The Modern

Came here for the signature dish eggs on eggs on eggs even if I know it isn’t very good for my health… However, pretty amazed by the overall high level of the dishes, service, ambience. Even the bread is worth noting. Feels like house made to me. Somehow the main dish and the desert are slightly less impressive compared to first few courses but still excellent. As many have already mentioned, the view of the garden is great. I hope to visit again to have a different taste of the seasonality (the menu and the view)

What a great dining experience this was. The tasting menu was made vegan for me and I had an exquisite series of dishes brought out. This is a great setting and a the service was outstanding. I was there for business and the experience was so good that I felt bad that I didn't have my wife with me. At least I know where I can take her next time I'm going to the city and it's a special night

I’ve been coming to the Modern for years now. And I’ve enjoyed Lunch, Dinner, and the casual Bar Room experience. I can say with the utmost confidence that this is my favorite restaurant In the world. You can taste and feel every detail during your experience, from the crunch of a perfectly dry aged duck, to the rich and deep flavor of a chocolate torte. The staff is incredibly welcoming, and sitting next to the outdoor sculpture garden is the perfect backdrop to a delicious meal. If you are visiting New York, and don’t mind splurging, this is certainly worth a visit.

Went to The Modern and was not disappointed. For starters we ordered the steak tartare with crispy potatoes and the kanpachi with green apple and seaweed vinaigrette, with both being exceptional. For the entrees we ordered the heritage pork, stewed plums and mustard greens and black bass with shelling beans, anchovy broth and chicories, with both again being excellent. To pair with the food we ordered 2 drinks, a paper plane and spiced pear. We both preferred the paper plane, which was out of this world, but both drinks again, were excellent! Oh, and the bread served before the meal was amazing. Fresh out of the oven! Overall it was an exceptional experience.

We had dinner at the bar, before they had opened up the dining room again and it was a fantastic experience. The food was very good, I think they were a little busy so the service wasn’t quite at the level you’d expect but we didn’t mind. I’d definitely come back. The dining room is a great option if you don’t want to spend a decent chunk of change on dinner but still get to experience the great food. The oysters were a highlight.

We did their kitchen seating which only one table is available and it was spectacular. Not only was the food amazing, you got to meet most of the cooks and watch them make the food and see how it's all done. Each plate was brought over to us by a different cook and they explained in detail the ingredients and how it was made. At the end of the night, we got a signed menu and got a picture taken with the entire cook staff.

Celebrated Wife’s birthday at the restaurant. We were in the Bar room. Overall a good restaurant and good food and portion size. The food options on the menu is not vegetarian friendly as there were only 4 choices and both the mains were mushroom based. The desert didn’t impress. The octopus was amazing and cocktails were decent

Lunch at the Bar Room of the Modern. Food was good but nothing spectacular, unfortunately (dessert was just meh and disappointing) Service was kinda sloppy for a restaurant of this caliber and rating (had to ask for steak knives for lamb dish, etc...). Maybe the experience is better at the main dining area, but I'm glad I didn't choose the tasting menu considering I was not impressed at all with the lunch ?
