I was hoping to give my mother a nice evening out for Mother's Day. Modesto's has a very pleasing atmosphere with fairly prompt and friendly servers. However, our party of seven was seated at a table with a broken hinge. A waiter came out, flipped up the cloth and messed with the table top for several mintues only to rest it at the same angled position with no apologies. My father had to eat his food at a slant. To be fair, the food was good. The meal unfortunately started with a wilted salad. I had a small bed of soft lettuce surrounded by one anemic slice of tomato, one slice of bruised cucumber. one olive, and one hot pepper. My salmon was moist and flaky and vegetables cooked well; tender without being overcooked. It almost seems as though this restaraunt desperately wants to be classy, but doesn't quite know how to pull it off. You can honestly get a comparable (even better) meal elsewhere at a much lower price!
Pros: ambience, friendly service
Cons: overpriced average food
