The Legend Falls Eleven Madison Park was once one of the very best restaurants in the world. It held three Michelin stars for years and even reached #1 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list in 2017. Back then, it was my absolute favorite—the food tasted incredible and every meal felt elegant and special. Unfortunately, after the restaurant switched to a plant-based menu, things changed for the worse. We went back twice after the transition, but that original top-tier flavor and experience just never came back. Here, I’m sharing some legendary photos from its glory days, back when meat was still on the menu. Read less

Eleven Madison Park was incredible once again. I’m constantly amazed by the creativity and beauty of their plant-based menu—rooted in the seasons and completely reimagining what a multi-course meal can be. This isn’t your typical “starter, meat centerpiece, dessert” setup. It’s a thoughtful, artistic journey through flavors, textures, and unexpected delights. I saw another review say “don’t come hungry.” I couldn’t disagree more. I came hungry and left completely full and satisfied. And the staff? Absolutely outstanding. Warm, attentive, and genuinely proud of the experience they’re curating. Truly a special place. Read less

Dining at Eleven Madison Park was an unforgettable experience—one that redefined what plant-based cuisine can be. From start to finish, every element was considered, executed, and delivered with extraordinary care. The food itself was exceptional: beautifully plated, imaginative, and, most importantly, delicious. Each course was a testament to how local, seasonal, and entirely plant-based ingredients can be elevated to the highest levels of fine dining. As someone committed to a vegan diet for reasons of sustainability, health, and animal welfare, I was moved by the restaurant’s conviction that animals need not be part of the equation to create culinary excellence. Service was on par with the cuisine. We were graciously and attentively cared for by the entire team—especially Garrett and Chloe—who made the evening feel personal, educational, and fun without ever being intrusive. Their depth of knowledge and passion for the menu enriched every course. What stood out most, however, was the thoughtfulness. Every detail was considered. Every need anticipated. The team’s understanding of their ingredients and suppliers was impressive, and their willingness to accommodate our pace—staying late so we never felt rushed—was deeply appreciated. It was a once-in-a-lifetime meal that I sincerely hope not to wait a lifetime to experience again. Read less

I came here with my husband for a 7:45pm dinner on an extraordinarily hot day in late June. We made the reservation 28 days prior to the actual event. I had been wanting to try this restaurant so I was saving it for a special occasion (milestone birthday). The space is beautiful and very spacious; but almost so expansive that it felt kind of cold. I felt like I was in the restaurant of a nice hotel in downtown Chicago; not at one of the most famous restaurants in one of Manhattan’s most popular neighborhoods. The restaurant seemed about 65% full when we sat down and slowly got more empty. We were greeted very promptly by various members of the staff. I don’t think we had a primary server but that was never made clear to us either way. About 25 minutes into the experience I asked “could we please get some more insight into the experience we will be receiving?” And at that point one of the servers walked us through the tasting menu. Overall, the service and staff is very good but maybe a little cold. We were at the restaurant for almost three hours. We received eight savory courses and one sweet course. Was the food good, fresh, and unique? Yes. Did the food blow me away based on the hype of the restaurant, reviews, and price of the meal? Absolutely not. The tasting menu plus a few drinks per person was almost $1,200 with tip. While the portion sizes of each course are small, we left very much full. I would likely not come back to this restaurant unless someone else was paying. Read less
