The Grill

The Grill occupies the Seagram Building at 99 East 52nd Street, where dining takes place in landmarked rooms shaped by midcentury design. The setting carries the polished character of classic Manhattan restaurants, with formal service, tailored surroundings and an atmosphere suited to a business lunch, evening celebration or carefully planned night out.

The menu follows the American chophouse tradition, focusing on expertly prepared meat and classic restaurant cooking rather than a casual or trend-led format. A considered wine and spirits selection supports the food, while the dining room’s service style gives the experience a ceremonial quality. The Grill is the successor to the former Four Seasons restaurant that occupied the same notable rooms, and its character remains closely tied to the building’s architectural and dining history.

Lunch is served on weekdays, while dinner runs from Monday through Saturday. The restaurant asks guests to dress for the occasion, with shorts, open-toed shoes, tank tops, athletic wear and baseball caps not permitted. That policy makes the venue better suited to smart, occasion-focused dining than spontaneous casual meals.

Private dining is available in two rooms within The Grill. The Salon accommodates up to 15 seated guests, while the Gallery accommodates up to 22. The adjoining Pool event space provides larger-format options, including seated functions and receptions, and can be booked alongside The Grill for substantial gatherings.

For travellers arriving in New York from the Whitsundays, The Grill offers a distinctly formal Manhattan restaurant experience in an architecturally significant setting. Its appeal lies in the combination of American chophouse cooking, midcentury interiors, attentive service and a dress-conscious approach. The location also places it within easy reach of Midtown offices, hotels and cultural destinations, making it a practical choice for a planned lunch or evening reservation.
