KōLE Chophouse

KōLE Chophouse gives the former Wilbur Chocolate building a contemporary dining identity centered on fire. Its North Broad Street kitchen uses a Josper grill fueled by charcoal, with beef selected from producers in the United States, Australia and Japan. The restaurant presents the origin and character of its cuts as central to the meal rather than relying on elaborate seasoning.

Chef Max Fanton leads the culinary project. A detailed local report published in September–October 2026 documents the change from Blackworth to KōLE on March 5, 2025. Travelers using older hotel or destination pages may still encounter the previous name; the current restaurant and reservations operate as KōLE Chophouse.

The house advertises American and Australian Wagyu alongside Japanese beef, including Kobe. Availability depends on the evolving menu, and diners interested in a particular origin or cut should confirm it when reserving. The restaurant explicitly treats the online menu as a changing snapshot rather than a permanent inventory.

Dinner service is offered across the week, with different opening times on weekdays and weekends. The bar and lounge continue later than the dining service, so a late closing time should not be read as an equally late full-menu kitchen. For visitors prioritizing the quality of the main ingredient and a dedicated dinner, KōLE offers a specific, verifiable culinary focus in the center of Lititz.
