Danny Meyer does it again. Have not been that happy at a restaurant since Eleven Madison Park . Sit at the bar -or not- and let Antonio be your man: tuna with cucumber , lobster and egg , rabbit . Amen.
10-top of foodies and everyone loved it, especially the scallops with cauliflower , the steak tartare , brussel sprouts and last but not least the crispy chicken . Job well done The Modern!
I love their cocktails ! Some of the best bartenders I've seen in NY. I disagree with this place being touristy . I come here often as I live next door and have often run into many people I know.
Sublime and peaceful dining experience. Try any of the tasting menus with wine , they’re well worth the price. Nice place to take a break and have a drink while exploring MoMA.
Everything ????. But I am partial to the flavorful “Tarte Flambée”. Gratuity included.
Sophisticated and interesting food. Would recommend for brunch if you want to try the incredible Modern food without spending that much
One of Danny Meyer 's fine-dining restaurants ; we'd recommend sitting in the more casual Bar Room for equally delicious fare at lower prices.
One if the most beautiful bars in Manhattan with good drinks and food as an added benefit.
The bartenders here are the best! Not only are they knowledgable with wine and cocktails , they also give great recommendations for restaurants .
Awesome!!! Amazing food and service. Top 20 for sure!
The more casual dining experience of Danny Meyer 's French-American, Michelin-starred restaurant overlooking the MoMA's Sculpture Garden .
All day dining yo. Bar seats are clutch but the low tables are also pretty good. Never fail to order foie gras .
Very good food. But very crowded and zero social distance. You basically eat with your neighbors
Nice way to sample a Michelin Star restaurant . Bar at the Modern does not disappoint.
Cute place, drinks are pretty good as well . Would recommend if you are in the area!
Scallops are delicious -- shrimp fritters , tuna sliders & fried oysters are just fair
The tarte flambee is one of the best bar snacks in NYC. [Eater 38 Member]
Michael Lomonaco, chef of Porterhouse , eats here on his nights off. He loves the Slow-poached farm egg w/ Maine lobster . Read more
Service and food seem to have gone a bit downhill after gratuity has become included and the chef changed. Not sure if it really lives up to its reputation anymore.
The Kina Cocktail was great - Gin , Cocchi Americano , Blanc Vermouth , Sherry - dry and nice for sipping.
The Alsatian tarte with the smoked bacon comes like a flatbread pizza and is delicious!
Less formal than the Modern, more relaxed and casual atmosphere suitable for drinks. Serves small plates (tapas style ) Alsatian cuisine. Read more
I just adore this place, decor-wise and food-wise. Prefer the bar room over the dining room. The mushroom soup is healthy and delicious.
Great cocktails . Also try the tarte flambé
This place is so good that it hurts. The best place to come and unwind from the hectic NYC day
Fine dining in a beautiful space. Make sure to get three courses as the portions are "nouvelle" Read more
Delicious Food & warm & great service
Serious craft cocktails . Sit at the bar ; gratuity included
Scallops with broccoli light but delicious:-) I recommend.
wine selection was impressive
Sit at the bar talk to the bartenders ( Sarah was lovely ) get a nosh and the modern martini !!!!
Fillet mignon Wellington for two. Very good.
Steak tartare ! Very delicious.
All the cocktails and wine are phenomenal .. Perfectly balanced. Sarah is a pleasure
The upside down tuna tartare is fantastic!!
Early birthday dinner !
The bruschetta taster is excellent.
Try the Duck Confit and Beignets may rival Cafe Du Monde!
Sea bass and crab fritters
Eating at the bar is the most fun
Best wine list in town !
The entire experience
good food. Never coming back after my friend got insulted by some lady (did she work herr?) who told us we were too loud . Its a bar room & made us uncomfortable. It was unprofessional and rude.
Booked a table and still had to wait 25 min more. Not happy.
New chef . I think its an improvement!!!
Upside down tuna tartare and long island duck !
The truffle oil popcorn is ridiculous! Yummm
Cocktails .
Don't order the ice cream . You get half a scoop. Ridiculous.
Bad service. Do not come here.
Great little speakeasy spot semi-hidden within Grand Central. Fantastic outdoor patio for summer drinks. - Tim Mulcrone
Tucked away downstairs in WV, great place for a cocktail, cozy atmosphere, good for dates. - Kate Furman
Great place for cocktails. Food was great, and the design of dining in a library is even better. - Siovonne
Wonderful museum and art-collection, nicely presented! We had a little drink afterwards in their very cosy cafetaria. We were served super-friendly!!! - Linda De Wolf
Of course the Christmas Spectacular is amazing and a must see. Theater is large and acoustic is very good. - Richard Revilla
