Curious about Mass Ave's newest restaurant, Modita?

Mass Ave's Bottleworks District is the hottest area in town, thanks to its art deco decor, posh hotel, and creative food hall. But The Bottleworks Hotel, also boasts a couple of its own restaurants, including a coffee shop and Modita, from The Cunningham Group. It was the first indoor reservation we made, 2 weeks to the day after receiving our second vaccine! And was it ever worth the wait. We've been back several times since, and have certainly added Modita to our usual Mass Ave rotation.

Modita Reservations

Modita takes reservations. Even though it's been open for a little while now, Modita is still extremely popular and I would recommend making reservations.
​Book through Open Table or call (317-316-0470) for Modita reservations.

Does Modita have outdoor dining?
Unfortunately, Modita does not have outdoor dining. I'm just as surprised as you! But, it's a restaurant in a hotel, and it looks like they've chosen to use the outdoor dining for the coffee shop,
​Blue Collar Coffee Co.

Modita Cocktail Selection

Modita's drink menu features Japanese-inspired cocktails. Japanese whiskey abounds. I highly recommend the Highball (pictured here). There's plenty of sake, if you're feeling adventurous!

Dinner at Modita

Plan to kick off your meal at Modita with a starter or dim sum. The miso salad keeps us coming back time after time. We talked about it as "that salad" and we can't get enough. The soup dumplings are incredible. Where's the soup? It's inside - cut that dumpling with the side of your fork with caution. The bao buns are also certainly worth trying. For a lack of a more sophisticated description, they're like delicious tacos with puffy buns.

Main course options are divided into sushi, wok, & Robata grill. Plates generally are meant to be enjoyed by a single person (not tapas style), and are plenty big.

Thanks for stopping by!
