"One of the ultimate power lunch dens for the likes of Truman Capote, Henry Kissinger, and Jackie Kennedy Onassis while it housed the Four Seasons, this space got revamped by Major Food Group into the Grill (and its seafood-focused neighbor, the Pool). And, since June 2017, The Grill has been replicating its splashy lunchtime roots with an expense-account-worthy midday menu of salads, sandwiches, steaks and other carnivore-friendly fare, in a meticulously renovated, luxe room. Request one of the booths on the main level to see and be seen." - Alexandra Ilyashov
"The Pool — the ambitious seafood restaurant within the former Four Seasons Restaurant space in Midtown’s Seagram Building — is no more after two years, now merging with its critically acclaimed neighbor, the Grill, according to Major Food Group managing partner Jeff Zalaznick. The Pool and the Grill will still retain their distinct designs, he says, but will only serve the Grill’s meaty, nostalgic menu, save for a few additions from the Pool menu including the halibut with fennel sauce and clams, the beet millefeuille, and the turbot." - Tanay Warerkar
"The Pool Lounge, previously known as the Four Seasons Pool Room and managed by Major Food Group, closed last year for renovations due to unapproved changes made to the landmarked space. It is set to reopen on January 18." - Tanay Warerkar
"The duo behind Major Food Group’s Carbone, The Pool and ZZ’s Clam Bar." - Abbe Baker
"To celebrate the holiday, the neighboring restaurants are collaborating on a joint prix-fixe menu for $165 per person." - Aaron Hutcherson
