Modern Steak had a pretty reasonable Big Taste menu so we paid them a visit one Saturday evening.\n\nMenu from the outside. The inside is very high end, fancy; what I didn't expect was it to have two floors! Pretty slick. Dimming of the lights makes it perfect for date night, although hope you've got a fat wallet.\n\nIt's a nice touch that they come to your table and let you choose your own personal steak knife! My sis and I settled on the Big Taste menu while O went off menu as he is picky when it comes to his steaks.\n\n- Truffle popcorn - these come out complimentary. Addictively good. Wish they brought out another bowl.\n- Oysters ($45.00 for dozen) - comes with the usual mignonette, lemon and horseradish accompaniments. Above average but I would wait and come on a Thursday for their buck a shuck.\n- Sauteed cremini mushrooms ($11.00) - these were flavourful and went well as an additional side to O's steak. Definitely overpriced though.\n- Oversized potato - didn't try any but the oversized potato was bigger than the steak on the plate!\n- Filet ($54.00 for 7oz) - this looked really small. Steaks are always pricey and MS has a huge range of them. At least you get one side included.\n\nBig Taste dinner ($35.00 for three courses)\n- Prawn bong - not bad as a starter but we enjoyed the popcorn more than this.\n- Brant Lake wagyu - 6 oz sirloin was the perfect size for my sis and I. Steak was cooked to a nice medium rare as we asked for.\n- Chocolate mousse cake - the dessert didn't look like much but it was smooth and decadent. The raspberry coulis helped bring a touch of sweetness.\n\nTo me, this seems like a special occasion/business meeting spot unless you're a die hard steak eater."^^ . . "0"^^ . .
