Went here for dinner after church on Sunday and it was very nice. The ambiance and decor were amazing. The outdoor seating was nice as well but the sun was too unforgiving to sit outside. I ordered chipotle calamari for appetizer and hubby ordered clams. Both were good. For entree we ordered the pappardelle with lobster in saffron sauce and the zuppa Di Mare. Both were delicious. I really enjoyed everything from the seating to the service. read more

Great restaurant in westchester. Spent a day with family hiking and visiting parks and wanted a nice meal to end the day. modern on the rails hit the spot. Beautiful restaurant right next to train station. Parking is free which is great. Building was beautiful inside - upscale and elegant but not stuffy or pretentious. We had on jeans and tshirts (and even shorts) and did not feel out of place. Service was prompt and attentive. The highlight though was the food - it was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. Highlights were polenta over artichokes, mussels in marinara sauce, cacio Pepe pasta special, lamb chops. Dinner finished on a high note as we ordered Italian donuts- zepoli - that desert was enough to feed table of 6 and had half left over. Beautiful hot sweet donut dough with Nutella and raspberry dipping sauce - sweet paired well with cappuccino and was a great way to finish the meal. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite before catching a train into NYC for a New York Rangers game, and this spot delivered exactly what we needed. We arrived around 5:00pm ahead of the rush and were seated right away. Parking is easy with the adjacent lot shared with the train station, which makes this a convenient pre-commute option. The space is bright, airy, and modern, with a lively but comfortable energy. We were seated in the main dining room, and once the staff realized we were on a tight schedule, they were locked in, attentive, efficient, and mindful of timing without making us feel rushed. We started with the chipotle calamari, crispy with a smoky kick and balanced by a hint of lemon and sweetness from the balsamic glaze. I went with the Rails Burger, an 8 oz Wagyu blend topped with caramelized onions, mushrooms, bacon, and melted Monterey Jack, paired with sweet potato fries. A solid, satisfying choice done right. A versatile spot that works just as well for a casual bite as it does for a more elevated night out. Definitely one we come back to. read more

Modern on the Rails is a solid dinner spot. It's a great location and the ambiance/decor is a total vibe. It's definitely got an upscale feel, while also not being stuffy or fancy. You could easily go here for dinner in jeans and not feel out of place, but also if you wanted to dress up for a date night or special occasion, it would also be appropriate. The space is also really nice and is a good option if you were having a larger group or wanted to do a celebratory meal. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is solid and the price is reasonable for what you are getting. They brought over bread to start and the bread was nice and warm. We started with the burrata app which weirdly came with 3 pieces of medium bread (same as the basket, but toasted or grilled). It felt like it should have been smaller crostini type bread and also more pieces given the app, but it didn't matter because we had the warm bread basket. The app itself was nice, but not overly special. For dinner we had the burger and the squid ink pasta with salmon. The burger was good, but the sweet potato fries needed any kind of seasoning, even salt. The pasta was the best dish of the night. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the sauce was delicious and the pasta was great. Overall, I would definitely come back here again. It's a nice spot with reasonable prices, great ambiance and service, and the food is solid. read more

the ambiance was great but the service was slow. The restaurant was practically empty when we got there towards the end is when it got busy. My main entrée which was the lobster and steak was honestly very mid and I expected more for a restaurant that's priced at the way they are. The drink and the appetizer is the best thing. read more

What a great experience! Really nice decor and ambiance in the room. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our waiter made several recommendations, which were great. The manager came by halfway through the meal to check on us, I always appreciate that. I had the mozzarella sticks to start and my wife had the Caesar salad. I know mozzarella sticks are simple, but when they are done correctly you notice the difference. These were perfect. For our mains I had the Lobster ravioli and my wife had the roasted chicken. Both were great. The sauce with the chicken was especially tasty. For dessert I had the Italian donuts (zeppolis) and my wife had the chocolate chip cookie. Delicious!! The price was very reasonable. If we're in the area again we will definitely be back! Highly recommend this place! read more

Always a pleasurable dining experience. The atmosphere is unique. An old railway station with exposed brick walls. A beautiful chandelier in the main dining room. The wait staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Happy to respond to your questions about the extensive menu. Speaking of the menu there are plenty of delicious options not including the frequent daily specials. Cocktails galore for the asking. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Modern in the Rails is off the rails. Everything was designed to please. The room is beautiful with a working fireplace in winter. The bar is large and comfortable. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive and made excellent recommendations. The specialty cocktails (pear margarita & watermelon margarita) were fresh and bright. The menu has so many great options; the burrata crostini with fig jam, arugula and bacon was out if this world. The Rails pizza was delicious. The salmon and its sauce were perfectly made. The pork cop was outstanding. Locals are lucky to have this marvelous place nearby. We'll definitely be making the trip up from NYC again to try the rest of the menu!! read more

On Saturday there was a one year birthday party with 80 people in attendance . It was brunch buffet style. The wait staff was very attentive filling water glasses and refilling drinks. Clearing away dishes almost immediately. First I served myself 1 English muffin eggs Benedict, scrambled eggs, sausage link, French toast. I skipped the potatos. Then I went back for chicken martini, baked ziti and eggplant parm. The food was tasty, hot and plentiful. Modern on the Rails knows how to take care a ton of people. Great job folks.

Such a great place! I've been to their other location and was excited to try out this one. I tried the empanadas, salad, bread, chicken parm, fish, and zucchini. Everything I tried was fresh and flavorful. I would definitely come back here again. This spot has a cozy atmosphere. We sat next to the fire. Our server was friendly and attentive too. I would come back to try more of their food options. Such a great dinner spot! read more

This place is like Goldilocks. I ordered the Lamb T-bone. First it came out overcooked. Then it came out RAW and not cooked at all. The third time, it came out just right. It took 40 minutes to bring me overcooked lamb, 10 minutes to bring me a raw lamb, and another 7minutes to properly cook it. They also failed to rest the meat. The service was good and so are the espresso martinis (no Baileys). The owner came out and apologized for the lamb and took our drinks off the bill which was very nice. The ambiance here is very nice. Most people will like this place. read more

I wanted to love this place. As soon as we walked in it was really pretty inside, so I thought we had just found a gem of a place. Unfortunately the service was horrible and the food wasn't great at all. We couldn't even eat our appetizer. Our server never asked how or app was or our dinner. The gentleman that cleared our dishes was the only one that asked us how everything was. Although when we said NOT good, he said "thank you, I'm so glad to hear that". We then repeated ourselves and got the same response. LOL This was unfortunately not the experience we had hoped for, especially since it was our anniversary and a night away from our kids. read more

Celebrated my mom's birthday at Modern on the Rails. The calamari and garlic bread were fantastic! I enjoyed the truffle chicken. The desserts are pretty small, but good. My aunt and grandmother enjoyed the burger, but said the sweet potato fries were a bit bland. Service was great. The staff was very attentive and came over often to make sure everything was okay. read more

Went here for the first time and was very impressed. The ambience is great. It's the old train station in Mamaroneck and it's a great space. The bar is so inviting and the whole scene is nice. It is loud but everything else is great so it doesn't matter. Food was delicious too. Even the bread was scrumptious lol!! It seems fancy but you make it what you want it to be that night. Prices were reasonable considering. Definitely going back!! read more

Great ambiance. Super friendly and attentive staff. Bartender was amazing, super delicious dirty martini!! Apps & food were on point. I order the linguine & white clam sauce and I had more clams than pasta which was great with me. They have mussels on the app menu I don't care for them in red sauce and the chef was very accommodating and made mine with garlic and white wine sauce. Calamari super crispy. Overall I give it 5 stars because that's what you get. I will definitely be back again and again. read more

This was a spot chosen for us by my sister-in-law. Went here for a baptism after party just for of us. They had a entire restaurant booked up for a brunch party so we had to sit outside. It's full/winter so it's a little cold, but they had the outside heaters and closed off area. Service overall was provided very well, the food was pretty good overall, and the ambience aside from the things I spoke about was decent. Inside and outside were very clean as well as the bathrooms. Parking was street parking outside of a train station, but not ridiculous. You could definitely find a spot but you have to pay. read more

Decided to make a holiday lunch reservation at this restaurant today with a friend. I love seafood, so I asked our waiter about the linguine with clams. I asked if the clams were fresh, as the menu said they were freshly shucked. He told me that the clams were from a can with only one open fresh clam on the plate. I was shocked, so of course I did not order that dish. How can a restaurant with high prices serve clams from a can! I also asked about the baked clams if they came with a sauce and he said they did, so I ordered them and asked not to have sauce put on them. They came to the table baked in paprika! The baked clams were fire red with paprika consuming the clams. I have never in my life saw anything like it. Maybe they were trying to put a new take on them, but it did not work. I should have sent them back, but ate them anyway and they were awful. I had the shrimp scampi with risotto which was very good. My friend ordered fagioli soup and pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe which he enjoyed. I had eaten here before and was very nice and no problem, but got turned off about serving clams from a can. We did that in the 60's at home, not in a restaurant! Won't be coming back. read more

i had a piece of long black hair cooked in my Red Snapper special Friday night. I pulled it from my mouth. The manager's response was tell me that none of the cooks had hair like that and comped a beer (which I disn't ask him to do). Disgusting read more

I will never return to this restaurant -- not because of the food, but because of the completely unprofessional and downright humiliating behavior of the management. My husband hosted a birthday dinner for me here with a small group of six -- an occasion that should have been joyful and celebratory. Instead, it was completely overshadowed by a deeply embarrassing and totally uncalled-for confrontation from the restaurant manager. After we had finished our meal (which was decent but not extraordinary), the manager took it upon herself to publicly "correct" my husband for only tipping 10% -- which was both inaccurate and totally inappropriate. In fact, he had already tipped 20%, and she either didn't bother to check properly or simply jumped to conclusions. Either way, to single someone out in front of guests like that is appalling. And here's the kicker: no apology. Not for the mistake. Not for the embarrassment. Not for souring a night that had been planned with care and love. Just a cold, entitled attitude that made it clear we were not welcome -- or respected -- as customers. If this restaurant values public shaming over polite customer service, then it's no wonder the place wasn't even half full on a Saturday night. There are plenty of restaurants in this city with better food, better energy, and -- most importantly -- better manners. Save your money and your dignity. Go somewhere that understands hospitality doesn't end when the check is signed. read more

Just came back from a dinner at this disrespectful restaurant. While the food was fine, the little waiter ordered us to finish our dinner so he could turn the table over. And this after giving him a 30 percent tip!! I would not give this restaurant any rating at all in 2025. And do not recommend it to anyone, since they only care about turning the tables over. The customer should come first. read more

The space is amazing and we do enjoy eating at this restaurant. We were a party of four and were seated at the corner of the bar which was perfect for us. We ordered 2 appetizers (baked clams and the chicken meatball special) and both were tasty. For dinner we ordered the soft shell crab special, eggplant parm, martini chicken and chicken with truffle cream sauce. We got salads as our side dish and they were typical side salads made with what I think was iceberg or romaine lettuce, a few olives, tomatoes, slices of onion and cucumbers. Dressing was tasty. I probably should have ordered pasta on the side instead of the salad. I had the eggplant parm so I can only comment on that dish. The eggplant was thinly sliced (which I love) however I had a large tomato sauce bomb on my plate. Too much sauce for my liking. Sauce is tasty, just too much. Of course this is my opinion and people may like that kind of preparation. Overall a good experience and we will go back. read more

An excellent dinner with friends. The space was the station for the train back in the day. The renovation is great-high ceilings, elegant and a lot of attention to detail. Our reservation was for an early dinner, but our friends were 30 minutes late due to traffic-no issues. The wine list had a lot of bottles were familiar with. Service was excellent from start to finish. My entree was Truffle Chicken which was an excellent dish and was large. The Shrimp Scampi was very good and the other person ordered Bronzini which looked great. read more

A beautifully converted rail station house, this restaurant is beautiful to look at and maintained and decorated very nicely. Our server is not a stranger to us, she's a regular employee there which says a lot about the owners and how they run things right? Their staff stays and they are good at their jobs. She's waited on us quite a few times going back a few years. The Cosmo was perfectly made and the dinner was delicious, truffle chicken and I finished with a warm apple Bundt cake ala mode and it was all delish! read more

Brunch goers beware. My cousins and I had brunch at modern on the rails on Sunday. To make a long story short we didn't realize when we got our bill that they added 20% tip to our bill. Yes you heard it 20% gratuity on the bill not knowing this we gave them an 18% tip. As soon as we got into the car, we realize something was wrong with the check so I called right away and was told that the manager would call me back. Of course she did not. We called the next day and again didn't hear back. When I called back on Sunday, the woman who picked up the phone said "oh your server should've told you that the tip was included". Seriously!!! We gave him over $100 tip for pouring mimosas! I'm so upset about this whole situation. Obviously, I will not be going there for brunch, ever!!! read more

My best friend and I rarely get to see each other and we were so happy to get together for dinner to celebrate my birthday. We made a 5pm reservation and we're seated righ away by a lovely young lady that told us to relax and enjoy our dinner. We each ordered a cocktail then we ordered appetizers, the waiter wasn't particularly friendly or quick but we didn't care. After we finished our appetizers we ordered our entree she a steak me the fish special to make a long story short we we're still eating and the waiter came over and began to clean our half eaten dinners and told us that he needed the table in five minutes. We were in shock I asked to speak with the owner he wasn't there so they his son very ineffective at that point he could have invited us to the bar for dessert and a complimentary drink nothing. The food was delicious but our fun night was ruin and we and all our friends we passed the story on to won't ever grace the doorway of Modern on the Rails again read more
