"Modern Bird, a little neighborhood spot that opened in the summer of 2022, is one of the hottest reservations in town. The husband and wife team that runs it spent time at Michelin-starred kitchens in Chicago before coming North, and they’ve nailed the intersection of refined food, in a completely approachable space. Don’t miss the cheesy bread with ranch butter, before sinking into more seasonal offerings such as halibut served with picked ramps and smashed English peas. Reserve a table on Tock." - Stacey Brugeman
