Modern at MOMA has excessive amounts of oil that overpowers salmon.

Presuming you mean the former, Eleven Madison Park has a sensational tuna tartar on the a la carte lunch menu. http://www.elevenmadisonpark.com/lunch.pdf Wed Nov 05 17:41:49 -0800 2008 4148943 13867 RGR 2 4152603 Hi RGR, You know I am a big fan of EMP, but I have to say the tuna tartare is relatively mediocre. In fact I considered it as the weakest dish on the entire menu.
