The Chophouse Grille just opened with much fanfare on Route 1 in Wakefield. Taking over the space of the recently closed Casey’s Grill & Bar, the Chophouse Grille is a welcome addition to the southern Rhode Island dining scene. The Chophouse Grille promises to provide ingredients sourced from local farmers and fishermen: “the best Rhode Island has to offer.” Some menu highlights include Pt. Judith Calamari with roasted garlic butter, fried capers and pepperoncini; Lobster Panini with tarragon crème fraîche, swiss cheese, brie and vineripened tomato served with Old Bay fries; Grilled Yellowfin Tuna served with bok choy, coconut curry broth, toasted shitake mushrooms and rice noodles. All that, and I didn’t even mention the steaks yet! The aged steaks come in a variety of cuts from bone-in Delmonico to filet mingon to porterhouse and more. 191 Old Tower Hill Road, Wakefield. 284-0797.
