The Wright (named after Frank Lloyd) opened to the public at the Guggenheim Museum on December 11, 2009, where the Guggenheim Caf used to be. This sleek, modern space was awarded the 2010 James Beard Foundation Award for outstanding restaurant design. The striking feature of this bright room is the multicolored installation titled The Horizon by artist Liam Gallic.The menu is helmed by Rodolfo Contreras, a David Bouley protg . Knowing this, I was expecting rather stellar fare.I was really surprised to find that the food was disappointing. There were no surprises on the plate nothing I tasted made me raise my eyebrows with glee. It all just sort of fell very flat. The chicken was the best dish we tried but even that was served almost cold. This coupled with sweet but lackadaisical service, really didnt offer the kind of experience I expected.I think The Wright doesnt measure up to the greatness of similar Museum food spots such as Danny Meyers The Modern at the MOMA, which is par excellence. It has a lot to work on to match the extraordinariness of the space and the building it is housed in. therestaurantfairy.com
The Gazpacho. Utterly fresh and cold. Very thin, almost no texture. Saturated with flavor. So delicious that I only let my companion have a small sip. Generously offering him all of the pasta…only because I couldn’t bear to part with any of the soup. He hasn’t let me forget it, either!
Just loved it! Gorgeous settings, great location, nice comfort food, and very affordable.
