Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

From our first meeting with Shani we knew we were in safe hands for the planning of our son's barmitzva. After holding a previous event at The Modern there was no doubt that we'd be back. The organisation, the advice, the logistics and coordination ran...so smoothly. The food, the atmosphere and the caring staff made for an incredible event. Thank you so much Modern you made out day xxMore

Small but good restaurant. Dining at the museum I was expecting something simple, the level of a normal cafeteria or a small diner, but I got quite a good and tasty experience here. My wife and I ordered Quinoa salad with grilled salmon & "The...soup of the day". And I really liked my salad. Unusual taste. I highly recommend stopping by for lunch while visiting the museum.More

The Modern team and the event director were exquisite, flexible, fully engaged and managed to deliver a wonderful lunch celebration for a Bar Mitzvah lunch in the elegant Patio. With friends and family coming from Italy, South Africa, UK, Holland and Israel, we had a...wonderful time. The low key elegance of such a restaurant and location. Thank you Modern.More

Hadn't been here for a very long time and frankly missed it. The menu didn't disappoint - the suffrito was divine - but something had declined: the atmosphere was not very relaxed, the servers were not attentive, and worst of all: there was a lack...of cleanliness re utensils, glassware etc. It's a real shame.More

After recommending a date for a birthday event for 7 people by their own employee, I want to emphasize - the employee suggested the date, 2 hours before the assigned reservation, someone called to say the employee made a mistake and that they are not...open at the assigned hour! 2 hours before. No accountability, no responsibility, just sorry, she made a mistake we are closing now, bye. I would be very wary of an establishment that behaves this way. For us the birthday celebration is ruined.More

This restaurant is a classic tourist trap. The food is extremely expensive and not worth it's price. The tapas plate for 2 was not good at all and definitely not worth its price. The main courses were dry and cold. To sum up i do...not recommend to eat there. This is my personal experiences.More

We celebrated Bar Mitzvah with Family at Modern. Food, service and location were amazing. Many thanks to Shani, the events manager of the restaurant who made the event happen despite the short notice during busy August. Highly recommended for events or for just good food...at a magical place.More

We booked this restaurant because we thought it had a high review from Tripadvisor. However we found the service terrible. We ordered entree for all 6 to share which was removed before we finished so they could serve the mains. However the mains didn’t come...all together. 3 of us had to wait 20 minutes before the main came. Not impressed with the dishes. Ordered a pasta dish but there was no sauce with it. Will not go backMore
