I'm a big fan of Italian food so today I wanted to try this place I order to take out. The restaurant is well-decorated and has a gorgeous bar. I order my favorite dish Chicken Parmigiana and spaghetti with red sauce. The waiter very well dressed and professional took my order. I said to myself wow this is fancy I'm going to enjoy this. Especially when the waiter said $27.00, please. So I get my food and drive 5 minutes home still really excited to eat my meal from this fancy-looking restaurant. I set up my table everything looked delicious. The cheese still looks hot and the spaghetti also. I grab my steak knife and attempt to cut the chicken cutlet to my disappointment it was hard to cut. You know when you cut into a chicken cutlet it's supposed to feel smooth while cutting it. The chicken was hard to cut and while you cutting the chicken you got a grinding feeling on the knife, I knew I just wasted my money. I bite into the piece of chicken I struggle to cut and immediately have to spit it out, disappointed after all this work. The chicken was like biting into a piece of rubber mat, so sorry but true. At this point, I didn't even make an effort to try the spaghetti. We all know what happened here the chef didn't take pride in his work and put something out of his kitchen something that the proper chef would not eat. I'll stop there no need to stress I learned my lesson, last time there. Maybe something else would taste better but I'll never find out. But how do you mess up the most typical dish in Italian cuisine? Here is a tip Chefs try fresh ingredients and don't cook something twice it gets overcooked, culinary 101....

I am always impressed by this place, we live a walking distance away so it's not uncommon for us to have lunch or dinner here, they accommodate gluten free diet so that's a nice start. But what stands out if his friendly and inviting the staff is, you never feel like you're asking for too much with any request. Most importantly is the food is great. Recently my wife and I were looking for a place to host our son's baptism celebration and we inquired, the manager Marco was able to give us the details and break down the charges while answering all our questions so nothing would be a surprise. We did some research and compared some other restaurants but ultimately decided to book here. On the day of the event I arrived early to drop off a cake and the space was already set up nicely and ready to go, my guests were very impressed and happy with everything. The option we chose was delivered as promised and the staff went above and beyond, Oscar was in charge of our party and made sure we had everything we wanted and that we were comfortable. All we had to do was enjoy the time with our guests, our food and the ambiance. There were no surprises and we were very happy.

Great food and service as we celebrated my friends birthday. Thank you for making our get together amazing. Will definitely be back !

Fried Calamari and Cold Antipasto Franceschino
Sabrina M.

Went to mamma Francesca last week to taste some food to possibly book an engagement party with them in the future. The service was great and the waiters were very attentive constantly filling wine and water glasses and asking if we needed anything. Food was mediocre. We ordered fried calamari which was all breadcrumb no calamari. We got the cold antipasto which was lack luster. We ordered penne vodka which tasted pretty standard. Entrees on the other hand were delicious. I ordered the filet of sole piccata which was flavorful and delicious. I wouldn't say that the entree was delicious enough for me to return though. If you want some Italian food and are in the area stop by but nothing to rant and rave about.

However, things all of a sudden halted for me the 2nd the bartender told my date they had to order something despite me ordering a $15 cocktail. My immediate thought was to say, "Okay, we'll be on our way then." I didn't like that my date was pressured into ordering something. THEN she hits us with "cash only." Ugh. The cocktails. She was majorly pushing these concoctions she'd made up and said every single cocktail was $15, so we might as well go with the boozier one (as opposed to what we wanted which was something simple like gin & tonic), so we relented. They were OK. Would never order again, though. Other than the desperation and pushiness of the bartender, the ambiance was great! Fun clientele and gothy decor. If she had just eased up, I would honestly have this place be my go-to bar in town as opposed to never wanting to go again. Shame.

You can tell real care goes into the menu, which offers a wide variety of options--there's truly something for everyone.

Disappointed by the experience -- not what we've come to expect from The Modern…read more The four of us have been to The Modern many times and usually enjoy sitting at the bar for a more relaxed experience. Last night, however, was deeply disappointing. From the start, there was pressure to place food orders quickly, even though we were just settling in. We did order appetizers and later entrees--not an unreasonable timeline--but it felt like we were being hurried for no reason. The real issue came when we ordered a gluten-free pizza with toppings. What was delivered was essentially a round piece of bread with toppings -- not remotely what we expected. We tried several times to flag down the bartender, who proved extremely difficult to get the attention of. When we finally spoke to him and explained the error, the pizza was taken back, but then... nothing. We waited. And waited. More than 30 minutes passed while the rest of us finished our meals -- and still no replacement pizza. When we brought it up again, the bartender's attitude was indifferent at best. Frustrated, I went to the hostess stand and explained the situation. To their credit, the response was immediate: a manager stepped in, apologized, offered a round of drinks on the house, and ensured the corrected dish came out quickly. That level of service--from the manager and hostess--was appreciated and helped salvage the evening, but the overall experience was the worst we've ever had at The Modern. We may go back, but it will be with hesitation. The service at the bar needs serious attention. A restaurant of this caliber should never let service--or guest experience--slip this far.
