Would not recommend. We made a reservation for 2, 5 hours before we wanted the reservation. So noon for 5 pm arrival. Under “special requirements”, we requested to not be seated in the middle of the room, but would prefer a table on the side, if possible, by a window or a more quiet location. When we arrived, there was absolutely no one in the restaurant seated at any of the dining room tables, only patrons at the bar. The hostess sat us virtually right next to the hostess stand in front of the door. I asked if we could have one of the other tables over on the side, she consulted with another employee and came back and said “no I’m sorry, you’d be surprised how quickly this place will fill up in an hour”. She then turned and walked away and never tried to see if we would be ok with this. Can’t comment on the food because we left after this rude behavior. Very poor customer service! We will not be back. If you have a completely empty dining room, at least try and satisfy those that are there first! They obviously don’t care..service was inexcusable!

The Modern Barn was such a pleasure! Far exceeded our expectations. The staff was fantastic, the owner was present and involved, and the food was incredible! We will definitely be back and will tell our friends. Check it out! Its worth it. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Creme Brulee

The food was mostly amazing, and what wasn't amazing was still enjoyable. It was beautifully plated and tasted as good as it looked. We got 2 appetizers, the Thai Chili Cauliflower (very generous portion) and the Pot stickers (4 dumplings) and enjoyed both very much. Our entrées were delivered hot to the table. We got 2 orders of the Mediterranean Ravioli, one with the salmon (delicious and perfectly cooked) and one with the chicken (ok but unremarkable). The Ravioli was tasty and the combination of the artichoke, olives, and tomatoes really highlighted the individual flavors. The chicken marsala was served with plenty of sauce and pasta and was again cooked perfectly. The final dish was the chicken sandwich. It was as anyone would expect a fried chicken sandwich to be. Good but nothing especially notable. The side of onion rings was very good. We will definitely be back.
