Modern Grove has all the making of a wonderful neighborhood cafe. It's in a great location, has wonderful ambiance, and a fantastic outdoor patio. Unfortunately, it falls short in some critical categories: 1) Food is bland and devoid of character--as if it's from the frozen food section 2) Staff is aloof and unfriendly 3) For their restaurant setup, it takes way too long to be served. (And when they delivered their fried mac n cheese appetizer as an apology, it was more like an insult. If you can't make great mac n' cheese--for the love of god--don't serve it!!
If they added some flavor and inspiration in the food and service, it would make this adorable concept truly stand out!
