Bauhaus

Nice place with good vibes, service and food.I saw 3 people and they were masters of their domain.The bartender- serving nice tapas and loading up the drinks. The wonderdul waitress, hosting, taking orders and serving food. The dishwasher gentleman going quiet and diligently about his business keeping the flow of the dishes!!!Loved it!

Why do I love it here. The open kitchen. When other restaurants say this, they don't REALLY mean it. Here, it is in fact a place where you're watching and engaging with the chef. Listening to the chef idéate in real time was fun. The menu is curated in such a thoughtful way. The seasonal consideration keeps you on your toes from season to season. We had the clam steamers. Gambas (shrimp), beef Wellington, the baby artichokes and the broquetas (sardines) en vinagre. The staff makes excellent pairing recommendations throughout your meal and is attentive as much as possible.Reservations aren't required but if you want to sit at the bar (highly recommended), I'd make one and call and request the bar.

VEGAN SPECIFIC REVIEW:Bauhaus is VERY vegan friendly. I looked on Yelp to find a place that offered a vegan brunch in Modesto and Bauhaus popped up. Everything I ordered was absolutely outstanding. I ordered 4 items and split them with my partner and we were both satisfied with the brunch but not too stuffed. Not pictured is my seasonal spritz which had pomegranate seeds, strawberries, mango juice, blackberry juice, and something else that I'm forgetting. It was a 10/10). Our food came out at a decent pace, it felt like we had a 5-10 minute window between dishes which I personally enjoyed because you get to enjoy a freshly made/hot dish for every dish that you order. I only had to wait a few minutes to be seated at the bar/kitchen front area so I enjoyed watching the food be made! They even had purse hooks under the top of the bar!!!! This restaurant has a small place to park around back which is great! Overall an excellent experience!

Food a bit expensive but decent. After passing by this little spot we finally checked it out. It's very small and alright for a cold one but don't go in hungry or on a budget.

Cute interior and outside! Food was delicious and employees are super friendly. We sat down by the counter snd loved seeing the chef cook in right front of us. We were there for brunch and next time, I'll come back for dinner and dinks :)

I chose to sit at the bar. Got to meet the owner named Ty. Ordered the garlic, thyme bone marrow which was excellent with the crusty bread and romaine salad underneath. The gambas de ajillo tasted just like if I got Argentinian frozen shrimp with salted butter, garlic, and shallots. Great with the crusty bread. I found getting the bone marrow more worth it. Was told to come back for the sausages. Can't wait!

Hmm so where do I start...maybe the fact that this place feels like you're part of a private club or something. I've been to this place maybe 3 times now with my wife and every time the vibe is right and the food is good! We always go prior to their busy times so we always get tremendous service! If you didn't know this place existed you would walk right past it. The inside is small but has a cool vibe to it. It's almost like a bar setting but where the bar would typically be the chef is cooking right in front of you! Every time we've come the food is always great! They change their menu out every so often but don't worry anything they have is going to bring your taste buds for a ride! One of my favorite spots in Modesto!

Great food and fun atmosphere at the bar. Food is freshly made in the tiniest kitchen ever! The chefs work in magic unison in that tiny space. Amazing to watch

Great service and food! Fun little spot in Modesto. Everything was delicious. We don't drink but they also had a large selection of craft beers. They don't setve soda, but we had Pellegrino Blood Orange and lemonade drinks

We're visiting from out of town and our friends recommended this place. Everything on the menu looked amazing so even though we didn't have reservations for 6 people, we came and waited around 30minutes for a table on a Saturday night (not bad at all!). The restaurant is small with a cozy vibe. The beers and kombucha were great and all the dishes we ordered were very well made and delicious. We ordered 2 to 3 plates of each dish and the owner lady even made sure we were not ordering too much. We're glad to find that Modesto has such a good restaurant now. We will definitely come back since it looks like their menu changes often. Kudos to the hardworking pair that runs the restaurant!
