Cool environment – Have enjoyed many meals at Modesto. The Paella is great and the wine list at times unique. Our most recent visit though provided us with a server(MS) who was mechanical at best. It was akin to dropping off and order at a step up window and having the same delivered to your table a'la-Culvers. I expect more interaction but perhaps we do not fit the demographic the server wishes to interact with.
Won't go back – I had been to Modesto for the fifth, and final, time on Friday, October 23. I chose it for a get together with friends, as I have thoroughly enjoyed the first four trips. Apparently, my luck had run out. We had a reservation for 10 at 6. At 6:30 we were informed that we needed to speed it up as there was another reservation at 8 for that table. Not only did the bum's rush not set the right tone, we waited 40 minutes for things from the grill. No apology, just some excuse about how the "grill is backed up." Ev... read more
Just okay...we won't be back. – Pros and cons. First, I'll tell you that this is my sister's favorite restaurant....not sure why, but she loves it. (She was with us too) If you don't like Tapas, you won't like this. If you've never had Tapas-beware. It's not for everyone. We are okay with it, but we're not Tappas lovers. And, we've had MUCH better Tapas in other cities. The location is good, atmosphere also quaint, no complaints. We were there with a party of 9, and didn't feel like we were in a crowded place where we couldn... read more
Best Tapas – Amazing and varied selection of food and Spanish wine. Beautiful location in quaint neighborhood. Very pleased with the service and decor.
Won't be back – I'll preface my critique by saying both that tapas aren't for everyone and by admitting that I likely fall into the group that gravitates towards larger servings. Still, I know food - know what tastes good and what doesn't regardless the amount on the plate. I'd never been to Modesto but thought it would be a nice change - went in with a totally open mind and even held a sincere hope that I'd enjoy the experience. I went on a Wed., arriving as they opened the doors at 5 PM. I wanted to try one of each type of... read more
One bad nut – The Head Chef at this restaurant is a bully and a monster. If I was able to judge just the food and service I would be here to rave about Modesto, but that just isn't possible when you have to sit uncomfortably trying to ignore the boorish chef berating serving staff and loudly insulting the guests. We watched as she (?) fired our server in the middle of our meal. I can't say what he may have done to ignite her obviously flammable temper, but it was a repulsive experience that ruined the rest of the meal. For a... read more
Great food, great price – Went there with a large group of people. Everyone ordered different dishes and passed around. Everything we tried, was absolutely delicious. The waiter was on top of things. Our water glasses never got too low. As we finished one delicious dish, another was delivered. Everyone had a wonderful time. Each small plate was around $6. For as much food as we all got to taste and for how good it was, it was well worth it. I would go back again for sure.
Our Reception--Outstanding – We had our reception here, and "highly recommended" does not begin to describe how happy we were with our experience. Grace, the chef, was wonderful with recommendations and the order in which the food was served. The bartender and the waitstaff were charming, helpful and efficient, and we had a number of comments from our friends claiming, "This is the best wedding food ever!" Between the smoked trout, the steak in the port wine reduction, and the tres leches cake, our guests were engaged in bli... read more
A Great First Tapas Experience – We ate here on 8/26/05 after seeing a review in the local weekly newspaper. The two of us had two cold plates and three hot ones, plus the bread and delicious tapenade which we were served when seated. We especially liked the fried cauliflower with paprika and truffle oil. (Sounds crazy, but was delicious.) We also were impressed with the creamy Moroccan rice with shrimp and mushrooms. The sangria (white) was good, but overpriced at $24 for a pitcher, which totalled about 3 1/2 glasses in all... read more
