Macaroon = Ravioli?

I went to The Modern with some colleagues last Thursday, and found the dining experience to be disappointing. The dishes I ordered were recommended by the restaurant, but they did not appeal to my taste buds in any way...Besides that, one of their wait staff was not knowledgeable enough. She brought over some petite fours, and when she was asked what the round, crispy desserts were called (they were macaroons), she told us they were "raspberry ravioli". It gave us all a good laugh, but quite embarrassing on the waitress' part. Maybe it was an off night, or I did not order the right dishes, but I would not want to go back to The Modern again soon. There are definitely better restaurants in NYC that are worth my time and $$$.

I first read about The Modern in Wallpaper* Magazine and it was actually voted as the "best new restaurant" by it's editors. You are a cruel and merciless food critic, Tiff. Great pictures!
