Fresh Friday

It’s officially Summer, which is our favorite season because we can pick up fresh vegetables at local farm stands in the area and incorporate them into our dishes.

We are featuring Asparagus from Godfrey’s Farm through this weekend at Stanford Grill. Godfrey’s Vegetable Farm, located in Sudlersville, MD has been around for at least three generations providing hand-harvested produce to the community!

We believe in using local, fresh produce as often as possible. Summertime gives us the perfect opportunity to bring a taste of the community to our tables. Follow along on Facebook to learn more about the fresh and local produce we feature each week!

Stanford Grill New Website and Innovative ‘Gather’ Feature

The Stanford Grill in Rockville, MD Announces Launch of its New Website and Innovative ‘Gather’ Feature

The premier venue for private and business events in Rockville adds a host of robust new tools for event hosting to its website

Rockville, MD – May 13, 2016 –The Stanford Grill, Montgomery County’s premier private and business event venue, announces today the launch of its new, feature-rich website, along with its new ‘Gather’ tool, that delivers an enhanced experience for clients to plan and coordinate private events with greater convenience and efficiency. The restaurant’s new website offers a plethora of information important to today’s diners and party planners, including menus, links for making reservations, and membership information regarding the exclusive Woodfire Club.

Key features include:

• Ease of Use for a Streamlined Process
  • The menu, set-up, and financial projections are all visible to make designing an event with the event manager an easy experience. Event managers can easily make changes while on the phone with the client and immediately provide pricing details.
• Efficiency and Communication – from Start to Finish
  • The Stanford Grill’s streamlined process ensures there is no break in communication from start to finish between the client, event manager, and on-site staff, throughout all phases of the planning process. Every single email, from the moment the contract is sent, has a hyperlink directly to the event. Quick access to past event menus, booking contacts, and financial information also allows for easy repeat of any events.
• Automatic, Real-Time Updates
  • The website’s linked capability directly inputs the information customers want their event manager to know into the restaurant system, allowing for even more efficient responses regarding an event. The pertinent information is attached for making all decisions moving forward. And when changes are made, a quick refresh of the browser allows clients to see the updated event order immediately so all parties are consistently on the same page.
• Virtual Access Anytime, Anywhere
  • Access to calendars, event details, and menus is available from anywhere with internet access. The ability to watch an event take life throughout each planning stage is not only a highlight, but also a comfort to guests hosting a wide range of events, from wedding rehearsals to business dinners.

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new website and its rich host of capabilities, particularly the ‘Gather’ feature, to streamline the process of organizing events and delivering an even smoother experience for our clients,” said Patrick Monnig, Group Sales Manager. “Our new responsive tools and systems come together to take all of the worry and guesswork out of the planning process.”

Your Stories

This week we asked you, our guests and friends, to tell us what Copper Canyon Grill and Stanford Grill mean to you. Everyone who told us their story was entered to win a $50 gift card to our restaurants, and we were overwhelmed with the amazing response! We care deeply about the experience you get when joining us for a meal, from the greeting you get when you walk in the door all the way to your dessert, so it’s very important to us to hear from you about your personal experiences. A big thank you to all who entered and shared with us!

We will be sharing more of these stories in the coming weeks, but today are sharing thoughts from our two winners. Lisa had the following to say about what Copper Canyon Grill means to her:

“Dining at Copper Canyon has become a weekly family ritual, where we create memories, share stories and experience the love of friends and family. The servers have even become our extended family that share in our happy time together.”

We love hearing that our family has become part of Lisa’s family. Amanda had similar thoughts about Stanford Grill:

“Stanford Grill in Columbia was the first place in MD that felt like ‘our place’. We started going as an engaged couple. We have celebrated every major milestone in those walls-marriage, jobs, friends, babies, birthdays, date nights…It was the first place we took our new born son, the place we always recommend, and continues to be our first choice for every get together. Thank you for creating such a fantastic atmosphere, and for giving us a ‘place’.”

Again, thank you to everyone who entered and shared with us! We’re thankful to be part of your story!

Winter Favorites

Now that the holidays are over and life is quieting down a bit, it’s time to settle into a normal eating pattern again. But eating normal again doesn’t mean you have to settle for bland or boring foods – check out our winter favorites list for some of our favorite things to enjoy when the cold weather hits!

1. Bravo Salad (Stanford Grill)

For a nutritious salad that packs a punch of both flavor and texture, dig in to the Bravo Salad with our famous rotisserie chicken, avocado, dates, goat cheese, roasted corn, and almonds! Your taste buds and energy level will thank you.

2. Italian Meatballs (Stanford Grill)

Is there anything better than homemade meatballs with marinara and garlic bread? We can’t think of anything. Start your dinner off with this appetizer on your next trip to Stanford Grill for the perfect Italian plate!

3. Pancake Triple Stack (Copper Canyon & Stanford Grill Columbia)

Served at Sunday brunch only, this impressive plate piled with blueberry or banana nut pancakes with hot syrup is the only way to start your Sunday – that and a mimosa, of course.

4. Double-Cut Pork Chop (Stanford Grill Columbia)

Hardwood grilled and served with braised red cabbage and mashed potatoes, this plate is just as delicious as it is colorful. Red cabbage provides Vitamin C as well as many other health benefits, so you’ll feel great while enjoying a tasty plate!

5. Iron Skillet Cornbread (Copper Canyon & Stanford Grill Columbia)

We can’t forget our favorite dish to share, our Iron Skillet Cornbread. Served hot with lots of butter, this dish screams comfort food! We especially love it paired with one of our soups on a cold winter evening.
