Midcentury steakhouse serving classic dishes with tableside theatrics




























"With fireplaces and a clear view of the trails, this on-mountain dining room made for a cozy perch between runs when we had access through membership." - Jess Feldman Jess Feldman Jess Feldman is a special projects editor for Travel + Leisure, where she manages the brand's annual World's Best Awards—a long-standing, reader-based travel awards program.

"The Grill routinely draws finance types, high-powered lawyers, and people who choose restaurants based on where they can see themselves closing some sort of deal. But even if you don’t fall into any of these categories, a meal here is genuinely a worthwhile experience. The massive dining room (previously home to the Four Seasons) has a dramatic bronze sculpture hanging from the ceiling, prime people-watching, and both a prime rib cart and a duck press that servers operate tableside. It’s one of the best shows in Midtown." - bryan kim, kenny yang, will hartman
"The Grill has special occasion in its DNA, and it's our favorite place to celebrate something big on short notice. Did you just win the lottery? Hop in a cab, and head to Midtown East. If a lunchtime steak isn’t in the cards for you, try the chilled pea soup with cream swirled on top like a cappuccino, or the avocado crab louis salad that's prepared tableside. A lunchtime martini should also make an appearance." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah

"American grill restaurant located in the food hall at gates 60 to 69." - Nadia Chaudhury
"If you’re going to spend several hundred dollars on a splashy special occasion dinner, you better get some free bread out of it. At The Grill in Midtown East, it’s a basket with soft pretzel sticks, brown crusty bread, and buttery rolls. Plus a quenelle of chive butter that tastes like scallion cream cheese, if it were the richest kid in school." - sonal shah, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman
