The Modern @ 9W 53rd st. NY NY 10019 To the right of The Museum of Modern Art is the magnificent Michelin starred restaurant serving all the top shelf hits! It doesn't have the most obvious entrance- nor is it the most beautiful doorway- that being said-the food is definitively on par with a Michelin rating! I must say, my wife & I had a great evening sampling the exquisite tasting menu. The drinks were delicious as well. We were seated in the main dining room, in a beautiful white table clothed booth- facing a large courtyard. The service was very good, but not excellent. I was expecting excellent. Our main server eventually disappeared but we were in great hands with Izzy & Vanessa. Our evening was topped off with a quick tour of the kitchen. The kitchen was in tip top shape- as Id expected. We always confer after an evening out and we both agreed we would definitively return & we do recommend The Modern.

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)! P.s. I also saw an older lady with her family there, it remind me of my family growing up going out with grandparents every week to have a family meal together.

I went to The Modern for lunch and did the tasting menu. The food itself was great, everything was thoughtfully done and delicious. I especially loved the “eggs on eggs on eggs” and the little tartlet served at the beginning. Overall, the food absolutely lived up to expectations. That said, the service really fell short, which was disappointing given that this is a Michelin-star restaurant where service is a big part of the experience. We felt quite rushed throughout the meal. There was an event happening at MoMA, and we were one of the last lunch reservations before they closed for the rest of the day, which clearly affected the pacing. Even if there’s an event afterward, guests are paying a lot for the full experience, and it shouldn’t feel like you’re being pushed out. It took away from what could’ve been a really special meal. I do think the experience might be better at a time when there isn’t an event happening or for dinner, and I’d be open to coming back under different circumstances. The food was excellent, I just wish the service had matched it.

The food was interesting, but they had their own unique styles. Each carefully curated menus were great to experience and staffs were very well trained. I especially loved the menu eggs on eggs on eggs. Name sparked my interest and the presentation was stunning as well. Great place to visit.

First visit to The Modern, and it was an exceptional experience. The food was refined and beautifully executed, the service was attentive and polished, and the atmosphere was perfect for a honeymoon—elegant yet warm, sophisticated without being stiff. A special thank you to Chef Yoshua, who hosted us so graciously and made the evening truly memorable. The kitchen tour was a fantastic touch—eye-opening, inspiring, and honestly… wow. Thoughtful hospitality, excellent cuisine, and a team that clearly takes pride in what they do. A honeymoon dinner done right. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
