What a hidden gem! Ample parking and a beautiful space. Who would've known there's a great spot in this business area? Service was awesome! And everyone was very friendlThe drink menu was so diverse and they even have large batch cocktails to go. The food menu has something for everyone. I liked that there was breakfast and pastries along with lunch items.We got two bloody Mary's, a cold brew, salad, soup, burger and sandwich. Which came out to about $80ish before tips. Everything was so good! I want to go back to try more.

Came here one Friday after work with several co workers. Small restaurant with ample parking. Small and intimate restaurant. Modern decor is nice. Service and food was even better. For drinks, I ordered their Lavender Lemon Drop. It was very good and actually refreshing. My colleague mentioned they make their own lavender (don't quote me on that) and it definitely is good and refreshing. They have a lavender lemonade which I plan on ordering when opting for a non alcohol drink. For food, we ordered appetizers for the table: hummus, pepperoni and sausage flat bread [probably the best flat bread I ever had and it was devoured before I took a picture], chicken lettuces wraps, and spinach and artichoke dip. Everything was good! Service, food, and ambiance was on point. Would definitely return.

I went here for lunch on my birthday, and it was the best! Casual atmosphere, but still nice ambience with the decor. It gets the busiest around 12:30-1:30, but even then there isn't much of a wait, if any. The food was delicious (we had the mushroom quiche and the club sandwich), but the real star was the espresso martini! I don't even like vodka, but that was the best drink I've had in a while. Will definitely be back to try their happy hour!Also, as a strange coincidence, it was the owner's birthday as well and we were seated right under a table with a "Happy Birthday" banner! Our l server was so sweet too in celebrating my birthday. A great experience all around!

They have a new happy hour setup! It's now up in their huge third floor special events space, Wed - Fri from 4-7. It's big and beautiful, with all the same food, drinks, and service you love, and open an hour later. The original smaller first floor space is still open for breakfast and lunch until 3pm.

This place is easy to miss if you're speeding down Spring Street, as I often am when dropping and picking up my kids from one activity to the next. I'm glad I finally made the time to stop by. I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the cozy and inviting ambiance. Whether you're looking for place to have a business or work lunch or a bite with a friend, the Modern is a great choice. I had the arugula blueberry salad with chicken. The arugula's distinct taste was balanced by the subtleness of the blueberries, almonds, and lemon honey vinaigrette dressing. It was filling and satisfying. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. I will definitely be back.

My partner and I discovered this place last year during a special Cinco de Mayo event. Due to our work schedules, we hadn't had the chance to stop by to try their regular menu, but it finally worked out. There's an option for indoor our outdoor dining, and the inside is wonderfully decorated with a modern taste (get it? lol). The service is outstanding! The menu has options for people with a variety of different preferences or needs. The drink menu is plentiful, and has amazing options - try the Grilled Pineapple & Jalapeno Mezcal Margarita. We started off with the chicken hatch chilli dip, which was a great portion filled of deliciousness!! Their chicken pot pie, patty melt, and green salads were also impressive, and I would have again anyway!! My favorite was their pastries that I cannot get enough off!!!! We were both very impressed with the Modern Kitchen + Bar, and we cannot wait to return!

This place is truly a little gem in Long Beach. Such a wide selection of Wines and Whiskey! Oh and you must try their freshly baked pastries and croissants! Some of the best I've had! The other food dishes are excellent too!The service is always great by the waitresses and bartenders!They even have outdoor seating for those nice days ahead!

I honestly have lived in Long Beach most of my life and never knew this place insisted. It's so hidden, cute, modern and discreet. So glad i stumbled upon it via Yelp. Met a girl friend here for lunch and we really enjoyed everything we ordered. We also had an argula salad with cheese on the side because I'm vegan. Service was ok.. i think we both wish the waitress would have let us know that the tea post is big enough for two ppl to share. My only other complaint is I'm 2023 a charcuterie board should be me somewhat customizable to meet the needs of those that don't eat meet.. the hummus platter Was delicious as well and we both left satisfied. I believe the bill was like $60 including a tip so prices here are great like perfect price point for a lunch date. Can't wait to go back.
