    The ambiance and food were second only to our fabulous server, Amy. I entertained a group of 8 clients and could not have asked for a better dining experience. We had a reservation for 5 and at the minute asked if we could change it to 9 and the Maitre Dee accommodated us with grace and professionalism. You must go to Martini Modern - they do not disappoint!

    The food was exceptional. The presentation and taste were both fantastic. Service was good - but nothing to boast about. I had the chicken carbonara, and the ny strip was my boyfriend’s order. Both very good. I enjoyed the Beef Carpaccio the most at the table. I feel like the whole restaurant was incredibly loud. It was difficult to hear conversation at the table - and with the caliber of food and it being a Monday - I didn’t think it would be so busy and so loud. We also made our reservations probably over 2 months ago, and we were still seated at a high top at the bar rather than the dining area. Overall, the food was good. The experience was very expensive - and I’m not sure if the value was there. My boyfriend was happy for his birthday, but it could’ve been better in my opinion.

    The food was excellent. My husband had the lamb pappardelle and I had the filet with rigatoni—so delicious. The service was great. Highly recommend trying

    We dined on a Tuesday evening, and the restaurant was packed. It was very lively. We had a drink at the bar first, and it was excellent. Each seat had a purse hook - great amenity! Dinner was delicious! They readily made a few changes to accommodate our individual needs. We will definitely go back.

    The lobster and eggs for Easter brunch was bland and a waste of money. The quiche was fantastic!

    We all ordered from the Easter Brunch menu and enjoyed our selections!!! The Cinnamon French Toast was particularly delicious!!! Our server was helpful and attentive. My only comment was that it was pretty loud making conversation a little difficult. Perhaps the music could have been a bit quieter being that it was midday and many large groups dining. Overall, though, it was an excellent experience!

    Enjoyed Easter brunch with family before the Clippers game. We all ordered off the brunch menu, though the full menu was available, and my son said it was the best breakfast he’d ever had. Quiche was outstanding as were the lobster and eggs. Service was great. Highly recommend.

    The chicken parm was OUT..OF..THIS..WORLD. Substitute for vodka sauce. Service was friendly and attentive. Seating is well laid out so you are not dining with your neighbors.
