This restaurant is delicious. The old menu was great, and the new menu is phenomenal. We always come here when we want a fantastic night out. The Yia Yia’s wings are mouth-watering. The American burger and the sliders are a go-to, and the pot roast dip is delicious. The smores dessert is the best dessert in town. All of the staff is friendly and good at their jobs.

First and foremost the cocktails at Modern Plate are fire. Every one I’ve had (and I’ve had a bunch), have been fantastic. I’m a stickler for old fashioneds, and their T & T Old Fashioned is great. You also HAVE TO try the Chicken Tinga Rolls. The apps alone here are worth coming. I’m a big fan of Modern Plate.

I can't remember how I learned of this place, it may have been an ad on Facebook. When I walked in, I wasn't 100% sure they actually do breakfast because their entire dining area and outdoor patio combined, only had one customer. Definitely is a very swanky dining room. Complete with cloth napkins, and a snazzy interior. Felt bad for my server since there was no other tables for her. They actually had two servers on staff. Looking over the menu, which apparently changes from time to time, I was a little taken back by the prices. I went with a skillet and was disappointed when I learned they serve the potatoes in whole form. They are those little dainty potatoes, but I certainly prefer real hashbrowns. Even the places that serve you diced potatoes offer more flavor. I almost was gonna pull all the potatoes out and ask for some butter and sour cream. The range of meats they had in the meat sweats skillet all seem to be a little dried out, especially the pork belly. For some reason, they only serve you one piece of toast, but that wasn't such a big deal. I was kind of bummed that the over easy eggs had no ooze to them. I did enjoy the coffee and again the service was top-notch. I can only assume they must do a much brisk lunch and dinner. When it was getting time to leave, for some reason, they set a table of five directly next to me. I found that comical since there was probably 40 other tables in the place that had no one at it. There was one other couple of ladies that had arrived and was sitting on the patio. For $30 dollars with tip I definitely felt it was overpriced.

Pork Belly to die for !! Best thing we have eaten in quite a while. Only tiny complaint is they took our food to pack a little too quick while we were still eating. But definitely will be coming back.
