Ed McMurray
Rachel our bartender was outstanding. Very attentive, but more importantly, very personable. Jason the owner and the face in the front of the house is great. Makes a point to approach every table and talk with them. And the food is fantastic! A great place to have a drink and finger food or sit down for a great meal. I highly recommend Modern Plate for any occasion!

I've been here several times have never been disappointed honestly surprising the rating isn't higher, services top notch The food is top notch prices are reasonable also have a great selection of drinks this is the absolute perfect place for guys to bring a first date as well being that the menu because lots of pasta options and the inside dining area is really upbeat with cool music.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Ryan, for the kind words and for being a repeat guest, that truly means a lot to us. We’re thrilled to hear you’ve consistently had great experiences with our service, food, and drink selection. Knowing you enjoy the upbeat vibe, music, and our pasta-forward menu is exactly what we aim for. We really appreciate you recommending Modern Plate as a great first-date spot too, that’s high praise. Thanks again for the support, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

I came it with a group of 8 guys last Sunday. We reserved well ahead. Our large table was ready for us, an extra guy joined us, no problem, they just slid an extra table over. Service was friendly and efficient. Special requests were no problem and we took good care of her too, The menu is diverse with plenty of selections in including an excellent brunch menu that a few of the guys ordered. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Drinks were good too. The guys complimented me on my choice of restaurant. We will be back. We found our Elmhurst spot when we're in the area. Forget about street parking, Use the free parking garage behind the building and the rear entrance.
Response from the owner:Thank you Ralph, for choosing Modern Plate and for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re glad everything went smoothly for your group, from having the table ready to easily accommodating an extra guest. It’s great to hear our team made special requests easy and provided friendly, efficient service. We love that your group enjoyed the variety on the menu, including brunch options, and that the drinks were a hit too. Hearing that your friends complimented you on the restaurant choice is a huge compliment to us. Thanks as well for the helpful parking tip for future guests. We’re excited to be your go-to Elmhurst spot and look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

We went to Modern Plate for dinner on New Year’s Eve. We had great food and our waitress was busy but treated us very kindly. Thanks, Holly!

We went in on what seemed like a busy Friday night. Service was amazing and food and drinks were 10/10. We sat at the bar and Amanda and Autumn took excellent care of us! We will absolutely be back!

This was our first meal at Modern Plate. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas beautifully. Server was very helpful and attentive. The food was delicious and there was lots of it. Go check it out in downtown Elmhurst.

I have visited this place a few times now and must say it is always great. Had my wife's b-day celebration here and it was the best decision we could have made. Set up bar tab for my guests and the service was top notch and they kept us updated on the amount we were at when getting to the limit we set. Food is good and apps were served for each table and enjoyed by all.
We tried the sliders, flatbread, chicken skewers, burgers, and calamari, and for desert lava cake. Recommend it all. For drinks we had old fashioned, espresso martini, long island, and cosmos. Again, all good and recommended.
Thank you to the staff and manager for making our visits very enjoyable. See you again soon.
