Decent French but... I didn't like the co-ed bathrooms. Kinda creepy. The food is really good, but I was surprised the desserts weren't better than they were, and the prices are high, as you'd expect.

fancy – Well the experience was good. The food looks almost as a piece of art but the bread was not so good, the olive oil was not so good and the staff was "cold". But ok: the three courses were good.

Perfect Restaurant Week Experience – For two years and four Restaurant Week experiences, I've been trying to get reservations to The Modern. Hailed by many as one of the best deals and RW experiences in the city, it can be very difficult to get a reservation at a reasonable time. Luckily I signed up immediately once RSVPs opened and I scored a 7 pm seating. There are so many good things about this place so I'm just going to list them: --Location/decor is lovely! --Service is top notch - they may have as many wait staff as th... read more

Wonderful dining experience! – I have been here on a few occasions and each time has been top-notch. I first dined here for Valentines Day and truly enjoyed every aspect of my dining experience. The food is uniformly good, plated beautifully, the service is impeccable, and tables with views of the garden are to die for! I highly recommend the tasting menu with the wine pairings. It is worth every cent!

Yessss Yesss... JAMES BEARD N ALLL! – Absouletely fabulous interior place... does MoMa proud. The courses are long in the main dining room and Gentlemen please wear a jacket unless you want to end up wearing one of theirs.. The bar room (the only part of the restaurant that has a "a la carte" menu) has very innovative and well balanced food, all small plates. yes its upscale, i really dont mind paying well 4 decent food that this city sometimes confuses with "HYPE". What i do mind is the vagrant snobbery with a dash or racis... read more

Great Bar Dining – have been dining at The Modern since they opened, have been a huge fan of the food and ability to have a quality meal on the way home from work and not commit to a table. have always enjoyed all my meals and I've probably had everything more than once easily, my only 'complaint' is that it's prices in the Bar Room (cocktails and food) have steadily increased, you will spend a nearly $30 for one drink and a soup before tip and tax..unfortunate
