What User likes about The Modern Peasant:
I had the fish and chips, she had the special which was steak. My fish was lightly battered and the portions were plentiful. The frites were excellent. The slaw was coarser than I'm used to and the dressing was a bit different, but it was good in its own way. The steak was properly cooked. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Modern Peasant:
This was a very disappointing restaurant. Ordered Fish and Chips. The side was a coleslaw chopped so large it needed to be cut with a nice and absolutely tasteless. The fish was so greasy it left a large puddle on our plates and yet the batter was iverdone and the fish underdone. The fries were undercooked as well and the waitress forgot to bring our sodas.

We had an amazing dinner here. Everything was so tasty. The fish and chips, the beet salad and the chipotle chicken burger. _Great service and cold beer.

The food here is so good, but the owner is rude and chauvinistic. His comments towards patrons are unacceptable.
