WORCESTER RESTAURANT GROUP

Long before the explosive — and exciting — growth of today’s local restaurant scene, the Ahlquist family brought Worcester a first taste of what a real restaurant can be like. It started in 1979 with The Sole Proprietor, a place that started off as the best seafood restaurant in town and went on to earn national attention for its food and wine.

When we opened 111 Chop House in 1999, Worcester had a restaurant that could go up against any steakhouse in Boston, Chicago, or New York. Then in 2007 we added VIA, a place where Italian flavors mix with a distinctly American vibe to create a uniquely enjoyable dining experience.

Today we’re still at the forefront of Worcester’s dining scene. Whether your interest is innovative cuisine or timeless classics, a special occasion or a lively bar scene, our restaurants are always the perfect choice.

ONE ELEVEN CHOP HOUSE

In quality, presentation and flavor, 111 Chop House stands with the best steakhouses in New York, Chicago, Kansas City, Las Vegas and Boston. Worcester’s media have repeatedly voted it both top steakhouse and best fine dining experience.
