Gilt CitySeptember 21, 2011We love Chef Gabriel Kreuther's lunch menu, which highlights dishes like quail terrine with shaved fennel and liverwurst with pickled mushrooms.
@JaumePrimeroDecember 4, 2013Had the beef cheeks last night. Made me want to do naughty things afterwards. Literally wiped the sauce off my plate clean with some baguette.
Concert Ticket AgencyOctober 22, 2012high falutin' fare for a high falutin' night! Start out at MoMa...eat here...end up over at Radio City or Carnegie Hall. Kicking it high class!
Jen22201May 29, 2011They don't offer fries on the menu, but they do have them and they're great. Just ask for them. (The wild mushroom soup is great - the lobster pappardelle and gnocchi are a bit too salty.)
BLOUIN ARTINFOJune 29, 2011Sommelier Free Sundays! In the Bar Room, the corkage fee is waived and customers receive a wine key so you can open and pour your own wines at the table! Cheers! Read more
Jinnie LOctober 28, 2014food was absolutely fantastic! amazing presentation it looks like art, not food♥
Grace LFebruary 15, 2015always ask questions about the menu - delicious cocktails and get the chocolate cart!
Kristy HomanMarch 17, 2013The foie gras terrine blew any foie that I have ever had including the foie that I had at Per Se.
The wild mushroom soup is a fave!! Spaetzle sounds random but is a fantastically delicious dish, beautiful texture and flavour combo.
Zaz HarrisJune 28, 2013Try the Maine Lobster Gnocchi - Of course, the food here is gorgeous AND delicious
Paul SteketeeApril 16, 2013Really good food and nice service. Ask to take your dessert in the garden.
Ian MathesonApril 30, 2011Crazy bag check system. No back packs allowed by can't leave cameras and valuables in the bag you check. End up carrying a clear plastic bag around. Solution: take a see through back pack!
Erin FitzgeraldMarch 18, 2012one of my favorites. try the pralines of foie gras terrine with a girovita cocktail
Aaron DuncanJuly 16, 2011Ensure book table in main dining room - Great nouveau American Cuisine - the chocolate trolly is amazing! Great date place ..
LittleosloNovember 22, 2013Good presentation but the butter should not be too hard for the guest to cut :)
3stepzigzagAugust 21, 2010Nothing beats the triumvirate of Liam, Anthony, and Juan Alberto at the bar on a Thursday night!! I love these guys. Also, they will protect you from the sleazy, slurring old guys on expense accounts
mike schusterApril 20, 2012The prix fix menu is a good value, you get several extra little dishes & lots of chocolate at the end.
Dan SohaydaDecember 2, 2017I may have just picked the wrong plates, but I just was not a fan of this place. For the cost it did not measure up. Food was not special and sommelier not willing to help pair wines seemed very odd.
K@rTh!kk ReDd!June 1, 2013Upscale Restaurant with a modern twist on food... Excellent service & ambience...
PurplelabnycJuly 12, 2010There is always a good exhibit and the space is just mind blowingly fabulous. Love the garden out back. Visit Dylan’s before the ride home. Read more
Nick JohnsonDecember 8, 2014I don't have enough good things to say about the chicken stuffed with pistachios. The scallops were far too salty, however.
Eaters HeavenApril 6, 2016Pink champagne, cavatelli, foie gras and chocolate beignets. Skip the crab fritters, not impressed.
F-Factor NutritionSeptember 5, 2012Alaskan King Crab Salad “Cannelloni” is amazing. Order with dressing on the side.
Huey OAugust 6, 2011The kitchen and staff here were very good about catering to my vegan diet. What a great gastronomic experience.
Debra AskanaseNovember 18, 2011Run, do not walk to the bar and order the Crispy Shrimp with foam lemongrass dipping sauce (touch of jalepeno makes it soar).
Slice Pizza BlogNovember 20, 2010Get the tarte flambé (flammekueche). It's the Alsatian version of pizza! Split it, though--it's crazy rich.
MoMANovember 16, 2010After the Museum closes, head over to The Modern for the MoDERN MaRTINI. Cilantro-infused Tanqueray and fresh lime juice.
