An integral part of Danny Meyer's ever expanding restaurant empire (Gramercy Tavern, Union Square Cafe, Tabla et al), Eleven Madison Park is quintessential Gotham. Marble floors, impossibly high ceilings, elegant wrought-iron chandeliers and tall windows overlooking the park distinguish this art deco dining room that was once a bank. The visually striking Gramercy restaurant has revamped and gained serious momentum since James Beard Foundation 2012 national Outstanding Chef award winner Daniel Humm took the helm in 2006. Colorful and aesthetically intriguing food presentations and reputably unpretentious and helpful service render EMP a crowd favorite and dining destination for out-of-towners. Humm has taken the progressive cuisine in a more French direction, and indulgent menu standouts include foie gras, Vermont suckling pig, Muscovy duck for two with lavender honey, and Black Angus beef tenderloin with Bordelaise sauce. Diners can choose a three-course prix fixe meal or opt for the tasting menu with optional wine pairings. While you're splurging, you might as well kick back with a Monkey Gland (gin, absinthe, grenadine, orange juice) or a Mississippi Buck (bourbon, ginger-infused lime syrup and soda).
"Eleven Madison Park, which opened in 1998, now ranks among the most alluring and impressive restaurants in New York."
- Frank Bruni,
The New York Times"[Chef] Daniel Humm, has come up with a condensed version of suckling pig that is part indulgence, part high-minded haute cuisine showpiece, and part pure barnyard pleasure ... you'll be tempted to finish, then order it again."

New York magazine
"In a city filled with hyper-decorated restaurants that look more like Hollywood stage sets than places to dine, Eleven Madison Park stands apart, exuding glamour that seems inborn."
