It was yummy, 4.8 out of 5 stars. I really enjoyed this restaurant. The food was yummy, the drinks were tasty, but the service definitely made the night. They brought us more brioche for eggs on eggs on eggs dish, and more bread with cranberry spread (delicious) as well. The bathrooms are fun, co-ed with enclosed bathroom stalls. At the end, our server took us on a quick kitchen tour. There's a Chef's table back there for those that are interested. Non-descript entrance btw, easy to miss. I will be back ^_^
This is for The Bar Room, not The Modern. Favorites from restaurant week: Sunshine soup with scallop, lobster tagliolini, rice custard. Price was a steal for the quality and service. Honeyed was a delicious cocktail. Busy midtown upscale vibe. Would return!
It was a great experience! Our lovely hostess was Jenna truly delightful person made sure our food is catered to us and made it Halal friendly, no pork no alcohol no gelatine. Before our dessert Jenna brought to us a complimentary sorbet which was refreshing and complimentary chocolate to go. We had the tasting menu it was delicious and the service was great.
A truly exceptional meal—perhaps the first true two-star Michelin experience we’ve had in Manhattan (surpassing other 3* in NYC earned through celebrity and not substance). All around an absolute pleasure for all the senses.There were several twists that worked very well like bringing the bread after the third course. Another was the diversity of the servers presenting the dishes while still maintaining our head server’s role prominently—it felt very appropriate in a city like NYC. This paired well with the flawless composition and execution of the dishes and the serene yet sensory rich atmosphere. Two stars fully earned!!!
Hands down, one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I waited tables all through college and the service here was next level. They didn't miss a thing. And the food...just magnificent. We did the chef's tasting menu and the wine pairing and it was expensive, but well worth it. Not sure that we'll be making a return trip because of the price but it was something that everyone should splurge on at least once.
I had an incredible experience at The Modern. Everything was perfect, from the kind and professional staff to the beautiful atmosphere and interior. If you're a foodie visiting the MoMA, this place is a must-visit. For your information, I ordered lunch four-course menu, which includes bread and butter. The food was not only delicious but also fascinating and artistic. While the scallop dish was a little bit disappointing, the famous first course (eggs on eggs on eggs) and main course, which I chose as the venison, were spot on. They were fresh, amazing, and delicious. I must say that I thoroughly appreciated the wine that was suggested to me, tailored to my preferences. It was a delightful experience. Since it was my graduation celebration lunch, they even brought out a special dessert with a cute mini candle for me, which was so heartwarming. It was a pistachio ice cream coated with cherry mousse, and to be honest, it was even better than the regular dessert, which was still quite good. It was the best cherry dessert I've ever had. At the end of the meal, Ulysses (I'm not sure if that's the correct spelling of his name) took me on a tour of the kitchen and gave me a special mini gift, which was both memorable and impressive. His passion and professionalism were truly top-notch. Overall, every moment at The Modern was awesome. I've been to many fine dining establishments in various countries, but The Modern definitely deserves its reputation. I'll definitely be visiting this amazing restaurant again the next time I'm in New York.
The Modern is a great dining experience and a fantastic way to break up the day when visiting MOMA. I went for lunch in the dining room and had the 4 course menu. It included the 4 courses plus the bread. Each course was delicious in its own way, but the famous eggs on eggs on eggs really stood out. The extra brioche is a nice tough too cause you'll certainly want more. They have an extensive wine and cocktail list, and I was very happy with the affordability of the whole experience given how they have 2 stars. Service was attentive and never felt rushed. I was dining solo, so the extra little chit chat with me from the staff is always welcome (but never expected). My only disappointment was when leaving, I didn't want to subtract a star from this since it was outside the dining experience, but I wasn't let back into the museum. I called a few days earlier and asked if I could reenter from the restaurant and they said yes as long as you show your ticket. I had my ticket out but was told I need to go outside and reenter through the main entrance. Well unfortunately it was pouring and the line was quite long. Just be aware that if you're dining you probably won't be let back into the museum.
BEST meal of my life!!!! I wish I could give this 6 stars because I truly fell in love with every dish. I am shocked why this 2 star Michelin restaurant doesn't have its third but I'm rooting for it. When you first walk in, the restaurant is split into an energetic, lively, casual dining area and then further back there's a more upscale, quieter area with a gorgeous view of the MoMa. My husband and I did the tasting menu and honestly every dish was fantastic and it's so hard to pick a favorite. I'd have to say the lobster and steak dishes were my favorites and then the chocolate dessert was incredible. Do not forget to have the whole grain sourdough bread that is crunchy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside with the most incredible butter. We each got 3 pieces because it was the best. And with that, our service was so perfect. Our waiter chatted with us after every entree and got genuinely excited for us after each dish. My waitress also recommended the amazing Guajillo cocktail- it had a great kick and it’s a little creamy! I've already told my friends it's the best fancy restaurant we've been to so we cannot wait to come back.
Celebrated our anniversary at this gem, and the experience was exceptional. The top-notch service and delightful caviar hand roll were highlights. The food, a perfect 10/10âimpeccable balance and flavors. Despite comments on portion size, with 7 co

Amazing! This was by far my favorite place for casual dining and drinks in the area. Reasonably priced, fantastic beer selection, and absolutely delicious food!! Also, our server Deena was great. I don't know how much she's paid, but she should ge
From start to finish, a great experience. The ambience and vibes were on point. Great cocktails and food was excellent. We ended up befriending the couple next to us and stayed for 3 hours chatting with them, with no pressure from the staff to leave.
This was my first time at this restaurant and I liked it a lot. It felt very intimate, and the food was great. The meat that I ordered came perfectly rare, the beef tartar was full of delicious avocados. My group had 6 people total but since we had

The food was terrific! Came here for lunch/brunch today and the food was fabulous - I went with the eggs benedict and the home fries are crisped to perfection, the english muffin toasted and buttered to everyone's delight, and the brioche french toas

Eko is the best property manager Iâve ever met. He is very reactive and provide service as soon as possible. My 4 months tour in NYC is indispensable without his help.
Tickets were crazy affordable, especially in NYC terms. I went with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday. It was wayyy cheaper than going to the movies. They had an amazing line-up and the retro 80s vibes were intimate and chill. Plus the come
Great class. All the coaches organize classes to push you but allow you to workout to your level. The workout space is not overcrowded and the environment makes you forget youâre actually running!
Out of all of the Georgian restaurants Iâve been to in Brooklyn and Manhattan, Mealz is the one that exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious, not to mention the service was amazing. Overall, the environment was very comforting and friendly
One of the best bibimbaps Iâve ever had! Cozy space so there is not a lot of seating, but would get it as take-out if needed. Will definitely go back!
