The Grill is one of the best restaurants in New York. First off, the space is gorgeous. One of the most elegant dining rooms I've seen, with a beautiful bar. The service is the best of the best. Everything operates efficiently with ease. Nothing feels rushed. If it's in your wheelhouse, do the caviar service. It comes with fresh baby pancakes, hash browns, sour cream, and all the accouterments. It's special. Every dish on the menu is perfection. The pasta press is an absolute MUST. It's one of the best, most layered pasta dishes I've had in my life. Very special. The Dover sole is the best meuniere I've had. For a side, the gnocchi dumplings are incredible. Dessert is mandatory. They're known for their rotating crueler flavors and lemon chiffon cake. I love the baked Alaska. One of the best dining experiences of all time. It's one of those places that makes you truly grateful for the experience - there's no where you'd rather be. read more

We celebrated our first family reunion in New York here, and it was absolutely beautiful with such an upscale vibe! The food was fabulous -- we ordered salads, crab cakes, vegetables, and two prime ribs (perfect size for four). By default, all prime ribs are cooked to a perfect medium rare, and they even served ours halved -- just right for sharing! We started with cocktails and ended with wine and dessert cakes, which made the evening even more special. From the moment we entered to the time we left, the service and atmosphere felt like stepping into another world. Pricing is on the higher end -- easily $200+ per person -- but for the quality and experience, it feels well worth it. As for the dress code, it shouldn't be a problem -- just avoid shorts and athletic wear. Clean, upscale casual is perfectly fine, though you'll also see people dressed very elegantly. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience! read more

Went with family for Friday night dinner to celebrate a birthday. Made reservation weeks in advance - hoping to have a table in the grand dining room for an enjoyable birthday celebration. We were seated at the worst table - the first table right in front of the stairs in the bar /lounge area. Table was in a high traffic area as everyone entering the restaurant and bar area passed by- the loud music and noise from the bar did not allow for much conversation . Dining experience was like eating at a bar restaurant for a very expensive steak dinner . By no means was this a memorable celebratory birthday meal. Do not recommend dining as being seated in the bar area was not enjoyable read more

if you want truly amazing steak go to Wolfgang's Tribeca or 4 Charles. The atmosphere in this place is amazing. You will have a good time. The service is also really good but the food is truly mediocre and it's just not worth it. I am happy to spend money on food as long as it's good. This is meh. read more

I totally would recommend this location. The staff welcomed you with open arms and I felt very wanted. The price point for the meal I felt was appropriate. I had the honey mustard duck! I'm a sucker for duck so it was easy for me to make that decision. I had the crispy hash brown as an appetizer/side. I also tried the screwdriver as a drink, which had a nice twist on a classic drink. It is sweet so beware, but that was OK with me. I did like the staircase, entering the location and the nice clean tables and lines. I never felt that my money was wasted here. This would be a great location for dates, group parties, and even just a great night out with a little bit of money in your pocket. Job well done! read more

Originally the building housed the Seagram's Corporation. What a gorgeous, historic space - high ceiling, yet quiet and elegant for our afternoon meal. Alex, the Henry served us and each lent something different and wonderful to our meal experience. Both were attentive, knowledgable and able to lift a story or two when engaged about the restaurant. They spoke with pride and knowledge. So enjoyable! The Pumpkin Soup was incredibly flavorful. Loved the crunchy pumpkin seed garnish too!My companion's Steak Florentine was declared, BEST EVER! The sides of Broccolini and Grilled mushrooms were simple and wonderful. My Duck was hot, crisp and the flavors popped! Finished with a splendid espresso. What a meal! read more

This was probably one of the best meals of my life! When you walk in, the space is clean and classic. No frills but simple elegance. The service is attentive but not overly annoying. All the staff is so knowledgeable. Now onto the important stuff... the food! We started with the pasta appetizer. They literally bring a press to your table to see how they make the broth. It was divine! The chopped salad was simple but perfect. The main event prime rib was everything I had hoped for and loved! They cut it tableside and it was a perfect slice. Not overly fatty. We ended the night with a little flambé baked Alaska bc who doesn't love a little fire! Cannot wait to go back read more

A NYC standard with a fantastic bar. Lots of corporate cards all around and people watching one another. Not my fave scene as I'm here for great food, cocktails, and wine. While the service intends to deliver a wonderful experience - it comes across as pretentious and falls short in a few areas. My martini was blah and we had to wait for our wine from a sommelier who seemed simply uninterested. The start of the night was the pasta a la presse. It's certainly a nice space and I would stay away from heavily trafficked areas and get a table where you can see the whole dining room. It's lost a bit of its luster for me. read more

My experience at The Grill was nothing short of amazing from beginning to finish. The restaurant is absolutely stunning, feels like you're dining in a classic restaurant in the 1960s; glamorous.

Incredible dinner and steak. Service is top notch and extremely attentive. While they have all the standard steakhouse favorites, they have some twists and really unique dishes that stands out with other steakhouses in NYC. Cannot go wrong here at all. The beef is absolutely out of this world. Had a double cut Chateau Briand, pasta and crab cake for appetizers. The restaurant itself is a vibe. A large bar area with music isolated away from a double floor sitting area. read more

A truly gorgeous place to step back in time with glamour and class. My friend had just undergone a knee replacement, so while our hosts escorted her via elevator, I climbed the sweeping stairs up to the majestic dining room and bar. Definitely a special occasion destination -- it isn't cheap -- but the food, service, and ambience made it worthwhile. Erin absolutely nailed the wine pairings for the Dover sole and duck we shared. Carly, the GM, made a point of checking in, and the level of hospitality throughout was next-level: bussers clearing and resetting seamlessly, and our server Henry masterfully deboning the sole tableside. Desserts were over the top (in the best way), and by the end of lunch I had certainly overindulged -- all I really needed was a wafer-thin mint. A memorable afternoon all around. read more

Worth the experience? Yes! Would I come back? Maybe. Came for the duck press dish (Pasta a la Presse) as that is not something that is found at restaurants anymore. They basically take the duck and some other herbs and spices and 'smush it' with a vintage duck press and then use that broth for the pasta. Definitely worth a one time $41 order for the experience, history behind the dish, but it honestly wasn't very flavorful. We also got the Prime Rib which was supposedly spit roasted, but because it came with zero sides and was $98 for just the cut of meat.. I felt like you could get it anywhere else for better value with similar, if not same taste. We then got the Honey Mustard Duckling ($61) which was essentially a Chinese roasted duck with a nice glaze of honey 'sweet and sour like' sauce. Worth it if you've never had duck! Service was great, and the ambiance was impeccable as everyone was extremely attentive and the food was very pleasant especially thanks to the little shows and table side service. read more

Mad Men meets Major Food Group, the Grill is what happens when someone decides to build a restaurant around table-side presentation. Service is attentive, if a bit over-the-top. Want the servers to make the salad, omelette, dessert, pasta all at your table? Why not! The food? Very good steakhouse classics. The prime rib, alleged the star of the show, was sold out the day I went but everything else was still fantastic. The squab, ribeye, crab cake were all awesome. There is, however, one negative. This restaurant is expensive. Like, absurdly expensive, even by NYC steakhouse standards. I think I paid a hundred bucks for a plate of ham. Was it great ham? Of course! Was it hundred bucks good? A bit dubious. I think you should definitely come here, just come when you can get that boss/friend/rich aunt who owes you a dinner to pay. read more

This review is for dinner. Came here on a Friday evening for an early Valentine's Day celebration. It's pricey and a bit old school (think, 70 year old white men - we were one of the youngest diners), but overall I enjoyed my meal and would recommend. I think it's a good option for a celebration (birthday, anniversary, etc.) Ambiance / Service: has slightly "Mad Men" vibes - waiters in bow ties, dark wood etc. Some of the decor feels a bit outdated, but overall it's more traditional/ fancy. I would definitely recommend dressing up for dinner. It's pretty lively too - we left around 10pm and it was still packed. Service was good, but slow. Food: we ordered too much and split the below amongst two. Overall all the food was really good. Quite pricey for some of what you get, but that's to be expected. -50g Caviar: yummmm. Comes tons of sides (crème fraise, chives, onion, boiled egg, tiny hashbrowns, blinis, and mini toasts). -3 oz Crab Leg: this was a special. Meat is already taken out for you. Comes with 3 sauces. It was good, but not worth $95. Hard to picture what 3 ounces of crab would be like, but it was TINY, especially to share. -Pasta a la Presse: get this, even just for the experience. They partially make table side with a crazy contraption that looks like it's from the early 1900's. Hard to describe the flavor - very rich, has a smokiness to it almost like BBQ. Perfect size to split between 2. -The Seagram Crab Cake: loved. Thin crispy potato topper was so good. Probably would need 2 if sharing with 4 people. -Ribeye: cooked and seasoned perfectly. Love the roasted garlic that comes with it. -Honey Mustard Duckling: cooked perfectly. The skin is delicious. Honestly was one too many dishes we ordered though. -Hashbrown o Brien: good side dish. -Caramel Apple Stack: not too sweet. Very dense and moist. Almost has a pound cake consistency. It was decent, but didn't blow me away. Not sure I'd order again. read more

To start off their food was very good. The vibe was fancy but casual. But the best part was how they handled my allergy. At the beginning of each course my waiter would debrief each meal that I could have and I couldn't read more

You like iconic New York...you like power lunch a la 1981...well, this is it. You feel like you stepped back in time when you go here...this harkens to the days when New York was the power center of the world. You are just waiting for Gordon Gekko to stroll across the room...it feels like that. The bar and dining room make you feel like you are about to embark on a great adventure and you can hardly wait...and fasten your seat belts because here it comes. As for the food, you don't need the menu here...order the avocado, crab salad to start and the prime rib. Both are their specialties and both the salad and prime rib are prepared at your table. The steak is served with beef bone, which they season and bake separately. Outstanding. While the food is great...what really makes this place is the ambience. It is the power center in New York and you need to go here every once in a while to remind yourself you are in the best city in the world. You want the kicker? Original Andy Warhols in the lobby. Yes...you are in New York! Service on point as always. read more

1 star The Grill: Where Glamour Goes to Die I've been coming to The Grill for years. I've always admired the space--the architecture, the history, the romance of it all. It was once a jewel of New York dining. What I experienced last night was a total betrayal of that legacy. I brought a friend visiting from Paris, hoping to share a bit of New York's classic steakhouse magic. We were 15 minutes late due to a thunderstorm--understandable in any major city. Instead of grace, we were met with smugness. "Your table's been canceled," they said--then magically found one a minute later. The attitude? Suffocating. Right before being seated, we were informed we had 75 minutes to finish dinner. Yes, a literal time limit on vintage champagne and prime rib. Are we at JFK or a steakhouse? The staff didn't seem to care about providing an enjoyable or gracious experience--it was a ticking clock to flip the table and maximize the bill, all while making you feel like an uninvited guest at your own dinner. To make things worse, my guest has a disability--he's hard of hearing and deaf in one ear. Any time he asked for clarification or for someone to repeat themselves, they looked at him like he was an alien. The staff acted visibly annoyed, as though accommodating someone's basic needs was somehow beneath them. Is this really how we treat people now? With irritation and contempt for needing to hear clearly in a loud restaurant? Our other Parisian friend stopped by to say a quick hello and have a martini. We were at a large corner banquette with plenty of room, but were told she couldn't join us unless we moved to the bar--mid-dinner. So we were shuffled to a cocktail table the size of a Frisbee, surrounded by crowds and chaos. And then came the pièce de résistance: just as our prime rib arrived--our grand, dramatic steakhouse moment--a very large man standing double-parked at the bar literally imposed his entire backside over our tiny table, and ripped a fart directly into our faces. We were crop-dusted with our dinner. We asked them to cancel the mains. They brought them anyway--plus extra food we didn't order, as if force-feeding us would fix the experience. The staff were visibly miserable. The energy was oppressive. The vibe? Like stepping into a haunted version of mid-century glamour where the ghosts have all quit out of frustration. We spent over $1,000 on food for two and a martini for one, and left feeling disrespected, stressed, and honestly--scammed. If The Grill responds to this review, I fully expect the same cold, robotic, customer-service speak we received all night. A beautiful room doesn't make up for soulless hospitality. JFK and Marilyn would be rolling in their well-dressed graves if they saw what this place has become. And as for Sophia? She won't be jumping in the pool--the water's toxic. read more

I have to say.......I love the Grill. I have been many times! But the experience I had at Christmas was awful. I could not eat the prime rib as it was too salty and I could not cut the meat with my knife. The sides were salty as well! Very disappointing Christmas Day lunch. read more

Finally made it here with a friend for lunch. I was never able to rationalize the $ when it was the Four Seasons. I'm still not sure that I can rationalize it, but YOLO. The dining room is a beautiful, composed, clubby space. The service was impeccable. Engaged and friendly but not in your face. I started off with a well made martini. My buddy and I split a crab Louis salad. It blew me away. Ir was one of the best first courses that I have ever had. My buddy had the branzino with salsa verde. He loved it. I had the snapper with coleslaw and chow chow. Ir was really good. We had the lemon chiffon cake for dessert. My buddy loved it. I liked it but would have traded it for a slice of coconut cake. The prices are not for the faint of heart, especially the red meat. You can have a relatively inexpensive lunch if you opt for a cheeseburger or a club sandwich. Otherwise, you might as well go there for dinner. This is an iconic restaurant that's worth experiencing once, unless you have to take out a payday loan in order to do so. read more

Had an enjoyable dinner at the grill on a Monday night at 8pm. We were seated at our table upon arrival, and the dining room was super lively despite it being a Monday night. Service throughout the evening was prompt and helpful. For dinner we ordered the caviar service, crudités, whole grilled young chicken and dover sole. The caviar service here is truly impressive and served with ALL the accoutrements. The dover sole was also very delicious and served table side which added a nice pizzaz. I didn't love the flavor of the whole grilled chicken but everything else was lovely. read more

The Grill somehow manages to thread the needle of "fancy," "theatrical," and still "relaxed." The ambience is refined, the service is exceptional, and, despite being served by people in tuxedos and seeing your food being presented in a trolley with a silver dome, you still feel relaxed and able to enjoy the meal. And the food is delicious. We shared: tuna ravigote (refreshing, light), pasta a la presse (the definition of "theatrical," and also very rich in flavor), honey mustard duckling (crispy skin, tender meat, mustard sauce with a delightful kick to it), and the prime rib (amazing texture and flavor). For dessert, I recommend the lemon chiffon and the cruller. Drinks are strong. Highly recommend for a special dinner; it's an experience you won't forget. read more

Food was simply not good. Most meals were either undercooked (fish) or over cooked (meat) and service was slow.

The Grill might be a faded glory. It's Christmas, maybe that's why it was so disorganized today but, terrible timing, because Christmas is when you want everything to feel special, and at The Grill you are paying a premium for service and ambiance, on top of food. I've been many times over the years, when it was the Four Seasons and after it re-opened as The Grill in 2017. Sometimes for business meetings, sometimes for personal celebrations. Today is Christmas 2025 and my father-in-law booked The Grill for a festive holiday meal for five. He made these plans in October, as a thoughtful antidote to the passing of his brother-in-law earlier this fall. He's elegant, reserved, and understated yet he was visibly embarrassed by our meal today. The dramatic room with the crystal chandelier (that is frequently photographed and the room I've always been in) is much nicer than the adjacent room we were in with an incongruous stagnant water feature. There were live musicians playing piano and singing Christmas songs on an upper bar; they were over-amplified below by oddly placed speakers creating the effect of constructive interference which made the atmosphere cacophonous and conversation a concerted effort. The service was awkward, third tier, but it felt like the inefficiency came from higher up the food chain. I felt empathy for the servers who were probably getting yelled at in the kitchen and then having to deliver food hours after it was ordered (and meanwhile they were working on Xmas, not celebrating with their families). I also felt empathy for the patrons who were paying a lot for a special meal. Everything was off. There were dozens of staff marching around - endless parades. There was an intense red-faced bald sergeant who looked like he might be on the hunt for Jason Bourne. The food took an hour+ between courses and it was a prix fixe menu which made the delays harder to explain. It felt like a wedding - fish or steak? We all ordered steak but hours later they started to put plates of the fish in front of us, choreographed like a dance; taken away just as quickly when we told them we were steak. It took another 30 minutes and a mention to the Sargent by my husband that we'd been waiting for hours. Then the table was like a first draft essay: redundant, disorganized, haphazard, rushed, chaotic. The sides were served family style. For five of us, they brought out two bowls of the five sides - ten bowls. In person, they apologized to my in-laws for the experience but didn't follow through. A female fixer graciously said the drinks would be comped but they were not. It was the principle not the savings, as three of us had Diet Coke or water. My in-laws noticed when the bill came but were fatigued and too dignified to wait for it to be resolved. The other kind gesture intended to compensate for the mediocrity fell flat; they treated us to a bowl of ice cream with olive oil, salt and white savory truffles to share in addition to the dessert course of cookies and Yule log. We each tasted it, but cringed when the flavors melted together. A very particular flavor profile that might be best experienced with cannabis. I typically enjoy sweet savory culinary experiments without THC, but this was an odd discordant choice on a cold winter night. Which brings me to a final ambiance issue. The room was cold. There was cold air - like air conditioned air - blowing down on us. We sat, hugging ourselves in warm sweaters, to generate body heat. It was obviously hilariously disappointing. So many things were off, it's hard to guess a scapegoat except maybe the holiday itself or an overall decline in quality or both. read more

I came to The Grill with my boyfriend for our 3 year anniversary. The spot is upscale and traditional. We are in our early-mid 20s and were also the youngest people there by far haha. We started off at the bar with some drinks since our table wasn't ready yet. The cocktails were about $26 each. As for food, they provide bread - a wheat sliced bread, sourdough twists, and bread rolls - on the house. The bread rolls were incredible and we asked for more, which was also complimentary. For mains, we ordered the ribeye, black bass, chopped salad, and sautéed spinach on the side (not explicitly on the menu but they were happy to make it). The ribeye was super tender but a taddd salty. The black bass was paired with a minty sauce. The chopped salad featured a variety of different ingredients and textures. Overall everything was super yummy. My boyfriend also asked for a lemon chiffon cake for our anniversary which was super light and sweet. I also want to add that the service here was incredible. Our captain was super understanding and on top of everything. We mentioned we had to leave by a certain time and she ensured we received all our food in a timely manner and had the check taken care of by then. Overall, yummy food but be prepared to spend! The cheapest entree on the menu, aside from salads, is like $45+. The steaks are in the $80-100 range. read more

Went there to celebrate my friend's birthday and it was amazing! Our server Anna was friendly and very knowledgeable about their menu. We ordered pasta a la presse, prime rib, honey duckling and oyster. Of course I ordered the baked Alaska as our dessert and all the flavor were spot on. I had a few very expensive restaurants in NYC but a lot of them fall short in terms of food. I would definitely come back to try other items. The whole place was art deco and a bit old school fine dining but honestly nothing wrong with that. read more

Outstanding! Upscale but not stuffy. Our server was amazing, funny and on point with her recommendations. And at no point we're we being rushed which is always appreciated. Is it expensive here? Sure is. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Order a martini and take in the restaurant while you contemplate what to order. It will be tough since you probably can't go wrong with anything on the menu. If you're wondering what to wear, it really ranges. There were people in jeans and sweaters and others in suits and dresses. So, dress as you please but I'd opt for something on the nicer side. read more

The Grill is so Old School and Classy. I feel this is more of a post work formal dinner or a place you'd like to quietly celebrate or have a great time while having a deep conversation. Nothing too showy, but subdued glam. I really liked how their is so much theatrics and entertainment to highlighting their foods So many dishes served table side, those little banters are so fun. We had a few Martinis, steak tartare was very good, blue crab gumbo (must order), Avocado Crab Louie (must order), Cajun Snapper (ok.), and Prime Rib (love the cart). Love to return soon. read more

To say this place is expensive doesn't give justice to the final bill you will receive so let's ignore that for now... The menu has a few unusual items on it and everything is a flavor wonderland. To start I had the PASTA a la PRESSE. Some appetizers are large enough to share family style. Is this one? Probably not, but then again, is it fair to keep this dish all to yourself? I am not sure what the answer etiquette would dictate is but my thoughts where lost enough in the dish to not consider it. Parts of a duck, squab, pheasant are roasted and pressed into a sauce (table side) that is poured over pasta. Yes, it is divine. For the main course, I had the Prime Rib - Spit Roasted, Deviled Bone. Yes, you could ask for end pieces, but I missed out on that call. What I still received, however, makes Lawry's look like the amateur hour. The rub used on the meat made for another divine dish. So what about the Deviled Bone? Yes, what is on your main plate is carved away, but that doesn't mean you miss out on the meat from the bone since that is still served here on a separate plate. Think of it as dessert for your main course! I almost never partake in dessert. However, having the Lemon CHIFFON at the table made that fact into a weakness as well, since it was simply wonderful too. There was a bottle of wine at the table too. The wine list could double the price of dinner without much effort, but by choosing a cheaper option here, we managed to find not only a fairly valued pick but one that also complemented the meal to make it even better. read more

One star for a restaurant that promotes itself as a landmark with superior food requires some explanation. Ours is based on a Friday night visit for six of us. First, remember this building once housed the famous Four Seasons restaurant, and as such it is landmarked and changes are all but verboten. So you get a real '50s and '60s vibe stepping up into the restaurant, where the waiter are quite formally attired. We were seated at a table on the upper level overlooking the main floor; it allowed us to watch diners. Regrettably our table for six had two of us at the ends so far removed that we could not talk to anyone save our partner sitting next to us. That's annoying since good conversation is the best accompaniment to good food. Not a problem here, though, because the recorded music throughout the dining experience was wretched, thoughtless and loud. Loud enough to minimize conversation. The is supposed to be a classy restaurant, but not when you cannot talk because you are forced to listen to Little Richard and Ray Charles at their rock 'n roll best and noisiest. Crazy! We complained - nothing was done. The music is wildly inappropriate and too dammed loud. And so to the food. There's good and bad here. To begin with, expect to pay top dollar Steaks are around $100 or more, a dozen oysters on the half shell is $60, soups $30, salads $27 and $41, lobster Newberg $150. If we thought it was worth the price, we would say so, but our meal was not. The lobster was seriously overcooked, chewy as a result. Poor work in the kitchen. Crab Louise is not Bibb lettuce with crab pieces on top. The steaks were very good, cooked properly and seasoned. But the crab cakes were under-flavored and crusty. The grits were -- well, let's just say no one from the South was involved in their tasteless preparation. Good grief, this was not what we paid for. Their wine list is good, and we enjoyed a splendid bottle of Burgundy. For the most part the wait staff was attentive and helpful, a little slow to clear the table but alert to our dining needs all through the evening. The cocktail menu is large and varied and expect to pay premium prices. A screwdriver is $26. Four Roses Bourbon limited edition is $65 although we've bought a bottle for about the same price. But enough. You get the drift. Giving one star is sort of provocative, but our expectations were very high when we arrived, and we were clearly disappointed and overspent terribly. We think diners coming here deserve at least a caution before proceeding. read more

Amazing service and beautiful ambiance! Food was a little underwhelming and pricey. Best thing we ordered was the avocado crab Louie salad. I wasn't expecting much but ended up loving it. They make it table side and every ingredient is so fresh and delicious, esp the crab and the homemade dressing. Also loved the Alit Pinot (2017) from Oregon, the complimentary bread to start, and the pressed pasta was pretty novel and tasty. The prime rib was underwhelming and didn't stand up to 4 Charles Prime Rib. I think the problem is they roll it around on a cart all night so when it gets to you, it's lukewarm if not a little on the cold side. The duck was cooked well but the sauce was far too sweet for my personal taste so I wasn't able to eat more than one piece. I'd be willing to come back but would probably skip the prime rib and duck and try something else next time! read more
