    We love the Modern. It never disappoints. The space, the service and the food all terrific. We enjoy watching the antics in the lovely courtyard as well.

    A memorable experience from beginning to end. I gave the restaurant a heads up that I was proposing to my girlfriend before coming in and when we came in they all greeted us with a congratulations! The staff and kitchen took care of us really well and made us feel special while finding a balance of knowing when to just let the two of us enjoy the experience alone. Thanks again!

    Nice environment and portion of food. However, didn't find much creativity in the food, which is quite surprising.

    Our first time there was amazing. From sitting down to having the menu presented and reviewed in detail to the sommelier helping pair wine for the courses, the experience was more than what we expected. The service was great and the food was out of this world.

    Beautiful scenery, great food, excellent service, Jason and Nick took great care of us and we had a wonderful experience. A birthday my wife won't forget. She loved her food as well as mine, we shared dishes. Each of us chose 4 different dishes and they were equally as beautiful as they were delicious. I especially liked the grilled scallops, the salmon, the beef fillet and for dessert my black forest cake with cherries and cherry blossom ice cream was outstanding. Great way to celebrate while in NYC.
