A new chophouse has set up shop in Mesa, and it comes with a side of global flavor. The William New American Chophouse & Bar held its grand opening Monday near Power and Ray roads, bringing feast boards, wine flights and craft cocktails to the Gallery Park development.
The restaurant blends traditional chophouse fare with influences from around the world, according to KTAR News 92.3 FM. Its menu features shareable feast boards alongside wine flights and craft cocktails, giving diners a mix of classic steakhouse staples and dishes with a broader culinary reach.
A Spot Built Into a Growing Mesa Development
The William sits right next to a recently opened 174-room dual-brand Hilton property, which houses the Tempo by Hilton Gallery Park and the Homewood Suites Phoenix at the Mesa Airport, the same report notes. That pairing puts the new chophouse within easy reach of travelers staying near Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport as well as locals exploring the growing corridor.
Gallery Park itself is a mixed-use development from VIVO Development Partners, situated near Loop 202 and Power Road. The project's blend of hospitality and dining additions suggests the area is positioning itself as a destination for both overnight guests and nearby residents looking for a night out.
Part of a Broader Valley Dining Boom
The William's debut lands amid a steady wave of new openings across the region. Close to 20 new restaurants swept into Greater Phoenix during October, according to PHOENIX magazine, underscoring how active the Valley's restaurant scene has been heading into the colder months. For Mesa diners, The William adds one more option to that expanding lineup, right at the doorstep of one of the East Valley's newer mixed-use hubs.
