Nestled in a historic building, this trendy spot serves up seasonal American dishes with flair, thanks to a Michelin-trained husband-and-wife duo.
"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
"Modern Bird is the hottest new reservation in Traverse City, opened by Andy Elliott and Emily Stewart who trained in Michelin-starred kitchens. The cheese bread with ranch butter is addictive, and seasonal vegetable-forward dishes like smoked carrots with labneh and spiced almond crunch steal the show."
