Our Anniversary celebration was outstanding. The food and wine pairings were exceptional. The pace and portion size ensured that we enjoyed our last bites and sips as much as our first.

Great for lunch, particularly if you’re visiting the museum - but you can also go there just to eat. Gorgeous place with a very well-stocked bar, food was good but service a little slow at times.

Love this place. Ok it's pricey but well worth it! Today I had the roasted cauliflower with crab and green curry. Completely unexpected depth and layering of lush flavors. Highly recommend! My lunch companion had the octopus and brussel sprouts salad and could not stop raving about it. This place is amazing.

A bit louder than other Michelin-rated establishments. Professional service team but could've had timing and communication down more. Not a significant issue though. Food was fresh and flavorful. Highlights were the tuna tartar canape, the seabass and the nam foc mai mango with coconut rice. No chicken or beef on our menu. Diver scallops were over-cooked.

Food is tasty but nothing special for a restaurant at this price point. Small portions for big prices.I ate in the main dining area and tried the octopus Brussel sprouts, the caviar hotdog, the gem lettuce salad, the braised short rib, and a dessert (not the pre fixe menu). All tasty, but neither my wallet nor my stomach were full afterwards.

The Modern is one of my NY favorites. Food is excellent. This time we ate in the less formal bar. Highly recommendedUpdating this review. When you look at the menu the options look OK, but not that novel. However, taste any one and you will be amazed at the flavors and quality. Superb food. Have a look at the photos here of the hot dogs with caviar (!), the beef short ribs, and delicious lobster pasta dish. For appetizer I had the steak tartare that came with too good to describe potatoes; crispy outside enclosing pillows of delight. The hot dogs got rave reviews. We recommend getting one these in while waiting for your guests to arrive.In addition, the wine list is spectacular, including many high-priced stars, but also also economical gems. See for example the Barbera d'Alba offerings. A splendid restaurant.
The food was exquisite!! All of the food from start to finish. The service was excellent and very detailed. The cocktails and wine list super!!! Will recommend it as one of the best culinary experiences in the city

My favorite restaurant in NYC.The lobster tagellini is excellent!Vegetarian options: The chef made a custom vegetarian pasta for us.
I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional level of service and attention.

This is the best meal I've ever had... on every level, every bite of every course, every way that I (a solo diner) was made to feel welcome and integral to proceedings, every conversation with everyone who works there, everyone I could see having the best time... the very best.Don't go anywhere else... it will never be as good as the Modern (and never mind recommending to a friend, I'll be recommending to everyone).

I dined solo at the Modern at the end of March 2024. The food was excellent. I had the crab and green curry starter, the lobster tagliolini, and the banana pudding tart. My spirit-free beverage was so tasty that I ordered two (the Ko Pilot). Service is a team effort so everything was very quick and efficient.
