Hello, Harvest: Fall Flavors Land at Modern Plate 🍂

As the temps dip and the sweaters come out, Modern Plate is leaning into the flavors we all crave: cozy, comforting, and just a little bit indulgent. From brunch to dinner (and every snackable moment in between), our fall lineup is here to make the season extra delicious.

What’s New (and Crave-Worthy)

🍏 Apple Pie French Toast

Thick-cut apple bread, caramel-sautéed apples, toasted pecans, and a cloud of Chantilly cream. It’s the bite that tastes like a perfect fall morning.

🧀 Short Rib Grilled Cheese

Slow-braised short rib tucked into grilled sourdough with melty Havarti and caramelized onions, finished with a balsamic whisper. Comfort food, leveled up.

🍕 Pot Roast Flatbread

Monterey Jack, caramelized onions, shaved Parm, and a drizzle of balsamic over tender pot roast—share it or call it dinner. We won’t judge.

🥩 Ribeye Steak Sandwich

10oz ribeye, peppers, onions, Havarti, and garlic aioli on grilled ciabatta. Big flavor, bigger smiles.

🍝 Cozy Pastas & Hearty Mains

Settle in with Rigatoni alla Vodka, Tuscan Tortellini (garlic-Parmesan cream with spinach & sundried tomato), or go classic with our Ribeye Steak Au Poivre and Short Rib Risotto for a night that lingers.

Sips That Feel Like a Sweater

  • T & T Old Fashioned – bourbon, bitters, orange: the ideal companion for Pot Roast Flatbread or Ribeye.

  • Blackberry Bourbon Smash – a fruit-forward welcome to fall (try it with Short Rib Grilled Cheese).

  • Salted Caramel Espresso Martini – dessert meets nightcap; say no more.

P.S. Wine Days are every Monday & Tuesday½ off bottles $70 or less. Start with Pinot Noir for the Short RibGrilled Cheese or Cabernet alongside the Ribeye Sandwich.

Weekday Wins You’ll Love

  • Lunch Special (Mon–Fri, 11:30–2): $4 OFF flatbreads, handhelds & salads—fast, fresh, and routine-friendly.

  • Happy Hour (Mon–Fri, 3–6): $5 drafts, $3 OFF mixed drinks & wine by the glass, plus shareable bites.

Make It a Fall Ritual

Whether you’re easing into brunch, catching a quick lunch, or settling in for a long, cozy dinner, Modern Plate has your fall flavors covered. Reserve your table, or swing by the bar and let our team pair your plate with the perfect pour.
