We wanted a lite dinner. We were so happy to find this gem. The food is fresh, delicious and flavorful. The service was so genuine and sincere. We were visited at the table just often enough. We can't wait to dine here again but next time we will come ready for a full dining feast. We loved the warm decor and the music was perfect. We ordered the cheese and charcuterie appetizer. It had 3 types of cheese, two types of cured meat, olive's, jam, Marcona almonds, pickles, roasted garlic and more. Accompanied with delicious toasted bread. We also had the shrimp scampi that was in a wonderful sauce with lovely shrimp basking in my dish. The side dish of a parm and greiere cheese bread was devine. We had to try the apple crumble with vanilla ice cream.... And we loved it. Even the coffee tasted special. Yummy yummy Fabulous dining experience and evening! Thank you Modern Corner Grill. Aldi was a wonderful server and true gentleman read more

Ambiance is okay. Service was great - if anything, maybe a few too many check-in stops at the table. It was hard to keep a flow of conversation going. Where things really took a turn was the food. I was so hoping I found a new staple in our walkable restaurants list but the food was mostly disappointing. We liked our fairly standard French onion soup and Caesar salad. The shrimp cocktail were not good at all. Shrimp was tough and mealy. They marinate them with a bunch of herbs. Maybe that caused the unpleasant texture? On top of that, I did not like the herbs used in the marinade. Good shrimp cocktail stands on its own! I should also add that these were $7/each. A week later I had the most amazing shrimp cocktail - tender and sweet and almost double the size for $4/each. I don't mind paying $7. I've paid $13 each for good shrimp cocktail. Just a lot of money to spend on something so disappointing. Our sea bass was also tough. Flavor was okay. The piece was fairly thin - possibly why it was overcooked? For those who love sea bass, I suggest checking it out at SumoMaya or Dominick's. Can't be beat! Sadly, I don't think we'll be back. Too many other excellent options nearby. read more

Alec and Liam were bartending-- wow what service! We had a Chinese chicken salad-- perfectly done We were taking lame selfies, and Ramone came over to give us light to enhance our beauty. Really a great experience we are going to come back many times. We will come back for happy hour and have a burger, fish and chips, and more experiences --definitely a place to come!!! read more

Absolutely adore this place! We decided to try their renowned happy hour, and it was an absolute delight. The menu and drink list for the happy hour are simply amazing. Modern has truly risen to become the new Dominic's, with its rustic wooden interior reminiscent of an old mafia movie. The warm ambiance invites you to indulge in a steak dinner or savor a glass of wine. Our waiter, with his warm smile and Aussie accent, made the experience even more enjoyable. He expertly explained the dishes being served and couldn't resist cracking a smile between dinner services. The happy hour menu boasts an incredible selection of crab cakes, muscles, or a simple Caesar salad. But let's not forget their signature martinis, which are simply fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here and will definitely be returning. read more

What a place! Celebrating a friend's birthday at Modern Oysterbar Chophouse which quickly became a new favorite spot. The atmosphere is fantastic with great charm. The food is completely prepared in-house has that depth flavor that excites your palate! My taste buds were appreciating every bite! Please see the photos of the delicious fair we grazed upon. Our service was truly worthy of 5stars! We voted to come back soon. read more

Today was a day from hell. But ordering door dash from Modern Corner Grill helped end the day on a positive note. We had ribs, fish & chips , modern chopped salad , mashed potatoes & creamed corn. Plus key lime pie. Everything was extraordinary. Don't hesitate. read more

My husband and I had some time to kill in the area and felt like oysters. We decided to check out Modern Oysterbar Chophouse. The sign outside now says Modern Corner Grill, I got worried for a second thinking maybe they didn't have oysters anymore...glad I was wrong! Just a name change I guess??? We sat at the bar for oysters, cheese board, and a bottle of wine! Loved their wine glasses. Also loved the bread they served with the cheese board. It was so good we ordered more. The bartender was friendly, service was great. We didn't realize the restaurant is so big inside or that its family owned. We will be back for sure! read more

Stopped in here Thursday night after work and had an excellent experience at the bar. Right away we were greeting by Alec (and another bartender that didn't give his name). We shared wonderful food including the oysters, mussels, crab cakes and salted caramel crème brûlée. All of which were wonderful. I think I would've liked the crab cakes without so much corn- but that's a small detail. The beer selection was only by bottle/can- but they had good beer that we enjoyed. The espresso martini was also lovely after dinner. The restrooms were clean and stocked. I enjoyed very much the hospitality from the bar, food and ambiance. We will be regulars here! read more

Friday night visit during Arizona Restaurant Week. We had reservations and were seated right away. The service was really good. I liked the decor and design of the restaurant. The food was pretty good as well. The chicken noodle soup's noodles were thicker than I like but overall the soup wasn't bad. The house style mussels and house burger were our entrees. I would recommend both dishes. I'd return to this restaurant to try other things on the menu. read more

Modern Oysterbar Chophouse Tried this restaurant for Valentine's Day, said all they had on Open Table was in the bar @ 5:15 pm, didn't expect to sit on the bar, little disappointed that we at least didn't have a table in the bar. Service at the bar was fantastic, but was not wanting to sit at the bar on Valentine's Day Dinner. Lobster and Corn Chowder roasted corn, yukon potatoes, cream, mire-poix, bacon and herbs was good with a big chunk of lobster. Would probably order again. Prime Bone in Ribeye 18 oz was a good size thinner cut. Meat, a little on the tougher side plus a baked potato, for $80 was expecting a better cut to be quite honest. Center Cut Fillet 8oz was probably a better cut than the ribeye, smaller but pretty tasty, also came with a baked potato. Brussel Spouts, personally I am not a Brussel Spouts person but was prepared well, my wife is a big Brussel Spouts person and she enjoyed it Asparagus was generous and prepared well, i prefer not to have soggy asparagus and this was done well. So much competition with Chophouses all over, I hope this establishment makes it. I am not the biggest oyster person so I could not give a good rating read more

Yelp SPAM rating Service - 5/10 Price - 4/10 Ambiance- 6/10 Meal - 5/10 Arrived early for our reservation, but the staff was very accommodating and seated us right away. A little too cold in the restaurant for us and wished we would have brought a jacket to wear. Maybe in the dead of summer it would have been nice, but in February nah. Service was great in the beginning, but then slacked off later in the evening. Slow to get drinks, water refills, dessert and the bill, but that was more than likely due to more diners arriving. Steak was overcooked and over priced for what you got. Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly, but were way too sweet for us and lost their charred exterior due to the sauce they were served with. Au gratin potatoes were cooked perfectly and had a good serving of cheese on top, just wish the cheese was mixed in more with the potatoes. We split a chopped salad and raved about the dressing it was served with. The peanut butter / fudge pie was absolutely delicious and ended the night on a high note. Glad we had an opportunity to try this restaurant, but doubt we'll be back in the future because I didn't feel as if the price was worth the experience. read more

Great hospitality, food, and drinks. We had a great time with friends, will be back. It has a great vibe, very comfortable. Lots of great menu options. read more

The food, the service, and the ambiance are all deserving of a 5 star review. The oysters were the best I have ordered in Arizona, the espresso martini was well crafted, and their crab cakes were more crab than "cake." Their food was so appetizing when it hit the table- that this millennial entirely forgot to take the picture for the review. It has been awhile since I was this impressed by the quality, and I know I will be back to Modern Oyster soon. Our server tonight was Aldi, and you will be fortunate if you are in his section. He was humorous as well as attentive, and added to the our great dining experience! read more

Our local favorite over the past year. Staff is always so friendly fly and welcoming, they have some amazing can't miss entrees they call their own (like the maple Chicken & ribs!). We typically sit and dine in the bar area. Beautiful bourbon list and refreshing to see nice wine served in quality wine glasses- it's the little touches that make a restaurant stand out in this town. read more

Food, service, and environment (very well done, clean, and excellent sound dynamics, they muffled it but didn't make it sound dead, either, love it). Fresh food perfectly prepared. I was really impressed, and glad it's now in the area. Burger, fried chicken, salad, oyster were all awesome, and staff is great and owners are in the restaurant working front and back of house, not just strolling, but working! Definitely shows in their team & experience in a very good way. read more

Another fantastic meal! This time we started with the best fresh PEI oysters I have ever had - EVER!! And Elyssa, our waitress, absolutely made our evening. Our visiting family thought she was a combination high end waitress and impeccable floor act. Thank you, again, MCG for a memorable & wonderful meal and evening! read more

I stopped in for happy hour and was hoping for a social vibe and appetizer tour but stopped at a half dozen raw oysters. They oysters were great and I loved the accompanying sauces and horseradish. That said, I wasn't particularly excited by the rest of the menu or other happy hour options. The general price points are quite high, and the happy hour options felt limited. The bar atmosphere was quiet, mostly a quiet setting with a few older couples enjoying their conversations. That said, the service was lovely, and I can see this being a nice spot for a special or romantic night out. Unfortunately not a place I'd frequent regularly but I can see some loving it. read more

I honestly couldn't wait to get home to share how wonderful my experience was tonight at Modern Corner Grill in Scottsdale (just north of Bell on Scottsdale Rd). Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was exceptional. Carter, my server, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, and the owner even stopped by my table to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. (FYI, it was!) I suggest everyone reading this review to go experience this restaurant for yourself. I'm confident you won't be disappointed. read more

I came here with a friend, mostly just to enjoy oysters and they did not disappoint! I ordered a dozen, all different because they had so much variety and you could really taste the difference in each one, I loved them. I also ordered a lobster Mac n cheese and crab cakes. The crab cakes had a few bones in it and honestly didn't taste that great. The lobster Mac n cheese was kind of disappointing too. Most of the lobster was over cooked and it wasn't enough seasoning. I would come back though because of the ambiance and service and probably just oysters next time. read more

Came here at 4 pm for a girls night to celebrate my friends 60th! Wow the happy hour is absolutely incredible! I had an espresso martini and the blueberry lemon drop martini..both were delicious and generous servings for only $10! For food, I ordered the chicken fried rice and a Caesar salad. Amazing prices, generous portions and it was all delicious! Plus I took some home with me! The service was excellent as well! Wish I lived closer so I could stop in weekly! read more

I failed to post my review last week, better late than never! I came with family for restaurant week. My group was pretty demanding (I'm sorry!) but Steve, our server, absolutely rose to the occasion! I was so impressed with his wit and professionalism. Other staff also treated us very well! The food was AMAZING. We are literally still talking about it a week later. We can't wait to come back! There are so many things on the regular menu I am dying to experience. Hopefully Steve is working as well! read more

I live nearby and it was nice to go at least once it looks like all they really did was change the name of the restaurant from "oyster" to modern grill. The prices are ridiculous and not that of a typical grill. 7 dollars per one piece of small shrimp. No no wonder every single patron that was there surrounded the bar for the happy hour prices anything other than the happy hour prices aren't worth it. read more

My family decided to visit this establishment on Christmas Eve. We sat for about 10-15 minutes waiting for a server to welcome us and ask for a drink order. One never came until my husband went to the hostess stand to find out who our server was for our table. The food was mediocre at best..We ordered the shrimp cocktail and oysters Rockefeller. The shrimp were $7 a piece-yes, you have to pay per shrimp. It was not worth it all-nothing special about it. We then ordered steak frites and mussels for dinner. The steak was a poor cut, and the mussels were bland in a soup of butter. We ordered 2 Old Fashions-no depth of flavor. Our bill was extremely high for the quality of the food. We will not be back. read more

Delicious seafood in a lovely environment. Cocktails have a great variety and are delicious! It's pricey but worth the splurge for a special occasion. Our waitress was amazing and added a lot of fun to our family meal. Service was outstanding! Definitely worth a try! read more

We had a FABULOUS Thanksgiving dinner here! The traditional choices were available' The service was very good as well!

Food was great! Came here for AZ Restaurant and was very impressed. We started with the corn chowder and the texture was perfection, delicious with a touch of bacon. My friend had the lobster Louie Salad and it had a lot of lobster on it with a nice, light vinaigrette dressing. I had the fish and chips and it was the best one I've had in a long time! It had Chilean sea bass, the batter was not heavy yet crunchy! The fries were homemade and nicely browned. The desserts were good, loved the key lime pie! Service was excellent and totally impressive, from the moment we arrived and our server was very friendly and attentive. The place is nicely decorated with comfortable and cozy booths. This is a definite must try! Plenty of ample parking! read more

Stopped in for lunch, and overall, it was just average. The oysters were good, but the French onion soup, sandwich, and salad were just okay--nothing special. The place was surprisingly empty, which made for a quiet meal. Service was fine, but nothing stood out. Not bad, but not necessarily a place I'd rush back to. read more

My boyfriend and I went for date night on a Saturday. He originally made reservations for the dining room and when we go there decided to sit at the bar. Bartenders greeted us right away and provided us menus and water. We were able to take advantage of the last 10 minutes of happy hour. Certain wines are $15/half crafe-enough for 2 glasses. We started with blue oysters which were good. Our entrees were salmon with polenta and shrimp pasta with lemon pepper sauce. The salmon was flaky and moist. The shrimp on the pasta were large. (Would recommend both) For desert we split the caramel martini and strawberry crème brûlée. Mari I was fabulous. The crème brûlée has a strawberry jelly in the bottom we didn't care for. This is a place I will be coming back to again. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try Modern Corner Grill for the first time since it's so close to where we live, and we're so happy we did! When we got there, we were actually surprised to be the only ones at the bar, but the bartender was so friendly and kind! We started with the oysters and the chopped salad--honestly, one of the best chopped salads we've ever had. So fresh and flavorful with the sweet nuts! lol Then we shared the Bolognese and the fried chicken, and wow... both were amazing! What really made the experience even better was meeting the owner. She came over, introduced herself, and was so kind! We had no idea it was a family-owned restaurant, which we love! We'll definitely be back for the salad! *** such a great spot! read more

The only place I've been that serves sea bass as part of their Fish & Chips...above and beyond, imo!
