   This was our first visit back since Covid and we weren’t disappointed!! I loved the oatmeal with all the flavorings added, but I believe my side of bacon stole the show! It was absolutely fabulous! It reminded me of my grandfather when he used to make his own bacon in his smoke house ❤️❤️!!

   Exceptional food and nice ambiance. Average service didn't dampen my experience, but might upset diners who are used to higher standards of fine dining.

   We went for Father’s Day and it was crowded, but they have plenty of room between tables. Was not a big fan when Cafe Modern bailed on their prior chef and food team and moved the contract over to Wolfgang Puck’s catering team. The menu is not bad, but it’s not near as good as what Modern Cafe used to serve. That said, the views and ambiance cannot be beat. Always love going here and am proud of FW for making this spot a perfect of The Modern. Don’t care for the art, but love this restaurant!

   The lunch experience was superb!! A serene and tranquil setting overlooking the reflection ponds enhanced the exquisite food. The chef knows how to create visually delicious desserts and lovely dishes. Every bite was special! Thank you for a special birthday lunch for me and my twin sister.

   The food was really good with. Houces for all diet regimens. I had artichoke/asparagus soup and cornbread, both of which were outstanding. The service is extremely slow. We waited quite some time for our food. We had to look up someone to bring us our check! That's really the only negative. It's a lovely place .

    Carrot soup was so salty and way to much pepper, asparagus and artichock soup too salty. Had to send both back. Soups are usually great there. Hamburger too salty and artichoke sandwich not good. Won’t be coming back we all 3 agreed

    The children’s options did not taste good. I tasted their food when I noticed they were not eating it. It had no flavor, I do not know what kids would eat the food they offered. My children are not picky eaters, and have tried many different foods. The adult food was delicious, the kids ate more of our food. I know kids menu’s are top priority, but I wish they had put a little more thought. The service was extremely slow, I think they were understaffed.

    The food was okay, if a little overpriced. The restaurant seemed fully staffed but our wait person didn't check on us and was late giving us the check, delaying our exit. Was hoping to eat outside but patio closed due to heat, understandably. The inside room was pleasant and the hostess gave us a nice table near the window. Every staff person was polite.

    I enjoyed a marvelous dinner at Cafe Modern Friday evening. I started with the beetroot panna cotta. I might quibble over the use of the term "panna cotta" (cooked cream?) in a salad, but the flavors of pureed beet root, the dressing, goat cheese and lettuces melded perfectly. One of the better salads I have had in awhile. My entree of Chrystal Chicken Roulade was equally flavorful and beautifully presented. I should have stopped there. The "brown butter" ice cream sounded very interesting, but proved to be a bit bland. Perhaps better if paired with something. Notwithstanding, a great dinner.

    I was at table #7. I had two servers, one was in training. My printed receipt says Karin, but there is a signature that looks like "Thank you, Jeanitte" While both were attentive, the experienced trainer stood out. I've already recommended the Cafe as I have also had brunch there. I am a member/patron.

    Never disappointed with the menu options and the quality of the dishes….the reason we always return. Service was friendly but not overly efficient for a weekday lunch hour. We had an hour and had to ask for our bill in order to pay and get back to work in time…leaving our dirty plates on the table.We ordered 2 iced teas, mezze as a main course and the artichoke sandwich. Excellent !

    One of our favorite restaurants. We go often but yesterday was our first experience with the new menu. Excellent in every way. Oriental additions are well-prepared and authentic. The unbaked cheesecake should not be passed up. We’re looking forward to trying the Friday night menu.

    We had a reservation for brunch at 2:30pm. I had requested an outdoor table before I knew that day would be unseasonably hot, but they were kind enough to seat us indoors instead with a beautiful view. Food and drinks came out promptly and everything was delicious. My only complaint is that our server was unfriendly and curt. She did not offer another drink when I finished my first. I felt like she was in a hurry and wanted us to leave. I’ll go back, but I hope I get a different server next time (or that she is in a better mood, lol.)

    The food was almost not edible. The cost was set at $72 per person. Had the cost been half that it still would not have been a decent value. We asked for more bread and we’re told there would be an extra charge. The service was VERY slow.

    My husband and I celebrated Mother’s Day at Cafe Modern. He ordered the beef entrée which came with soggy tortilla chips and a minimal amount of beef. He doesn’t like salmon and the other choices were vegan. He was more than disappointed. I ordered the salmon entrée and it was good. We both had the asparagus salad which was good. For dessert we had the lemon custard and it was good. The menu choices were limited by too many vegan choices. We have enjoyed dining here when the full menu is offered on non-holidays. However, these $72 per person meals did not satisfy for a holiday celebration.
