Editorial estimate on a 0–5 scale, from published diner scores and critic recognition. OpenTable (3,657 verified diner ratings, 4.7 overall, read 2026-10-12): Food 4.7, Service 4.8, Ambience 4.6; OpenTable's Value (0.2) is out of line with its 4.7 overall and not used. Value 2.5 from Tripadvisor (2,783 reviews, Value 4.0). Acclaim: three Michelin stars (MICHELIN Guide 3/3).[4]
Across the board, the meat dishes are more enjoyable than the plant-based ones.
The one at Eleven Madison Park tastes like Lemon Pledge and smells like a burning joint.
The freshly baked, delicately crisped vegan roll presented with faux butter is a magical creation.
Each tasting menu will always include one or two tableside preparations, an impressive touch that calls to mind classic service.

Photos from readers, kept apart from the pin's sourced media. Rate what you ate or saw, and on a restaurant pin tag the dishes right on your photo.
The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
The source gives the month only - "Eleven Madison Park[5] reopened in June 2021" and "The restaurant began serving this menu in June 2021" - so the pin sits on that month's last day.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
