I've travelled far and wide, from Michelin starred restaurants to legendary local haunts, and yet nowhere on earth have I had a dining experience as phenomenal as I've had at Bauhaus.The food is as fresh as it is original, often brought in shop the same day from the local farmer's market or a shoreline if looking for seafood, with everything made right for you behind the bar counter in the world's most magical little oven; how they make food ranging from pastrami banh mi sandwiches to honey covered garlic brie pastries is beyond me, but everything - everything - is exceptional.The beer and wine selection is robust with something for everyone, including house made red and white sangrias that feature fresh fruit in the glass. Hard to beat.But, what takes Bauhaus from merely being an excellent place to grab a bite to eat to being truly special are the people that infuse the space with love. Chef Tye and the hostess, Meara, make you feel as welcomed as if you were their closest friends and take care of you equally as well. Laughter and storytelling between patrons and them is a common occurrence and you just can't help but leave with a great big smile on your face, and at the heart of it all, isn't that what it's all about? This place is not to be missed ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The food was delicious. I had the pastrami and my girlfriend had the pork belly. The portions are very small though, so you might need a second plate.

You’re never going to find a place so intimate Like Bauhaus in Modesto. Each bit is full of complex flavors that are unlike any other. This is a hidden gem located in corner of scenic and downtown!

This small local gem has delicious small bites and an excellent selection of craft beer.My favorite dishes are Asparagus topped with Parmesan and Buffalo cauliflower pastry, paired with an Aperol spritzer.Indoor dining and two patios available for outdoor seating.

Before I looked online I had no idea Bauhaus was even there. Come to find out the same owners of this place own Bauer's 66 Downtown on 9th street which I haven’t been to yet either but I’ve heard of.This place is really cool. It’s really small but had a nice vibe. Everyone there was really cool they greeted me like they knew me when I got there and they made great suggestions. I’m on my vegan journey right now but my friend is not. I found this place looking up vegan restaurants that have regular food too and they have some decent vegan options.The chef cooks everything right there behind the bar. I don’t really drink but they have a good beer selection and a decent wine selection. I tried the Mushroom Al ajillo, Roasted Asparagus, the Asparagus pastry and I had an off menu dish that was rice, vegetables and vegan sausage that I can’t remember the name of but was really good. My friend had the Beef Wellington and she liked it.I will definitely be going back here because the vibe is real chill. Thank you for a nice experience.

This place is a cool restaurant to go to! They have a lot of different beers on tap and decent wine selection. The food is stellar. if you sit at the bar you watch your food being made. Everything the chef made looked so good and it made me think I wish I would of ordered that. I look forward to my next visit for sure!

Such a deliciously diverse menu! Cant wait to be back! Such a cozy and sweet patio

Always excellent food but last time it took soo long to get to us that we could almost get up and walk out

The best pork belly in this area by far!! Food is very unique and delicious!

It's pretty amazing what this place can do with barely a kitchen to work with. Excellent food. Great service.
