    Beef Bulgogi on flame-grilled plate, Sticky Asian Ribs, Korean Vodka Pasta,  Pork Belly Bao, Ribboned Eggplant Tempura, Korean Vodka Pasta
    Gareth Q.

    Late post from Labor Day weekend, when we stopped in for a late dinner during our food-crawl staycation after a week in San Diego. My daughter had been craving this place for months, and it was worth the visit. The Beef Bulgogi was the top dish of the night -- amazing, flavorful, and served sizzling on a flame-grilled hot plate with onions, fried garlic, sesame seeds, and scallion pancakes. It is the kind of shareable dish that easily becomes the center of the table. The Pork Belly Bao was deliciously satisfying, with tender braised pork belly, chili mayo, and pickled cucumber. The Sticky Asian Ribs were garlicky good, lived up to their name, and definitely better enjoyed with your fingers--no complaints there LOL. The Korean Vodka Pasta was another highlight, with a nice gochujang kick that my daughter and I enjoyed. The Ribboned Eggplant Tempura was crispy, creamy, and fun to eat, even if the sweet soy glaze was a little sweeter than I prefer. The Salmon Press Roll was good, though I may have preferred a tuna or yellowtail version. Dessert was the miss for us: the Chocolate Mousse Pani Puri was creative, but not chocolatey or sweet enough for our group. Beyond the food, the ambiance is a big part of why my girls enjoy coming here. The décor is stylish and pleasing, creating a fun setting for sharing dishes and lingering over dinner. Service was great as well, and it was especially fun to have Brantley again.

    I had a wonderful experience with my friends at The Moderne. The interior is beautiful and there is a nice couch waiting area. My favorites were the Salmon Sunshine and Korean Vodka Pasta. The Salmon Sunshine was very refreshing with salmon and mandarin. The Korean Vodka Pasta was extremely flavorful and had a nice spicy kick. I ordered the Woman in White drink, which had a beautiful presentation of a fog bubble on top of the drink. There were notes of lychee; however, the drink is quite strong.

    Vibes = 100%, intimate for a perfect date night spot, girls night out, guests in town...etc. shows off the creative Orlando scene perfectly. Sat down at the bar on Friday night walk in around 7:30PM. Service was kind, not rushed, welcoming and helpful. The bartender was a pleasure to talk to with obvious pride in his work. Small bites were perfect to keep ordering and were all so delicious. We will be returning to try and hit happy hour as you can easily rack up a bill

    The Moderne was such a great experience from start to finish. I loved the atmosphere, and the fact that it becomes 21+ after 9 p.m. gives it a more elevated, relaxed vibe that's perfect for date night or an evening out with friends. The food was excellent across the board. We ordered the vodka pasta, creamy mushroom pasta, ribs, duck, broccolini, fried rice, and a variety of other dishes, and everything was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The only item that missed the mark slightly for me was the duck, which was a little on the salty side, but everything else was outstanding. The cocktails were perfectly crafted, and the bartender was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Between the ambiance, great food, and exceptional drinks, The Moderne is definitely a spot I'll be returning to.

    Moderne has become in a fav in my restaurant rotation. The service here is amazing. I love the banter of the staff. The playlist is amazing! They play great rnb and top 40. The food is so divine ugh. Monday nights they have all day happy hour as well! Love you moderne family

    Came here on a Friday hoping to catch happy hour, only to find out it's now limited to Monday through Thursday... so just a heads up for anyone planning! Even though they were fully booked, the staff was kind enough to accommodate our group by seating us outside, which we really appreciated. The food was absolutely gorgeous and just as delicious... everything we tried was beautifully presented and full of flavor. I'd highly recommend the duck. My nephew loveddd it! Definitely a spot I'd come back to. The only downside was the automatic 20% gratuity added for our table of five, especially since one of us was a kid. It felt a bit steep, but overall, still a great experience.

    This is a tapas place so most of the plates are small. The price point is off for me for the portion size. The lamb was good but you only get 2 bites the roasted duck was good and you get plenty to share. The fiid comes out when it is ready.

    Updating my review to say this place is better and better with each visit! Highly recommend you make a reservation but we got lucky with a party of two recently. It was my friend's first time here and she LOVED it too! Our server was incredible and the drinks are always so fun! This time around, the seasonal drink menu items were named after the bartender's pets. Once you scan the QR code, you can see the menu items and they had these fun images of the drinks with the pets their named after. This place is a fun vibe. We ordered the broccolini, duck wontons and the korean fried chicken. All were very good! We even had two orders of the broccolini! The Korean fried chicken is always good. I order it almost every time I go to eat there. One of their mainstay cocktails is the Woman in White. Great presentation and so good! Can't wait to go back!

    I love the Moderne! The vibes, the service, the food are all incredible. A perfect date spot or nice night out with the girls, the Moderne doesn't miss. When I went with a friend, our server was so kind and gave us recommendations that were spot on. The only critique I have was that the miso cream noodle was a tad salty, but otherwise, each dish was packed with flavor that complimented each other. Definitely one of my top places in the Mills area.

    Three Dots and a Dash
    Will G.

    The Moderne really surprised me. After some other plans fell through for the evening, we found ourselves here on a Monday evening and it was unexpectedly lively. Monday is all night happy hour, which was a welcome surprise and even included some dishes that we were considering regardless. The Three Dots and a Dash was a very fresh take on a tiki drink and not too sweet at all. For $8 arguably the best value cocktail currently in Orlando. For food, we tried several pasta dishes including the miso cream noodle and the green curry pappardelle. I plan to return for the pappardelle alone as it was one of the more memorable and unique dishes I've had in a while. Our waiter also recommended the Korean fried chicken, which I will say rivals the beloved Domu wings. I would skip the ranch though as it was simply not needed. The restaurant itself is beautiful with a very intimate atmosphere, perfect for the impromptu date night we had. Location is awesome on Colonial. We did walk there so didn't have to find parking but there is a large lot behind and overflow across the street. On the service, our waiter seemed to simply have too many tables and subsequently service was a little slow. This didn't ruin the evening at all for us but worth mentioning. Overall, The Moderne was a solid experience with really unique dishes in a lovely atmosphere. It didn't feel like the typical fusion restaurant and its nice to have a higher end restaurant in this area.

    I recently spent an evening at The Moderne and grabbed a seat at the bar. The ambiance immediately sets the tone. The lighting is warm and moody, the décor feels modern and thoughtfully curated, and the whole space has that upscale-but-still-relaxed energy that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. It's the kind of atmosphere that works just as well for a casual night out as it does for a celebratory dinner. Now for the food. A few dishes really stood out: * Miso cream noodles - easily my favorite of the night. Rich, savory, and incredibly satisfying. * Asian sticky ribs - flavorful, and perfectly glazed. Definitely worth ordering. Some of the other items we tried were good but didn't quite stand out as much as those two. That said, the cocktails were fantastic and I would absolutely come back just to explore more of their drink menu. But the real highlight of the evening? The bartenders and staff. They were genuinely welcoming, full of great recommendations, and brought such positive energy to the experience. Sitting at the bar felt less like waiting for food and more like being part of the evening's vibe. Great service can elevate an entire meal, and that definitely happened here. Between the beautiful atmosphere, strong cocktails, and standout hospitality, this is a place I'd happily return to. Next time I'll be back at the bar with a drink in hand, another order of those miso cream noodles, and a mission to explore more of the menu.

    Absolutely loved this place. My bestie and I made a reservation for Saturday night at around 7. There was no wait but when we left, there was a long line outside to get in. I see why people love this place. Super cute inside, the food and drinks were awesome and our server was amazing. He recommended drinks and took good care of us. I would visit again. I hope it's soon !!

    I went here on a weekday after work to celebrate a friend's birthday. My first mistake was not making a reservation, fortunately, we were able to seat at the bar and that worked well for us. We started off with some drinks and most of us order the sake sangria, it was delicious and refreshing. We also ordered food including the croquettes, bao, sushi rolls, quesadilla and the seafood pappardelle. The food was great and perfect portions. The restaurant has beautiful decor and style but at the same time it felt pretty chill. I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance.

Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list. Go after 9 or 10 PM and plan to stay for at least two hours. That's when you really see the scene develop and come alive. Bring your ID: they card at the door. Even at my age, I still get carded.

We looked over the happy hour menu (good all day on Monday nights and Tuesday through Friday 5-7pm). We ask Mel about the "Bartender's Choice" selection under happy hour drinks. She said the bartender will mix a drink of their preference. The customer cannot choose the alcohol or any mixers as the bartender makes the decisions all by him or herself. Mel asked if we had any allergies or any other issues that might affect the drinks the bartender would like to make. We said we did not and we decided to take on this "choice" experience. Serena was the bartender of the evening and she did an amazing job. She mixed up various concoctions for us throughout the night (we ordered a second round after the first one) and we enjoyed every drink she prepared. The presentation of the drinks were also well done. Serena's cocktails consisted of bourbon, rum, and various ingredients which could include bitters, lemon, agave or other cocktail mixers. She was the bartender extraordinaire of the evening. For food, we ordered the half dozen chicken wings (2 orders since they were so good) and the pizza empanadas to start. The two empanadas had mozzarella cheese stuffed inside and were served with a warm marinara. From the main menu, we ordered the Faroe Island Salmon, which was served on a bad of risotto and tomato butter, with capers. The portion of the salmon was somewhat small for the price of $28, but it and the risotto were cooked perfectly. We ended the night with their signature drink, "Death in the Afternoon" which contains absinthe and is one of my favorite drinks here in Orlando. It was another five star experience and my friend found a new restaurant she now loves. All in all, a great night thanks to the attentiveness and easy-going attitude of Mel, our server, and the exceptional cocktails from the bartender, Serena. Thank you both for a job very well done!

It was literally bitter sweet, with the sweetness coming from the fruits, and the bitterness most likely from the liquor. It was still a good and refreshing drink. For the appetizer, I had to try their unique and popular pork belly s'mores. It looked like a dessert, but a sweet and savory dish. The pork belly was braised nicely and tender, with the marshmallow adding the sweetness. The homemade crackers were very nice, and the jalapeno added a nice kick. The main dish was the bourbon chicken. It was nicely tender and had a hint of sweetness from the bourbon. The rice went well with the chicken, and the broccolini was perfectly grilled. For dessert, the bread pudding with ice cream was a perfect end. Moist and delicious. It was getting full, so I was able to save some and enjoy at home too. The service was attentive with my bartender checking up with me occasionally. They were quite busy, but still friendly. The dining area looked dark and a bit more formal than last time I visited.
