As Donald Trump prepares for inauguration day, the Trump Grill has been the subject of brutal critique.
On Wednesday, Vanity Fair published a harsh takedown of the Trump Tower restaurant, saying the grill "could be the worst restaurant in America."
The next day, the president-elect tweeted: "Has anyone looked at the really poor numbers of @VanityFair Magazine. Way down, big trouble, dead! Graydon Carter, no talent, will be out!"
Eager to get to the bottom of the controversy, Business Insider visited Trump Grill to see if the restaurant deserves the media's hate or Trump's support.
Trump Grill (or Grille — the naming is inconsistent on signage) is located in the basement of Trump Tower, on Fifth Avenue at 57th Street.
Visiting Trump Grill in December 2016 is a very different experience than it was even a year ago. To get into Trump Tower, you need to be searched, and the building is mobbed with press, Trump supporters, and gawkers.
When we arrived at 3 p.m., the hostess told us the wait would be 20 minutes but that she would call us when our table was ready.
