The renovation plans promise a 'bigger, and better, luxurious offering' to the popular Leeds eatery.
Restaurant Bar & Grill is about to undergo a serious makeover.
A £2 million one to be precise.
Inspired by the grandeur of New York's Grand Central Station, the relaunch will see the already well-known venue step up a notch with a brand new entrance, marble floors and deep walnut panelling.
A new feature bar will be the centre of attention, along with the new olive green leather banquettes.

Naturally upon reopening visitors will be able to expect the perfect space to host private events, learn how to make cocktails with masterclass workshops and brunch, lunch and dinner date their way through the week in an all-the-more exciting setting.
The menu is big on steak, but the makeover will also see the installation of a Southbend Steakhouse Grill - the secret to cooking an even steak every single time.
RGB utilises relationships across the British Isles, Australia and Argentina to serve Belted Galloway and the Black Angus, and a 35-day dry-ageing process ensures that depth of flavour is locked in - and sounds delicious.
Regardless of what you choose off the menu, expect added theatre to your evening. Restaurant Bar & Grill is adding DJs and live entertainment on the weekends, as well as a gospel choir on Sundays.
Andrew Garton, CEO at Restaurant Bar & Grill has commented: “Restaurant Bar & Grill has long been a Leeds institution. But this renovation takes us up another level! We’re so excited for customers new and old to come in and experience the jaw-dropping transformation the venue’s undergone, and to carry on serving our stalwart Leeds clientele as we always have - but with an even bigger, and better, luxurious offering!”

Popular Leeds cafe known for its fluffy Japanese sandos is moving to a bigger space
One of the city's best independents is expanding into a bigger premises.
Shokupan on Wellington Street is a proper little gem that food-lovers across Leeds will rave nonstop about if given the opportunity.
Husband and wife team Alan and Alison took inspiration from trips around the world to bring a taste of Japan to the city and over the past few years it's gained a loyal following.
They're famed for their delicious Japanese sandos made with pillow-like fluffy shokupan bread, stuffed with everything from crunchy chicken katsu and flavourful pork to fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
But it's not all just about sandwiches, they also serve rice bowls and katsu curries as well as small bites such as chicken karaage and octopus balls.
Their food is so bloody good, that they've had to find a better location and this time it's slap bang in the city centre on Central Road.
And they're joining brilliant company too, with the likes of House of Koko and Vinyl Grounds as neighbours.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Shokupan said: "You guessed right…we are moving to Central Road, LS1 6DE. We are nearly there…

"All the building work is complete and now we are finishing off the decorating. You might also start to see some signage appearing over the next few days…It has been lovely seeing some of our customers dropping by to see us whilst we slowly lose our sanity.
"Powered on caffeine and determination! Not long to go before we can announce our opening date and welcome you through the doors."
We can't wait to check out the new space, keep an eye on their opening date here.
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this August
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this August.
