    I am a great fan of Neil Perry and I realised this may be the last chance to savour his excellent asian cuisine at Songbird before it closes. It was great - the food, the service, and all were outstanding. The wine suggestions by the wait staff were excellent. I hope the new venture works out well

    Had a great experience at MOD Dining! The food was absolutely delicious — the crispy fried eggplant was definitely the highlight for me. Seriously, if you go, get the eggplant. Our waiter was super attentive and just a really cool person overall, which made the whole vibe even better. The restaurant itself has a beautiful atmosphere — stylish but still really comfortable. Highly recommend dining here if you’re looking for a great meal and nice vibe.

    Food was divine (be sure to order a lot — maybe around 7 small plates because the portions are small), and the service was super friendly. Ambience was very relaxed but romantic (good for dates!). Fantastic all around. The steak, potato pave, and duck are mindblowing. I could’ve had just ordered 2-3 servings each of those three things and died happy.
