaurant headed to Montgomery County, with a new lease signed for a 400-seat restaurant at 2000 Tower Oaks Blvd.

The first Stanford Grill opened in Columbia in 2012. The restaurant is also part of the Blue Ridge Restaurant Group, which owns four locations of Copper Canyon Grill, three in Maryland and one in Orlando, Florida.

Stanford Grill in Rockville will be located on the ground floor of a nine-story office building owned by Lerner Enterprises and The Tower Cos. It will include a sushi bar, cocktail bar and a large terrace with outdoor seating and a fire pit, according to the landlords.

Michael Wagner, who recently joined the Blue Ridge Restaurant Group as its executive chef, will design the menu for the restaurant. The dinner menu for the Columbia location includes large salads, entrees including crab cakes, prime rib and chicken pot pie, as well as some sandwiches. The menu highlights its wood-fired items as well, including wood-grilled fish and rotisserie chicken.
