Café Modern

"Husband and I went for Sunday brunch. We got to sit by the water and watch the ducks. The surroundings were peaceful and calm, as you would expect for a museum cafe, with light music in the background. The food was delicious. We ordered the burger and the chilequiles and told our server that we like to share plates. She brought out our food cut in half on separate plates. In all the years we've been sharing, no one has ever done that before. I was delighted at the thoughtfulness and enjoyed the delicious meal in the beautiful atmosphere. Then we walked the museum."

"I went for Sunday brunch and was immensely impressed! Service was impeccable and the food was absolutely decadent! It was unclear on the menu that the Korean fried chicken came with waffles, but I was so pleasantly surprised with the best chicken and waffles I've ever had in life. I also ordered the salad which was light and delicious. My companion ordered the burger and said that it was really good as well. I also like that they serve Acqua Panna which, in my opinion, is the best water, lol :) It was a calm and quiet atmosphere. We sat by the window with a nice view of the water. The icing on the cake was the fact that the museum had free entry on that day, so we were able to walk around and take pictures after our meal. It was a great brunch experience that I highly recommend and would absolutely do again!"

"Went for dinner, our server was nice and attentive, but they mixed up our order with someone else's (which I know isn't the server's fault so I won't dock points for service) and we didn't end up getting our sides until 45 minutes into eating. Most of the food was okay, a little overpriced for what you're getting but it's a fancy restaurant so that's kind of expected. My favorite thing I got was the Mac n cheese, it was actually quite delicious and not too pricey. As a Mac n Cheese connoisseur I approve 100%. I also got the half chicken, which was seasoned nicely but still on the expensive side for what it really is. You have to pay for bread, it is not complimentary. Overall, I would say to give this place a try, but for the same price you could go to a nice steakhouse."

"Arrived at 11 am and basked in the stillness. The bread was outstanding. The French mimosa was also excellent. The quinoa salad and bolognese were a small step above average. We tried the mini pistachio eclair bites with matcha ice cream, the sweet potato creme brulee and the red wine poached pear cobbler with ginger ice cream--each of which was $15. Pro tip--arrive at 11 am because as the restaurant fills up, the noise level goes up"

"I had an amazing time! Great food, atmosphere, and customer service. Very pretty views of the water while you are eating. Definitely recommend!"
