I've been to Modern Steak a few times for dinner/conference meetings and have always enjoyed the food, but I had just gone there recently to celebrate a friends birthday and got to experience sitting in the dining room for the first time.
It's very trendy and upscale in the dining room. We were there late on a Sunday night, so it was very quiet and serene, which I really enjoyed.
The service was EXCELLENT from beginning to end.
The Crab appetizer, served with buttery toasted bread and drowned in butter is HEAVENLY!!! It's EXTREMELY rich and filling by itself.
I ordered the 14 oz New York Strip, my friend had the filet, and we ordered sides of the Mac n' Cheese and mushrooms. Every ounce of every bite was a delicious experience. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were pretty big for two people- so thank goodness for taking stuff home!
The waiter was delightful and brought my friend a beautifully executed chocolate mousse dessert with ice cream for her birthday. We were so full from our meal that we couldn't eat more than a few bites, but we were sooo very happy!!
I'm not a huge fan of the overly frilly/lacy fancy decor, but the food and service won me over, hands down!
