Cafe Modern Restaurant Review

Café Modern’s food is easily as artful as its surroundings. Competing with the creations of Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol just a few rooms away are the offerings designed and plated by chef Denise Shavandy. Menu highlights include a starter of smoked bone marrow custard and main dishes like the braised beef cheek and crispy striped bass. Don’t miss desserts, especially the sticky toffee...

Easily as artful as its surroundings, the food at Café Modern is work worth praise. Giving competition to the renowned creations by Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol just a few rooms away are the offerings designed and plated by chef Dena Peterson.

Lunch spot

The setting is beautiful. We were there for Sunday brunch. Each one of us was somewhat disappointed in some aspect of the food, mostly texture rather than flavor issues. Someone back there needs to learn how to make grits. Although they were well-seasoned and generally...

Cafe modern is aesthetically beautiful and there is something coming about the place you just feel relaxed eating there. The food can get a little experimental for me from time to time but I can always find something to eat here.

"One of America's best restaurants" -- Gourmet Magazine

Located within the Modern Art Museum, the cuisine at this cafe is about as 'modern' as it comes. Apple wine-braised brisket accompanied by potato pancakes and roasted garlic pudding, or fettucini with roasted shallots and wild mushrooms in a vidalia onion broth are just two of the possible entrees to select. Cafe Modern taps into Asian cuisine too with their tempura Portobello spring rolls,...
