Ross Derrick has made a name for himself in 琉璃神社, owning Broken Anchor and the Globe at Big White.

This June, the restaurateur will be taking on a new venture opening a steakhouse in the old Raudz location.

Derrick opened Broken Anchor to have more authority over his own schedule while being a single dad, but his dream was always for a steakhouse.

鈥淚鈥檝e been wanting to do this since I was 16,鈥� Derrick said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 always been in the back of my mind and we just had the timing be right.鈥�

The location on Water Street is undergoing minor renovations with plans to open mid-June.

Derrick鈥檚 Steakhouse is expected to be a place where you can go to mark all the highs and lows of life.

鈥淲e want to be classic, old school service, a place that鈥檚 known for hospitality when you come through the door.鈥�

Derrick said he wants the restaurant to be a place people can come for birthdays, divorces, anniversaries, funerals, first dates, and Mondays just because.

鈥淎 memory is a memory and we want to be the place鈥� like, where else are you going to go?鈥�

Watch for updates and an official opening date on the business鈥� and website .
