   Menu has gotten pricier, but food and service were both outstanding. Carrot side dish (recommended by the server) was great. Focacia appetizer was decadent but delicious.

   Easter Brunch was not worth the price. Ambience was not as advertised with no warning of being under construction, with gravel piles and rain puddles to gaze at. Also very understaffed. It’s the museum and didn’t want a waffle bar or scrambled eggs. However, I’d expect a little execution. So so desserts, nothing intriguing. Charred cheese on what would have been a nice mushroom dish. Eggs Benedict bar appeared to be the only made to order station, and there were no new eggs being made with over an hour and a half before closing the event. For the price you were paying, I’d expect maybe a carving station for the ham? Nope, just throw it in an open steel container and leaving sitting out. Laughable display.

   We took our daughter and her friends for her 16th birthday. The food was terrific as always and our waiter was great. I had the pork schnitzel and my husband had the chicken pot pie. Both were excellent! We love dining at the Mod; it’s always a different menu, the restaurant is quiet and elegant. Always a lovely experience!

   Great vibe and cool spot (very comfy chairs). Food was a little overpriced.

   The water is still gravel. The view sub par. The server kind, attentive, caring. The hostess allowed us to chose our seats although view over all not optimal. Thank you for birthday card. A birthday dessert would be a nice compliment. Wendy A. Tilley
