I approached dinner in this restaurant with some trepidation -- the old adages about food in museums, restaurants on the water etc. I could not have been more wrong. Imaginative menu, creatively divided into three sections creating a tapas type format. It worked out great for our group. Friendly, bright service and the food was downright good. Attractively priced wine... More

We booked a table at the modern during our four day visit to ny. I requested a table in the dining room overlooking the sculpture garden. While I had first heard about the restaurant many years ago a friend of mine mentioned having a good meal there recently, so I thought we would give it a try for lunch. We... More

We often have lunch at the Bar of the Modern. We like the location, and the food is very unusual and out of the ordinary. It is a lively place and fun to go to.

The service was exceptional, we were offered different wines and beers to taste to help make up our mind. The food was great - choice of numerous dishes of... More

Of all the excellent restaurants that I booked for our forthcoming holiday to New York,only this one required a Credit Card number for a lunch reservation.I thought that was odd,so I rung. They said that this was in case we were late,they would charge a certain amount on the card. When I asked my reasonable question that if we came... More

I went here on a Wed night, early dinner reservation. Other than serving the first dish before we finished our first cocktail (we had wine paired w/ each course so we ended up having a glass of wine AND a half full cocktail for the first dish).... The service and attention to detail by the staff was excellent, unbeatable. The... More
