The Modern

The food was delicious; I truly loved everything I ordered. My only complaint is that the air conditioning was a bit strong, so if you go, bring a light jacket or sweater.

Everything was incredible as expected! We got the smaller tasting menu. The tuna and the ham and cheese cracker were some of the best bites of food i have ever had! You know its a great place when i dont even like cheese or fish but the scallops and the cheese with summer squash were sooo good! The bread was good but just bread. The chicken was probably the lowest point of the meal. It was perfectly cooked chicken but just plain chicken nothing special. The desserts were both amazing! Great ice cream! And then the bowl of sweets was unexpected but all delicious. I dont like gummy bears but they were incredible anyway not too gummy they had a perfect snap. The caramel was unexpected citrusy but very good. Service was incredible too. At these kinds of places i know people worry about not getting enough to eat but that wasnt a problem we were both full by the end.

As good as always. For this season, bass is my favorite.

I had an amazing experience at The Modern from beginning to end. Everything was exceptional—from the warm and attentive service to the beautifully presented dishes and the impeccable attention to detail. Every part of the experience felt thoughtfully curated. I tried the famous Eggs on Eggs on Eggs, and I completely understand why it's such an iconic dish. It was elegant, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. I also had the lamb, which was cooked beautifully. Every dish showcased incredible technique, refined flavors, and careful attention to both texture and presentation. Overall, this was an outstanding dining experience. If you're looking for a refined meal with exceptional service and beautifully executed cuisine, I highly recommend The Modern. I would happily come back.

Wonderful experience in the terrace. Excellent staff, service, food. Everything is excellent. On top of that, the reception took care of our luggage while we were visiting MoMA. Amazing!

😋😋

The head chef here is phenomenal. The food is it excellent, the eggs taste like they just came from the farm, the meat is nice. Any allergy you have they can accommodate and won’t raise an eyebrow. I once got a chance to go to the kitchen and meet the team, the tall guy in charge was Tom, he was super nice. It was really busy but he never rushed us, he chatted for a bit and signed our menus!!

There’s two ways to enter this restaurant. They do in fact have a main door facing 53rd street. If you’re already inside MoMA, there’s a separate door by security. They have to let you in. I didn’t have a reservation, but was seated immediately. Win! I really should’ve asked questions instead of going rogue. My intention was to do the lunch prix fixe menu. The menu on the table was a la carte. This did however work out better for me as I had limited time since I was catching a broadway show. Started with the olives then followed with the hot dogs and closed with the gem lettuce. They did come at different times. This gave me the perfect time to nibble slowly. The olives paired perfectly with the salad. The hot dogs were my favorite. The whole meal was perfectly balanced for me. Just have to mention how amazing the service was. No table had anything waiting to be taken away because there was always someone walking around. At one point, one of the guys clocked I had just finished drinking my water and within seconds he was at my table refilling my glass. I mean c’mon. Will took great care of me. He even suggested the dessert I ended up getting which was the peach cruller. I’m gonna try to come back to do the lunch tasting before I go back home to LA.

​Came here for lunch before visiting MoMA. The outside view was great, and I loved how thoughtful they were to check my schedule and pace the meal according to my needs. I enjoyed the 3-course lunch, and the "egg on egg" was absolutely the best. The service was perfect, especially thanks to Ruth's friendly attitude. Thank you!
