MODA Restaurant and Bar - Columbus

We almost skipped this place because the info in our room was outdated. The actual menu is much more interesting. We got the jerk chicken and rice, garlic fries, burrata and citrus, and buckeye pie.. everything was delicious!! We were so pleasantly surprised. The place is nice and prices are high to be expected but for my partner's birthday dinner it was perfect.

Felt more like a lounge. Rather limited menu. It was an experience but I probably will not be visiting again.

VERY DECEPTIVE BAR PRICES
My guest order a Grey Goose Martini during Happy Hour When we went to pay the bill they were $24 each $48 for 2 martinis! Capital Grille and Lindy's charge $18 I contacted the F&B manager and was basically told that was the upcharge and was given no compensation

Disgusting place

We came in after the Chelsea game and it was extremely busy with everyone arriving at once! Things were moving slow as would be expected, but it seemed like the entire staff from bartenders, to servers, to management were hustling to the best of their ability. When food and cocktails reached us it was well prepared and a manager named Patrick stopped by to talk to us for a few minutes to explain and apologize. He seemed sincere and kind even though I saw a few guests being rude to him when he tried to explain the same things to them. As someone who has worked in service I really think a host would have been helpful as we all just sat at once and flooded our orders into the bar and kitchen?

Awful management. The bartender was okay but the management was awful with our order taking an hour and half and we never got our food. They weren’t ready for a “rush” of people after a soccer game. The manager on 8/3/24 was a jerk and disrespectful.

Is quite excellent there. I wasn't able to get a picture but all I can say is that I enjoyed it

This restaurant is excellent! Delicious food and appropriate serving sizes. Even better our server was great; he was very polite and easygoing. If you’re in Ohio you need to come here!

I came here for dinner on a Sunday evening and it felt pretty laid-back and informal. It has a classy ambiance, but it's in the hotel lobby and not really separated from guests coming and going. We sat ourselves and most people there were just grabbing drinks from the bar. There was a wide variety of attire, so you definitely don't need to come dressed formally. I wouldn't call it a nice date night vibe, but mostly focused on elevated cuisine. The menu is okay, not super extensive or exciting, but the food was excellent. For starters, the pretzel bites had a unique texture to them -- reminded me a tiny bit of a yeast donut but a little thicker. The salmon entree was phenomenal -- delicious glaze, great crust on the salmon, silky smooth and rich puree, everything on the plate meshed well together.. 9/10 dish. I tasted a bite of the mushroom risotto and it was quite good, too. Service was good. I'd come back for another great meal.

Place is in a hotel and very wide open, so hard to give it a good atmosphere score.Overall 5, food 5, service 5.Got the salmon. It was flat-put excellent. Nothing more to say. Will absolutely be back.Server was a junior at OSU and talked through her experience in going to SDSU then coming back to OSU. I believe her name was Taylor. This was the conversation my daughter needed to hear to make up her mind. She has since accepted the OSU offer and is totally stoked to go in the fall. Pass on my regards to Taylor as she was super friendly & helpful.Will go back!
