Greg’s Steakhouse is kicking off Easter weekend tomorrow with a combination fifth anniversary and grand opening cocktail party.

The restaurant which was previously located at Port Royal Golf Course, and before that in Somerset, has been operating in Hamilton for about two months.

Owner Lorna Wilson said the new location — on the corner of Parliament and Church streets in the former Mediterreneo building — has attracted both core and new clientele.

“We are now finding that our lunch trade has expanded and are now serving more business clientele because of our location,” she said.

“Our move into Hamilton has given us the opportunity to be more accessible to a greater range of people.

“We have experienced more ‘sold out’ evenings in the shortest month of the year, than we had ever experienced in either of our two previous locations combined.”

Greg’s is the only licensed Certified Angus Beef Steakhouse in Bermuda.

Mrs. Wilson said when the restaurant first opened in Hamilton, the owners were still winding down at Port Royal Gold Course. Despite time pressures, they were keen to begin appealing to city diners.

“We knew we didn’t have the staff or infrastructure in place to cater to the high demand of the city, so Greg (Wilson) and Colin (Lloyd) creatively designed lunch and dinner menus, which we called our ‘sampler’ menus,” she said. “It gave our customers immediate service and an introduction to what was to come.”

Like any great steakhouse, Greg’s has paid much attention to its wine list.

“We have a wonderful selection of wines, which have been personally selected by Greg,” said Mrs. Wilson.

“Our current wine cellar consists of over 80 different varieties of wines and we anticipate an expansion over the next few months to over 100 bottles.”

Upstairs from the main restaurant Greg’s offers a private room for small groups and a lounge for mingling, the G-Spot, which plays host to a new Happy Hour on Fridays from 4-7 p.m.

Tomorrow’s cocktail party will begin at 4 p.m.
