| - Quality food at reasonable prices with a pleasurable indoor and outdoor dining area makes Modern Grove a wonderful neighborhood spot. If you ever lived in a New York/Chicago city neighborhood, Modern Grove is a lot like the little place around the corner that your family would walk to, buy a meal, and maybe a snack or drink for later.
For lunch, the restaurant acts as a semi-service cafeteria-like restaurant. Order your food at the counter, get a number, and somebody will bring it to you. There is also a market near the counter, where you can get a lot of bottles of wines, beers, and unique sodas.
There were two only two things about Modern Grove that really bugged me.
1. The menu board at the counter is incomplete.
If you look around the restaurant there are other sandwiches and foods you can order. Being a first-timer, I completely missed it. If anything on those boards were something that would have interested me more than the panini I ordered, I guess I would've been SOL.
2. No one bussed our plates.
I know Modern Grove isn't full service for lunch, but I didn't see any spot for us to get rid of our dirty plates. We weren't in a rush to leave and they sat on our table the entire time. Not one employee stopped by to ask if they could clear the table.
