The Modern New York Reviews from The Last Year

Yelp: 😍 (10) Tripadvisor: 🙂 (17)

Came here to celebrate my birthday.

5/5 by W Y. on 03/19/2023

.. service, presentation, and food was top notch! Enjoyed my dining experience here and would definitely come back!

😍

delicious

5/5 by jmsShrewsbury_MA on 03/18/2023

Fantastic service, very attentive and professional. All of the food that we ordered was outstanding, very flavorful, beautifully presented. Atmosphere was nice, quiet enough to enjoy conversation. Prices are high, but worth it!

😍

The Modern is a special restaurant.

5/5 by Gary S. on 03/01/2023

Definitely a special occasion spot unless you have a deep pocket. It is expensive, but one of those places - like Le Bernardin - that continue the tradition of fine dining without stuffiness and pretension. Superb food, beautiful setting and excellent service. A fine option for more casual dining (at a lower price point) is sitting at a table in the bar area, where you can also order food a la carte. The pasta with fresh black truffles is a standout!

The modern is an excellent restaurant offering several

4/5 by Hector S. on 02/25/2023

The modern is an excellent restaurant offering several drink options and a tasting menu that appears to change regularly. The views of the garden are nice and the dining room is simple yet sleek. The service is what one would expect in a restaurant of it's caliber. The meal itself was excellent but I could have skipped the artichoke ravioli. It was not a hit for me as I thought it was salty. I also was not a fan of seeds on the bread but without the seeds the bread was delicious. The eggs on eggs on eggs dish is a nice play on eggs executed successfully. The sauce on the lobster was delicious and the sea bass was good but not memorable for me. The asparagus with the sea bass was impressive as it had a sweet taste to it. The highlight of the night was the main course. The venison was delicious and everything on the plate was fantastic. The desserts were good but nothing out of this world. The venison and eggs on eggs on eggs was the main highlights for me. Finally, the lemonade drink with egg whites was one of the best drinks I've ever had. I would surely come back and hopefully the tasting menu is elevated even more.

The Modern is in a beautiful space right next to the Museum

4/5 by Molly H. on 02/25/2023

The Modern is in a beautiful space right next to the Museum of Modern Art overlooking the garden. The style was very sleek (which makes sense given its name). The seats were also particularly comfortable!There were many drink options to choose from, but I appreciate the several mocktail choices. The one I chose was delicious! The meal was a 6 course tasting menu which included: an amuse bouche of iberico ham on a Parmesan tuile, egg on egg on egg, lobster salad, bread, sea bass, artichoke agnolotti, venison and then dessert.Hits - The egg dish was a signature and for good reason. It was perfectly executed and a great way to kick off the meal. The warm bread and homemade butter - how can you go wrong? And the venison was made by the perfect cook and absolutely delicious sauce.Misses - the agnolotti dish (unfortunately the sauce was too salty) and the lobster salad (I love lobster, but it was paired with a slightly sour apple sauce - interesting take but lobster is naturally sweet so I didn't think it worked as well).Dessert - we started with a pallet cleanser which was celery ice cream over rhubarb - what a unique and delicious pairing. Perfect cleanser before dessert! Then the main dessert was citrus focused - mandarins with a sponge cake and mandarin ice cream surrounded by a ring of cream cheese mousse. It was so tasty and well balanced. To finish we each got 3 little bites of chocolates which is always a nice way to end a big meal.Service was excellent and they took care of my dietary restrictions well, which I always appreciate. I just wish they did the warm washcloths at the beginning like so many Michelin restaurants do to help you clean your hands before the first course comes out (which was eaten with our hands).

😍

Wonderful experience.

5/5 by Iron A. on 02/24/2023

Classy, innovative, high quality. Everything you would expect from a Michelin star tasting menu + more. Friendly and knowledgeable staff (wine pairing).

😍

Had a very enjoyable dinner at the Modern on a Saturday

5/5 by Yi C. on 02/18/2023

Had a very enjoyable dinner at the Modern on a Saturday evening. It's a six-course tasting menu, but with all the nice little snacks and bread and bonbons, it's almost 10 course. All the courses were very delicious and coherent. The ingredients were super fresh and the seasoning was perfect. The pace of service was great. The dining room is spacious and beautiful and well decorated. Loved everything here and would love to come again!

😍

Visited the restaurant twice in past few years.

5/5 by Tina C. on 02/15/2023

Great restaurant. Spent fabulous nights there. Would definitely go there again

😍

The modern is definitely worth of 2 Michelin stars.

5/5 by Tina W. on 02/11/2023

We love their 6 course tasting menu. I definitely not sure why ppl gave out low scores. I think this is definitely some front runner among those 2 Michelin stars restaurants. Everything is fresh. If u don't like sea food, I dont think u should come here.

😍

TLDR: the best service I have ever experienced, the food

5/5 by Nathaniel P. on 02/09/2023

TLDR: the best service I have ever experienced, the food was spectacular, delicious pieces of art, and I so truly want to come back as soon as possible.A friend of mine recommended the modern after experiencing the dinner tasting menu. I spontaneously checked to see if it were available for lunch the same day and I was surprised that there was a lot of availability! I knew nothing of the modern walking in so I was surprised that everyone was well dressed but it was lunch so I think it was a little bit more lax (I was coming from school). We were offered the tasting menu which was composed of the "chefs favorite lunch menu items" and decided to go ahead and give it a go.I genuinely loved every single bite that we had. My favorites were: the eggs on eggs on eggs - caviar, egg yolk, "fried egg sauce", dill and some herb oil served with toasted brioche; roasted lobster with creamy spinach and Parmesan foam (opted for the supplemental truffle but totally not necessary); and the chocolate torte with hazelnut praline and malt ice cream. The bread was also fluffy yet crisp and warm and buttery I would come back just to have the bread again. Also worth a mention is the mushroom sabayon from the crispy sea bass dish. I would eat anything and everything or even drink that sauce on its own if I could. These dishes are some of the best I have ever had and will probably be some of the most memorable this year. The service was impeccable. I felt as though each of the wait staff genuinely cared about our experience. Everyone was so warm and inviting and it felt as though they knew exactly what we were thinking. I have been to many other fine dining establishments but I can't think of better service that I've had. The true cherry on top was the kitchen tour at the end. It was so cool seeing what happens behind the scenes. Truly a magical experience.Overall: Book it. A true treat for a foodie and a perfect place for a celebration or fancy date night.

🙂

A good 2-star restaurant by Moma.

4/5 by Linus L. on 02/03/2023

The Food was good, especially the egg on egg on eggs. What I am not sure if I like is the ambiance. If you are looking for someplace that is for intimate gatherings then this might not be the spot. The service was good, but nothing too spectacular. Staff were able to explain what we would be expecting clearly, so that's a good thing.

😍

Great!!

5/5 by KC.25 on 02/02/2023

This was a last minute visit when arriving in NYC after a long flight - it was my birthday so we wanted to go somewhere for good wine. This place did not disappoint and we were so glad we ended up finding it! The wine was great - the service was on point and faultless. Everyone was so knowledgeable and friendly. We had something small to eat in the bar area and that was really good! We would absolutely visit again but the dining room next time too!

🤮

Pretentious staff inedible and pricy food

1/5 by KFoster505 on 01/29/2023

Smelly inedible vomit inducing scallops. Tasteless tartare. $45 brunch for two courses. Obnoxious hostesses and manager. Lots of staff standing around with their pretentious noses in the air. Do not waste your money here.

🙂

Small Portions

4/5 by Den on 01/07/2023

Dinner at The Modern Bar Room. Excellent service. Portion size underwhelming and you left hungry. Do not order scalopps for main course, so small. Had appetizer, entree and desert. Crowd dressed post Covid, very casual.

😍

A culinary work of art. Reserve in the bar room for a less pricy but amazing meal.

5/5 by misszoey on 12/27/2022

The bar room at the Modern is probably one of the best bargains in fine dining in the world. Small but lovely dining menu, inventive non alcoholic drinks if you don’t want to take advantage of their amazing wine list, and INCREDIBLE food. We had three seafood dishes plus dessert and each dish was a masterpiece.

🙂

Good quality, nice place

4/5 by Francesca N on 12/03/2022

I had tart flambée, duck breast and dessert. Everything was very good. the service was good. Not easy to use the bathroom.

4th anniversary meal celebrations

5/5 by Lisa Glover on 12/02/2022

What an experience , my husband and I had lunch at the chefs kitchen table yesterday ! The food was absolutely amazing , each course was introduced by a chef and tasted out of this world ! We were very well looked after ! Definitely a fantastic place to celebrate something special …..thank you all the team at The Modern who were extremely professional and friendly !!!

😒

Unimpressed.

3/5 by bguyette47 on 11/15/2022

The service was outstanding but the food only average. Temperature of the duck seemed a bit low and the flavor profiles just didn’t impress as I thought they would. Pear dessert was a good ending to the meal.

😍

The Kitchen Table for my birthday.

5/5 by Jay M on 11/13/2022

The Kitchen Table is a can’t miss experience. We were front row to watch dinner service in a Michelin starred restaurant. The food was beautiful to look at and so incredibly delicious and the kitchen team were so sweet and kind introducing themselves, asking if we had questions. Chef Thomas Allen and Chef de Cuisine Sarah Hsieh stopped by and visited with us several times throughout the evening. Service was impeccable and the wine recommendation was perfect. Such a fun way to celebrate my birthday.

😒

Looking dated and average food

3/5 by BrightonDaniel on 08/06/2022

Not as good as expected. We had set menu with wine pairings. Firstly wine was excellent. No course was particularly memorable, except the welcome snack. Food is very expensive with a lot of flavours going on. My seat had a tear in the fabric. Nice to visit but unlikely to return

🤢

Mediocre!

2/5 by Viaggi on 08/04/2022

Came here for a business lunch. Very crowded, hectic, the hostess was not nice, the portions were small, the food was just ok. I used to look this restaurant 5-6 years ago. But restaurants become popular and decline in quality.

😍

A delightful lunch at the Modern

5/5 by Adrienne C on 07/31/2022

Truly a one-of-a kind dining experience with an artistic flair. Very much a hidden gem nestled in the MoMA. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tête de cochon was exquisite, and so was the crispy salmon entrée. Will definitely be back again, and would love to try the Modern’s actual tasting menu.

😍

No change in quality since BC

5/5 by bengals4 on 07/26/2022

First time back since BC - prolonged closure didn’t seem to change the high quality of product. Gratuity now accepted.

🤮

So bad experience (((

1/5 by Renata K on 06/19/2022

It’s a really bad experience (( Service is so pure and slow Not any special in a menu Please don’t spend a time with this restaurant Our table was dirty whole process of lunch They didn’t take out dirty plates I don’t have enough photo but just believe me

😍

Best meal in New York

5/5 by TF_555 on 06/01/2022

There are two main dining options: a 5-course tasting menu at the Modern or an a-la-carte at the Bar Room at the Modern. We opted for the tasting menu, with wine pairings. This was the best meal we have had in New York! Starting with the amuse bouche, every dish was well-balanced and had interesting flavours and textures. We particularly enjoyed the hiramasa (fish) with peas, as well as the turbot, morels and spinach. Many of the dishes had some Japanese influence. We were very pleased to meet chef Justin who came out to tell us a bit about the dishes and the restaurant. He also invited us for a tour of the kitchen. Many thanks to all the staff, but particularly our server Fiona, who catered to all our needs.

😍

The Bar Room at The Modern Is a Dining Bucket List Essential

5/5 by NYCenteroftheUniverse on 05/07/2022

The Bar Room at the Modern Such a sleek, modern, casually sophisticated vibe at this top notch restaurant. The service (from the hosts, to the bus personnel to the servers) is utterly polished, professional, cordial and so very accommodating. (Antu and Hope are STARS with their warm attentiveness.) The food is nicely plated, fragrant, appetizing and DELICIOUS. The grilled octopus with beans was incredibly yummy. The (gluten free) chicken breast was flawlessly prepared, crispy yet moist with delectable foie gras. The buckwheat salad and ravioli (vegetarian) were also devoured. Even the bread ( regular and gluten free) is freshly made, served warm and is mouthwateringly tasty. The cocktails, like the food, are creatively terrific ( the rhubarb and raspberry are our favorites). With wonderful cuisine, impeccable service and lovely ambiance, The Bar Room at The Modern is one of our favorite restaurants! The culinary expertise and creativity of the chef and mixologist, combined with the unsurpassed service, results in a memorable, rave-worthy experience. The Bar Room is a dining bucket list essential!

Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.

😍 5/5 Review by EnamoredList61 (03/03/2023 8:41 am)

Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!

Very easy

Fabulous Lunch

😍 5/5 Review by FascinatedSnake33 (02/05/2023 3:09 pm)

I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!

It works!

🙂 4/5 Review by ChattyPeace47 (09/04/2022 2:30 pm)

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
