Mad About the Modern!

Hello Foodies,

We confess that we're mad about the Bar Room at the Modern. As you can see, it's a sophisticated romantic cafe located in the Museum of Modern Art. Chef Gabriel Kreuther remembers his Alsatian roots in his menus for both Bar Room and the restaurant a.k.a The Modern. You feel like you've been to Europe but without the jetlag.

These are the dishes that knocked our socks off...Slow Poached Farm Egg "In A Jar" with Maine Lobster, asparagus, and sea urchin froth. A dish you don't want to end and the WOW dish for the evening. ...Charred Octopus with chickpea-radish salad, salsa verde and crispy capers. The crispy capers were a fun discovery.

For main courses, the Crispy Yellowfin Tuna with roasted asparagus, greenmarket string beans, warm tomato vinaigrette and shaved bottarga was ordered along with the Wow entree - the Duck Confit with "Pommes Lyonnaise" and frisee salad. The Alsatian white wine expertly complemented our food. And please save room for their delicious desserts.
