Take a look inside The Grill, the luxurious, revamped version of the NYC restaurant that invented the power lunch

When the Four Seasons' Grill Room opened in 1959, it quickly became the dining room of choice for advertising and publishing industry executives.

The restaurant was located in a part of Midtown Manhattan that, at the time, was the epicenter of those industries. The Four Seasons was a sort of clubhouse where executives went to have their business lunches, earning it the unofficial title of the inventor of the power lunch.

The Four Seasons closed in the summer of 2016 following a rent hike and struggles with Aby Rosen, the restaurant's landlord at the Seagram Building. But, just a few months later, it reopened under new ownership as The Grill, which is described as "a classic, reinvented" on the restaurant's website.

We took a trip to the chophouse and chatted with Mario Carbone, executive chef of The Grill and co-founder of Major Food Group, about how the restaurant strikes a delicate balance between staying true to its history and staying true to the times.
