"I recently had the pleasure of experiencing brunch at The Modern, and it absolutely blew me away. From start to finish, the meal was a perfect blend of creativity, flavor, and presentation. The highlight of my meal was the Egg on Egg dish—a truly unique experience. It began with a beautifully crispy and buttery breadstick, which was served with a luscious egg yolk mixture, topped with caviar. The addition of a mysterious, refreshing ring element perfectly balanced the richness of the dish, offsetting the butter and egg with a vibrant, fresh taste. Every bite was an explosion of flavor and texture, making this dish an unforgettable start to the meal. The other dishes followed a similar theme of excellence. The lobster ravioli, for example, was a delightful surprise, served with a citrusy and refreshing twist that elevated the dish to new heights. Each course had a refreshing element that kept the meal light, yet satisfying. Beyond the incredible food, the presentation was simply stunning. Each dish was a work of art, meticulously prepared and served with elegance. The Modern perfectly embodies the theme of MoMA, as every dish feels like a piece of modern art—creative, daring, bold, and thoroughly enjoyable. I cannot recommend The Modern enough for anyone looking to indulge in a brunch experience that is both refined and innovative. The attention to detail, both in flavor and presentation, makes it a must-visit for food lovers in New York City."

We tried their restaurant week menu. We love everything. Wine service, however, is suboptimal. View menu

The menu changes frequently during restaurant week, the taste is ok, side dishes are greasy. Service is super good and the environment is quiet. The toilet needs to be upgraded

Excellent experience at The Modern. We sat by the window which looks into the MoMA courtyard, which was great. We were there for lunch and had the 3 course meal, which we thought was great value. The highlights were the chocolate tart and the duck entree.

I booked the Kitchen Table and it was an incredible experience. The food was absolutely amazing and you left feeling full but not stuffed. The atmosphere was very fun and it was unique to see all the chefs in action. This experience was worth every penny and was right up there with any 3 Michelin Starred restaurant. The staff made us feel very comfortable and it was a very enjoyable experience. We had dietary restrictions and they were able to accommodate with ease! If you are able to get a reservation for the Kitchen Table or the dining room for the tasting menu while in NYC, do yourself a favor and book it!

The meal we ended up having was very good 5 stars for food. But we did get a bit bait and switched today. The Modern's signature dish, eggs on eggs on eggs, was recently removed from the lunch pre fixe menu. That dish alone was half the reason we (and I think many others) were visiting the restaurant, so I think it would have been worth bringing up that it was removed from the menu when I called the day prior. We ended up going with the tasting menu for $275, which included the eggs on eggs on eggs, and it was delicious. But the whole experience was a bit tainted by the menu change I was planning on having a $150 lunch, not a $275 one. Further, the pacing of the meal felt rushed, and (with t...

"We went to Bread N Wine on a early Saturday afternoon for brunch. We were greeted and seated by the servers who were attentive. The food was okay the bread was really soft and fresh. My partner got the French Lentil Soup, Spinach and Tomato Egg Bake andI got the French onion soup, egg omelette with spicy tomato avocado and onions. I wasn 't happy with my omelette because thespicy just meant it was covered in hot sauce within. For beverages, we got chai lattes (we later found out it wasn 't tea basedbut rather coffee) and we had the option of oat milk, almond milk or regular milk. In terms of our overall experience we feltby the end too many things were steering the experience south; the worst was when we were accused of using counterfeit money topay for the tip. There was no special marker used to prove that the money was counterfeit or technology to back up this claim.That experience alone left a bad taste in our mouth as we left embarrassed by that claim, kind of shook from that, we stilladded the tip to our credit card 18%. As we walked out and talked about how weird that was, the owner of the business nextdoor overheard us and asked to see the $20 bill he showed us that our money was real and validated what we knew, that themoney wasn 't counterfeit. When we went back into Bread N Wine to discuss this there was no apology, just well, it felt thatway , shrug. It left a terrible feeling. We would not go back after that, this is not how you treat customers from start tofinish, hence the 2 star review."
