Amazing New Update

As we move through design concepts for what will become the "new" London Grill -- we've discussed taking the amazing space that is the roof of The Benson Hotel and making it a rooftop, urban garden.  We can now become better integrated with local farmers, sustainable practices, organic and fresh purveyors.  Here's an idea of what the roof might look like.

We've retained a designer and will share the look and feel of carpet, interiors, fabrics, furnishings, finishes and more -- soon!  So, stay tuned!

New Concepts

The new concepts are starting to take shape - we're looking at removing the flooring - old heavy carpets with cork underflooring and taking the space that has been the London Grill to its cement or granite beginnings.  We envision a more rustic approach to the space.  The feel would be that of a wine cellar or rustic farmhouse with warmly stained floors - easy to maintain, warm and inviting.  The image provides some sense of what the floors and cozy, recessed lighting ambiance.
