"Modern Bird, the sexy 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 elevated food, in a completely approachable space. Don’t miss the cheesy bread with ranch butter, before sinking into more seasonal offerings—such as a pea pesto, mushroom, and goats cheese galette." - Stacey Brugeman
