We were at Stage 119 for a private party and got to enjoy salads and a variety of unique flatbreads - all of which were delicious! The menu offers a great variety of dishes and we plan to go back soon to enjoy a night or to dinner!

My first time at the Modern Plate today. I was blown away by the beautiful dining and club room. The food is absolutely amazing and filling. The owner Ted is a very passionate man about his restaraunt, and I admire that. It absolutely shows that there is concern and care that goes into every corner of the Modern Plate. Now, I was here for an event in the club room, but rest assured, I WILL be coming here for just the dining experience and the food. I live about 50min away, but it is...THAT good. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful dinner and a night on the town.

I ordered the meat loaf, one of the chefs specialties, Disappointing. Meat was very bland. Bacon wrap didn't add anything. 2 others with me ordered burgers. They were better than the meatloaf. Spice it up a bit

Atmosphere has a cool vibe, though it's loud so probably not great for a quiet evening. We were excited to try the place because all the recent reviewers have said they've had such incredible experiences. Ours unfortunately was not. Food was really subpar. The feta spinach dumpling appetizers were way over fried and not edible. The server didn't say anything when he picked up the plate still more than half full, so we asked they take it off the check which after a conversation with the manager was taken care of. Entrees were roasted chicken (okay but nothing to write home about), and chicken skewers (chx was dry, not at all flavorful and the rice almost certainly came from a mix, also wasn't flavorful or enjoyable). I left 3/4 of the meal there. The server was friendly but not skilled in serving. He should have known to ask about the majority of a dish left uneaten, it was later in the evening (8), wasn't very busy yet he got lost a number of times. When it was time to get the check it took 10 minutes for him to appear. We won't be back.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy in and out for wheelchairs.

Seriously, they have the best half-priced specialty cocktails during happy hour (from 3 to 6) in the industry. They also make really good old fashioneds. The appetizers are delicious, especially the pork belly and cauliflower. The entrees are big and come with a lot of protein and vegetables. The service is fast and friendly. I'll definitely go back for happy hour and order a bunch of appetizers next time.

We were immediately greeted by the manager who also presented our table. The food was beyond excellent in both taste and presentation. Then, the manager asked us how everything was, even when we were leaving. One of the nicest restaurant staffs we ever experienced in a long time!

Old spin on a new tale.... (food was ok)... but as we are headed in, a waiter happily attended our entry..... hostess was spot on with reservation... but the attention to detail is where these guys kick ass!!!! Bustling Saturday nite out place busy inside & outside but to swiftly address an off table light to replacing it with a fresh battery properly working light all based on THEIR observation speaks volumes on their team from the top down!!!! But here's the chefs kiss!!!.....I'm in an American eatery.... but got my beloved CHILLES TOREADOS (not from my waitress... she wouldn't have had clue) but the runners!!!!!..... both a class act.....when I made my request in Spanish...he asked JALAPENO OR CERRANO......... ahhhh what a question.... I knew I/we was/were in great hands!!!!!....we also stayed for the show!!!!!! Cascade Drive good show!!! Team running M.P. thank you!!!
And as for M.P. check em out you'll be alright here!!!!!!

Fantastic food and fantastic servers!! I took the love of my life on a date here for our three year anniversary and our server Ella just made the experience so much better! We ordered the avocado pizza and it was fantastic! And Ella’s charisma really was the cherry on top that night! incredible establishment!!

Reservations made more than a month and a half in advance for 4 guests. Upon arrival table was not ready and waited about 10 minutes. Establishment was very noisy and when asked to relocate to booth hostess did not accommodate and said would be for larger party patrons even though reservation noted way in advance. The 3 booths ended up not being utilized in the entirety of our dining stay. The server was friendly but would approach the table and ask if things were okay from a distance or when walking by from time to time rather than being approachable. The food was okay, one of our party guests said that her steak sliders were not made as requested but she did not make it an issue and seemed fine. We had some issues with the check at the end of our meal, but they were able to figure it out after a few attempts which took some time to resolve. All in all they were apologetic and would have an open mind to return, but disappointed in the overall experience.
