Kitchen improvements over the past few weeks have included making the Crown Grill kitchen completely separate from that of their adjacent sister restaurant, Circus Café. “We are happy to have two separate chefs and two separate kitchens to allow for more creativity, a distinct, separate identity and enhanced guest accommodation in each restaurant,” said co-owner Christel MacLean. in a press release. Chef Brian Maxwell is running The
Crown Grill kitchen. A seasoned Chef, Brian has spent the last 13 years at award winning Villago and Village Pizzeria.
“As previously reported, with the opportunities presented to us by our other business, Saratoga Juice Bar, we found ourselves with limited time and put The Crown Grill on the market. When a suitable buyer did not materialize by late spring we decided to have some fun and make this a really wonderful summer with a terrific full dinner menu, new bar additions and entertainment twice a week,” said co-owner Colin MacLean in the release.
The Crown Grill is located at 390 Broadway in downtown Saratoga Springs.
