Modern Oysterbar Chophouse

Excellent food and service. Have been here for dinner and HH several times and recently brunch. Highly recommended

Service, food and ambience was excellent as usual. Love this place!

Excellent atmosphere, service and dinner, looking forward to returning!

With a name like “Oyster Bar” one would expect some great oysters. Very disappointed with selection and servers answer to my questioning the lack there of. I know a bit about oysters having lived in the Pacific Northwest. So... you can’t tell me California oysters are PNW! Completely underwhelmed with the seafood. I realize it’s AZ, but other restaurants seem to acquire much better seafood. As for the service- our server went missing for 20 minutes. He seemed to have an excuse for every mishap. We ordered the Brussel sprouts to accompany our meal. They never made it to our table. As we finished our mussels, our server asked if we’d like our seafood platter, as it would take 15 minutes to assemble. As he finished his sentence it was delivered to our table. ??? Clearly some issues with orders.
Sadly, I won’t be headed back, as there better places to my spend time and money. Below is a photo of the seafood platter. Not very appealing.

First visit, on a recommendation,
Will definitely be coming back

My $65 steak was over cooked. They brought out a new one, but it was tasteless. The ambiance and service was impeccable.

Fantastic experience! Good, staff and atmosphere were all outstanding. Definitely going back soon.

The restaurant week menu seemed ok. The onion soup seemed salty to me and the salmon portion was smaller than I expected for the price. The taste was just ok, though the small potatoes and brussel sprouts that accompanied it were good. The highlight of my meal was the butterscotch creme brulee. It was outstanding! My husband enjoyed his Caesar salad, flat iron steak and key lime pie. He requested the fries be crispy and the kitchen did that very well. The service was very good and the restaurant is very nicely appointed. The food came out of the kitchen at a good pace and we didn't feel rushed. Part of the reason I wouldn't recommend this is that we live almost an hour away and I didn't think the food was worth that long of a drive.

What a pleasant surprise. The food was truly excellent. The service was just as good. The owner came around to check up on us and really wanted feedback - which was only positive. The ambiance and design was different and interesting. It's a pretty new place so I hope they continue at this level. We'll definitely be back.

Exception meal. Best oysters in the valley. Surprisingly wonderful french onion soap for America, no less an oyster bar. Key lime pie and espresso cheese cake the best. Excellent wine list and extremely knowledgable recommendations. All the service was perfect. Noise level higher than the food deserves but not intolerable. Went as a Restaurant Week experiment. Left as a regular.

Exceptional service and food. A great addition to the Scottsdale dining scene.

Exceptional for a chophouse. We will return. interested in the happy hour for the oysters.

Very good place for a fancy night out. Service was excellent. Food, very good. Only reason I didn't give five stars is because I had the Halibut ($40), and it was a little overcooked on one side, making it very dry, so for the price, that was disappointing. Everything else was excellent.

Great service! Food was fresh and well prepared! Loved the french onion soup! Fresh rolls were nice! Halibut was well seasoned! Bacon french toast bread pudding was very good and butterscotch creme brulee was very flavorful!

The food and service was amazing!

Great ambiance and excellent food. Can't wait for cooler weather to try the patio.

Go for the oysters steak and mashed potatoes were loaded with salt almost inedible .Whole lobster was said to be 2 1/2 lbs came out instead at about 1 1/2lbx for $50 way overpriced even for Scottsdale

Absolutely spectacular! Our waiter, CE, was tremendous and gave us excellent descriptions and menu guidance.

This restaurant is very repeatable and ranks among the best restaurants Scottsdale has to offer! The Halibut, Shrimp, and Mussels were delicious and the Key Lime Pie was amazing!

Bravo!

The food , service, and lux setting was superb . We’ll be back.

Excellent service great food long drink

The noise level in the back on top of the stage was too loud. I felt I was yelling at the table to have a conversation. Overall, food and service was good.

Food, drinks, service, atmosphere...it was all amazing.

We dine here often and always friendly and personable. The food is fantastic and fresh

I was good. My husband liked his steak but didn't love it.
Our waiter was great.

Our hostess Cat and her family did an amazing job making us feel welcome and special. The food was top notch as was our services and ambiance. Highly recommend Modern.

Excellent experience in every way. We'll definitely be back!

Great spot

First time here... The restaurant was very clean, the Ambiance was nice, and our server was extremely attentive. However, we were expecting a little bit more variety and options when it comes to oysters, as the name of the restaurant gives a perception they would be more extensive (having oyster bar in the actual name).

Oysters were good, although a little pricey at $22 per half-dozen. We also ordered the lamb which was perfect!

Great meal and great service. Don’t miss this place if you are in town. This was our second time here and it was unforgettable.

Food was very good. Service was excellent. Management was very attentive.

We gave Modern a try for our anniversary - the prix fixe menu was a great opportunity. Is it Steak 44? Nope. But did my hubby think his filet was great? Yep. Server was absentee at times, drink prices are on the high side ($15 martinis?),and it might sound weird but I missed not having classic white tablecloths! Appreciated vegetarian option (not told to order sides like at S44) - if you spruce up the Caesar salad I would have been happier.

This is now one of our favorites . We live in Tucson and have not found anything to compare to MOC.

MODERN OYSTERBAR CHOPHOUSE was one of the best restaurants I have been to in a very long time. The food was incredible and the service was impeccable. You can tell that everything was incredibly fresh. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. The waiter knew when to come over and ask how everything was, and when to step back and let my husband and I have a great date night. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. We will be back!

FOOD AND SERVICE WERE EXCELLENT.WE WILL BE BACK AGAIN

The best seafood in our area! The lobster bisque was amazing with nice chunks of lobster. Really enjoyed the crab Louis salad. My husband’s filet was super tender. We had a beautiful dining experience. Our server was wonderful! We will definitely be back!

This was our 4th or 5th visit to Modern Oysterbar and it never disappoints!! A++ for food and service. We have brought a new friend to the restaurant every time and they all come away with the same opinion - GREAT place. Especially happy it is in our neighborhood!!

The food and service are all incredible. The Kumamoto oysters were fabulous!!

Fabulous restaurant, the freshest seafood that leaves you coming back for more, love their always perfect selection of oysters! Crab cakes are exceptional, foie gras will is out of these world with just correct accompaniments! Selection of wine, preparation and presentation of food and desserts, ambiance, service,.. everything will make any occasion special as this restaurant, owners, and team are!

Very well appointed. Food and cocktails are very good. Kelly is a great server.

Great food. Great service and the owners are there every night.
