After much speculation, Major Food Group’s new restaurants at the Seagram Building — which formerly held the Four Seasons Restaurant — will be renamed the Landmark, Page Six has exclusively learned.
The name’s short for “the Landmark Rooms” at the storied address. Restaurateurs Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi and Jeff Zalaznick, along with partner and landlord Aby Rosen, have been hard at work on the giant project, slated to open in the new year.
Inside will be two restaurants — a classic American called the Grill, and a modern seafood eatery named the Pool. (The famous landmarked pool will remain.)
The interior was designed by Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson, and is being restored and updated by Annabelle Selldorf and William T. Georgis.
Peter Marino’s designing a new restaurant downstairs in the Brasserie space, which is likely to keep the name.
The new Landmark name shouldn’t be confused with chef Marc Murphy’s Landmarc restaurants in Tribeca and in the Time Warner Center.
Major Food Group is also behind Carbone, Dirty French and Parm.
