'Per Se' and 'The Modern' in Midtown Ranked Among America's Top 100 Restaurants

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — Spending more than $100 for a plate might empty your wallet, but you will probably get your money's worth at two pricey Midtown restaurants that are being recognized nationally for their positive reviews.

Per Se, located in The Shops at Columbus Circle, and The Modern, which sits on the ground floor of The Museum of Modern Art on 53rd St. between Fifth and Sixth, were among 100 restaurants praised for "consistently putting out delicious dishes, providing impeccable service, and paying attention to every detail to orchestrate one-of-a-kind dining experiences time and again" by OpenTable.com.

The list by OpenTable.com is "based on an analysis of 10,000,000+ reviews of more than 24,000 restaurants across the country — all submitted by verified diners," according to the site.

Both restaurants are New American and French restaurants with Michelin stars. Per Se, which has notched three Michelin stars, has enjoyed rave reviews for its food but also woos its patrons with its views of Central Park. The Modern, which is divided up between two spaces — The Modern and The Bar Room — boasts two Michelin stars and three stars from the New York Times.

Both restaurants have 4.8 ratings out of 5 on OpenTable.com, and both enjoy thousands of positive reviews. Yelp reviews for both restaurants are positive as well, but neither has scored quite as high as they have on OpenTable.com. The Modern has a 4.2 rating on Yelp — also out of 5 — and Per Se has a 4.5 rating.
