Was looking for an art show I saw here last year along with dinner. Unfortunately the art show is at another place this year but very happy I found this place and will be returning. Food was very good!

What happened to Modis? It used to be good food and great service. The last couple of experiments have been disappointing. My friends and I showed up for happy hour and they said their chef was late and they would open in an hour is so. We went somewhere else. Today my family and I went for happy hour/dinner. There was one other group of 4 there, it took 40 minutes to get our food. The mussels were rubbery the bread was stale, the ribeye was over cooked and the chicken strips were over cooked. I will not be back.
Opentable Diner
I made a reservation for a Friday night at 7pm. When I arrived, the restaurant was closed for a private event. 0/10. Probably won't be back.

Great Location Downtown. Really great artwork and ambience. The staff just amazing one on one service. I always apricate when the person tacking our order sits down with us and answers question and guides us to have an amazing dining experience which we did. I had the Ribeye that I shared with my wife. We've never had a better ribeye. the large portion and quality very modest price, I think. every bite savored including next day leftovers. The cheesecake amazing. There was an onion soup that we just did not care for and we felt very comfortable to let them know. They took it off the final bill. We were only in Denver for a week so glad this place was recommended to us. Next time in town we will most certainly stop by. Highly recommend Modis in the City for a wonderful dining experience
I saw some bad reviews on Modi's but decided to ignore them as the building itself looks amazing. This is a warning, DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. We went for the first time for Valentines Day. When we got there, a no older than 10-year old girl was at the host desk. It took 3 workers asking if we had a reservation (we did and arrived on time) and 15 minutes to get sat even though there was max 4 tables sat and every other table was open. They just asked for reservation, would walk away and not come back. After we were finally sat we were disappointed that the table had nothing on it to celebrate the day. Not even a candle. But that's not a big deal to me. 3 servers seemed to cover 8 tables. But it still took 20 minutes for anyone to ask us for drinks and it happened to be the bartender who came over for “relief”. This restaurant was not busy at all! I'll save the details but every stage of the eating/drinking process took minimum of 20 minutes. The app came out at the same time as the meal but was extremely cold. We asked them to take it back but they ignored our request several times and kept it on the bill vs taking off or replacing the app. My girlfriend went up to the owner to ask to close the window (it's cold in denver in February) to which he replied “can you leave me alone?!”. He did turn around and realize it was a guest vs his 10-year old daughter who was still at the restaurant. He apologized but walked off and it was just weird overall. The food was just ok but to be fair I knew this going in. I've never written a negative review but after this miserable dining experience on a day where restaurants really should shine, I need to warn everyone about this horrible place.

My wife and I enjoyed a great Friday night dinner at Modis especially the mystery of a non-published menu. The BOGO happy hour was amazing and Kyle did a great job as our server explaining dishes and taking great care of us. We had a nice seat by the fireplace and am excited to keep going back...especially when weather breaks to dine outside. Thank you and highly recommended!

Went to dinner for NYE and unfortunately the restaurant was super short staffed so service wasn’t great but I really appreciate those workers that did show up, just wished they would have stopped seating more guests and focused on serving the ones that were already there. Atmosphere was amazing and the carbonara was delicious. Hope to visit again in the future with a better experience!

It’s unfortunate but the kitchen/bar has changed here. Menu was very basic and the flavors were bland on every dish. When they opened I had several great meals but the most recent meal in dec 2022 was not great. Chicken Marsala had too much vinegar/wine and the calamari steak was way overcooked. Everything was semi edible so 2 stars not 1

I really want to see this place succeed. The food was really good. We started with the fries and I got the stuffed bell pepper as my main. Both were delicious. We also got a bottle of champagne that was delightful.Unfortunately this place was so understaffed on NYE that we got sat half an hour late. It was another half an hour before waters even show up on our table. The cook staff also seemed overwhelmed as they undercooked my friend’s chicken dish.The staff was super friendly and nice and tried their very hardest to give everyone the attention they need. They also comp’ed my friend’s dish and an order of fries which was nice.I am hoping to return when it isn’t as chaotic of a night and I can truly experience everything Modis has to offer.

Very obviously understaffed for new years and drinks / food were subpar and small portioned for the price. Due to a 45 min wait to even get our first drink they did comp the round, which was appreciated.
Let me start by saying that I really want to love this place. I love their Breckinridge location but this one in Denver is not good. I've been several times for happy hour and that has been fine. Have gone twice for dinner and both times have been disappointing. Had reservations for New Years and boy did they fall short. First of all, what fine dining restaurant doesn't have a wine list? I was told that the wee is a basic red or white... which would I like? My husband asked for the beer list and we were told they had no beer (although it was on the menu) because they had distributor problems. What restaurant on New Years Eve wouldn't run out to the grocery store and buy some beer? Had the muscles for an appetizer and they were tasty, but did not come with toast points and their usual muscle appetizer does. Then the worst part of this is the entree. I ordered the NYE special pork chop with chimichuri sauce. The pork chop was RAW. I called over a manager and showed him and he told me it was “medium rare!” Since when does pork come in medium rare? He took it away and offered nothing- no fix, no removal I'm from the bill, nada. After my husband finished his salmon (which he said was good) we received a “free bread pudding”. It was tasty, but really? That's how you compensate for a raw entree that cost $38? My guess is this place will be closed up for the new year. Just couldn't get their act together. Makes me never want to go to their Breck location if this is how they treat their customers

Unbelievable!!! How have I not been here before. Everything was great from the ahi tuna wrap to the lamp loli - one of the best dishes I’ve had in years. Dogs are allowed on the patio and the waitstaff is great! The owner came by and was so nice. You get the vibe everybody really likes working there and it comes out in the experience of eating there. Will be back soon!!!

Lovely experience all around! Beautiful inside seating, and the patio was perfect (and dog friendly.) We ordered cauliflower wings, ahi tuna wraps, fish and chips, and lamb lollies. The lamb was one of the best I've ever had! Drinks were also delicious with generous pours. To top it off, one of the owners chatted with us about our experience and made us feel so welcomed. We will be back 100%.

Went here for Happy Hour and stayed for the party downstairs. Came in last Friday with friends to have a few drinks and Apps. The Bison Short Rib and Duck and Watermelon Slap. Ended up going downstairs after to check out their other bar Luci's and had some awesome cocktails in cool comfy chairs and couches.
