I'm not vegan, so I don't often eat vegan food, but this meal was really enjoyable! My vegan friend took me here, and I'm so glad she did. I got the fetuccine alfredo, and I honestly have been craving it recently... I need to go back! The sauce was so thick and rich, and the noodles were cooked to al dente perfection. The garlic bread was also delicious, and I appreciated the side arugula salad that balanced out the heaviness of a pasta meal. I also got a glass of their chardonnay, which was so lovely and buttery. My friend and I shared the walnut brownie, which was topped with a scoop of ice cream, and that was such a delicious way to end our meal. I really enjoyed this meal, and even though I'm not vegan myself, I think I will definitely be back!

A lot of restaurants talk about vegan, but they only have soy or pseudo meat options. What I loved about Modern Love was that they weren't trying to imitate meat and everything tasted delicious. Complex flavors, creamy texture & great for meat eaters too because you don't think it's suppose to taste like something it's not. It was quite busy, but we got seated by the entrance which was cute and feminine with varying mirror shapes. Definitely recommend. $20-$30 meals.

Came here for a date night dinner with my girlfriend. We enjoyed the spicy fried chicken sandwich and the fries, but I was underwhelmed by my rigatoni with crispy tofu. Unfortunately we were also disappointed by the service- our server was on top of her game, but the restaurant was clearly understaffed which caused a very tangible atmosphere of stress. The hostess appeared overwhelmed with takeout orders. Very nice place with great vegan options, and despite the notes above I would go back!

Modern Love is where I'd love to call home. If I'm ever lost, just look first to see if I'm at Modern Love. I love it here. Everything about it. I don't eat meat, so I'm always obsessed with the opportunity to have... EVERYTHING on a menu. Came here on a Friday night, my boyfriend and our 2 friends. One of our friends is gluten free, like super duper gluten free, so we appreciated the added measure that Modern Love cooks every gluten free item in separate fryers. They really assured her about that detail. The layout of the restaurant is sleek and inviting, kind of like open floor plan and communal but dimly lit enough to feel sexy. EVERYTHING on the menu is unbelievable. When I ate meat, one of my fav things were buffalo wings and Modern Love has scratched the itch, folks. The seitan wings are ummm... unreal. GF friends, the cauliflower wings are also 10/10. Don't even get me started on the chicken parm hero. It's actually against the law how good this is. I've been here now 4 times and it is always a hit. Obviously I'll be back :)

Have been to this establishment a few evenings and probably will be coming back. Lol The service and staff are always nice and checking in to make sure all is well. The space is nice a bit tight on the table size but it's New York lol not that much space to go around to begin with. So I have my defs that I always get. The nachos! They are tried and true! Please never get rid of those lol. The hot honey chick'n sandwich...delish and the sauce they use...is drool worthy. Always scrapping up the sauce with the side of fries. The kale salad is good as well. They have new items that pop up here and there. Tried the mushroom chick'n once and it was okay imo. If you are in bklyn and are looking for a vegan joint....this is it!

Was craving vegan food while visiting Brooklyn and Modern Love BK came up. After reading the menu I knew I wanted to try it out! We arrived and were sat by staff. They were kind and attentive. To start we ordered a sour beer and the brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were SO good. The flavor was delicious, and they were perfectly cooked. We then ordered the hot honee chick'n which was a crispy tofu sandwich that came with their house made hot honee and fries. Wow! The sandwich are fries were so tasty! It was a generous portion. The tofu was beautifully crispy. Amazing texture and flavor. The fries were so fresh and good. Very impressed by this sandwich. For a sweet treat, we ordered their home made ice cream - a scoop of peanut butter ice cream and a scoop of strawberry topped with coconut whipped cream. The peanut butter scoop was so good and creamy. The strawberry was refreshing but a little hard to eat as the fresh strawberries were really frozen. The coconut whipped cream was so creamy and a great addition to the ice cream. Really enjoyed the food and ambiance at Modern Love!
