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 🍸

The girls and I needed a change to our typical Tuesday night girl's night, therefore we decided to take advantage of Modern Plate's Girl's night special. Typically a $35 3-small plate meal, turned into appetizers, drinks and the girl's night special. Our waitress, Amber, was really attentive, friendly, and made our experience all that much better. Looking forward to our next visit to Modern Plate.
Response from the owner:Vanessa, thank you so much for sharing this! We love that you switched things up for your Tuesday girls’ night with us, that’s exactly what our Girls Night special is all about. We’re so glad you enjoyed the food (great picks with the Bacon Wrapped Dates and Crispy Calamari!) and that Amber made your night even better with her attentive and friendly service. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. Can’t wait to have you and the girls back for another night out soon! 💕🍸

Wonderful place, amazing music! One of the first experiences I've had at a "Modern American" restaurant where I didn't feel ripped off. The drinks were delicious and strong, the food was reasonably priced and delicious!! Better Cuban sandwhich than the one I had in Miami. Kristina and manager Jason took great care of us. WILL RETURN!
Response from the owner:Zach, thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience, from the food and drinks to the music and overall vibe. That Cuban sandwich compliment means a lot 🔥 and we’re glad everything felt both delicious and worth it. Kristina and Jason will really appreciate the shoutout, they always go above and beyond to take care of our guests. We truly appreciate your support and can’t wait to have you back at Modern Plate again soon!

A consistently fantastic experience at Modern Plate

Modern Plate never disappoints. The food is always delicious, creative, and clearly made with high‑quality ingredients. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted, and the prices are more than fair for the level of care and flavor they deliver.

On my recent visit, the bar team Iwona and Amanda were outstanding. Even on a busy night with a high volume of orders, they stayed attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient. The drinks were made well, balanced, and consistent, and you could see how hard they were working to keep everything flowing smoothly.

Great food, great service, and great people. Modern Plate continues to be one of the best dining experiences around.
Response from the owner:Travis, thank you so much for the incredible review and continued support, it truly means a lot to us. We’re thrilled to hear that Modern Plate continues to deliver a consistently great experience. Your kind words about the food, creativity, and quality of ingredients are exactly what our team strives for every day. Iwona and Amanda will be especially appreciative of the shoutout. They work hard to keep things running smoothly, even on the busiest nights, and it’s great to hear their service and attention stood out. We’re grateful for your support and are honored to be one of your go-to dining spots. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon!
