Located at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The Modern is a fine dining restaurant serving Chef Gabriel Kreuther's Alsatian-inspired French American cuisine with warm hospitality in a spectacular setting. Overlooking the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, the main dining room offers a refined experience, bringing Museum dining to sophisticated new heights. The menu features Chef Kreuther's modern, creative and elegant dishes. The meal is complemented with desserts by Pastry Chef Marc Aumont. Set in one of the world's leading art institutions, design plays a major role in every aspect of the dining experience. A $88 prix-fixe menu is featured at dinner, in addition to two seasonal tasting menus. Lunch offers both à la carte and prix-fixe options. The extensive wine list includes over 900 selections with a focus on Alsace. Guests can enter the restaurant via its own street level entrance or through the Museum. In addition, The Modern also has the more casual Bar Room available.

I’ve dined here twice – once in the main dining room, once in the bar room. Both times a great experience. Main dining room is a more expensive and more artistic dishes that really pack a wallop of flavor. Bar room also offers exceptional flavors, everything is served in a large-appetizer/small-entrée size that is intended for sharing. The basil gnocchi is quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever eaten – truly outstanding. The service in the bar room was also superb – the waiter always could sense when we needed something and was right there to help. Service in the dining room is overdone is my opinion. Too many people, too much of a production.

Food was ok, slow service. Loud atmosphere. Came here expecting a lot due to the hype and the prices.. a bit disappointed.

Confusing bathrooms, too. Haha. You’ll see.

This restaurant was an unexpected treat. If you sit in the bar room the ambience is good and the prices are reasonable. They have a vast selection of items to choose from on their a la carte menu, and the drink menu offers some old favorites as well as some daring mixes.

Excellent decor — though its MoMa, so what do you expect? The food can be a bit more creative though.

I stopped by The Bar Room a few nights ago and it’s still as good as ever. Great appetizers and great wine in a relaxed atmosphere. Perfect place to unwind after work!

The service is good. Location is great. It’s not outrageously expensive and the food has always been good. Never been wowed by anything I’ve eaten here, but never been disappointed really either.
