    Celebrating my mom’s 102nd birthday! Wait staff and hostess were all so attentive and patient. We had plenty of time to visit without being rushed. Food was fantastic.

    Great lunch especially if you are in the art museum district of Fort Worth. We sat outside by the reflecting pool. It was lovely and our server was terrific.

    Noise was an impediment to discussion. Anything you can do to dampen it? Textiles on reflective walls?

    We were disappointed both the pear salad and the sandwich were unavailable. Service was great and we enjoyed our time today.

    Very pretty spot for lunch, and the food is good. It has gotten noticeably more expensive since just a couple years ago, and portions are small. Best for birthdays or other special occasion.

    Another lovely meal with beautiful delicious food in a beautiful setting. This is always an enjoyable place to visit and a must for anyone who has never been. My parsnip soup was so good! The salads are always fresh and delicious. But I have yet to have anything I don’t want to order again.

    We visited with friends at Cafe Modern and had a delightful time. The food was scrumptious! We loved our scallops! They were mouth watering! Our server, Regina was professional, attentive, and charming. The bartender did a terrific job with all of our cocktails. I wish I knew their name(s). The ambiance was warm & romantic. The entire experience was marvelous and we can’t wait to go back.

    I love the fall menu and enjoyed the autumn grilled cheese sandwich with salad. The flavors were wonderful and I'd be delighted to have that again before the menu changes.
