Completed in May 2009, this Capital Grille project includes a 14,000-square-foot interior fit-out of the ground floor plus mezzanine at the Time Life Building in Manhattan. EW Howell Construction Group was tasked with transforming the area from an empty space to an opulent restaurant in a few short months.

EW Howell contoured the Capital Grille to the space to make it accessible from the street and within the Time Life building lobby and underground concourse. Rich mahogany millwork, custom light fixtures, and brass detailing are present throughout the 2-story restaurant.

This Capital Grille location has several noteworthy features including floor-to-ceiling windows in the bar area, space to seat more than 350 diners, and multiple private dining rooms. A sprawling granite bar, 14-foot windows providing a dramatic view of the bustling streetscape, a 7,000 bottle wine room made of glass and mahogany, custom brass railings, and a signature exhibition kitchen with an arched doorway add to the luxurious atmosphere.
