Fairfield, CT: The highly anticipated opening of Boca Grille and Raw Bar located on the grounds of the beautiful H. Smith Richardson Golf Course in Fairfield kicks off with the official ribbon cutting on Tuesday, March 30, at 12 noon.
An original concept produced by Steelpointe Restaurant Group and spearheaded by Fairfield residents Peter Prizio and Yanni Taxiltaridis, Boca Grille and Raw Bar takes its cues from Steelpointe Restaurant Group’s popular elevated tavern fare and casual vibe found at Metro Kitchen and Bar in Fairfield, combined with the group’s land and sea menu and energy of an active indoor-outdoor venue found at Boca Oyster Bar in Bridgeport, and created an exciting restaurant, bar, and event destination to complement Fairfield’s beloved H Smith Richardson Golf Course. Boca Grille and Raw Bar is housed in the property’s new 9,200 square foot structure that also includes the golf pro shop and locker rooms. A stunning wood-paneled dome skylight, magnificent stone fireplace, and tranquil golf course views share the stage with the restaurant’s New England design aesthetic and eclectic menu. The building is designed by Silver/Petrucelli and Associates and was built by Wernert Construction Company.
Customers can look forward to Boca’s popular seafood favorites such as lobster rolls, ahi tuna tacos, market-fresh fish, and raw bar selections, in addition to casual fare that includes wings, nachos, juicy burgers, hearty sandwiches, and fresh salads. The dinner menu features lobster ravioli, rack of lamb, miso-glazed Chilean seabass, and Boca’s signature 50 oz cowboy bone-in ribeye for 2. Craft beer, a curated global wine list, martinis, and creative premium cocktails round out the offerings. Boca Grille and Raw Bar provides the food service for the entire operation throughout the day, from early morning breakfast for golfers and snack bar carts on the golf course to lunch and dinner menus and custom events. The restaurant is family-friendly, offering Saturday and Sunday brunch, in addition to serving as a social respite over cocktails at the bar or on the patio, all overlooking the golf course.
Steelpointe Restaurant Group first made its mark on the local dining scene in 2015 with Crave Restaurant, a neighborhood tavern on Sanford Street which in 2020 went through minor renovations and rebranded as Metro Kitchen and Bar, a more modern and vibrant version of its original incarnation. In May 2019, the team embarked on a massive project in the newly developed Steelpointe Harbor in Bridgeport. Boca Oyster Bar, a 13,000 square foot waterfront restaurant became the anchor restaurant for the neighborhood development. The restaurant’s signature seafood, steak, pasta, and raw bar menu, along with its craft cocktail culture, live music schedule, genuine hospitality, and cool breezes quickly earned Boca “Connecticut’s Best New Restaurant” (CT Magazine) accolade and a reputation for producing off the chart events.
Steelpointe Restaurant Group is thrilled to present Boca Grille and Raw Bar to Fairfield and Peter and Yanni are excited to continue their community and charity support with another location from which to produce their numerous fundraisers, host local city functions and professional networking events, as well as provide a beautiful backdrop for residents and visitors to enjoy milestone celebrations.
“It’s a new day," beams Yanni. “The future is looking bright and so is our patio!”
