OK so I live walking distance from Fashion Square mall and have passed by Modern Steak the last two weeks before it was actually opened. I got to see the incredibly AMAZING decor and instantly fell in love based on that and was dying to try it. Lucky for me I had a special occasion this week - my husband's b-day and a reason to go.
The food:
Delicious! I had the roasted beet salad with pistachios - amazing fresh, light, perfect! I also had the chilean seabass with miso sauce and mushrooms - flavorful, light and flakey magnifiqu! For dessert the chocolate tort with ice cream... comes piping hot and is heavenly.
My hubs had the chopped salad and a NY strip steak. He enjoyed it but I'm not sure if as much as I did my dish. Also he is allergic to dairy and since they didn't have any dairy -free desserts on the menu they actually offered him a free dessert wine and put together a berry dish for him. They also mentioned that they will re-evaluate the menu to offer some dairy-free options. Nice! A solid review from him!
The service:
fabulous! the wait staff was attentive, kind and very accommodating. We started out with a party of two at a cozy back booth and ended up with TEN people as our friends came to join. The waiter was totally cool with us taking over the area and added chairs... it was great. Of course they are trying hard since they just opened on Monday. I really hope they keep it up.
The Decor:
For me - soul stirring! I LOVE the design of the space and felt inspired sitting in there for the evening.
All in all a great experience :)
