The vibe! It feels like your neighborhood bar with someone making sure you're not getting stuck ordering the "same old thing". Great rotating menu of small plates and new wine, beer and kombucha to try. The staff is fun and all seem to love their job, but it's extra fun when owner/chef brings something straight out to your table! Btw, there are WAY more delicious vegetable-forward dishes than I can eat in one visit.....and great meat options for my carnivore friends! read more

This was my second visit to this culinary delight, and once again it reminded me why the experience here is so special. Tonight I went on the lighter side with the crab cake, which was exceptional! It was tender and elevated even further by a luxurious citrus béarnaise that brought the whole dish to life. I also tasted the feijoada, and it was outstanding: rich, comforting, and layered with the kind of depth that only comes from true craft. For shared bites, we enjoyed the pão and the bone marrow. Compliments to the chef and amazing team cultivating the experience. read more

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! read more

What a great spot. It's very eclectic. Very creative atmosphere. Star was very inviting and pleasant. Stephanie was our waitress and she was very pleasant and attentive. The food is all small plates and tasted farm to fresh. We ordered the salad and Brie bomb to start. Both were absolutely delicious. We then ordered bruschetta, beef Wellington, and sirloin. Very delicious. Very fresh, very full of flavor. My favorite was the Brie bomb and sirloin. Great little place. Somebody took an idea or dream and made it happen. I would have given 5 stars but there is so little seating, uncomfortable chairs and the patio was very warm. They need a bigger place for sure! read more

I just love this place! Non-descript store front makes you wonder if there is even a place to dine here. But turn right down the side street and there is a parking lot in the back. Inside, it's a small and intimate place. You can fit 6 to 8 people around the bar, one larger table and then several two seater tables. They also have a covered patioout back. They serve tapas, and several of them are gluten-free. Beer and wine only, and sometimes a cider or two, but they have a good rotating selection. Everyone who works here is just plain cool. Great amount of attention, and are just interesting people to talk to They do all the preparing and cooking right in front of you if you are at the bar. Food is always really good to great! Stable place to eat if you want to get out from the mainstream places and support local business in Modesto! read more

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! read more

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! read more

What an amazing experience! The tapas were delicious. The beer and wine were fantastic. The vibe was everything. They accommodated my gluten allergy without hesitation. Gluten free cheesy bread, cucumber subbed with whipped feta dip, chimachuri steak, mini artichoke.... The gluten eaters also enjoyed the lamb pie and bake Brie! A perfect date night. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

I've always enjoyed the food here. I think they have a creative menu. They have excellent desserts and drinks a few times I've been here the service was decent. I think they just get busy and then you're like waiting for a while, but the food is good enough for the wait , I recommend it. read more

Great food, great service & ambience. We loved it! The crab cakes were so very good, whipped feta and a market salad, all really nicely prepared and delicious. We will go again soon! read more

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! read more

Wow! This place has it all, let's start with service. Absolutely perfect, we were greeted & seated immediately. Our server explained all the specials and Chef Ty will let you know the he smokes his own pastrami. Had the pastrami hash and I'm hooked. My wife (vegan) had the vegan hash, it is completely vegan down to the vegan mayo dressing and delicious! Coffee is on point & the atmosphere is perfect. Menu is seasonal so I will definitely be coming back to see what they come up with next. read more

I've had Bauer's 66 1/2 bookmarked ever since I saw them on an episode of DDD. That location has since merged with Bauer's Downtown, but they aren't open on Sundays. Bauhaus, their sister restaurant, popped up on my search, and is open for brunch on Sundays! We toasted to our first trailer-camping trip with the Manmosa ($6) and sangria ($8): Light and refreshing, they'll sneak up on you! I actually got a pretty good buzz off of a single glass, although I am known to be a bit of a lightweight. The cinnamon puff pastry ($6) was the perfect sweet compliment to the savory entrees. So light and flakey! The fusion spin on the pork belly eggs Korean style ($15) worked, although the star of the dish, the pork belly, could have been cooked a bit longer. The pastrami in the pastrami hash and eggs ($15) was uber tender! Plus points for curing and smoking all their meats in house. Service was on point. Super cute patio area in back! Be sure to make reservations, as space is limited due to current COVID restrictions. read more

Excellent small plates of food. The food was exquisite. Superb flavor. Allow plenty of time for your meal as they prepare each plate of food for you. So much of the food is made from scratch. Relax and enjoy the ambience of this unique restaurant. We were a party of six the first time we all ate at Bauhaus and many of us have returned again and again to Bauhaus. The service is unbelievably perfect. The delicious food is always the best part! read more

Came in on a Saturday evening and didn't have to wait to be seated. The ambiance was very casual and welcoming. I came with a friend and we decided to share each plate. The wine selection was surprisingly diverse. I had a Syrah from Santa Barbara and a Douro from Portugal. Both were fantastic paired with the mainly red meat courses we ordered. The plating for some items like the batatas, steak, and beef wellington were a disservice to the food. The beef wellington was cooked to a perfect medium rare, but the plating made it look very underwhelming. It was actually our favorite dish for the night. The sauce was great with the steak and the pastry was buttery and flaky. Our lamb was supposed to be medium rare, but it came out almost well done. Surprisingly, it was still very tender and flavorful so I can't really complain about it. Portion sizes were very small, but I think the taste of the food made up for it. This might be one of the best meals I've had in Modesto. I would be careful choosing where to sit in the future though. I sat at the bar, and a lot of the smoke from the cooking was blowing right where my friend and I were sitting. Our eyes were watering by the end of the night and my clothes smelled like smoke. Maybe they need to upgrade the stove range or ventilation where the cooking is done. Outdoor seating would probably be the best, but then you'd lose out with chatting with the wonderful staff at the bar. I will definitely come back for wine and tapas in the future. read more

Yesterday was my first time here and I have to say it was amazing. The ambiance was really nice, the portions were perfectly sized, the staff was really friendly and attentive and the food was great. I had the beef Wellington, the chimichurri steak, the lamb, the potatoes, and the bone marrow. Every dish was great. And the food wait wasn't too long Which was impressive considering that it was pretty busy. Also, they played great music. 10/10 would go again. read more

Great date spot to mix things up. This is a Tapa style place to kick back. The menu is always changing. Step out of your comfort zone and open yourself up to an unique experience. Excellent beer selection and the food is made with top-notch fresh ingredients. Tonight we shared 3 Tapas and the New York Steak special. Passed on the bone marrow tonight but if it's your first time here, it is a must try. The New York Steak wasn't great. A rare miss for this spot. There was no sear and the cut was excessively fatty. The flavor was still good and the berry compote was interesting. Everything else was amazing. The clams were divine. The crab cake was the best I've ever had. Puff pastries are a staple here and their reputation is well deserved. Service is always friendly and welcoming. Thank you for another great date night. read more

Absolutely love Bauhaus. All of the vegan plates are delicious. I'm always excited to see what Tye has up his sleeve, and Bauhaus is truly from top to bottom his love child. The environment has all of the original style that Tye has brought to Bauer's, and the Modesto restaurant scene for years. The woodwork is absolutely beautiful. The vibe is so relaxed, and comfortable. I'm really looking forward to hanging on the beautiful back patio this summer. I love the soft pretzel, the cauliflower buffalo pastry, and the vegan ceviche. The roasted asparagus with the vegan parmesan and truffle lime aioli is my favorite. And there are plenty of options for omnivores, I just haven't tried them. With that being said, all of my friends that eat meat have enjoyed all of their plates, every single time. The beer selection is delicious and constantly changing. The white sangria is sweet and refreshing. Tye is always so accommodating and makes my dining experience exciting. The kombucha on tap in phenomenal and a great non alcoholic option to have with dinner. I usually start with a kombucha, while I decide what beer to have. read more
