Had breakfast my bartender was Amanda S. She greeted me right away and was very quick to get my beer/s. I wanted to try something new and she recommended the salmon toast. I added avocado and 2 sunny side up eggs. It’s was a dream! The cook brought it out. She made me coffee to go since I was in a rush. Check out was fast. Everything was perfect, host, busser, bartender even the manager checked in on me. Would highly recommended everything about this restaurant. Thanks !
Went in for lunch and had the power grain salad with wine. Deliciousness! Our waitress was Amanda who was very busy for a Monday. Our food was delivered very fast by the chef. It was great and the staff worked as a team to make ur experience amazing! Amanda was so fast and attentive. Definitely will return! Thanks modern plate staff!

I don’t write reviews often, but Sophia absolutely deserves one.
From the moment we walked in, it was clear this place is being led by someone special. Sophia is the kind of manager you rarely come across — young, approachable, and genuinely passionate about what she does, yet carrying herself with the quiet confidence of someone who’s been doing this for decades.
We grabbed seats at the bar and were lucky enough to try her newest cocktail creation, the Greek Dirty Martini, and wow — it is a showstopper. A brilliant, creative twist on a classic that somehow feels both bold and perfectly balanced. It’s already my new go-to, and honestly reason enough to come back.
But what really sets Sophia apart is how she makes every guest feel seen. She came over to us at the bar, asked about our experience, and actually listened. No script, no rush — just genuine care. You can feel her energy ripple through the entire staff too; the team is warm, attentive, and clearly inspired by her example.
Sophia is the real deal. Remember her name — because she’s going places. This spot is lucky to have her, and we’ll absolutely be back.
Response from the owner:Matthew, this is incredible. Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. Sophia is truly something special, and you captured exactly what we’re all about at Modern Plate. Her passion, creativity, and genuine care for every guest make a huge impact, and we’re lucky to have her leading the way. We’ll absolutely be sharing your kind words with her, it’ll mean a lot. Also… that Greek Dirty Martini has been getting some serious love lately, and we’re glad you got to experience it firsthand. Sounds like you’ve officially found your new go-to. We can’t wait to have you back again soon for another great night at the bar. Cheers 🍸
