Bauhaus

We're visiting from out of town and our friends recommended this place. Everything on the menu looked amazing so even though we didn't have reservations for 6 people, we came and waited around 30minutes for a table on a Saturday night (not bad at all!). The beers and kombucha were great and all the dishes we ordered were very well made and delicious. We ordered 2 to 3 plates of each dish and the owner lady even made sure we were not ordering too much. We're glad to find that Modesto has such a good restaurant now. We will definitely come back since it looks like their menu changes often. Kudos to the hardworking pair that runs the restaurant!

Cute interior and outside! Food was delicious and employees are super friendly. We sat down by the counter snd loved seeing the chef cook in right front of us. We were there for brunch and next time, I’ll come back for dinner and dinks :)

Bauhaus is probably my favorite restaurant in Modesto. The food is always incredible. Honestly, just close your eyes and point at the menu and you’ll love whatever you get. It’s a tight fit inside and the back patio, but that absolutely adds to the vibe. Great place for a date or a small group. I’ve even been to a private baby shower here. Love it!!!

Bauhaus is an awesome spot for food, drinks, meetups, and hanging out with friends. I love the bar experience there, with the delicious food, drinks, and great conversations with friends, staff, or fellow guests. The owner, Tye Bauer and the staff are both welcoming and amazing. Make sure you don't miss out on this gem in Modesto!

Very cute hole in the wall, tapas place in downtown. I wish Modesto had more places like this. Their dishes are big enough to share, a little bigger than traditional tapas but smaller than entres. Their food is all fresh and light, tasty, made right in front of your eyes. Highly recommend and will be going back for more

Before I looked online I had no idea Bauhaus was even there. Come to find out the same owners of this place own Bauer's 66 Downtown on 9th street which I haven’t been to yet either but I’ve heard of. This place is really cool. It’s really small but had a nice vibe. Everyone there was really cool they greeted me like they knew me when I got there and they made great suggestions. I’m on my vegan journey right now but my friend is not. I found this place looking up vegan restaurants that have regular food too and they have some decent vegan options. The chef cooks everything right there behind the bar. I don’t really drink but they have a good beer selection and a decent wine selection. I tried the Mushroom Al ajillo, Roasted Asparagus, the Asparagus pastry and I had an off menu dish that was rice, vegetables and vegan sausage that I can’t remember the name of but was really good. My friend had the Beef Wellington and she liked it. I will definitely be going back here because the vibe is real chill. Thank you for a nice experience.

Came here again today 11 months later and I am so wowed by this place!!! The food is amazing!!! The desserts are amazing!! Tye Bauer is awesome! I got to talk with him for a while and he is a super nice person. His wait staff is amazing! If you want to taste what a artisan chef cooks, you need to do yourself a real favor and stop in to Bauhaus!!! The atmosphere here is what people always talk about wanting while savoring delicious food! I kick myself for waiting as long as I did to dine here. This place is totally awesome!! I cannot wait to come here again!!

It's nice to have a place that mixes it up from the other modesto spots. The staff was super friendly and fun. I could see some food being a miss for people which would change their experiences. The shrimp dish had raw garlic and the potatoes were not cooked fully and a little dry. BUT, if you order right, the food is excellent! The pork belly was so good! The l Kimchi and the sauce on the plate could have had a little more kick to it. The asparagus was tender and nicely seasoned. I also liked the vegan aoli and parm that was on it. The pork tenderloin had great flavors paired with it, the goats cheese with fruit was really nice with it. Definitely will go again!

This was my second visit to this culinary delight, and once again it reminded me why the experience here is so special. Tonight I went on the lighter side with the crab cake, which was exceptional! It was tender and elevated even further by a luxurious citrus béarnaise that brought the whole dish to life. I also tasted the feijoada, and it was outstanding: rich, comforting, and layered with the kind of depth that only comes from true craft. For shared bites, we enjoyed the pão and the bone marrow. Compliments to the chef and amazing team cultivating the experience.

Nice place with good vibes, service and food. I saw 3 people and they were masters of their domain. The bartender- serving nice tapas and loading up the drinks. The wonderdul waitress, hosting, taking orders and serving food. The dishwasher gentleman going quiet and diligently about his business keeping the flow of the dishes!!! Loved it!

What a great spot. It's very eclectic. Very creative atmosphere. Star was very inviting and pleasant. Stephanie was our waitress and she was very pleasant and attentive. The food is all small plates and tasted farm to fresh. We ordered the salad and Brie bomb to start. Both were absolutely delicious. We then ordered bruschetta, beef Wellington, and sirloin. Very delicious. Very fresh, very full of flavor. My favorite was the Brie bomb and sirloin. Great little place. Somebody took an idea or dream and made it happen. I would have given 5 stars but there is so little seating, uncomfortable chairs and the patio was very warm. They need a bigger place for sure!

Recently visited for tapas and loved all the variety of vegetable dishes and vegan options! The fried PB&J is a MUST TRY! Find my full review and more @yourneighborhoodvegan and Yourneighborhoodvegan.com

I just love this place! Non-descript store front makes you wonder if there is even a place to dine here. But turn right down the side street and there is a parking lot in the back. Inside, it's a small and intimate place. You can fit 6 to 8 people around the bar, one larger table and then several two seater tables. They also have a covered patioout back. They serve tapas, and several of them are gluten-free. Beer and wine only, and sometimes a cider or two, but they have a good rotating selection. Everyone who works here is just plain cool. Great amount of attention, and are just interesting people to talk to They do all the preparing and cooking right in front of you if you are at the bar. Food is always really good to great! Stable place to eat if you want to get out from the mainstream places and support local business in Modesto!

Cool vibe, friendly service, tasy beers and some good food. If your down on McHenry check it out

I chose to sit at the bar. Got to meet the owner named Ty. Ordered the garlic, thyme bone marrow which was excellent with the crusty bread and romaine salad underneath. The gambas de ajillo tasted just like if I got Argentinian frozen shrimp with salted butter, garlic, and shallots. Great with the crusty bread. I found getting the bone marrow more worth it. Was told to come back for the sausages. Can't wait!

Love this place! We tried it for the first time a few weeks ago and it did not disappoint. We met the charming owner who was gracious enough to come over and introduce himself. The service was topnotch! We ordered the special (octopus) and it was DELICIOUS! The eclectic ambiance was great.

Hmm so where do I start...maybe the fact that this place feels like you're part of a private club or something. I've been to this place maybe 3 times now with my wife and every time the vibe is right and the food is good! We always go prior to their busy times so we always get tremendous service! If you didn't know this place existed you would walk right past it. The inside is small but has a cool vibe to it. It's almost like a bar setting but where the bar would typically be the chef is cooking right in front of you! Every time we've come the food is always great! They change their menu out every so often but don't worry anything they have is going to bring your taste buds for a ride! One of my favorite spots in Modesto!

Felt a positive vibe upon entry, we sat in bar area. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. We were passing through but this spot left an imprint on my tastebuds. We ordered Pinot and Chardonnay. Pork Belly, whipped Fetta, Beef Wellington, sirloin steak, garlic Brie bomb, patatas braves. All were cooked perfectly. My personal faves were the pork Belly dish and garlic Brie bomb.

Food a bit expensive but decent. After passing by this little spot we finally checked it out. It's very small and alright for a cold one but don't go in hungry or on a budget.

What an amazing experience! The tapas were delicious. The beer and wine were fantastic. The vibe was everything. They accommodated my gluten allergy without hesitation. Gluten free cheesy bread, cucumber subbed with whipped feta dip, chimachuri steak, mini artichoke.... The gluten eaters also enjoyed the lamb pie and bake Brie! A perfect date night.

VEGAN SPECIFIC REVIEW: Bauhaus is VERY vegan friendly. I looked on Yelp to find a place that offered a vegan brunch in Modesto and Bauhaus popped up. Everything I ordered was absolutely outstanding. I ordered 4 items and split them with my partner and we were both satisfied with the brunch but not too stuffed. Not pictured is my seasonal spritz which had pomegranate seeds, strawberries, mango juice, blackberry juice, and something else that I'm forgetting. It was a 10/10). Our food came out at a decent pace, it felt like we had a 5-10 minute window between dishes which I personally enjoyed because you get to enjoy a freshly made/hot dish for every dish that you order. I only had to wait a few minutes to be seated at the bar/kitchen front area so I enjoyed watching the food be made! They even had purse hooks under the top of the bar!!!! This restaurant has a small place to park around back which is great! Overall an excellent experience!

Why do I love it here. The open kitchen. When other restaurants say this, they don't REALLY mean it. Here, it is in fact a place where you're watching and engaging with the chef. Listening to the chef idéate in real time was fun. The menu is curated in such a thoughtful way. The seasonal consideration keeps you on your toes from season to season. We had the clam steamers. Gambas (shrimp), beef Wellington, the baby artichokes and the broquetas (sardines) en vinagre. The staff makes excellent pairing recommendations throughout your meal and is attentive as much as possible. Reservations aren't required but if you want to sit at the bar (highly recommended), I'd make one and call and request the bar.

Great food, great service & ambience. We loved it! The crab cakes were so very good, whipped feta and a market salad, all really nicely prepared and delicious. We will go again soon!

Great food and fun atmosphere at the bar. Food is freshly made in the tiniest kitchen ever! The chefs work in magic unison in that tiny space. Amazing to watch

We're visiting from out of town and our friends recommended this place. Everything on the menu looked amazing so even though we didn't have reservations for 6 people, we came and waited around 30minutes for a table on a Saturday night (not bad at all!).

Great service and food! Fun little spot in Modesto. Everything was delicious. We don't drink but they also had a large selection of craft beers. They don't setve soda, but we had Pellegrino Blood Orange and lemonade drinks

Called 30mins before arrival with a party of 6, the place was already packed, but they took our reservation. Very cozy place, more big tables outside. Most ppl sit on the bar. Beer and non-alcoholic kombucha were top-tier! They had one guy cooking up INCREDIBLE dishes, every bite is amazing. Perfect dinner, would highly recommend!

Wow! This place has it all, let's start with service. Absolutely perfect, we were greeted & seated immediately. Our server explained all the specials and Chef Ty will let you know the he smokes his own pastrami. Had the pastrami hash and I'm hooked. My wife (vegan) had the vegan hash, it is completely vegan down to the vegan mayo dressing and delicious! Coffee is on point & the atmosphere is perfect. Menu is seasonal so I will definitely be coming back to see what they come up with next.

Great food and service. The menu is on the pricier side for Modesto but I think it was worth it

Came here for the first time tonight. Food and drinks were outstanding. Robi was so friendly and explained a lot of the food to us. A 10/10 experience. Highly recommend the Shrimp, Sangria, Brie, and Cinnamon rolls. The asparagus, whipped feta, and pork belly were also amazing. We will be back!

One of the best restaurants in Modesto. The service and vibe are always great. The food is fresh and creative. It's a great date night spot or fun to go with friends. We've loved everything we've tried. I love that they have mocktails and good n/a beer!

Amazingggggg place! I wish I lived in Modesto because this place is cool, fresh, has great vibes, amazing food, and genuine service. The lady's were so sweet and interacted with us in a genuine way.

Such a great place to brunch! Awesome drinks and tapas as just perfect. Every time I go it's just an awesome vibe from the service to the food! I had the PB&J dessert today get it! You won't be disappointed.

Everything was amazing! I really appreciate the vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. Everything we had was very delicious and the cinnamon roll was a perfect dessert to end the night. Service was quick and friendly and we were checked on multiple times even though the restaurant was busy.

1st time here Amazing Excellent service Our food was over the top Great patio and outdoor seating Plenty of room Very good menu We highly recommend

I've dined here for both dinner and Sunday brunch, and the food is phenomenal. Every bite is a delight, with impeccable flavors and execution. The menu offers a perfect blend of light, fresh dishes and bold, hearty options. Apologies for the lack of photos--I was too busy being knocked back in my seat with every bite enjoying the food!

Excellent small plates of food. The food was exquisite. Superb flavor. Allow plenty of time for your meal as they prepare each plate of food for you. So much of the food is made from scratch. Relax and enjoy the ambience of this unique restaurant. We were a party of six the first time we all ate at Bauhaus and many of us have returned again and again to Bauhaus. The service is unbelievably perfect. The delicious food is always the best part!

We came here and the decide to close 2 hrs early the driveway of there parking lot is horrible scratched my tier rim while going into the parking lot never she'll return waste of time wouldn't recommend it

Laid back, warm atmosphere. Sat in the patio. It's intimate, feels private. Servers are knowledge, super friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Never felt rushed. Server recommend a great wine. We ordered the Bruschetta, Mushroom Al Ajillo, Coconut Curry and cinnamon rolls all 10/10. Food was delicious, so fresh. Definitely trying more next time.

Came in on a Saturday evening and didn't have to wait to be seated. The ambiance was very casual and welcoming. I came with a friend and we decided to share each plate. The wine selection was surprisingly diverse. I had a Syrah from Santa Barbara and a Douro from Portugal. Both were fantastic paired with the mainly red meat courses we ordered. The plating for some items like the batatas, steak, and beef wellington were a disservice to the food. The beef wellington was cooked to a perfect medium rare, but the plating made it look very underwhelming. It was actually our favorite dish for the night. The sauce was great with the steak and the pastry was buttery and flaky. Our lamb was supposed to be medium rare, but it came out almost well done. Surprisingly, it was still very tender and flavorful so I can't really complain about it. Portion sizes were very small, but I think the taste of the food made up for it. This might be one of the best meals I've had in Modesto. I would be careful choosing where to sit in the future though. I sat at the bar, and a lot of the smoke from the cooking was blowing right where my friend and I were sitting. Our eyes were watering by the end of the night and my clothes smelled like smoke. Maybe they need to upgrade the stove range or ventilation where the cooking is done. Outdoor seating would probably be the best, but then you'd lose out with chatting with the wonderful staff at the bar. I will definitely come back for wine and tapas in the future.

Yesterday was my first time here and I have to say it was amazing. The ambiance was really nice, the portions were perfectly sized, the staff was really friendly and attentive and the food was great. I had the beef Wellington, the chimichurri steak, the lamb, the potatoes, and the bone marrow. Every dish was great. And the food wait wasn't too long Which was impressive considering that it was pretty busy. Also, they played great music. 10/10 would go again.

I've had Bauer's 66 1/2 bookmarked ever since I saw them on an episode of DDD. That location has since merged with Bauer's Downtown, but they aren't open on Sundays. Bauhaus, their sister restaurant, popped up on my search, and is open for brunch on Sundays! We toasted to our first trailer-camping trip with the Manmosa ($6) and sangria ($8): Light and refreshing, they'll sneak up on you! I actually got a pretty good buzz off of a single glass, although I am known to be a bit of a lightweight. The cinnamon puff pastry ($6) was the perfect sweet compliment to the savory entrees. So light and flakey! The fusion spin on the pork belly eggs Korean style ($15) worked, although the star of the dish, the pork belly, could have been cooked a bit longer. The pastrami in the pastrami hash and eggs ($15) was uber tender! Plus points for curing and smoking all their meats in house. Service was on point. Super cute patio area in back! Be sure to make reservations, as space is limited due to current COVID restrictions.

Food is incredible and absolutely a great atmosphere they have, just wish the food was slightly bigger to enjoy between at least two people.

Every single dish was unique and delicious. The service was good. I'm glad I got here early. It fills up fast!!

A suggestion from a local and it surpassed expectations! From the photos people thought we were in LA. Unassuming and just delicious. Tapas style, one to two plates at a time. Go enjoy! Our top suggestions: pork belly, the Wellington, pb&j bomb.

Great food, small plates (tapas) are delicious. Nice atmosphere to gather after work for a small bite and drink to wind down. Service is good not. Place to go if you're in a rush, more of a laid back kinda atmosphere.

Great date spot to mix things up. This is a Tapa style place to kick back. The menu is always changing. Step out of your comfort zone and open yourself up to an unique experience. Excellent beer selection and the food is made with top-notch fresh ingredients. Tonight we shared 3 Tapas and the New York Steak special. Passed on the bone marrow tonight but if it's your first time here, it is a must try. The New York Steak wasn't great. A rare miss for this spot. There was no sear and the cut was excessively fatty. The flavor was still good and the berry compote was interesting. Everything else was amazing. The clams were divine. The crab cake was the best I've ever had. Puff pastries are a staple here and their reputation is well deserved. Service is always friendly and welcoming. Thank you for another great date night.

This place has amazing food. They also had nice and kind servers. This place has positive atmosphere all around. I would recommend you go here

Delicious food, great service. Small environment, the vibe is great and friendly people

Excellent gourmet food but service is very slow, like they forget about you and you have to go ask if you need something.

MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN THE AREA! Each plate has it's own array of depth and flavor. There is nothing I haven't tried and didn't love! Each dish, although small, is carefully crafted with a complexity of flavors. Sweet, sour, salty and with just the right amount of acidity. The flavors dance on your tongue and you enjoy a unique food experience unlike anything else in the area. Finally, high-end San Francisco food flavors in Modesto! The ambiance here is great. It's a trendy, very small and intimate restaurant, but it makes you feel as though you're receiving a private dining experience. Literally, a hole in the wall restaurant, but the best one! Highly recommend to all my foodies!

THIS PLACE. I have meaning to update my review for literally over a year. Here I am. The owner takes such pride in this place it is evident via the decor, vibe and foremost the food. Chef Bauer creates tapas concoctions that are full of flavor, beautiful, and always with his personal twist that makes each bite special. The menu is always changing, so snatch each delectable bite as if it were a Pokémon! They usually have a nice variety of drinks such as fresh brewed tea, craft beer, and other refreshments to whet your whistle. The environment is small, and worth it with indoor and a two outdoor options (I love the enclosed darker patio setting). Salud!

Absolutely loved the food, awesome atmosphere, still a small place but pretty cool and waiters/waitresses very nice!!!!

Place was just a little hard for us to find. But so glad we did. Food was delicious. Fresh. The experience Took a little while, but that was intentional. We were there to spend time enjoying good food and company. And we got just that. I will be back for that chimichuri steak

Always a unique experience every time I go! Every dish is prepared to perfection and delivered to your table with love

I was extremely disappointed in my service tonight. This establishment was a go to for me and my boyfriend and tonight we waited an hour to receive my food. When it was brought to the attention to my waitress, they were unapologetic and they were actually quite rude after it. We even had to wait a long time for a check. This has never happened to us before. Everyone is typically so friendly. I am unsure if i want to return if this is the level of customer service they are now providing.
