"Side by side on the ground floor of the New York MoMA are two spots that compete for the title of the country's best museum restaurant."
"Created by James Beard Award-winning chef Gabriel Kreuther, the menu includes Alsatian-influenced small plates, large plates, and sharable “bites.”" Full review

""Pure class all the way", this Danny Meyer "triumph" is a "truly special" MoMA showcase for "inspired" French–New American cooking served by a "choreographed" team." Full review
"All über-clean lines, buzzing art hounds and pricey prix fixes. Room is stunning, and the food is so spectacular, inventive, and strong on seafood."
"In a clean, modern space at the Museum of Modern Art, overlooking the Sculpture Garden, this restaurant serves an impeccable array of New American and French cuisine."
