- Thought at first the pre-fix options would disappoint as I'm used to the a la carte menu at the bar but it was hands down amazing. Loved the bass steamed in spinach leaves. Roasted beets were great 2.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
- Christophe Van der LindenMarch 9, 2015One the best restaurants in NYC. If you have time, go for the full Monty in the restaurant with a great view on some MOMA sculptures. If you are in a 'rush' indulge at the bar. Great wine list!
- Marc SchneebergerMarch 12, 2019Amazing drinks and food! Cocktails are espectacular. Some of the best bartenders in the city. The wine list is huge and outstanding. They deserve all the best reviews, nothing in there is wrong!Upvoted Sep 18
- Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Take a seat in the restaurant to go for the four course prix fixe or tasting menu. You'll find that the Alsatian Dumplings, Baked Quail, and Soft-Poached Eggs are all executed to perfection.
- Isaac RadnitzerAugust 14, 2015Excellent prefix menu, we enjoyed every dish and I particularly loved the pistachio stuffed chicken as a main. Portion sizes were surprisingly good as well.
- Steven YApril 12, 2013Tremendous value for a 4 course prix fixe at a great venue overlooking the Rockefeller Sculpture Garden; make sure you save room for the unlimited dessert tray they roll around at the end of the meal!
- Consistent delicious food prepared with precision. Chef Abram Bissell's food feels light, straddling classic and modern. Wide-ranging wine list. And I couldn't be more pleased with the hospitality.
- Rachel RAugust 14, 2015Prix fixe 4-course menu is a fabulous deal - mini croissants, delicious pistachio chicken and lobster dishes, and more in a great setting with beautiful view into the MoMA courtyard!
- BrianMay 31, 2015The tasting menu is refined and absolutely stunning. One of the best meals I've ever had. The sommelier was also exceptional--the pairings were on-point throughout the meal.
- cj fitzgeraldMarch 20, 2018I've never been disappointed by their prix-fixe dinner menu. In the summer, finish with a nightcap in the MoMA sculpture garden, it's utterly serene. No tipping, reservations recommended.
- Tim DengAugust 14, 2018Two michelin star restaurant in the MOMA and it lives up to it. English pea soup & crispy skin salmon were delicious.
- I've always eaten at the bar, never in the lounge area or restarant. Great bartenders -- take their recommendations for wine and spirits. Love the mushroom soup w/chorizo ravioli, the tarte flambee'.
- Tablet HotelsFebruary 26, 2013The Modern is a lovely spot without any of the pretension that can sometimes plague these types of restaurants. The setting - from the decor to the sculpture garden view, is possibly the best in NYC.
- Stina P.January 15, 2014a modern crowd for a modern place with a modern menu for a modern world that appreciates modern art. aka the best of Danny Meyer. i am in love with this restaurant.
- Stacie S.February 6, 2015Everything is always perfection - food, drink, and service. This time I had the Brussels sprout salad and the pork tenderloin - both were lovely, the pork was special.
- Lane RettigFebruary 25, 2018Impeccable service, everything is delicious, but portions are on the small side so order a little more than you think you need!
- Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019A trendy and upscale setting in the MoMa with two Michelin Stars. This spot is great for a night out or a client dinner - try the scallops.
- Denise CheungJuly 23, 2013Dinner table needs reservation. Try the bar instead. Quick service. Food is great. If you are non alcoholic, try lychee purée soda. Taste refreshing !
- Zayed KhanApril 2, 2016Well thought out acoustics. The buzz from the bar room carries over ever so slightly to the dining room. Leaves a bit of the excitement lingering, while still allowing for a quiet and intimate meal.
- Istria L.November 13, 2015Great hospitality as always at Danny Meyer's restaurants. Sommelier Josh was knowledgeable to tackle my trickiest questions. Food was impeccable. Highly recommended, will come back any time
- Bokyung ParkJune 21, 2023There's always a reason why they got two Michelin stars. “Eggs on Eggs on Eggs” what a pleasant dining experience.
- MuseumNerdSeptember 19, 2013@FelixSalmon says the ice cubes are disappointing. Bring your own! Seriously though, this place is better than Per Se. Top 5 restaurants in NYC. Just ask @museeYUM!
- Zayed KhanApril 2, 2016As far as restaurants go, this is the epitomy of understated elegance. Beautiful decor, paired with views of the wonderful sculpture garden.
- The scallops with cauliflower, shaved brussels sprouts and the steak tartare are def my favorites. Paired with a nice Vermentino? Yes please!
- Randy NacolJanuary 12, 2016We ate at the bar Imo was well worth the expense bar tender explained the food and gave us the best experience we could have had
- Frank LohNovember 12, 2018Ask for a booth which is great for 3. Tasting menu great. Had outstanding pouilly fusse.

- Zayed KhanApril 2, 2016Our server, Jason, never led us astray with recommendations. And his attention to detail, and intuition as to what we were looking for, was very impressive.
- Derek FlanzraichOctober 18, 2014The seared scallops are made with charred cauliflower, shaved almonds, and some type of love magic. Best scallops I've ever had.
- Gansevoort Hotel GroupJune 8, 2011Art and foodie/Danny Meyer lovers alike will love! For great deals try the $98 4 course dinner menu or the $55 3 course lunch menu. Don't leave without ordering a dessert from Pastry Chef Marc Aumont.
- AmateurConciergeOctober 18, 2014The Brussels sprouts Caesar is not to be skipped over (bar room). Shrimp fritters were too much fritter, not much shrimp
- John ShrimpMarch 17, 2018The Modern holds two Michelin stars, a Three Star review in the New York Times, four James Beard Awards, and the Grand Award from Wine Spectator.
- AnnieNovember 27, 2010Wine list is intimidating, but the sommelier made a great recommendation- friendly and non judgmental of our interest in "hidden gems" (re: cheaper) list. Foie gras & spicy steak tar tar were winners.
- Shermans TravelAugust 15, 2012The sleek eatery at the Museum of Modern Art is just as much a masterpiece as the works inside the museum (recently re-imagined and expanded by Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi).
- Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013Homemade bread with goat‘s milk butter is a prelude to foie gras terrine, a slow-poached egg with spätzle, & roasted lamb. – Green Guide Editor
- Travel + LeisureJuly 30, 2012The Modern has views of MoMa’s sculpture garden, and the menu is all French-inflected suave goodness, but the real allure here is its sense of civilized escape.
- Adrienne PetrinoJanuary 17, 2015Splurge and get 2 courses of dessert and end with samplings from the chocolate chart!
- Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018A trendy and upscale setting in the MoMa, this spot is great for a night out or a client dinner.

- amNewYorkNovember 7, 2012Desserts are a tour de force here, and influenced by the sensibilities of an Alsatian chef. The wine list includes off-the-beaten-path selections.
- Natalie ViglioneDecember 21, 2011So right now as of dec 20 try the truffle infused drink - I think truffles are unicorn droppings that create shrooms and grow in a magical forest!!!
- Andres ZirlingerMay 14, 2017Incredible tasting menu. Among the best for sure. Went there twice and the second time slightly disappointed that menu had not changed much.
- Search for DeliciousAugust 17, 2011What better way to spend an evening than enjoying a cocktail after a relaxing walk through Moma's beautiful galleries. We recommend the Rose Petal drink.
- Alicia LuqueAugust 19, 2011Great nouveau american cuisine! The Steak Tartare, Upside Down Tuna and Tenderloin dishes were fantastic! Very nice atmosphere and fabulous service!
