Sophia DuffieJune 14, 2014They treat you like a princess on your birthday! Free birthday cake and wine on the terrace
Gilt CitySeptember 21, 2011We love Chef Gabriel Kreuther's lunch menu, which highlights dishes like quail terrine with shaved fennel and liverwurst with pickled mushrooms.
Alicia LuqueAugust 19, 2011Great nouveau american cuisine! The Steak Tartare, Upside Down Tuna and Tenderloin dishes were fantastic! Very nice atmosphere and fabulous service!
Kristy HomanMarch 17, 2013The foie gras terrine blew any foie that I have ever had including the foie that I had at Per Se.
Grace LFebruary 15, 2015always ask questions about the menu - delicious cocktails and get the chocolate cart!
Zaz HarrisJune 28, 2013Try the Maine Lobster Gnocchi - Of course, the food here is gorgeous AND delicious
Jinnie LOctober 28, 2014food was absolutely fantastic! amazing presentation it looks like art, not food♥
Aaron DuncanJuly 16, 2011Ensure book table in main dining room - Great nouveau American Cuisine - the chocolate trolly is amazing! Great date place ..
The wild mushroom soup is a fave!! Spaetzle sounds random but is a fantastically delicious dish, beautiful texture and flavour combo.
Dan SohaydaDecember 2, 2017I may have just picked the wrong plates, but I just was not a fan of this place. For the cost it did not measure up. Food was not special and sommelier not willing to help pair wines seemed very odd.
Paul SteketeeApril 16, 2013Really good food and nice service. Ask to take your dessert in the garden.
Nick JohnsonDecember 8, 2014I don't have enough good things to say about the chicken stuffed with pistachios. The scallops were far too salty, however.
Search for DeliciousAugust 17, 2011What better way to spend an evening than enjoying a cocktail after a relaxing walk through Moma's beautiful galleries. We recommend the Rose Petal drink.
Erin FitzgeraldMarch 18, 2012one of my favorites. try the pralines of foie gras terrine with a girovita cocktail
K@rTh!kk ReDd!June 1, 2013Upscale Restaurant with a modern twist on food... Excellent service & ambience...
F-Factor NutritionSeptember 5, 2012Alaskan King Crab Salad “Cannelloni” is amazing. Order with dressing on the side.
mike schusterApril 20, 2012The prix fix menu is a good value, you get several extra little dishes & lots of chocolate at the end.
2Plus2NYCReviewJune 21, 2011A la carte offerings are available in the Bar Room (or during lunch), where A+K stopped in for a cocktail. Read more
LittleosloNovember 22, 2013Good presentation but the butter should not be too hard for the guest to cut :)
Ian MathesonApril 30, 2011Crazy bag check system. No back packs allowed by can't leave cameras and valuables in the bag you check. End up carrying a clear plastic bag around. Solution: take a see through back pack!
Huey OAugust 6, 2011The kitchen and staff here were very good about catering to my vegan diet. What a great gastronomic experience.
Eaters HeavenApril 6, 2016Pink champagne, cavatelli, foie gras and chocolate beignets. Skip the crab fritters, not impressed.
Debra AskanaseNovember 18, 2011Run, do not walk to the bar and order the Crispy Shrimp with foam lemongrass dipping sauce (touch of jalepeno makes it soar).
Annie AlfstadOctober 27, 2014Food is good but for the price a little overrated. Beautiful place. Love the moma.
Concert Ticket AgencyOctober 22, 2012high falutin' fare for a high falutin' night! Start out at MoMa...eat here...end up over at Radio City or Carnegie Hall. Kicking it high class!
Simon BuckinghamJuly 8, 2012Bring a jacket/ cardigan as the AC is on VERY high during the Summer ;-)
Andreas V-manJune 1, 2010If it's your bday they give you a small slice of pistachio cake after the chocolate tray but before the little ice cream cone at the end
3stepzigzagAugust 21, 2010Nothing beats the triumvirate of Liam, Anthony, and Juan Alberto at the bar on a Thursday night!! I love these guys. Also, they will protect you from the sleazy, slurring old guys on expense accounts
Michele CenzerJune 5, 2011Mushroom soup is excellent. Citrus carpaccio is delicious. The spaetzle was a tad salty.
Ya Fen WongAugust 31, 2018The 8 course meal was not filling. We expected a filling and tasty experience. Better luck next time...elsewhere.
