TAMPA, FL  – Del Frisco’s Grille, the winner of the 2012 Hot Concepts Award presented by Nation’s Restaurant News, will open its first Florida West Coast location next year at MetWest International.

“We are thrilled to bring Del Frisco’s Grille and our warm, genuine hospitality to MetWest International Tampa,” said Mark S. Mednansky, CEO of Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group. 

“Whether you’re headed to a Tampa Bay Bucs’ game – or checking out the Yankees during Spring Training, our roof deck will be the perfect place to enjoy Ahi Tacos and a cold local beer or prime steak and an amazing glass of wine from our extensive list.  All of our dishes – like our hand-crafted flatbreads – are easy to share, even if you’re just popping in after work with a group of friends.”

 “MetLife is proud to welcome a fourth new restaurant to Tampa Bay at MetWest International,” stated Chuck Davis, regional director of MetLife’s Tampa real estate investment office.

 “MetWest has become a dining destination for Tampa residents as well as the tenants of the development’s 750,000 square feet of office space. Del Frisco’s Grille with its unique rooftop bar nicely rounds out the dining options at MetWest joining Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant, Texas de Brazil and Kona Grill.”

 The Del Frisco’s Grille deal was brokered by Kalyn Brandewie of Florida Retail Partners representing MetLife and co-broker Ted Speros of ATS Realty representing Del Frisco’s Grille.

“We are thrilled that Del Frisco’s Grille is bringing its hot, new concept to MetWest,” said Kalyn Brandewie, Retail Leasing Broker for the development. “We were wowed by their Palm Beach location and knew they would be a great addition to MetWest.”


Del Frisco’s Grille is owned by Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group which is based in Southlake, Texas – just outside Dallas – which operates 39 restaurants across the country.  This will be the first Del Frisco’s Grille in the Tampa area.
