Reviews Summary
Modis Breck offers a sophisticated dining experience with innovative New American cuisine and an impressive cocktail menu. Diners rave about exceptional dishes like Lobster Gnocchi and the romantic atmosphere enhanced by live jazz. While prices are noted as high, the quality of food and service generally justifies the cost, though some find certain entrees less filling for the price.
"Our party of 4 stopped by Modis on a recent trip to Breck in August. We had popped in earlier in the day and the host asked us to pick exactly which table we wanted for dinner. That was a nice touch!
The bar is very well-stocked and the bartenders were very skilled as the drinks we were served were exceptional.
Dinner continued to impress as all of our entrées were excellent. Of particular note was the Lobster Gnocchi as it was the lightest and fluffiest gnocchi any of us had ever eaten (that includes multiple trips to Italy).
We really enjoyed the evening and will certainly be returning the next time we're in town."

"Our group’s dinner experience here was, to say the least, an experience - mostly memorable were the interactions we had with our waiter (all positive, lots of laughing and jokes). Our waiter, Adam, rose to the occasion rescuing us with more drinks when we couldn’t rescue ourselves.
For food, I ordered the Filet and Brie, and it was very flavorful and filling. There were only ~5 entrees on the dinner menu so you don’t have much to choose from.
Someone else in the group ordered the scallops, and commented that it wasn’t very filling for the price compared to other entrees."

"Modis is amazing. We've eaten there twice. Both times have been excellent. The food is beyond delicious and the staff is very friendly. This time we ate mussels, pasta, salmon, and butter cake. I would eat all of those again. They do take reservations via open table and I would highly recommend it. The first time we ate there was in the middle of the ski season and it was jammed packed. The second time was at the end of the ski season and it wasn't super crowded."

Just a few doors down, a taste of Japan has made a home in a Breckenridge restaurant. Ramen ($28) has been on the menu of Modis for roughly a decade, and gives patrons something unique to order aside from the restaurant’s soup specials. While the flavors change with the season, it always has a base of bone broth that takes 24 hours to make from bones roasted in house.

For cocktails or a somewhat high-end dinner, Modis is pretty excellent. There was a new place last year called Twist that was really fun for slightly upscale comfort food (like carmelized shallot mac and cheese, that kind of thing). And I've heard good stuff about Ember and Mountain Flying Fish but never been myself.
