Moda - Petrie Terrace

Took the advantage of the Fork 50% off food bill promo to have dinner in a group of five last night. We selected tapas style to share quite a few dishes among us including duck lover parfait, Tempura fish, Harvey Bay scallops, Galician octopus, Lamb shoulder, smoked duck breast, Paellita by Javier and seasonal green.<br/ The let down was some of the dishes were more like fusion food rather than a Spanish style as it was before. Having said that the taste and CP were both good. Moreover, the service was above average standard.<br/ <br/ Previous visits:<br/ Feb 2019 4/5<br/ Aug 2018 4/5<br/ Jun 2015 4/5

Our dinner at Moda is with The Fork’s generous 50% discount. Warmly greeted on arrival, we are shown to our table. Phuong Tran orders her Cocktail as I decide on our dinner. PT loves the Jungle Bird, a Cocktail of Campari, Rum and Pineapple juice. Before long, our meals from the open planned kitchen start to arrive. <br/ <br/ Harvey Bay Scallops are visually stunning. Plump Scallops are grilled with Spanish Ham, Saffron and Cauliflower then topped with watercress. Delicious!<br/ <br/ Orange Roughy is served with Saffron Potatoes and a Champagne Sauce. A great match! While I understand this is a quality fish, the serving is surprisingly small. <br/ <br/ Confit Duck Leg comes with Red Cabbage and apple Chutney and a fresh Salad. A generous serve and this Duck dish is nicely prepared. <br/ <br/ Riverina Beef Cheeks is served on a bed of sautéed Kale with a side of mashed purple Sweet Potato. The tender Beef Cheeks are nicely seasoned and delicious. <br/ <br/ We rate our dishes between 4 and 5! Special thanks to our jovial Bartender and the friendly helpful wait staff. The 50% discount provides amazing value for this highly rated restaurant. Our overall rating for this meal improves to a perfect 5!

So far one of the best restaurants with very good wagyu steaks for the price. The entrees and tapas are pricey, but most of them are generally really good, would definitely come back again.

Wow. Javier’s Table. Such a warm, generous and extremely satisfying restaurant experience. Spanish has long been a favourite cuisine of ours so we jumped on the chance to return to Moda after what seems forever! A group of 6 of us dined and were all blown away with not just the taste and quality of the ‘feed me’ style menu that we chose but also the quantity (something that lacks in other examples we’ve had). We literally needed to be rolled out the restaurant. You genuinely feel like you are in someone’s home with old school hospitality that is another rare find. Going to make sure that it’s not so long between visits this time.

I've been here twice now and each time the food has not disappointed. Bursting with flavour and good portion sizes. Our waiter was pleasant and professional. I will be continue to come back here.
