Modus Supper Club

I tried to take my out of town guests to Modus last night and what a DISASTER!! We waited for 40 minutes before our appetizers were brought, which we only ordered because, despite having a reservation, our table was not ready (again for 40 minutes).. and then an hour later, our first course still was not out! How long can it take to make salads?! When we asked where our food was, the only response was "Hang out and have fun. It will come." We could not get anyone to help us. And unfortunately, when we wanted to leave, the "owner" rudely thrust the bill at my husband and said to us "Good Luck." (Only when we wanted to leave did they actually pay us any attention) We have never had such rude, inattentive treatment from a restaurant, let along the OWNER of the place. It's too bad, because the few skimpy appetizers we did get were pretty tasty, but overall a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE, and I would warn anyone from going there. There are SO MANY BETTER restaurants to try in San Diego like: Jordan at Tower 23, Quarter Kitchen at the Ivy hotel and Chive in the Gaslamp.

My wife and I have been to restaurants all over the world and have never been so rudely treated. We were seated by the host, and ordered cocktails and then told to get up by a different hostess who informed us that "This table is reserved so we're going to have to ask you to get up." I told her we hadn't just seated ourselves and that she was being rude. She insisted that we get up, so I said that I couldn't believe her approach to this. She then informed us that "It's happening so you better believe it." On top of that the menu seemed uninspired and tragic. If you're going to be pretentious and rude you better have the goods to back it up. Modus lost some new customers and ruined our night, not that they could care less.
