    Fish and chips
    Troy B.

    This is a great location with a bird's eye view of the vessel. The staff was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. For food, the beef tartare with the fried egg yolk was incredible, the smashed avocado with sweet potato chips, the burrata and the calamari were an amazing start. The fish and chips and the steak were amazing. A really great overall experience.

    Tuna Tartare Caesar Salad Airplane Mode drink and Monkey Business
    Taylor M.

    I think Queensyard might officially be one of my favorite spots The Caesar salad? 10/10 -- easily one of the best I've had. Fresh, flavorful, and just done right. I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried the tuna tartare (I'm usually not a raw girl), but this one surprised me. The spicy sauce balanced everything perfectly, and the crispy rice underneath added the perfect crunch -- that contrast really made the dish. For drinks, my sister had the Monkey Business and the Gold Standard espresso martini -- she loved the Monkey Business, just wished it was a little bigger. I had the Airplane Mode, which was super refreshing and light. I also ordered the burger and fries -- sturdy, juicy, and really satisfying. A solid classic done well. Between the food, drinks, and that beautiful sunset view, the whole experience just felt right. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

    Came for the Aperol Spritz, stayed for the ambiance. The Rose Room feels like a hidden jewel box--lush florals, soft rose tones, and warm, flattering lighting that makes everything (and everyone) look better. It's elegant and romantic without trying too hard, the kind of place where time slows down and conversations linger. There's a refined, almost dreamy energy in the room--intimate but still buzzy, with just the right level of background music to set the mood without overpowering it. Whether you're on a date or out with friends, it feels special and transportive, like a mini escape in the middle of the city. Pair that atmosphere with a perfectly made Aperol Spritz and you've got a top-tier NYC cocktail experience.

    LOVE everything about Queensyard! Lovely modern, contemporary, & inviting decor. Upbeat jazz/house playlist. Stunning view of the Vessel. Impeccably attentive service. Amazing & inventive cocktail list and a food menu so good that you can't help but order several options to share. Pro Tip: Seafood risotto + Truffle fries= WIN! Cheers!

    Crème Brûlée

    What an amazing lunch experience at Queensyard in Hudson Yards, right by the Vessel! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance immediately stood out -- bright, stylish, and complemented by truly beautiful views that made the entire meal feel special. We started by sharing the fried calamari, which was perfectly crispy and seasoned just right -- a fantastic way to begin. For our mains, we shared the Spaghetti Carbonara and the Rigatoni Bolognese. Both pasta dishes were distinct in flavor and expertly prepared, comforting yet refined at the same time. To finish, we shared a crème brûlée that was executed flawlessly -- silky, rich, and topped with the perfect caramelized crust. The service throughout our lunch was very attentive without ever feeling overbearing, which elevated the experience even more. We left feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to coming back. If you're searching for a restaurant that pairs delicious food with amazing views, a beautiful ambiance, and excellent service, this spot is absolutely worth visiting.

    This is a must. Everything was amazing from the service, to the food, to the ambiance. We got seated right by the big windows overlooking the Vessel. Best short ribs and Espresso martini I've ever had! We ordered a few appetizers and loved them all. Friend raved about the fish and chips and the risotto. Make sure to add the truffles. Literally I don't think you can go wrong with anything here. We ordered all the desserts each one was better than the next. Treat yourself, make a reservation, and hopefully you get Anna as your server!

    The pasta dishes were really good and the brussel sprouts were flavored well. The cookies and cream dessert was just ok. The decor is cute - our waiter was a little lack luster. Didn't say much and did not seem like he wanted to be at work that day.

    Yummy food. Great ambiance. Just a bit loud. Good for friends and hanging out. Little tough for a date. Great views!!

    We were lucky enough to sit by the window in this beautiful restaurant at Hudson yards. My friend visiting from California loved the view from the Edge but we got hungry and decided to stop here for a nice meal. Queensyard broght the magic with its views service and amazing food. I ordered the bolognaise and it was out of the world. The noodles were not too heavy and while at first the portion may have looked small it was enough to leave me full and satisfied. The cream sauce was light and flavorful and just the right amount of chopped meat so as not one single item was competing with the other but all around perfectly well done. The salad and her risotto with mushrooms were equally as delicious. Eveything was exceptional to be quite honest. It was one of those meals where you just cant put your fork down until you're finished and which leaves you wowed by both its simplicity and its complexity. Well done on meal fit for two queens!

    Beautiful restaurant and esthetics for you social media folks!!! Great views!!! It's extremely dark, so be prepare to take out your cellphones and turn on your flashlights to view and read the menu (this is why I gave it 3 stars!) the waiters/waitresses are great and attentive. Food and drinks were delish, just be prepared to pay top money for it! (Another reason why I gave it 3 stars!!!) it's your general American cuisine with sky high prices. The Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese, asparagus, and fish and chips were delicious!

    Oysters... They sold out of these ...
    Michael N.

    Amazing food and the ambiance doesn't miss! Celebrating the birthday of one of the most important people in my life she picked this place and she made the right choice . Rib eye steak, Short Rib , Oysters and Brussels sprouts were a standout! The window view was a plus and we appreciated it ! Definitely a place to bring someone special. The service was good.. not great ! Definitely could use a little improvement.

    Queensyard was awesome! We landed a reservation earlier in the day and hit the seating lotto right by the window. The place itself was spacious, lots of seating, low, yet comfortable lighting. Easy to talk at the table and if there was ambient noise I don't remember it. Staff was extremely kind and service was top notch. The food and drinks we ordered ranged from excellent to incredible. The sourdough bread was a surprising highlight that blew us away. That said, I highly remember queensyard and I hope you Enjoy!!

    Truffle Caesar salad
    Shima G.

    I will begin by saying there isn't a bad seat in the restaurant, views for everyone. We were seated quickly upon checking in for our reservations at a table for two by the window directly across from the Vessel with a peek-a-boo view of the water and sunset. Started with the truffle caesar salad, all items were fresh. For main courses did the seared ora king salmon which came with leeks, swiss charred, added a side of whipped mashed potatoes. The other main course did the queensburger and french fries. Both meals were enjoyable. We wrapped with the banana date sticky toffee pudding, with vanilla ice cream, and dark chocolate crunch. Drinks were tasty and did not disappoint. Overall it was a good experience and would return to try other items on the menu.

    Do we have to make a reservation?

    Depending on when you go you could be fine but on the weekends it gets pretty packed. A reservation may be your best bet.

    Lunch at queensyard - ok for older kids?

    Men's Dress Code?

    It's neat casual. While tailored shorts and golf shirts are ok at lunch I suggest nice (not ripped) jeans or khakis and o colored shirt at dinner. It has a well dressed bar scene, so if that's your gig, then dress to impress.

    How can I get someone on the phone to speak with a person for making reservations? Their phone number just goes to voicemail.

    Which has the best view of the vessel? the dinning room or the lounge?

    The dinning room hands down.

    Hi, can you please tell me if you started offering afternoon tea? And can we make reservations?

    Afternoon tea doesn't seem to be back yet, but you can make reservations through resy!

    Read on Instagram about the afternoon tea but cannot seem to find it on the website. Do you have afternoon tea? If so, what days?

    Hello, we are not currently offering Afternoon Tea, however, we do have wonderful dinner and brunch menus available!

It definitely has the vibe of a speakeasy, especially with the jazz band playing. We went with the brunch special which is $35 for bottomless drinks with the purchase of an entree.

We're three young women in the service industry and still felt completely unwelcome--the hostess told us to find our own seating even though the sign said see hostess.

The DJ was underwhelming and the bathroom was vile. The most pleasant part was the below average $20 drinks. For an expensive, well-known spot, this was a very poor experience. Couldn't pay me to return.

The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.

    I've heard "Lunch at The Modern" so many times, one thing I was absolutely going to do during this…read moretrip to NYC was lunch at The Modern, and I'm so glad I did. Located at MoMA, The Modern is a 2 Michelin star restaurant hosting both fine dining, showcasing Chef Thomas Allan's cuisine, and a more casual dining experience in The Bar Room. The restaurant is gorgeous and has a giant glass wall overlooking MoMA's Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, a lovely view. There is an abridged tasting menu of 3 courses, but we opted for the full chef's menu cause we didn't want to miss their signature "eggs on eggs on eggs" and after the supplemental charge, the price was close enough. - Hiramasa and sugar snap peas/crispy ham and cheese--simple and delicious, with the hiramasa being light and fresh and the ham and cheese providing a deeply savory contrast - Chilled lobster, shiso, and green radish--the lobster was cold and sweet but as a personal preference, I don't really enjoy bitter flavors and the slice of lemon under the radish threw it off a bit - Eggs on eggs on eggs--words cannot adequately describe the unctuousness of this dish, it's like eating rich, buttery velvet on a crispy, fluffy log of brioche. As a bonus, they bring you an extra toast to mop up all the tasty bits - Pumpkin seed sourdough and cultured butter--okay I totally didn't know this was meant to be eaten with the next dish so given total lack of self control in the face of pillowy fresh bread and perhaps the smoothest butter on the planet, I may or may not have eaten it all before the trout showed up... they were nice enough to give us more :') - Sea trout with clams and saffron shellfish broth--the fish was cooked to literal perfection and the clam and saffron sauce enhanced everything even more. This fights with the chicken dish for spot #2 in my favorites of this meal - Heritage chicken, provençal asparagus, vin jaune--this reminds me of the stuffed chicken from Per Se and was cooked just as well. The vin jaune sauce was slightly nutty with an incredibly rich flavor and also went well with the bread - Lamb saddle, romanesco, and lemon poached dates--for some reason I thought the chicken was the final savory course and I did not pace myself at all and was so full by this point. The lamb was tender and the date was a wonderful bite though - Wild strawberries and cacao--I can't remember what was all in this but I loved the little wild strawberries as they were like delicious strawberry gummies - Dark chocolate cremeux, meyer lemon, and espresso--delicious with interesting flavors, I haven't had many lemon, chocolate, and coffee combinations - Mignardises of raspberry, lemon coconut, cherry cheesecake--only one I tried was the cherry cheesecake bonbon but my husband ate 'em all so they must've been good lol The MVP of this meal was the melon lemonade mocktail, made with honeydew, jasmine, and pandan. Might be the most perfect drink for me ever made because it was melony with a subtle floral note from the pandan and jasmine, and only lightly sweet and tart, everything I love. Sooooo good! Service was pretty good up until we wanted to pay, and for some reason it became really difficult to find someone to close us out. We waited almost 20 minutes between the mignardises and finally being able to pay, even actively looking around trying to flag someone down. Despite The Modern not being the most innovative of meals, it's easily one of my all time favorites. I definitely prefer food that's executed well over food that's pushing boundaries, and may be back any time I'm in town.

    Hands down the best restaurant experience my wife and I have ever had…read more We wanted to treat ourselves for our anniversary, and I had recently watched their Bon Appétit behind-the-scenes video. Their entire operation seemed so incredibly focused, meticulous, and inspiring that we knew we had to try it. We started with the Iberico ham and the hiramasa tart, both incredible. Then came the chilled lobster, which was super fresh and refreshing, served with an amazing sauce that made me want to lick the plate clean. Every dish felt refined without being overly complicated. The service was extraordinary. You can immediately tell the front-of-house team is operating at an extremely high level and is aware of everything happening in the room at all times. At one point, my wife stepped away to use the restroom just as they were about to serve the first course. Without saying a word or making anything awkward, the staff simply looped around a couple of times until she returned. The moment she sat down, they resumed service seamlessly without missing a beat. That level of awareness and professionalism really stood out to us. Next came the rye bread, which was fresh and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, paired with delicious butter. Then we had the sea bass with crab, which was phenomenal and one of my favorite dishes of the night. But the true star of the show for me was the lamb. My wife and I grill lamb racks often, and I genuinely had no idea this level of perfection existed. It was cooked flawlessly, and the sauce was absolutely incredible. If I was not in public, I probably would have been scraping the bone clean :) Big shoutout to one of the staff members, Stephanie, who completely made our night. We were telling her how excited we were to finally visit after watching the Bon Appétit video, and she casually asked if we wanted a tour of the kitchen after dinner. Honestly, I thought she was joking at first. Then she came back after dessert and reminded us. Even after paying the bill, I still thought maybe she was kidding, but then she walked over smiling and said, "Let's go." My wife and I were completely geeked out. Seeing the kitchen in person was surreal. It was exactly like the video: super meticulous, orders being called out and repeated in unison, everyone moving with total precision and purpose. You could see the Omega clock, the Michelin stars on the wall, and just the overall culture of excellence behind everything they do. We were honestly in awe. Thank you again, Stephanie. That experience meant so much to us. Every time we visit a fine dining restaurant for a special occasion, I always wonder whether it will truly live up to the hype. Some completely miss the mark. Some are very good. But none have delivered on every aspect the way The Modern did. This is officially our favorite restaurant in the world.

Le grand croissant is an amazingly decadent giant croissant filled with Nutella and accompanied with jam, pistachio, honey sides etc. it was great, but seemed like it should've been more a dessert option rather than an appetizer as it was extremely sweet. We booked this out for Mother's Day maybe two weeks in advance and there were decent times in the early afternoon, but I checked closer to the day and it was all booked out.
