Place use to be amazing and I miss that. Use to get a decent amount of food. But apparently now we get a quarter amount food. With double the price. Spent 100$ and only had two drinks and left hungry. read more

We absolutely love the atmosphere, service and most of all the fresh food made to order! It's our go to date night spot to kick things off. The patio and bar seating are equally awesome. read more

My partner and I rarely go out to dinner, but when we do we always come here. Bauhaus has a new menu of cold items, which was perfect for the extremely hot weather. I got the cauliflower ceviche and my partner got the tofu vermicelli. Both items were so darn good, I've been craving them ever since. We also got their watermelon salad that they had as a special. The watermelon salad was bright, sweet, with a little bit of spice from the Tajin. Can't wait to go back. read more

I had the lamb pie and crab roll and it was so Comforting and delicious, I can't wait to Come back here and explore more of the menu. Def a foodie joint with great music, small neighborhood ambiance, a great find in Modesto read more

Great place. Glad we found it and it's so close to our home. Many Vegan options! Plenty of beer on tap and some N/A Kombucha. Food is made right in front of you if you sit at the bar. I highly recommend this place. read more

Cool, tiny place to enjoy a few appetizers and some wine. The bartender who also is your server and chef patiently walked us through the menu and mentioned the "must-haves," like the pastrami sandwich. Not totally into pastrami but this one melted in your mouth and is worth it! We then went rogue from her advice and enjoyed the roasted asparagus and then a crostini with berries and pork. It's incredible how they make all these dishes with a convention oven - it was fun to watch. I enjoyed the location because of the tasty vegetable offerings (although asparagus is offered year round - something seasonal would be preferred) and the ability to try a few things. As a work-traveler it is nice to not commit to a full entree and enjoy a few things! read more

Great little place! Good list of craft beers and wines. The two guys working were very helpful and kind. We ordered the pastrami plate and buffalo cauliflower pastry, and both dishes were amazing! If you come, you have to order dessert. We had the peanut butter and jelly pastry. We will definitely be coming back to Bauhaus! read more

I have always wondered when I would write a review for a restaurant and give it a 5 star. This place brings a whole new level of attention, delicious food, service and atmosphere. I went here with my boyfriend for my birthday. We went for his birthday last August and I hade been craving it ever since. I was greeted by the staff with a hello birthday, all staff wishing me well. We were then seated to a room even more unique than I remember. To my dismay, the dish I was desiring was not on the menu. The waiter graciously offered to see what he could do. At the time, I had no idea but I now know that it was the owner he came over and reassured me that he would take care of it. The food was delicious. And the feeling of so well looked over was truely amazing. Thank you! read more

Cute little hole in the wall place. Everything we ordered was made hot and in front of us and was delish. The service was spot on. Their drinks were awesome too. Even though it was a tapas place, the portions were perfect. The staff has excellent recommendations and was very attentive. I will be back. read more

Great little restaurant. I felt like I was in a pub in San Francisco. Great food very different. Pickled and roasted veggies. Meat pastries and plates with variety of meat choices. Highly recommend. Good beer and wine too. read more

What a gem this place is! First off, you are greeted by a wonderful staff and the owner himself, Tye, working the bar/kitchen whilst simultaneously keeping up with all of the patrons' banter. The food is exceptional; you will not go wanting for flavor or variety. This is definitely a 'boutique' restaurant and bar. The interior is relatively small, but with smart usage of the space there are plenty of bar stools/tables and a back dining area. The atmosphere is lovely, rustic, and very appealing to the beer enthusiast. You'll find a dozen or so taps all pouring fresh local craft brews (when I say local, I mean relatively local -- almost all are California, some are right from Modesto!). The menu (both food and beer) change frequently, and the ingredients are top notch. To speak to that directly, we were offered the last clams in the lowboy (delicious btw, laden in garlic and butter with basil, sage, parsley). Normally I would never accept the last of any seafood ingredients simply out of paranoia and past bad experience, but all 4 popped open and were perfectly cooked and delicious. This indicated to me that this place has a high turnover of fresh ingredients, something I always look for and typically find in a real foodie's place like this. Some other menu items to note included the bone butter (of course this was amazing, dotted with roasted garlic and fresh thyme), Tye's "sorta torta" which was an explosion of peppers and pork, and the extensive savory pastry menu (we'll be back to try these as we ran out of time as the night ended). Simply put you must drop by sometime and sample the wares -- it's already my favorite spot in the Modesto area. Next up is the sister restaurant, Bauer's 66! edit: I'd like to add, Tye does all of his own meat curing and smoking here, even their own pickling. It's a true from-scratch experience. We also had a charcuterie platter I forgot to mention, smoked pork loin/pastrami/beef/various cheeses/pickles... I mean, it was just perfect. There is a reason why this place has a 5-star rating -- it's a proper eater/drinker's spot, and you can get a great bite to eat and a drink right up until 11:45 at night! read more

This place is Spectacular ! The Beers were well chosen and interesting. The FOOD is varied and Delicious read more

We tried this place for the first time. Wow! Really cool vibe, great food, amazing service. Very small so I hesitate to rate so high because I shouldn't be able to get a table next time! read more

Food and service here was awesome! Came with my cousin an hour before closing, and Tye was very welcoming and friendly. I actually asked him to serve me something he thought I would like and he was pretty on point. The meat was perfection, especially since I also have braces. I was able to eat it easily. No complaints here. Good food & good service. Also found out he owns another place so can't wait to bring other cousins next time we're in Modesto! Just an FYI - this place is CASH ONLY so be sure to stop by an ATM to withdraw some cash before coming through. read more

I had high hopes for Bauhaus, but maybe they were a bit too high... While it's a quirky and charming space--small without feeling cramped, even on the small patio out back--and the staff is friendly and attentive, the actual experience left much to be desired. The menu feels a bit lackluster and not as varied as it first appears; the cold plates and pickled plates are also topping options for the savory pastries which overall feels limited. And while the plates are indeed constructed in the manner of tapas, it lacks the traditional spirit of tapas; I'm used to tapas in the sense of a leisurely snacking experience to fuel an afternoon/evening of drinking with friends but there wasn't much about our experience that made me consider hanging out for any lengthy period of time. My other grievances are: it's a cash-only establishment (I'd be way more inclined to splurge when not sticking to a cash budget), the value of portion-to-price for plates seems unbalanced, and there's no website (it's 2017--why is there no website?--and personally, I like to have some idea of what's offered given my food restrictions). There are some positives though: the beer selection is pretty legit, the sangria is really good (fruity but not sugary sweet) and the staff are quick to resolve any issues you may have with your order. I'd be interested to check back in, in a few months from now to see if there are any changes to the menu (or maybe to their cash-only policy) but for now, once is enough. read more

Not sure how I haven't ever left a review on this fine Establishment!!!! Just like Bauer's 66 1/2 this location iss amazing. I do t drink so I come here for the food. Everything I i have to tried has been AMAZING! Tye's creations are always amazing and well thought out. He is great at takiNg simple ingredients and turning them into a masterpiece. Your pallet will always thank you! I have never had bad food from any of Tye's locations. read more

So happy they opened this place! They have a fantastic IPA selection with delicious food to pare with it. Everything I ordered I absolutely loved. My favorite is the Brie pastry with walnuts, honey and black berries. Brie is my guilty pleasure in life. No joke, any Trader Joe visit results in closet eating Brie.... ummmmm cheese! Anyhoo! Fun place! Good prices for the tiny portions. Didn't get bloaty full, but totally satisfied. Perfect for a night out with friends. Probably not the place you want to go to to get a filling meal. read more

This is our favorite place in town to go for drinks, unique food, and desserts. Always excellent service, food, and atmosphere!!

Delicious. I love the tapas style simple menu. We ordered four plates to share and had enough for both of us. We had the buffalo cauliflower pastry, the vegan ceviche (!!), the potatoes with roasted garlic, and the honey walnut blackberry pastry. All delicious! read more

If you're looking for a low key but different experience in Modesto, this is a must. The many is always changing to great options and there isn't anything that we haven't liked. A stop here will be really enjoyable for the whole group. Keep in mind that they won't rush you out of the building, but if you have a spot, it's yours until you're done. Lastly, it's a small building, so get there early so you can have a spot. read more

I'm such a huge fan of Bauer's, that when I heard the owner opened up a tapas place, I couldn't wait to try it. Overall, the place is really cool, very cozy atmosphere, rustic with a small patio out back. The food was well prepared and very tasty, particularly the beef round, which was so tender and delicious. My gripe would be that the menu is quite limited. With small plates places, I'm used to more extensive offerings so you can try a variety of dishes. That, and the cash-only policy, is a little disappointing, but not enough to stay away. I'm looking forward to returning. read more

Food was delicious especially the waffle ice cream dessert. The place is cute and the servers were nice and attentive. I'll definitely will come back again. Next time I'll try the roasted bone marrow. read more

Tai Bauer built this place, by hand, and almost entirely by himself. It's a true labor of love, and it shows, not only in the furnishings, but it the individually prepared tapas and attention to detail. We've been there twice, the puff pastry with creative toppings and fillings is really good, as are all the house smoked meats. Oh ya, the beer list is creative and well rounded. Of course! Cash only, so hit the ATM beforehand. read more

Food is great. Amazing even! The atmosphere is super pleasant. The beer/cider selection is always good. It gets busy, and being a small place, it means you get to be friendly with other patrons and the staff. Settle in, get cozy, and have a good time. read more

Amazing food and amazing service. Chef had amazing suggestions and the servers were on top of refilling drinks and checking in on us. Will definitely go back! read more

Wow!!! Finally a great restaurant in Modesto. The place is small so go early. They are known for their smoked meats but have amazing vegetarian and vegan food too. It tapas so you order a bunch and share. We got fingerling potatoes, asparagus, scampi, salmon over arugula salad, and an amazing mushroom savory pastry!!! Order it! It's like a mini pizza. Everything was phenomenal. Going back tomorrow and telling everyone I know because I don't want to loose this gem in Modesto. read more

Wow! I just had lunch here for the first time. I ordered the chicken and beef Korean BBQ combo with a fried egg atop, to go of course. Although most restaurant food is always better served plated, once I bit into the chicken and steak, it didn't matter. It was very delicious. I'm still enjoying the BBQ smoke aftertaste. I'll definitely be back! The staff was very courteous and friendly as well. You rock Tye! read more

Meh. The Mother Earth was good. But have been here for about 1.5 hours now and still haven't seen our waiter. Appetizer for a party of 6 was small and basic- the asparagus had about 5 spears... the Brie bomb was burnt...the pretzels, burnt. Fingerling potatoes, burnt.. pork belly had great flavor... the pork tenderloin took literally almost an hour to arrive at the table. All these people spout off about how they are "small business owners" and whatnot yet their service and establishments are terrible and they can't keep the customers happy??? Start at the beginning and make sure the stuff works to begin with and then you won't have issues. If you can't do that then you have no business. Period. Also, our total time there was 3.5 hours. Wayyyyy too long. read more

Bauhaus is Tye Bauer's new joint and really well done. Cool characters and cool Drinks line the in-house bar made of reclaimed wood and the get down small plates are exactly what you'd expect from Tye. Great pickled, fermented, smoked items like salmon, house made bacon, and pastrami. Savory Pastry and an amazing selection vegan fare as well. Everyday is a new culinary adventure with seasonal fare. Lovely outdoor patio for those in the know. read more

Just ate here we ordered every vegan option on the menu and a bottle of the reserved Zin wine. The food was absolutely amazing we cleaned our plates along with our bottle of wine the service was great I want to shout out to our waiter "T" for a amazing job and for being super attentive to our service and any question we had he was able to answer. Thank you so much and I definitely would recommend this place to anyone who would love a great atmosphere and amazing food and service. read more

Delightful experience. A cozy atmosphere with rustic wood planked walls, a sliding barn door on the bathroom and a quaint outdoor patio area. We started with drinks - white sangria for myself and a specialty beer for my hubs - both were delicious. Then we ordered the roasted asparagus with parmesan, pork loin pastry and the buffalo cauliflower pastry with the hot wing sauce - WOW, what an amazing combination of flavors - my mouth was doing the happy dance! Capped off our meal with the brie, honey, walnut, raspberry pastry which was 3 words: TO DIE FOR! Thank you Tye for delivering such truly delightful dishes and it was a pleasure meeting you! read more

One of the best experiences in Modesto! Nothing short of perfection! Tony you are the BOMB!

First time here and the food is amazing. It has a gourmet flare to every item the seasoning and flavors are amazing. They are basically small plates but with lots of flavor. The chef/owner created a pizza for my 4 year old that she loved. I will definitely make this a usual stop good food, friendly staff and great owner. read more

There's so much to say about Bauhaus, it's just the sweetest little spot with the sweetest most decadent little plates ever. I LOVE their veggie options (buffalo cauliflower pastry, thank me later) and their beer list changes pretty frequently. The atmosphere is probably the coolest in Modesto, I've heard it can get pretty poppin in there so I suggest not going during a dinner rush time because when it's quiet you can really chat with the servers and whoever's cookin that night. Ty is really killin it because this place is a gem! read more
