Loved my sliders and the apple dessert. Very busy -‘s tightly packed. Small portions for the price, but I did enjoy.
Had a broken glasse of beer ! The manager just write off the bill without any care. We didn’t want a free beer ! Just expect a proper service in NYC.
I had the BLT sandwich and my partner had the quiche. Both were very delicious, but a bit overpriced for the portion sizes. We ate inside since the terrace was full, but the view from there looked amazing. Nice place for a quick meal while at the MoMA.
Delicious food in sizes you are able to attend the exhibitions. Fantastic view in the garden of MoMa with the sculptures there.
A little pricey, and the wine was about 1/3 of a glass, but the food and service were great.
Great food for a museum cafe. Busy, but nice. Try to get a table outside over looking the court yard if possible. Good coffee.
This was such a nice stop for lunch during our trip to the MoMA. My husband had the ceviche while I had the BLT- highly recommend both! They have a nice variety of drinks and the view and ambience was phenomenal.
The place is beautiful and its wonderful to sit outside. However, I paid for an expensive lemon tart which was horrible and tasted only of heavy amount of egg. When raised a concern, there was zero response from the staff.
The courses were kind of small for the price but it was good
Not a bad break from walking around all the beautiful art!! A little over priced but good!! The view is gorgeous!
Very cute cafe. Stopped by for an iced coffee.
Good for just a cup of coffee. The view is great from the terrace.
My wife and I went today of all days. Probably as crowded as MoMA ever gets! 45 minute wait for a table so we sat at one of the counters, which has USB and regular power outlets, by the way. Very friendly service and very good food. Yes, it would be nicer with the small terrance open, and no, it isnt cheap, but we enjoyed our food and, being members, appreciated the 10% discount. The check includes the tip. Three plates and a glass of wine were around $60. Not a lot for a good restaurant in New York, but perhaps more than some patrons would like. Wish there were cheaper house wine options. I recommend the mushroom/polenta (warm), the cauliflower pesto & yogurt (room temp), and the bitter greens salad, which isnt really bitter. My only complaint, and its a small one, is that I wish the space felt more open.We havent tried the 2nd Floor Cafe since it reopened. That used to be our go-to spot. There are a number of cheaper restaurants a block South, and a great Chinese dumpling house on 54th, so dont feel you must eat at the Museum.
I was looking forward to the new MoMa and then enjoy a light lunch , they should open at 11AM but they were late . Because I was alone could not get a table , I wasn’t happy but wasn’t big deal I ordered the mushroom polenta which came cold. The waitress was nice , actually she keep trying to have a conversation while I really want to enjoy my warm polenta. The constant intervention by the waitress make me left without having coffee. View stunning food not really
I had the mac and cheese; it lacked any flavor and was very small. A small selection of food. I still was hungry at the end, and it was very expensive for the portions of food they are giving out.
Absolutely amazing food, prepared quickly and served by friendly staff in an incredible museum at reasonable prices for NYC. What’s not to like??
Had the salmon on toast which wasnt my favorite thing in the world, but you get what you order. It was just messy enough to try eating with a fork, but the toast made it hard to cut so I probably looked pretty hilarious trying to cut a tiny piece of toast with a butter knife. The atmosphere was remarkable and my waiter was very nice.
Server put in her own tip with my own card without letting me do it. Not great
I visited the museum, Friday July 28th and shortly before my departure I stopped at Terrace 5 for something to eat before I went on my plans that day. I was greeted at my table by Jaime, one of the crew assisting the wait staff warmly, courteously and with an infectious smile. My waiter, Ulysses served the order (Hummus with flatbread & a margarita) and we discussed briefly the delicious concoction and went to find out for me, when asked, what was the pleasantly surprising yet mysterious taste I couldnt make out, which turned out to be mint infused olive oil. The views are beautiful and I felt like I was in some fresh air cafe in a foreign country, delighting in the exceptional service and delicious food.Ulysses and Jaime, and from what I witnessed of the rest of the staff at the bar, the beautiful service in the plates being brought out from the kitchen, the overall cleanliness and layout of the restaurant, the crew at MOMA Terrace 5, are a crew of professional service oriented individuals. Thank you, for a wonderful experience I will not only be sharing and recommending, but returning with my family in the near future. I will be looking forward to seeing them again.
The food is decidedly not appetizing. Their version of a nicoise salad came with flies on the lettuce, and congealed looking mayo on the potatoes. The waiter took it back and brought me a cauliflower leek soup instead which had lumpy melted cheese cubes in it. I couldnt bear to return a second dish. But really, MoMA? This is bad.
Garbage overpriced place with decent view.
Came here and had a good lunch. However I had food poisoning and spent a terrible evening/night. Lets say that I would have expected higher standards from such a pricy place.
I found a crab shell in the onion soup. The server let me know that the tomato soup which I ordered is not available after 15 minutes and I had to wait for more 15 minites for another menu.
Great tasting food.Fairly priced apps.Service was remarkable.
Good lunch spot with great view over sculpture garden, especially if weather is decent.
Food is tasteless and not fresh. Staff is helpful but it doesn t make everything...
The foods good but incredibly expensive for how much you get
Tasty food, but small portions and rather slow service
Beautiful view. Very busy.
Prosciutto melon flat bread is awesome
Its okay...
Beautiful view in the MoMA
Nice snack in the museum! Small, with very high quality ingredients, dishes. Nice service. I would give 5 stars, but unfortunately no food for children on the menu, too bad. Perhaps a positive exception: the warm chocolate cake was an absolute success!
Great cappuccino and super nice staff.
Location: Located near the end of Hoa Ma Street next to the steak Ngoc Hieu at a young age Space: 2 terribly large terraces. Eye-catching decor, much investment. Is one of the suitable cafe to check in luxuriously, sophisticated decoration, beautiful lighting. Menu: Pretty much dishes and drinks. The food is mainly bread and pasta, fried nui, ... But the quality is not very special. Prices are higher than common ground. But with such a space, the price is easy to understand. Food is about 60 - 80k / dish. Drinks from 40-60k / map.
Extremely nice staff, top service.
Nice site

2022-07-01Lemon tart was delicious and refreshing. Chocolate tart was bit too strong and thick for me. Love the vibe here so relaxing. A little pricey overall. Outdoor seating area is pretty cool and quiet (but outdoor chairs dont have cushions and hard to sit). They accept mobile payment.

2022-05-19Located on the top floor of the MoMA this restaurant is stylish and artsy. The indoor space is large but the trace is smaller with nice views of the surrounding city. These spaces get filled up quickly so it may be a good idea to avoid peak days and hours. The hostess will take your details and you could continue your tour of the museum galleries while waiting your turn. An SMS will let you know when your table is ready. The prices here are high as expected. Service was very friendly. If you are looking for a classy meal after satisfying your appetite for art, this could be a very good option. There are additional and more down to earth cafes in the museums lower levels.

2021-12-31My partner and I visited this cafe since we were famished and didn’t want to leave the museum due to the cold weather outside. He ordered the beet-cured salmon ($17) and I ordered the roast beef sandwich ($20). Funnily enough, the server placed the roast beef sandwich in front of him, instead of me and vice versa. Then, the server just left.My partner wasn’t aware that the beet-cured salmon was a cold dish. It would be nice if there was a note on the menu stating it. Also, it would’ve been nice to have a side dish accompanying the entrée.The atmosphere was decent and it is conveniently located in MOMA, but the food was definitely overpriced.

2021-10-13Lovely, nice atmosphere and ambiance. It’s on 6th floor of MoMa and offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Despite small and simple menu, foods are good and even better with a glass of wine)

2022-07-19The Romaine wedge was super tasty. One less star because of the small size.

2021-05-05Nice respite after your tour of MoMa. The outside part of the cafe, you scan the QR code with your phone to get the menu, make your pick, order at the counter, pay for your order ans wait for your order to be ready, which you then carry to your table, so no table service.The food choices include grilled chicken sandwich on ciabatta, with fontine and broccoli rabe, prosciutto on baguette, mixed greens salad and creamy tomato soup. There are also snacks featured in the menu (potato chips, trail mix, and onion dip).The drinks menu offers coffee, several kinds of teas, sodas, Pellegrino, juices, as well as three options of wine by the glass (white, red, rosé), canned cocktails and beers.The outside seating provides beautiful scenic view of the museums sculpture garden.

Knowledgeable.Food are pretty good.We tried 6 different dishes and there are more to try so we will definitely come back.One thing, hopefully they will increase the selections of desserts in the future.

2018-09-13Great airy restaurant. Of the three restaurants in MoMA, this one offers waiter service and isnt as expensive as the other waiter service restaurant downstairs. Dishes are decent, views are great. A great place to take a break while at the museum.

2019-03-12Super pricey for a cafe, but its all about the atmosphere. Nice to take a break from viewing the art and grab a quick bite to eat without having to leave and come back. Food was delicious and you got a decent amount.

2022-01-22Received over-the-top excellent and appreciated service from our server Kenny, and each staff member was so kind and helpful! My baby girl and I enjoyed a little snack (eggplant dip- very delicious) during our MoMA visit and Im so glad we did. Sure, the menu items are on the pricey and small-side but....its a NYC museum café, so what do people expect?Thankful for the lovely experience :)
