Trio Grill Joining Merrifield Restaurant Lineup

A new brasserie with outdoor dining space — and a piano — will join two other restaurants slated for the former Upscale Resale Consignment site in Merrifield.

Trio Grill will open in September at 8100 Lee Highway. The restaurant will have an upscale look, with mahogany interiors, brick walls, an outdoor covered patio and a separated cigar lounge. Expect steaks, pastas, seafood and a raw bar. Plus, there will be a piano at the bar, and cocktails.

Trio is going into the same shopping center as Open Road Grill & Icehouse, a country and rock & roll bar opening later this month, and Italian Market & Deli, which will serve wood-fired pizzas, subs and salads (also opening in September).

HapstakDemetriou+ Architects and Nicholas Lucarelli Architects are collaborating on the design for all three restaurants. The site is being redeveloped by the MHG Group, which also operates the Circa group of restaurants.
