Thanks to an enormous pet-friendly patio and pretty good food, Modern Eats has become our get-together place for a group of friends and a couple of pooches! 4 stars overall!
My Top 3 (5-star) food recommendations at Modern Eats:
1) Sirloin Steak and Eggs: I love having steak and eggs for dinner, and I've ordered this menu item a few times at Modern Eats. I always ask for my steak cooked medium. Modern Eats never fails, and the steak has always been tender and flavorful. Love the sirloin steak with eggs over medium. Served with red potatoes and toast, it's a pretty good and hearty portion.
2) Tomato Soup with Toasted Cheese Madness: I usually don't order grilled cheese sandwiches when I go out to eat since they are pretty easy to make at home but Modern Eats makes a really delicious grilled cheese sandwich. You get to choose your bread as well as your cheese. Bread choices include buttermilk, sourdough, jalapeno, and wheat. Cheese choices include cheddar, havarti, mozzarella, swiss, pepper jack, and sharp cheddar. I love spicy food so I always go for the jalapeno bread with the pepper jack. The perfectly grilled sandwich goes perfectly with the tomato soup, which has a yummy, homemade taste.
3) Beer Battered Onion Rings: I'm a big fan of fries, and I rarely order onion rings, but Modern Eats makes one the best onion rings I've ever had. The onion rings are always cooked perfectly crispy, and the beer batter is absolutely delicious. One you have one, you'll easily want a couple more, and sharing them can be hard thing to do.
Food that I wouldn't recommend at Modern Eats (2 stars):
1) Grilled Ahi Salad: Cooked medium rare, the tuna comes with savoy cabbage, roasted bell pepper, carrots, edamame and scallions with a house asian vinaigrette. Although the tuna was okay, this salad just has way too much cabbage. This salad will be so much better with field greens and/or romaine.
2) Buttermilk Pancakes: A couple of friends love and always order the pancakes at Modern Eats everytime we go, but sadly, I'm not a fan. There seems to be too much cinnamon in the batter, and it's unfortunately off-putting to me.
Service at Modern Eats has always been friendly, welcoming, and attentive (5 stars). If you plan on dining with four legged friends, there's a pretty big dog-friendly patio available (5 stars). My group of friends and I, along with a couple of doggies, usually have the entire patio to ourselves when we go for dinner!
