The food is absolutely insane. I recommend the bolognese and marsala. The creme brûlée donuts are even a reason just to return. Jenna at the bar is so amazing and funny. Service amazing, food even better. Sit at the bar and have a great time with good food.

With only 3 other customers in the entire restaurant they refused to give us a booth even after we specifically asked (the owner said no) and instead we were stuck at a tiny high top very unstable and uncomfortable and sadly was not able to enjoy sitting next to my companion. It completely killed our vibe...The filet mignon we could've made better at home. Probably my companion would only return for a beer and never again for a date. Unfortunate that the service wasnt better theres absolutely no reason to be so strict about not sitting at a booth that was open right next to us. Our waitress was wonderful and even apologized for the OWNER being so ridiculous about it. 25 mins later other people were sat at a booth because apparently it was now the "right time" where they could sit there....

Their tuna tartare is really not a tartare, but it was still good. Changing my review to 2 stars after I noticed that they are cheating on Tip Calculations, where they include the 8% Maine tax in it. Tips are on Food and Service and not on Tax! Not sure if that’s illegal in Maine but it’s definitely wrong and dishonest!

As a Local we visit all restaurants in Bethel. Drinks Dinner... The team at the Modern Barn were awesome. We all had the Curry dish. 1 scallops 1shrimp 1 chicken. All home runs. What's really great is the team is always awesome! Thanks for finishing my work week on a great note!

The Thai shrimp great, Caesar salad great, oysters great. The filet mignon was disappointing, but maybe it was late at night. The staff is amazing. Wine list is the best of the best.
