2 Michelin star meal for $100 including tip in NYC (no drinks). Some of the best service I have seen in my life. Modern restaurant attached to MoMa, brilliant menu, fantastic ambience. I am still gushing!! The chilled tuna, spicy lamb, and grilled octopus dishes were soaking with interesting flavours and seriously some of the most delightful things I’ve eaten. Grilled octopus with ricotta dumplings in a duck broth were in particular unique and well-executed. We had the Tarte Flambee which was nice - just less impressive than the rest. Frankly I would trade it for the fries or fried chicken bar snack / appetizer (they looked so. Good.) For desert peanut toffee pudding w banana miso ice cream was so well done. All the dessert looks / sounds amazing, you can’t go wrong. Great twists on things, well balanced, unique and impressive. Beyond 5/5 great food dishes, the servers were exceptional. The waiter was kind and directive without being pushy. He really helped with selection! The tables were cleared with perfection - not too rushed - but not leaving dirty plates for so long. Each dish was presented by the person placing it on the table. Water refill was done automatically. It really felt like our dinner was being handled so masterfully in the background, never had to lift a finger. There’s a great vibe to this spot. Something about serving fried chicken & fries at a two-star Michelin restaurant - it feels very warm, people-oriented and just not snobby. The drinks menu is inspired by a current exhibit. Really neat idea that weaves the concept well. The food they produce feels like modern art. The complementary bread and butter were worth writing home about. It was seriously a culinary highlight. Served perfectly warmed and toasted, it was an excellent way to begin the night. I would come back just for the bread. Lighting is really nice - it feels like the room itself is a piece of art and you are dining within it. The volume is “perfect” for conversations. I just love this place. Will be back. They have good bar snacks, great cocktails, fabulous wine selection (including dessert wines), amazing entrees, and the most seamless service. Have not been this blown away in a long time. Vegetarian options: Some, mainly meat-forward though Kid-friendliness: Saw a few kids inside! No kid menu Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I decided to try the The Bar Room at the Modern since it was Restaurant Week. The place was buzzing for a Friday during the summer. I was greeted warmly by the front desk, my waiter was great and very attentive. He helped me select the perfect wine for my lunch. I had the white gazpacho, toasted almonds and trout roe, the artichoke and lobster ravioli with marinated peppers, and dessert was a hard choice, but I decided to try the malted chocolate mousse with fried potatoes. Each course was plated so nicely and everything was delicious. The white gazpacho was perfect for a hot summer day. My first bit of the mousse, I took a little of everything, which was the best way to enjoy it. The sweetness and crispy potatoes were a perfect match. My compliments to the pastry chef. I went to the Museum after lunch to enjoy some art. I would highly recommend The Bar Room. I will definitely be back. Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
