This is a very professional and friendly place. Me and my family of nine had dinner for my niece bday. From the time we arrived until the time we left, all the staff was veer professional, friendly polite. The food and drinks were awesome. I would recommend this restaurant for couples or family gathering. I wish this restaurant much success in there future businesses.

Amazing food, amazing staff and an incredible owner. It is always a pleasure when my family and I go to dine there. Comfortable ambiance a place we will continue to go to for years to come. Thank you for your hospitality Modern.

My family and I order frequently and the food is always amazing, the portions are terrific and the staff is always polite and friendly regardless of delivery or pick up, but tonight was an exceptionally good experience, the order came and I gave him the money and a tip and not 8 minutes later there was a knock on the door, it was our delivery driver and he was holding a hundred dollar bill in his hand and said to me, I’m not sure that you realize that you gave me way too much, I kindly thanked him, I just want to say thank you for being so honest and that the owners should be proud of this young man and I wanted them and everyone to know , thank you again!

I have to be brutally honest Here. I went to this restaurant for my birthday I chose it myself Based on the reviews, but the 4 stars reviews are not a reflection of what I experienced. First off the Valet was on point and we were all seated pretty promptly once we arrived . The 1st impression once we sat down was Not good. So the the man that brought our water placed it on the table did not make any eye contact did not say a word and walked off. Then someone came over and brought bread said absolutely nothing put it down on the table and walked off no hello how are you absolutely nothing. I have never experienced this in a restaurant before it was very rude. The waitress finally came over and she was a breath of fresh air very pleasant but didn't know much about the food or the wine list. She couldn't make any suggestions about the menu when asked. A couple of us had chicken Francese and some had salmon the food was not good no flavor pasta not done right I have never had such bad chicken Francese seriously lacking... So was the salmon very bland. Besides the food being a poor Representation of Italian food they they charge 3% if fee if you use a credit card to buy dinner...I've been to a lot of restaurants and I have not heard of this? Is this something new ?it's crazy who walks around with a load of cash to purchase dinner ?most people use credit card to purchase their dinners. So taxes ,tip and now you want to charge people for using a credit card.From the outside this place looks really nice but the ambiance inside is not flattering it's just something grim about the place I don't like the lighting. But that's just me. Definitely will not return here I'll stick to Pelham or White Plains for great Italian restaurants and of course The Bronx.

Coming from Brooklyn there was the famous Carolina's in Coney Island. Best damn red sauce around and now it lives at the MODERN. YUMMMMMMMMMMMM

This was my first time to this restaurant and being new to New Rochelle, I plan on going back. The food and drinks were delicious! It is a great spot for lunch.

Great spot, excellent food, I had truffle chicken with linguine and super Tuscan red wine , started with old fashioned..all excellent! Ambience is great, staff is warm and friendly as well as attentive. Highly recommend ?

We hadn't been back to The Modern since Thomas Allan took over two years ago. What a transformation! The food has markedly improved, certainly worthy of its Michelin stars and on the way to a third. Out six course pre fixe was wonderful. Not a single complain from the three of us. There were a lot of oohs and aahs. The egg dish was superb, the many fish dishes and duck all reached levels of perfection. The amuse bouche and desserts and chocolates were equally exceptional. Service was excellent. The atmosphere seemed to have improved and was more relaxed with a focus on the views from the large windows.

Food was mediocre for the price. Scallops were soft and tender but when they got in front of me at the table and smelled fishy. Appetizers were okay. Antipasto was decent. The meats on the cold one tasted like they’ve been out all day. The mussels in red sauce didn’t have a lot of flavor to them. All in all, I feel like it was a little pricy for the quality of the food.

Above average everything. Large spacious dining environment. If you don’t mind a smaller venue Da Georgio on Quaker Ridge has much better food it’s just small. Modern will still be my go to for pizza but entrees, the New Ro Italian food crown has been passed to the hidden gem.
