Two stars - one for each mouse we saw🐭🐭

I really don't like leaving bad reviews, but this was honestly one of the weirdest restaurant experiences we have ever had.

While dining on the second floor, we saw two mice running around the restaurant. We mentioned it to the waiter when we were paying, expecting at least some concern or an apology. Instead, he didn't seem surprised at all & didn't apologize or offer any explanation.

Seeing two mice inside a restaurant is already extremely concerning, but the fact that the staff member seemed completely unfazed made the experience even more disturbing. It left us wondering if this was something they were already aware of or simply considered normal.

Unfortunately, this completely affected our impression of the restaurant & we would not feel comfortable returning.

Amazing food, amazing service & great atmosphere.

The gnocchi & the lamb burger both tasted absolutely delicious & you could tell they used good ingredients.

When we came in we were greeted by Lorenzo & he immediately noticed my mother wasn't walking properly so he offered her his own toilet on the same floor. Very hospitable! 🙏

Modavie is amazing. The filet was literally perfect & the waiter Tyler was so nice & despite how busy it was he was very attentive. The music was great, just the overhead lighting was the only thing that kinda killed the mood. Overall it was amazing
