David Clark: Bordeaux by the glass is working. Fruity, tannins hang a bit heavy in the mid and finish.
Mo Moorman: The house Bordeaux is very drinkable. Brush up on yr French wine types if you plan to order anything else. Sauce on steak grows on you--quickly. Really buttery but hard to decipher. Yum.
Gajtana Simonovska: Very good steak frites and salad prix fixe for $27. Their house Bordeaux is quite good (and affordable) at $11.50 for a half carafe. Feels almost like being in Paris:-)

Andrea Barrezueta: 10-top of foodies and everyone loved it, especially the scallops with cauliflower, the steak tartare, brussel sprouts and last but not least the crispy chicken. Job well done The Modern!

HOBNOB Magazine: I just adore this place, decor-wise and food-wise. Prefer the bar room over the dining room. The mushroom soup is healthy and delicious.

Lebanese Restaurant · Sutton Place · 5 tips and reviews
Eric Willemaers: Tasty, fresh Lebanese food, nice service, nice open space 🌟
Michael G.: Beautiful decor in a spacious setting, ideal for large parties. The food was surprisingly healthy and light. Nothing in particular stood out as fantastic, but the food was solid.
Morgan McKee: Newer place, and it’s obvious. Not so crowded and service a little frazzled. However, food was decent and the space was nice. Could be something if food steps it up and service is improved.

The Wall Street Journal: Smaller plates include the roasted lemon chicken on tarragon and couscous ($11). Among the larger entrees and sandwiches, try poached fish with mint salad ($20) or the pulled-pork sandwich ($10). Read more.

The Corcoran Group: Great Midtown business lunch spot. Try the bacon lobster roll.
Eater: Cocktail maven Julie Reiner revamped the list and the bartenders. As has always been the case, the room is dark, romantic, and old school--a perfect place for fun rendezvous or a business drink.
Bergdorf Goodman: It's a BG New York City Secret! Victoria Beckham loves this uber chic and classic bar. Read more.

Lauren Kiesel: Amazing tartare, cheeses, and wine. Great service and vibes. The music choice was funny and not fitting for the mood though -- Billy Joel and Classic rock
Harry: Nice, cozy little wine bar. Decent selection of wines and finger food. Conveniently located. However, the music does not suit the place and decor imho
Sexy LF: Nice selection of wines by the glass and a great, classy after-work scene. This isn't your popcorn and peanuts on the counter crowd.
