From the minute you step inside, Modesto captivates you.
At once you feel as though you have been transported to the warm Mediterranean. The earthy reddish-yellow colors of southern Spain and inviting décor excite your eyes. Flamenco guitar and friendly chatter arouse your ears. And the aromas of Spanish cooking titillate your nose. You feel invigorated. You have found a unique restaurant that offers you an experience like no other. The experience is Modesto, the only tapas barand restaurant in St. Louis focused exclusively on providing you with a true taste of Spanish cuisine and culture.

Founded by Brendan Marsden and Julie Block, Modesto is an original restaurant concept. Together with chef Grace Dinsmoor, they have composed a menu that offers both traditional Spanish dishes, such as Paella Valenciana, as well as updated versions of popular Spanish dishes, such as Gambas al Modesto and the Filete de Solomillo, a steak that Post-Dispatch food critic, Patricia Corrigan, calls “one of the best in town.” From the wines, to the cheeses, to the olive oil, everything is exclusively Spanish.

The critics speak.

  • “It’s hot, it’s hip, it’s happening . . .” writes Paticia Corrigan, St. Louis Post-Dispatch food critic.
  • “Modesto has great appeal,” writes John Garganigo of Ladue News.
  • Joe Bonwich of The Riverfront Times writes, “Modesto has more than a modest chance of being around for a long time to come.”

But don’t take their word for it; judge for yourself... and don’t forget to try the Sangria!
