    Don’t really ever write reviews and I’ve never had to send back food but the temperature of both of the entrees today were lukewarm. I had to send back the Chilaquiles as it was literally cold when I took the first bite. We also had the biscuits and gravy, and while it wasn’t cold it was just luke warm. Not sure I’d ever come back here if every dish comes out like it’s been sitting out for 10 minutes before it arrives. Other than that the service was outstanding and our server was understanding. Again I literally never complain or send back food but I had to do it today. Please figure out a way to keep the food warm!

    Server wasn’t as attentive and friendly as she was with other tables. My friend observed the difference.

    Always a pleasant lunch. Wish the reflecting pool could get fixed but not in restaurant staff’s purview.

    Nice venue. Had a seat by the window but not much to look at as the reflecting pool is being renovated.

    Brunch at the modern was delightful. It was full and bustling with some large parties and service was still fantastic, food was delicious! Our server suggested items on brunch menu were amazing. Overall, wonderful on all dimensions.
