Meal was okay, nothing spectacular considering the high priced meal. We were looking forward to try a new place to use and unfortunately will not be back. Waitress was very kind and not very knowledgeable about the food or beverage.

This was a gift while we were on our mini-moon. We now want to come back up just so we can go to this restaurant again. It was absolutely amazing. I would never be able to reccomend it enough.

We ate dinner at the Modern Barn, and it was great. The food was outstanding although a bit pricey. The service and atmosphere were great. Look forward to eating there again.

The space itself was definately charming and the thin staff were nice and hardworking, but the overall experience was underwhelming for the price.

Very first visit to Modern Barn- it was fantastic! Our waitress was awesome! So friendly & she gave us plenty of time to decide on our drinks, appetizers & dinner selections. There were so many great things on the menu it was very hard to choose! Everything was delicious. The lobster sliders were excellent & so adorable. The stuffed sole & shrimp scampi were perfect. The presentation of the food was like works of yummy art. We will be back on our next visit.

Don’t miss this gem! Great place that we would have missed out on but found it on Open Table! Redone barn- cool vibes. Great drinks/wine and the food was fantastic! Definitely recommend the lobster rangoons, stuffed sole with crabmeat and risotto, and the clam chowder with bread. So delicious!
