Overall, the food was very good and cooked to perfection. Our party ordered the Oyster Sampler, the grilled shrimp cocktail (a bit different but delicious), the salmon platter and two filet mignons. I subbed regular fries for my baked potato and it was difficult not to eat all of the generous portion on my plate. For.service, it was lacking just a bit, but perhaps it was just a lack of staffing as our waiter was very friendly and made no mistakes. The wait time in between seeing him or any other server was a bit too long for an establishment with these prices and perceived class of restaurant. Overall it was a lovely meal with family on Christmas Eve though, thank you.

We had a cheese platter with charcuterie and a lovely bottle of wine. For dinner we enjoyed a center cut filet with Oscar sauce, absolutely amazing. We also had the surf and turf and Stephen recommended the lobster deep fried, a first for us, and it was so good and the NY Strip was prepared perfectly and seasoned deliciously. Key Lime Pie to go, and if you have never come here and are thinking of one of the well known steak houses around N. Scottsdale, we highly encourage you to stop in. Also, the ambience here is cozy and the bar area is where we like to be seated. So glad we came here for a wonderful dinner.

We went there for Thanksgiving 2 years ago and were pleasantly surprised with the menu and attentive staff. We’ve now become regulars. Alec and Liam are among the best bartenders in the east valley/north valley (Oscar and Doug as well as Adam respectively at their joints are right there)! Cant say enough good things about Modern!

I haven’t seen a staff this professional, efficient, courteous and friendly as the staff was tonight in a long, long time. They all take their craft seriously and it shows. A ppor staff will cause you not to return but a great staff will insure that you will return. Whenever we come back to Scottsdale, Modern will be our first stop for dinner.
