| - Having had memorable meals at Kai, we were thrilled to learn of its former chef joining partnership here at Mod. Signature touches and flair were apparent in the presentation, the food was innovative and some of it was excellent, such as the "shroom" dish. The venison lollipops were too rare for me, but my husband said they were tasty. He also had the pescado loco tar tare, and found it to his liking. I ordered the duck large plate and was disappointed-duck was good, but dish featuring beans, rice, okra, etc. was no better than say one would get at Milagro Grill or The Mission. The okra was unusually salty. A server came to our table with a covered dish and asked if it were ours. We inquired as to to what it was. He didn't know. He had come from the kitchen; not a regular waiter, but totally clueless. I do understand it was Labor Day Weekend and staff may have been not the usual crew. Our waitress was very pleasant, the hostess welcoming, and the others we encountered were attentive. Loud music for a younger crowd was intrusive. I could see going again for appetizers and a cocktail, but would not go back for dinner, considering the myriad of choices available here in the Valley.
