Modus Ristorante

My visit to Modus Ristorante left much to be desired. It was no surprise that it was one of the few restaurants available on short notice for a large party, and unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. Upon arriving for my reservation, I was disappointed to learn that my table had been given away. Despite being on time, the delay in seating us was frustrating, exacerbated by the dismissive and rude attitude of the owner who said it’s “normal for the holidays.” It took a lengthy 30+ minutes to be seated at a table meant for a maximum of four people, far from ideal for our group. Thankfully, our waitress was a bright spot in an otherwise poor experience. She was lovely and provided us with informative service. However, the overall dining experience was marred by the initial delay and inadequate seating arrangements. To add to the disappointment, my guests found the food to be bland and unimpressive. Their feedback echoed my own sentiments, leaving us all underwhelmed.

I recently hosted a business dinner at Modus for 8 of us and absolutely loved it! The ambience, the service (Alex was our waiter) and the food was excellent - perfection! Sam is a wonderful host which made the experience unforgettable. From the appetizer, to mains the food was meticulously prepared, fresh, flavourful and elegantly presented. I definitely recommend Modus for hosting events (they have private dining rooms which are beautiful) to a dinner out! Will DEFINITELY be back!

Had a team dinner with some VIPs and they were extremely pleased with the entire experience. The food was amazing and they accommodated dietary restrictions. The service was extremely attentive and lovely. The team continued to compliment me the following day as they had such a great time at dinner. Would recommend.

There was a mouse running in the dining area. This happened today during lunch. Atmosphere would’ve received 5 stars but the mouse ruined the meal for a few members in our table. The food that I ordered was great. The calamari was extremely well presented and tasted perfect. Yellowtail tuna was tender and the cheesecake was buttery smooth. However a few of my colleagues had a horrible experience with the veal. The veal’s presentation looked bad and tasted like a blob of old meat in oil. Service was great the waiter refills our wine and water often. I enjoyed the meal but some of my colleagues expressed they thought the food was horrible and had an upset stomach afterwards.

Nice atmosphere. We had a private room and bottle service which was nice. The food is made fresh. I liked the meatballs with smoked cheese very much. The halibut was bland but the veal for main course was delicious. Overall good restaurant.

The salmon tartare with crème fraiche was delish. Aside from that dish, I didn't overly enjoy anything else. Service was fine. The decor was pretty, but it's not enough positives to draw me back.

Great food, ambience and services. Most of the dishes are delicious, fresh and executed very well. My favorites are the grilled calamari, grilled prawns and saffron risottos with seared scallops. Bread and side dishes are also very decent. Highly recommended for business lunch. Service was very attentive and efficient.

Delicious! The prices are reasonable for the quality and the taste of the food. Service staff is nice. They have an excellent wine list. Location is right downtown Toronto. It may be hard to find parking around the area.
