   The worst dining experience I’ve ever had. I’ve eaten there before and everything was fine, but now under new management it was a disaster. In the past there was a vegan menu that no longer existed. When asked the waiter said that they would be able to accommodate vegan dishes. We were seated promptly and our order was taken. We ordered a bottle of wine that came shortly after we received our water, unfortunately we waited 45 minutes before the bread arrived. We had to ask the waiter and then the manager for our bread. The manager seemed to have blamed the oven for our bread dilemma. After a while the salad was served. The Mediterranean salad was fine, the only decent thing that we ordered, unfortunately the waiter never brought the olive oil that I requested more than once. The Caesar salad was tasteless. The eggplant parmigiana was terrible but the fettuccine porcini was worse, tasted like it was cooked in dishwater, perhaps it was. The black pepper was what made it almost palatable. We waited over an hour after the salad was served before the other dishes arrived. The manager blamed this problem on the computer. At this point I’ve had it and just wanted out, but not before I expressed my feelings, letting the manager, staff, and anyone else in the restaurant know just what I thought and what a disappointment this restaurant has become. The manager realized how bad our experience was, so we weren’t charged for our misfortune.

   Evening started out normally enough . Appetizers were good—service was pleasant until we began to ask where our pasta entrees were one full hour after finishing our first course. We had not seen the pleasant waiter in all that time. He told us the manager would have to answer that question, The manager could not sufficiently answer the question and didn’t seem to think it was a problem that we had waited one hour for pasta dishes, which I’m guessing take 8-10 minutes max to prepare? Pleasant waiter returns to tell us 7 minutes more until the pasta comes out with no explanation let alone an apology. Stood up to talk to manager who was directly behind me at bar. He turns out to be a Frustrated man who appears desperate to make us go away by telling us we can leave and the appetizers and drink are on the house. Though owning up to the mistake and an apology would have been courteous and professional and would have had us stay, neither was offered and we exited the restaurant.

   La Mod was always billed as “contemporary Italian”. That means, not Italian-American. In its new iteration, the food has moved yet another step away from pasta with red sauce. More veg, lean unsauced meat and fish—those were our choices, but you will probably recognize many favorites on the menu. Very hospitable, seating in or out in the covered passage. Feb 2020 still in shakedown mode, but worth it.

   They took away every vegan option, but online it shows they have them. This is why we went. Every restaurant around was busy, they were not. Server almost pushed us out the door as if she was as saving us from dining there.

   An authentic Italian restaurant. They have numerous types of fresh gluten free pasta. We had the bolognese with GF spaghetti and fettuccine porcini with GF fettuccine and they were excellent. The panna cotta was great, highly recommend.

    Had a really nice experience at La Mod. We went for Miami Spice but I ended up just getting some pasta that was really good. My husband got the Vegan Lollies and Broccoli and I had a bite. This was a great tasty dish. Also the calamari he got was light and good as well. Good experience overall. Would go back if we loved in the area.

    A little bit pricey, even with the Miami Spice. If they ask you if you want bread, take into account they will charge you for it, even if they don’t tell you about it in advance. Waiters are friendly. The truffles and mushroom risotto was delicious and the tiramisu was pretty good. Overall a good experience.

    We went for Miami Spice, what a deal! Restaurant seems to be ran like a fine tuned machine. Couple slips on our food, but quickly and barely noticeably fixed. We were in no rush so nothing bothered us, other than the loud echo of everyone talking as the acoustics are really bad and the lighting was super bright. We will be back though! Swordfish was INCREDIBLE!

    The service was excellent ! The Caesar salad, and bread was really good, but unfortunately our entrées were not up to scratch. We both had the seafood pasta dish. The pasta itself was cooked to perfection, ( nicely el dente ) but the tomato sauce tasted like pure tomato paste with nothing added, and the shrimp & squid tasted like it had freezer burn, (I'm not saying it had freezer burn, I'm just saying it tasted that way.) which tainted the whole dish. We both added balsamic vinegar to our dish, which seemed to help !! Even though we felt let down with our main course, we may give it another try, but steer away from their pasta dishes.

    Server made an error inputting our entree order into the system which resulted in 1 dish coming out much earlier (15 minutes) before all others. The 1 dish was taken to the back to warm back up. Additionally, we had to ask for more water, as they were either understaffed or not paying attention. It was quality food but just average service.

    WE WERE STUCK. There was no indication of a fixed price limited menu on the open table booking site. It wasn’t until we were seated and shown the menu that we were aware of the limited menu and pricing. We stayed because we had no other options on New Year’s Eve. We have enjoyed La Moderna in the past, but the choices were not great and the food was unremarkable.

    Really nice romantic place and our server Pasquale was really attentive and nice even tho we had just Miami spice, he didn't lower his hospitality like they do at other places. All the food was great, simple but tasty like they do it in Italy. Butternut squash ravioli were the best ravioli I had! The texture was perfect.. Will be back for sure.

    The service was exceptional. Ricardo knows the menu, the wine list and his recommendations were followed in most cases. The food was very good, eggplant fresh and tasty, fettuccine noodles made on premises with balanced seasonings, and the cheesecake was to die for.

    Honestly, the food was plain, boring, bland and tasteless. My friend who loves the vegan and vegetarian options (she doesn’t even cook with salt), thought everything was boring. Service was good tho. The best tasting items were the desserts.
