The staff were very nice, we were immediately invited inside the restaurant before they handed us a smaller version of the menu. The lady at the register was also very nice. The price were not too expensive, but the quality of the food was really good. I ordered a big breakfast and it tasted amazing, the bacon were cooked to a perfect level whilst the eggs melted in your mouth. Would definitely recommend and thanks again for the wonderful service.

I had breakfast at Moderne this morning and chose the french toast. The staff were helpful. Service was quick. The french toast was beautifully presented and tasty, though it had a texture more like a bread pudding on the inside. The fruit that accompanied it was really nice. Overall I did enjoy my meal.
