Description

Summary: Bright dining rooms overlook the MoMA sculpture garden while savoring inventive French American fare

The Modern, nestled beside MoMA, crafts two distinct experiences in one address. In the dining room the four course prix fixe and in the Bar Room the more casual bar menu share the same kitchen and a dedication to seasonal, high quality ingredients such as lobster and bone marrow crusted beef. Guests are treated to a moving wine list of Alsatian and Burgundian selections, thoughtful tableside service, and a rotating sculpture garden view that makes every course feel like a small art installation.
