Koloman
About Koloman
Located within the Ace Hotel in the heart of NoMad, Koloman is a contemporary French-Austrian restaurant that marries the sophisticated energy of turn-of-the-century Vienna with the modern pulse of New York City. The interior design draws heavy inspiration from the Vienna Secession movement, offering a visual backdrop of graphic patterns, warm wood tones, and globe lighting that feels both historic and avant-garde. This architectural elegance makes it a standout choice for events that require a refined, intellectual atmosphere without the stiffness of traditional fine dining.
For private events, Koloman offers a versatile multi-level layout that caters to various levels of intimacy. The culinary program, led by Chef Markus Glocker, focuses on elevated European classics—think refined schnitzels, delicate seafood, and intricate pastries—served alongside a curated wine program. Its central location near Madison Square Park makes it an ideal hub for corporate clients looking for a central meeting point or social groups seeking a stylish, design-forward setting for milestones.
