Food was amazing. The most exquisite seasonable ingredients. Service was impeccable and the restaurant was so accommodating on my multiple food restrictions (pregnant with gestational diabetes). We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and had such a memorable and lovely one!! We’re already planning to come back for the kitchen table experience with friends!
Coming from Australia, we don't yet have any Michelin rated restaurants. Michelin hasn't visited??!! We do have many fine locally "Hatted" restaurants in both Australia and New Zealand.
I’ve visited The Modern on multiple occasions, and my recent visit last week was no exception — consistently excellent from start to finish. The service is attentive, the food flawless, and the overall experience always reliable. Dishes are unique, creative, and a joy to enjoy. Truly one of my favorite Michelin-star restaurants in NYC for many years, and I look forward to many more!
Such a great experience! We had an early dinner, at the outdoor garden, overlooking the sculpture garden. The food was spectacular but above all - the service was impeccable! Our sever John was very kind and patient, explaining us the different options we had with all our dietary restrictions. We thought it would be a quick dinner but ended up staying for almost for 3 hours.
We had a memorable experience at The Modern. The food, atmosphere and service were top excellent.
Many great restaurants have a few standout dishes. This place consistently had amazing dishes. I consider each a 9 or 10
I had an incredible experience at The Modern! My favorite dish was eggs on eggs on eggs, but every course was good. Service was friendly, attentive, and accommodating.
Took the train up to celebrate a day & night out for a birthday of a friend who loves good food. Hands down the best tasting menu I've had in 3-4 years. Every course was beautifully composed and nuanced, with unexpected surprises tucked into each dish that delighted the curious mind. As a biochemist, I was particularly pleased by the excitement and willingness of the knowledgeable staff to explain how specific textures and tastes were constructed from a clever mix of simple and complex ingredients. The kampache hit the spot, as did the pumpkin decoction accompanying it with little sesame crunches. The Modern Martini was a masterful blend by a clearly talented bartender. We were seated by the garden and the noise level was perfect - we could chat & catch up over nearly 3 hrs with lots of laughter. A hand written thank you note to the Chef earned us a surprise visit to the Kitchen, which capped off a perfect day in the city. Thanks to the staff for an excellent time. We will definitely be back!
First visit to The Modern, and it was an exceptional experience.
The service was great. Upscale atmosphere with the New York pace. I really enjoyed the mini crab appetizer, it gave you the punch of the ocean. I love how the chef made the light cream full of strong scent, of orange and bonito without any curdling. Seafood is so delightful and fresh, you can taste the sweetness of the fish. The mini pumpkin dumplings are so creamy and tasty with the fried spinach leaf, the sweet lobster with the super thin slices of lemon was delicious. The duck special is on the chef(thank you!) and its skin is so crispy the melt in your mouth meat! Five course menu is enough for me; it will be too much! Highly recommended you to go and find out your own! Or finding little excuses to celebrate there! It’s a lovely restaurant to dine in with or without a company (prefer to share with other friends and family though)!
