The owner of Potomac Pizza and Bagels ‘n Grinds will bring a high-end bar and grill to College Park next spring.
Located in the 150-room Cambria hotel under construction on Baltimore Avenue, College Park Grill will focus on classic entrees such as ribs, steaks, chicken and fish in an upscale setting.
Owner Adam Greenberg told the Hyattsville Wire that his goal is to create a “power breakfast, lunch and dinner spot” in College Park, with ample parking, midpoint pricing and classy touches like a wood-burning pizza oven and a baby grand piano with live jazz music on many nights.
The menu will include at least 100 wines, including 10 to 15 by the glass; 12 beers on tap; classic dishes like house-made spinach dip, salads and sandwiches; and seasonal touches like grilled artichoke.
“I’ve always dreamed of building a restaurant like this,” he said.
College Park Grill will join a growing local restaurant scene that includes the similar Old Maryland Grill at the Hotel at the University of Maryland, where Greenberg runs his pizza and bagel restaurants; Busboys and Poets in Hyattsville; and the upcoming Burtons Grill at Riverdale Park Station.
But Greenberg thinks there’s room for a place that’s classy but not too expensive. His goal is an average price of $35 per person for a dinner that includes two entrees, two drinks and a shared appetizer.
That fits the hotel, which is designed to be a more affordable hotel for the overflow from the Hotel at UMD, and should help provide a regular supply of customers.
