Food: Invariable quality, tiny portions
Marché Moderne serves food that’s more of a hit or miss. The Hamachi Crudo comes fresh and delicious, while the Braised Short Rib and Filet is a flavorful punch. However, the Wild Spanish Octopus Appetizer can vary between perfect tenderness and disappointing blandness. The food at Marché Moderne has creative presentation, but the small portions often leave guests longing for more.

Okay Taste

Vibe: Amorous setting marred by noise
Marché Moderne offers a cozy, romantic ambiance with modern and stylish décor creating the perfect scene for date nights. Despite the positive atmosphere, the restaurant loses its charm due to an unbearably noisy environment that ruins the ambiance. The drinks, particularly wine and cocktails, are disappointingly subpar and overpriced.
Great Ambiance
Cozy, romantic ambiance with modern, stylish decor loved by many customers.
Okay Drinks
Prices contentious but cocktails unique; wine selection varied, sometimes pricey.
Negative Buzz
Quiet, somber environment with low energy, lacks proper vibe.
Perks: Attentive service, if you can hear it
Parking is not a problem at Marché Moderne as it offers both valet and self-parking options. The restaurant is well laid out for both small and large parties, and the staff often impresses with their attentiveness and professionalism. However, the unbearable noise levels could ruin your experience, and the lack of diet flexibility, particularly for vegans, is a potential drawback.

Okay For Groups
Restaurant layout caters to both small and large parties well.
Bad Outdoor
Patio seating overcrowded and noisy, lacks needed privacy and comfort.
