St. Moritz Grill & Bar

About

On the water. Over the fire.

Hardwood flames, seasonal plates, and hospitality rooted in Lake Mohawk.

The Grill

Cooking over hardwood is a craft

Our wood grill runs at intense heat — dancing flames, smoke, and embers that build texture and flavor you can’t get from a conventional oven. Oak, poplar, apple, and cherry are paired with each dish for character you taste in every bite.

From the moment you approach the door, the aroma of the grill sets the tone. Welcome to the experience.

Our Story

A Sparta landmark, reimagined

Proprietor Keith Holmes began washing dishes at fifteen in Chicago, worked every station through school, and later co-founded the award-winning Redwoods Grill & Bar in Chester, NJ. In 2012 he acquired St. Moritz — drawn by Lake Mohawk’s charm and the chance to bring exacting hospitality to this longtime plaza destination.

“From the first time my wife, Marcella, and I visited Sparta, we were immediately captivated by the town’s charm.”
— Keith Holmes, Proprietor
