The Trump Grill has been the subject of brutal critique.

In December, 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 after Trump's election but before his inauguration to see if the restaurant deserves the media's hate or Trump's support.
