The
Modern
is
hands
down
one
of
the
best
dining
experiences
I've
ever
had.
Everything
was
flawless
from
A-Z
and
it
has
honestly
become
one
of
the
most
special
memories
in
my
lifetime
now.
My
boyfriend
and
I
came
here
to
celebrate
our
2-year
anniversary
during
lunch
time
and
we
decided
on
the
Prix
Fixe
(150
per
person)
option,
which
comes
with
4
courses.
For
the
first
course,
they
bless
you
with
a
dish
called
the
"eggs
on
eggs
on
eggs",
which
is
a
nicely
presented
dish
with
a
poached
egg
yolk
with
egg
custard,
caviar,
and
a
perfectly
toasted
brioche
garnished
with
pickled
onion
and
dill.
It
was
an
AMAZING
start
to
the
meal
and
they
give
you
additional
brioche
to
ensure
that
you
appropriately
scoop
as
much
of
the
dish
as
you
can.
For
the
second
and
third
course,
we
got
the
hiramasa
with
yuzu,
radish
and
frozen
olive
oil
and
the
scallop
with
celeriac
ravioli,
aged
parmesan
and
spinach,
as
well
as
the
grilled
lobster,
romaine
lettuce
and
spicy
chorizo
and
the
venison
glazed
in
cognac
with
turnips
and
black
truffle.
Everything
was
wonderful,
but
we
especially
loved
the
hiramasa
and
the
venison
dishes.
The
hiramasa
and
yuzu
concoction
is
extremely
refreshing
and
the
venison
is
the
best
I've
ever
had
/
basically
melted
in
your
mouth.
I
would
highly
recommend
picking
these
two
together.
Lastly,
for
the
fourth/dessert
course,
we
chose
the
chocolate
tart
with
buckwheat
and
milk
ice
cream
and
the
lemon
frozen
yogurt
with
black
sesame.
We
were
both
in
awe,
and
for
me,
I
was
especially
in
awe
at
the
lemon
frozen
yogurt
dessert
dish.
It
was
so
aesthetically
beautiful
and
I
loved
the
crunchy
texture
that
was
added.
It
felt
like
a
deconstructed
lemon
bar,
but
on
steroids.
Since
it
was
our
anniversary,
the
chef
kindly
sent
over
an
additional
dessert
that
was
influenced
by
the
classic
dole
whip,
which
was
a
pleasant
surprise
and
was
absolutely
delicious
too
(especially
because
there
was
a
candle
included.
So
cute!).
Also,
the
classic
cocktails
are
so
well-made
here!
I
highly
recommend
the
espresso
martini,
the
dirty
martini,
and
the
manhattan.
Overall,
we
loved
this
restaurant
SO
much,
but
what
greatly
stood
out
to
us
was
the
service
and
the
kitchen.
Our
server,
Ulysses,
was
easily
one
of
the
best
servers
we
have
ever
been
graced
with.
He
is
literally
the
epitome
of
a
perfect
server
-
personable,
funny,
charming,
genuine,
knowledgeable,
thoughtful,
and
professional.
During
our
trip,
he
surprised
us
with
a
kitchen
tour
where
we
got
to
meet
the
head
chef,
Tom
Allen,
as
well
as
the
kitchen
staff,
and
I
swear,
I
am
still
thinking
about
all
the
emotions
I
felt
there.
My
boyfriend
and
I
had
never
been
to
a
true
Michelin
star
restaurant
and
we
are
always
watching
YouTube
videos
about
how
a
successful
NYC
restaurant
runs,
and
to
be
immersed
into
it,
be
given
the
chance
to
take
photos,
and
to
meet
the
head
chef
(who
is
SUCH
a
cool,
talented,
welcoming,
and
friendly
guy
too
by
the
way)
and
hardworking
team,
I
couldn't
help
but
get
teary
eyed
in
there.
This
is
a
very
long
review,
but
I
wanted
to
tell
our
story
as
best
as
I
could,
so
that
you
can
vividly
understand
how
phenomenal
this
restaurant
is.
I
absolutely
encourage
everyone
to
visit
this
restaurant
at
least
once
because
it
is
an
experience
of
a
lifetime!
Thank
you
so
much
again
to
Ulysses
and
the
Modern
for
everything
:)
