I have been to Modus several times. The food is always incredible...especially those braised short ribs. They also have the best french fries in town. The Chef only uses organic local produce. I wonder about the other person's experience, as I have had several large parties there (for my office crew) and everyone always has a good time. The Head bartender, Ariana, (I think she is also part owner...)just got named one of America's top Bar Chefs by Playboy magazine. Her cocktails are insanely good. Anyways...this place is one of my favorites. Don't let the tyranny of opinion sway your desicion. Modus is on par with any place in the country, let alone San diego. Give it a try.
Pros: plenty of free parking
Cons: the place can get packed on the weekends...go for your first visit during the week
