Quiet evening in March. Spaghetti Piccatta was excellent.

Myself and three other friends went to modern barn without a reservation on a Thursday night. There was a handful of tables but not overly packed, the cocktails were delicious and definitely made with love and we all really enjoyed our meals. Would certainly come back.

Food was fine when it finally arrived. We were seated at 6:30 and did not get food until 7:40. The restaurant was not full, and if they were understaffed, then they should not accept reservations.

Best food I think I’ve had ever. Come here and eat. This is another world of quality.

The service was great and some of the dishes were really good, but it was an hour wait for food after ordering and some of it just wasn't worth the money. The rice in the poke bowls tasted a day old and it barely had any tuna in it.
First time visitors last night! We had a great dinner :). We had our son with us, he loved his buttery pasta and Oreo ice cream, and we enjoyed wine, steak and a pasta dish. Everyone was friendly and the food came out great! We will be back!

Modern Barn is one of the best restaurants in the Bethel area. Service was outstanding. Temperature is a bit chilly especially if your table is closer to the door. Food was generally excellent. The candied bacon is the bomb. Shrimp Cacio de Pepe was outstanding. The chicken marsala was very good but too heavy on the garlic. The garlic overwhelmed the Marsala flavor. Overall, another great dinner.

Very warm and welcoming spot with a top notch liquor selection, fantastic service with a friendly and outgoing staff, and incredibly convenient location. One word of caution; if you order the prime rib, be sure to order to be cooked two temps above what you actually want. Tends to come out on the raw side.

Disappointed I was charged $160 to cancel a reservation. I thought it would have been best to not spread illness.
Ambiance is nice, service is very slow, food is only ok. Dessert is $12 a piece and it all tastes like it was frozen and warmed up.

We enjoyed our meals and dining experience. Attentive staff read us pretty well - they matched our style and met our needs and were pleasant to chat with. All three of us enjoyed our dinners. The pasta is lovely and the wine in the bolognaise came through nicely to make a lovely sauce. Thanks for the fun experience.

Prepare yourself for an otherworldly experience at The Modern Barn – a place where sanity takes a vacation and surrealism reigns supreme. Upon entering, I was greeted by an onslaught of garish red hues that made me question if I had stumbled into a psychedelic red barn straight out of a Salvador Dali painting.The décor was an inexplicable mishmash of barnyard meets avant-garde. Picture this: life-sized cow sculptures adorned with neon-red sunglasses, chandeliers crafted from pitchforks dangling above tables, and walls plastered with oversized portraits of perplexed chickens wearing bowties. It was a tribute to the absurdity of design, leaving me wondering if I had unwittingly stepped into a twisted, surreal dream.As for the food, it seemed like the chef had taken inspiration from a whimsical fantasy rather than culinary expertise. I was served a dish that defied logic – a towering structure resembling a miniature red barn made entirely out of tomato slices and strawberry-infused quinoa. It was as baffling to taste as it was to behold.The staff seemed to blend in seamlessly with the eccentric ambiance, dressed in checkered red overalls with cow-print bowties, their demeanor mirroring the baffling atmosphere. They went about their tasks as if participating in an avant-garde performance art piece rather than providing traditional restaurant service.In conclusion, The Modern Barn is an enigmatic world where reality and eccentricity collide. If you seek an experience that challenges your perception of normalcy and embraces the outlandish, then by all means, step into this red-hued wonderland. But for those seeking a conventional dining experience, prepare for a journey beyond the realms of culinary convention.

We were so excited to include Modern Barn in our first trip of the season to Sunday River. The wedge salad and ahi tuna bowl were as good as I remember it and the service was as friendly and efficient as ever.
