This is the perfect spot if your looking for a quiet spot to relax and read in peace which in nyc is very usual to fine. Also if you are an art lover then you will definitely be pleased with atmosphere. The deep dish was delicious and the desert dish of coconut sorbet was delightful. Highly recommended.

Went to MOMA and had late lunch here. Food is so delicious and well plated. Attendants were so professional and were very helpful. Thumbs up! They made our New York experience complete.

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely spring dinner at The Modern. This is a very popular restaurant so book your table early. We were seated at 5:30pm, well ahead of the dinner rush in both the bar and in the dining room, at a lovely table by the window overlooking the courtyard garden shared by the Museum of Modern Art. Our sommelier, Chase, recommended an outstanding wine that we had never tried before. My husband *really* wanted to have the 8-course dinner while I thought I'd prefer 4 courses. Our wonderful server, Pearla, explained that the entire table had to choose one option or the other. So...I went with the 8-course experience - and I assure you...it was just fabulous!! 'So many unique and unexpected combinations of flavors, incredibly fresh ingredients, exquisite presentation for each course, a knowledgeable waitstaff who delivered each dish with a complete explanation of what was being served, just the right amount of food on each plate and perfectly paced service even though the restaurant and bar were quite busy. (My husband has a fish allergy that the chefs accommodated expertly and without detracting from the quality and excellence of his meal.) We took our time with the meal and later enjoyed a half bottle of port served with bread and five well-selected cheeses. We have travelled all over the world and dined in fine restaurants. The Modern gets our outstanding review for atmosphere, cuisine, service (no tipping), presentation and unwavering attention to detail.

Excellent, carefully prepared meals, in a clearly upscale experience. We just wishes our waiter was less snobbish. The kitchen was accommodating to dietary restrictions.

A very nice and very modern restaurant part of the Modern Museum of New York.
Offers fusion cousine with an endless wine list this reastaurant is for the very demanding diners. The main restaurant which is booked up in advance, offers 3 or 7 courses dinners for a fixed price. We were offered a table in the bar area which is also very attractive but suitable for a quick a la cart lunch or dinner. The food we ordered was excellent, felt like the food had been prepared meticulously, full of flavour but again, one of us had to wait 25' for his amin course while the rest of us were eating.
This is unacceptable in any restaurant and even more in such a restaurant.
None of us had deserts but they brought us some chocolates which filled our mouths with pleasure.
