The Daily Grill at 1 World Trade Center in Long Beach plans to close May 23, a spokeswoman confirmed Thursday.
A management agreement between the restaurant and the Daily Grill was cancelled, said spokeswoman Melissa Mason.
Mason said the restaurant wanted to stay in Long Beach but the future of the agreement, which is not a lease, was beyond the Daily Grill's control.
Daily Grill is owned by Woodland Hills-based Grill Concepts Inc., a publicly traded company with 24 locations nationwide.
The Long Beach restaurant is working hard to relocate employees to other Los Angeles-area locations, Mason said.
The closest location to Long Beach are at Los Angeles International Airport and in downtown L.A. and Newport Beach.
The Daily Grill opened in 2004, replacing the City Grill at the same site on the first floor of the World Trade Trade Center.
The menu includes Midwestern steaks and chops, seafood, meatloaf with mashed potatoes, chicken pot pie and specialty salads.
