Kreuther, who worked at Atelier in the Ritz-Carlton, can and does dazzle. - Frank Bruni

Danny Meyer's midtown modern decor restaurant in the MoMA has slowly developed into a fine dining place after a shaky start. Expect qulaity preparations and very good service. The room still has an edge that makes it less than the most comfortable dining place in Manhattan.
