I loved everything about Modern Steak. I had actually planned on eating at the attached Modern Burger, but I was immediately drawn to Modern Steak once I peeked inside. It's beautiful.
Seariously.
(Though I do have to say it was a bit on the warm side. To Modern Steak management, please note that in Phoenix, in April when its 87 degrees outside, it should not be cooler OUTSIDE than inside. Just sayin')
The front of house staff was very friendly and guided me to the bar with no wait.
Though not the most outgoing, my server was prompt, polite and kept my drinks filled.
I had the kobe burger with fries and their organic green tea and blood and sand martini.
Everything was so good. Even the ketchup that came with the fries was good. I think it was homemade? The burger was full of flavor and nice n juicy. The bacon was the perfect thickness and nice and crispy.
And that blood and sand martini? WOW! Sooooo good! And great presentation too. The martini was $11, but it was really more like 2 (ok maybe 1.75) for that price. My server poured it at my table, but she poured it from this pitcher that had like this compartment packed with ice so the portion that was left over stayed chilled. I actually want one of those pitchers for myself!
The staff was all pleasant and INCREDIBLY good looking.
I did feel a bit under-dressed (well that is until a group of young men came in wearing jean shorts and wife beaters were seated on the patio) and I was wearing an untucked button down, jeans and sneakers.
I have to come back soon because I want to be able to sit outside before it gets hot. And I think next time I will come with a group of people.
