What People Are Saying About 11 Madison Park
The Editor
Justin Hartung

Located in a former bank in the MetLife building, the cavernous space mixes art deco loftiness with warm, natural touches. The high ceiling, grand lanterns and zigzag motifs are softened with comfy black leather furniture, leaf-patterned insets and shrubbery that seems to pull Madison Park right in through the soaring windows. Service is efficient and knowledgeable without a trace of snootiness. Chef Daniel Humm occasionally rounds the room to greet diners, and his thorough hospitality is mirrored in the amuse bouche--including a truffle pastry--that accompany the various prix-fixe menus. Seafood dishes are knockouts: The ambrosial prawn consomme and supple salmon in fennel sauce reveal a complexity of flavor. Seductively soft suckling pig confit stands proudly unfettered.

Stellar in every respect, this is one of the most positive restaurant experiences one can have in NYC. This restaurant undoubtedly has one of the most professional staffs I have experienced, at par with 3 star Michelin establishments in Paris, NYC rival Daniel, and Cyrus in Sonoma. The service, exquisite food and retro ambiance make this a luxurious night out.

The food was very good, bordering on excellent. But....the atmosphere does not warrant the price. Very good service, not great though. When having a special experience like this over a couple/few hours and paying those prices I really don't want to hear all my neighbor's conversations. The menu is unique both in ingredients and in ordering style. Formal; check. Good food; check. Overpriced based upon service/atmosphere; check.

I went here for my birthday dinner the other night and it exceeded my high expectations. The service was impeccable and the food was innovative and delicious. I got the three course prix fixe menu, which was just the right amount of food. I started off with the lobster and calamari gnocci and had the chicken as my entree. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was so moist it could be cut without a knife. I couldn't decide on one dessert, so I got two, both of which were extraordinary. The wait staff was extremely friendly and catered to our every needs. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a very special meal in one of New York's most most beatiful dining rooms.
