Such a cute spot for dinner and drinks! We recently just came here this weekend on a whim because we wanted to go somewhere not so crowded...but would still provide us with an upscale downtown Orlando experience and The Moderne did not disappoint! This spot is located right in a strip mall on East Colonial close to Mills. Parking is pretty easy to find as there is a parking lot in the back and street parking within the surrounding area. Upon entering, we were greeted immediately by the hostess and were seated on the patio. Our server was soo kind and attentive, even taking the time to have conversations with us and crack some jokes. For my drink, I ordered the Espresso Martini which was very tasty and not too sweet, which I definitely prefer. For the food, we got the Korean Fried Chicken and the Mushroom Bibimbop. The Korean Fried Chicken had such an amazing crunch to them and was seasoned perfectly! The Mushroom Bibimbop was phenomenal as well, it came out PIPING HOT in a stone bowl... I ate every last bit of it! Overall, I would have to say that The Moderne is a great place for some type of quaint celebration or date night! The ambiance is very romantic and elegant. I will definitely be back soon to try the other items on the menu! read more

Been to the Morderne a few times and it never disappoints. It has a great atmosphere for friends or a romantic date and the servers are always friendly. The spicy vodka pasta is a must and the chorizo and crab crow croquettes were really good as well. I also ordered two mocktails that had passionfruit in there. The first one was not that great just because I don't like pineapple, and I didn't think it mixed well together. The second one I asked for was Virgin passionfruit mojito, and that was really good. read more

The Moderne - Crab and chorizo croquettes - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Stopped by for happy hour after a show. Really good vibe. Love the decorations with the splash of color, different types of seating from booths to high tops and more intimate seating. Our server was kind and friendly. We had the chicken wings, croquettes, duck dumplings, gin gimlet, and whiskey sour. Best whiskey sour I've had in a long time. It had a little kick to it. The wings were our favorite. Crisp, crunchy, and delish. read more

Beautiful ambiance that's thankfully paired with high quality food and cocktails. We enjoyed the Duck Wontons, Sushi Stack, Pork Gyoza, and KFC. Also tried the Pink Fizz drink that was delicious. The only complaint with the KFC was that it was garnished with some stringy purple thing that was awful and ruined the texture of the chicken. We tried to pull it off but it was piled on top of the sticky texture so hard to remove. Overall a solid experience that we'd return for and recommend! read more

The vibes here is really nice and chill, good place for a hangout with some friends. But it can get really busy so a reservation is recommended. Service was also good and attentive. We went for happy hour, which I thought was a pretty decent price for what we ordered. These are small plates, so honestly I feel it would've been a bit pricey if it wasn't happy hour. The pressed tuna roll was a favorite. The rest of the food was good, but not something that blew my mind. The flavor was there, was it was pretty mild in my opinion, but that's just because I prefer stronger flavors in my food. Not pictured was the Korean chicken wings, flavor was good, but they were hard (not crispy but just straight up hard). read more

The moderne has one of the best menus in Orlando. It's one of those places similar where you need a reservation. Hands down the beef bulgogi is the best thing to order. For apps I recommend the tuna kobachi if you like raw fish, the bao buns, the crab Rangoon milk bread, the sticky ribs, and the pasta. 10s across the board from the drinks to the attention to detail in the food. The service can sometimes be a little slow but there are usually a bunch of people there so please be kind to the waiters. Drink wise, the woman in white is the best drink and it comes with a cute bubble, or the waltzing drink. So so yummy, I will say that since it is on mills, parking is mostly in the street. The decor and ambiance is one of my faves, so when a friend is in town, we def have to stop at the moderne! read more

The server and host were exceptionally nice, we had Ian take care of us. I wish I could do four and a half stars. We got the roast duck but subbed the Chinese traditional pancake for scallion pancake and the duck was so good. Definitely worth it. The beef skewer was good. The Chilean sea bass skewer was not bad but missing salt and the flavors were not balanced. Only pet peeves are that stacking scallion pancakes ruins the crisp you work hard to get, and not having new plates for food when some of our food was saucy. read more

The Moderne is one of my favorite spots in Orlando. From the chic decor that is like my own style to the creatively crafted cocktails and menu items, I am guaranteed a good time every time I come here. Whenever I have friends visiting from out of town, this tends to be one of the places I take them to. read more

This is maybe my fourth or fifth time at The Moderne, and I have yet to be disappointed. The ambiance is perfect, the music is always on point, and it's just a great spot for date night or a girls' night out. And every server I've had has been nice and welcoming. Every dish I've had thus far has been amazing. From the fish bao to the mushroom bibimbap. No complaints whatsoever, and would order it all again. Also went for happy hour, for which they offer $2 off select dishes and tapas, and $8 specialty drinks. Let's just say the bartenders (shout out to Taylor!) know what they're doing because every drink I've had there has been great. Making a reservation is recommended, as they do get crowded during peak times. Needless to say, The Moderne has become one of my go-to spots. Consistency is always key for me! read more

One of the best happy hour spots in town! Drinks and food options are stellar. I have been here a few times and am surprised I haven't left a review... The ambience is nice/moderne, great vibe for catching up with friends or date night. I recommend making a reservation since it does get busy even on weekdays. The drinks are A MUST, if you arent feeling any of the signature drinks you can always ask the bartender if they have any suggestions. Few times Ive gone I mention what ingredients I like and they get creative with making me a drink that taste delicious. Saved the best for last...THE FOOD is phenomenal. The spicy vodka noodles, salmon sushi, chicken wings, and croquettes are some of my favorite. Everything is made fresh and taste soooooo good. Tip Come hungry! The tapa style entrees come quick and easy to share. read more

One of my favorite cocktail spots in Orlando! They have an awesome monthly cocktail menu, in addition to their regular menu. Service is always excellent, no matter how busy they are.

Highly recommend you make reservations and add time to find parking because their lot is very busy! read more

My partner and I went to the moderne for a date night on a whim. We were looking for a nice restaurant/bar and I had remembered seeing them in my feed. We didn't know much about the place and figured we'd get some food with our drinks and just enjoy the night. To say we were shocked was an understatement. I usually don't expect anything crazy when I get food at a bar, but these dishes were incredible. Everything was so delicious and the restaurant was such a comfortable atmosphere. They staff were really quick about clearing the tables to make room for arriving people. It was completely packed when we went, and now I understand why! The Rangoon dip was so delicious I actually make it at home all the time now (but I add imitation crab). The drinks were amazing as well. I appreciate when a drink is made strong and actually tastes good. I love all the names they came up with for the menu and it had me cracking up. Definitely go support their business and check it out for your next date night (it's a great spot for cute pictures too)! read more

2 years ago, my brother and his wife introduced my wife and I to this cool little spot in Orlando. Central Florida has been getting some great places of diverse and influential eateries for the past several years. This tapas-style restaurant should be included on this list. Their version of the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) is amazing! The Miso Cream Pasta with Pork Belly and Mushrooms are to die for. And my personal favorite: the Chilean Sea Bass Skewer. Wow. The Moderne has some great Asian-inspired dishes that challenge your tastebuds. Which reminds me: "They're your tastebuds. Satisfy them!" -Allan Delacruz read more

This place is popping!!! You definitely want to make a reservation or come in for an early dinner if you want to get in. Upon entering, I immediately noticed how stunning the decor was. The place was vibrant, lively, chic, and fun! Our server was so full of personality and had tons of great recommendations! They are known for their drinks and have a monthly menu with new creations! We tried the Diss Track & It Takes Too, both bold and tasty. The menu is tapas style, so we chose 4 small plates to share. The food is crazyyyy good!!!!! The dishes were packed with flavor and you could tell they use quality ingredients. We tried the Mushroom Bibimbap, Crab Rangoon Japanese Milk Bread, Yellowtail Press Roll, Beef Bulgogi. I was sadly disappointed with the yellowtail roll. That was pretty flavorless and served room temp which felt weird for a sushi roll. However, the Milk Bread, Beef, and Mushroom are all MUST try's!!!!! Amazing!!!! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience! I did feel that some of the plates were a bit pricey for the portions, but this seems typical based on the location and restaurant genre. I would love to come back sometime! Definitely recommend! read more

Honestly every time I come here I do my best to get different items but I have tried so many tasty dishes! Last time I went recently and tried the bulgogi beef which comes with an incredible presentation of a lit fire underneath keeping the food hot, the wings, the croquetas, the krab Rangoon bread which comes in the form of the Korean garlic bread, I tried their pasta, their duck wontons, their bao, their lamb, and honestly there is nothing on the menu that I didn't like. read more

Dining at The Moderne was not simply a meal. It was a carefully crafted culinary experience that balanced refined technique, beautiful presentation, and truly exceptional hospitality. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere created a sense of modern elegance that felt welcoming and sophisticated at the same time. Every element of the evening worked together to create one of the most memorable restaurant experiences I have had. I began with the shrimp and crab gyoza, which immediately demonstrated the skill and attention to detail of the kitchen. The dumplings were delicate and perfectly prepared, with a wrapper that was tender yet structured enough to hold a filling that was rich and full of flavor. The sweetness of the shrimp blended beautifully with the natural depth of the crab, creating a flavor that was balanced and deeply satisfying. Each bite showed thoughtful preparation and an impressive understanding of ingredients. Next came the miso cream noodles, which were nothing short of outstanding. The dish achieved a remarkable balance between comfort and complexity. The miso brought a deep savory character to the cream while the sauce remained smooth and luxurious. The noodles were cooked perfectly and absorbed the sauce beautifully. The result was a dish that felt both innovative and comforting, a true example of culinary mastery. To finish the meal I enjoyed the Yuzu Bliss, which provided a bright and refreshing conclusion to the evening. The citrus notes were vibrant and clean, offering a perfect contrast to the richness of the earlier dishes. The dessert felt elegant and thoughtfully composed, allowing the natural flavor of yuzu to shine while leaving the palate refreshed. While the food itself was extraordinary, the highlight of the evening was the incredible service provided by my server, Yanelis. She delivered a level of hospitality that truly elevated the entire dining experience. From the beginning she was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Her knowledge of the menu was exceptional and she explained each dish with clarity and enthusiasm. It was clear that she deeply understood the food and cared about ensuring that guests had the best possible experience. Yanelis had an incredible sense of attentiveness. She anticipated needs effortlessly and checked in at exactly the right moments without ever interrupting the flow of the meal. Her professionalism combined with her kindness made the experience feel personal and special. She guided the evening with confidence and warmth, and her presence made the dinner feel thoughtfully curated. Because of both the incredible cuisine and the remarkable service from Yanelis, my experience at The Moderne was truly outstanding. It was a perfect ten out of ten dining experience. Restaurants can serve great food, but it takes a truly exceptional server to transform a meal into a memorable occasion. Yanelis did exactly that, and I look forward to returning again soon. read more

The Moderne - (From right) Garlic fried rice, Korean wings, duck wontons, shrimp & pork dumplings - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The Moderne! The first of it's kind in Orlando that in my mind blended the best of Tori Tori and Domu! Why do I say this? Well, to me, they took some of the best of each and blended them together to create a upper scale neighborhood eatery that truly walks the line between a restaurant that tries to be a bar or a bar that tries to be a restaurant. For those that know, they have a monthly cocktail list that changes with new concepts that are voted on and created by the bartenders and employees to create a spotlight of several drinks that make it for the month. Tonight my guest and I tried each and everyone. Shown below are two of our favorites which were the Don't Bully Me and The In Mint Condition. Both had consistent and balance flavor profiles that carry through the drink and created a certain vibe in flavor that was enjoyable. Repaired these drinks and the other ones we had with several food items, including the Kushiyaki of chicken, beef, A5 wagyu. All were done well, however I felt they should have been a little more crispy as traditionally, it's cooked closer to the charcoal. All in all, a good experience. Donny was out server tonight and he did a great job making the delicious cocktails and taking our order as we needed it. Many thanks to him and the team that served us this evening. Looking for a neighborhood bar or restaurant that out competes each side of each other? The Moderne is a delicious eatery that will have uniquely created cocktails to try. This establishment is probably the most creative when it comes to cocktails in Orlando! read more

Pleasantly surprised by the flavor, different options, and overall presentation of these dishes. It is PERFECT to go with a friend to split plates, tapas style or by yourself. You cannot go wrong with any dish you pick. I loved that they have a happy hour as well. Their kitchen is quick and service is excellent! The ambiance was great for a date night, treat yourself, or a place to catch up with an old friend. It has an elevated moody feel to it. Highly recommend you order - Penicillin cocktail - Eggplant | Soft but has a crunchy panko coating with the cheese at the bottom makes this a great combo - Sticky Ribs | Tender, falls off the bone - Miso Cream Noodles | It's a creamy miso infused sauce that is so tasty with the pork and mushroom. Like a miso carbonara. - She's Spicy Baos | I love meat but this oyster mushroom could convert me. Little spice but lot of flavor and textures - Duck Wontons | Full of meat and it's fried. You can't go wrong - Beef Skewer | Very tender and not heavy on the teriyaki which is perfect read more

I had been wanting to try this place since it opened. I heard so much about it. I came for a friend's birthday and I had an overall good time but felt the food was a little less than what I expected. I ordered the Rangoon dip, the cucumber salad, chicken skewers, and crab and shrimp gyoza. The service was really good especially considering we were a party of about 12. The decor is lovely and very aesthetically pleasing for photos (which I failed to take because I was carrying on with my friends) I loves the bench style seats at the tables and was very comfortable. There's also a good amount of parking in the back of the restaurant. Now the food, the Rangoon dip wasn't at all reminiscent of crab Rangoon. It was a fondue like dip instead of a more cream cheesy like I had hoped for. The crab and shrimp gyoza looked delicious and by appearance of the seared side, I expected it to be crispy, instead it was soft which disappointed me. The flavor was pretty good tho. The cucumber salad and the chicken skewers were both lacking in any flavor at all. Both were sadly quite bland. The drinks were absolutely fantastic, their specialty drinks were very creative and offered an experience with each one. I'd go back for drinks definitely but the food was tragically a miss. read more

Yall... the need bulgogi was one of the best things I've ever had in my life. As I'm typing this, I'm wishing that I had an upcoming reservation at The Moderne so o could experience this again. The flavors in the bulgogi are soooo good, and then the fact that it comes on a hot plate with the fire underneath ensure that your food stays hot the ENTIRE time! Our server was also very nice! She's the reason why I chose the beef bulgogi over the spicy vodka! I'll be back here!! read more

The Moderne is a cool space that is great for gathering for some drinks and food in a cute space! I came in for their late night happy hour which begins at 10PM and I will say the late night food quality is spectacular. I had the Creamy Miso Noodles and they were creamy, hot and delicious. It comes with 2 pieces of pork on the side which are also salty, savory, and tasty. I ordered a watermelon tequila drink which I thought I would enjoy more but it tasted smoked. Nothing against the quality of the drink, just my personal preference. I will definitely be returning and ordering a different drink and re-ordering the creamy miso noodles! read more

What a cute vibe inside. I loved the decor it's very upscale. It was busy Saturday night but I was able to grab a sit at the bar. I was greeeted quickly and given a water but it took sometime to get a drink order in. Menus are digital so be sure to scan. I ordered the unsuitable for waltzing it was good but not as sweet as I thought it would be. The snowball in the middle is a fun part of the drink and definitely keeps it cold. I also got the crab Rangoon dip, this was definitely yummy I thought it was going to be hotter when it arrived but it was just warm but yummy nonetheless. I also ordered one chicken skewer because it is some small bites available there and that was super yummy and delicious and it was the right amount of food for me by myself. Definitely want to return to try more of the bigger items on the menu. read more

I love going to Moderne, they have such a chill vibe and everything is always on point. I always get the same bartender when I go and I always forget to get his name but he is amazing, his drink creations are always delicious. For food we ordered the Croquettes which came out fast and hot. The croquettes were stuffed and had a really good flavor. We also got the Calamari, the calamari was kind of bland for me but still edible. All the drinks we ordered were delicious and unique. All the bartenders are super nice, friendly, and always willing to make a drink to your liking. The Moderne is the perfect place for a date night and the inside is beautiful, highly recommend. read more

I was super excited to try to this place since it looks super cute and I heard good reviews. However, I think most food items I got lacked flavor and simply put just salt. My whole party felt the same way with their food except when it came to the pasta! The portions for pasta were good as well but overall if I'm coming to this area I'd likely go somewhere else. Only the Miso noodle was worth coming back to. The server was pretty nice but seemed pretty occupied although it wasn't too busy. She refilled our waters towards the end and we had to get her attention for anything but I can't say anything bad. read more

Suchhhhhh a cute place, i absolutely loved the eay this place was decorated, also i dont know if it was a special occasion but all of the bartenders had cool button down shirts on. They so have many options for seating, low and hightop tables, lounge chairs and the bar. I ordered the sea bass skewer, cucumber salad, broccolini, shrimp and crab dumplings and a house red wine. My friend ordered a cute drink but i honestly can remember the name right now. The cucumber salad didn't have as much flavor as i wanted so if you enjoy the taste of just cucumbers than it's good, broccoli was good not very memorable, ive had better sea bass elsewhere it was not bad it just didn't have much flavor and i think a seabass take on the taste of anything so it wasn't my favorite... HOWEVER those crab and shrimp dumplings were delicious! Star of the show! I usually do recommend trying a food but this time i will, the texture and flavor were absolutely delicious. Thank you Moderne for curate a fun place to grab small plates have a drink and chat. read more

The Moderne was an amazing experience. I had my birthday dinner here and my server Kyle, as well as the staff were all so welcoming, warm, and attentive. Kyle made sure our table was satisfied every time he stopped by, and he even brought out complimentary birthday shots for the entire party. The croquettes were DELICIOUS and savory. The Korean Fried Chicken was crunchy and flavorful. Our party ordered them twice, and the towelettes in the bowl were a nice touch and presentation. The Fire Roasted Duck, Chicken Skewers, and Grilled Broccolini were honorable mentions from my friends. No one had any complaints. The cocktails were satisfying too. I had the Diss Track and the I like to Move It Move It. Both were made just right.
