I went down with a group of friends and absolutely loved the atmosphere, the drinks and the food. They had a wide selection of alcohol which I enjoyed even though I'm not a heavy drinker myself. The atmosphere was cozy, romantic and I felt at...home. The staff were friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy serving you, which I really appreciated.
We ordered some yakitori sets, grilled squid and some sushi to share as we chatted and drank. No matter how much we ordered, it always seemed like we could never have enough. My personal favourite was the grilled skilled and this sushi which I think had avocado and eel. Since The Modern Izakaya is a bar/restaurant, the food they provided all really went well with alcohol and we kept picking on the food till there was none left and we had to order more!
The place was perfect for a gathering with friends. We drank, had good bar bites, good service and the atmosphere was perfect. I can definitely see it as a usual hang out for us!More
