| - This place is so pretty... if you want to eat in a pretty atmosphere whether night or day, Modern Steak delivers. I felt like I was eating on a tier of wedding cake its so pretty. And the toilet room feels like you've stepped into a airplane restroom--Vacant/Occupied lock--and into a foil wrapped candy. Also, I LOVED the music they were playing... nearly all of the music played was as if they went into my iTunes and played choice cuts. Music is definitely a love of mine so it definitely made the experience even more lovely.
Don't be surprised, as it's really pricey, but my style of eating is sharing, which got me and my friend 3 apps, a drink, 2 teas and a dessert for $59... not bad considering their entrees can go from $15 for a burger to $62 for a Wagyu steak... I know Wagyu is above Kobe, but damn! And then another $8 for a side? Ouch. But work it with a family style/tapas attitude and you too can enjoy without creating MAJOR holes in your wallet. Seriously, the appetizer portions are generous... I ended up taking leftovers of every dish... which were:
Crispy Shrimp: Probably my favorite dish so far, but I wish the dipping sauce was more interesting.
Asparagus Prociutto Pizza: I really loved the asparagus bits on the pizza!
Parmesan Truffle Oil Fries: I think this was the first time I had anything flavored with Truffles and I have to say, not a fan. But they were edible.
Apple filled doughnut dessert: Just okay. The Apple consistency was thick... wasn't feeling it.
My friend liked her Pimms Cocktail. And I've heard good things about a drink fittingly called Retail Therapy that I'll try the next time I find myself at Fashion square and feeling the need to drink my I-really-shouldn't-have bought-that-but-oh-well woes away!
The wait staff look quite sharp in their outfits, and were very knowledgeable on the menu items. Our waiter sort of dropped out on us but he's lucky I'm lax when it comes to service... because I enjoy chatting in between bites with my friend that I don't really notice until waiting for the bill commences. One thing that did slightly irk me was that he wouldn't give his personal favorites... only saying he'd help after we pared down our choices and what was flying out of the kitchen. I really wanted to know what his favorites were so that was mildly disconcerting.
Next time I go I'm definitely going in the daytime, with the white and blue decor I'm sure it will feel light and airy! So I guess to sum this review up: So far the foods okay and I am really won over by the ambiance. After repeat visits, we'll see if the star rating changes. So Modern Steak, I'm on the fence, but rooting for you (aka High up the fence, but not quite over)!
