    Too loud. Table for six and we could not hear each other or have polite conversation. Go only with someone you don’t want to talk to or go alone.

    The bruschetta with ricotta and roasted cardamom grapes was unexpectedly delicious. Pot pie was gorgeous as was the risotto. Loved it and especially festive.

    I love Cafe Modern; it is one of my favorite places. Our experience Friday night was not up to par with my husband's Steak Frites coming out cold. While Management compensated us for the issue and we appreciated their concern, it took away from the enjoyment of the evening. We sat next to the windows since the view was spectacular, however the tables under the windows have air blowing down from the vents causing us to feel cold throughout the meal. My Osso Buco cooled so quickly, it was cold halfway through eating it. And it was so good! Please do something about that.

    Unique and exquisitely prepared menu. Very attentive and personable staff. My wife and I thought we'd be sensible and split a salad and a sandwich from the weekday lunch menu; both were stunning. The Pear Salad (Red Wine Poached Pear, Point Reyes Blue Cheese, Candied Walnuts, Castelfranco Radicchio, Frisée, Ice Wine Vinaigrette)...enough for two by itself. Also split the Autumn Grilled Cheese sandwich (Apple Maple Bacon Jam, Fontina, Brie on Whole Wheat)...perfectly assembled and toasted. Oh, and the sandwich comes with Choice of Simple House Salad, French Fries or Old Bay Potato Chips. So for us, fries! A menu full of wonderfully hard decisions, all with floor to ceiling glass windows looking out over the pond and park and architecture of The Modern.
