We arrived early for our reservation but were seated immediately! 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 came for Christmas Eve dinner and had our favorite server, Stephen, who provided us with excellent service, making for a very special celebratory meal. 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.

As good as the food was and as inviting as the ambience is, they didnt come close to the excellence of the entire staff. 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.

As always, we thoroughly enjoy going to "Modern." We ate outside on a lovely patio, with heaters. The food is exactly what I expect...............the variety and preparation of the oysters is perfect, which is my favorite there. What can I say.... this is a favorite restaurant in the Scottsdale area................value for money.......and service to match.
