Chapter One Modern Local is delightfully located in the arts district of downtown Santa Ana, California. I decided to meet a good friend for HH (Happy Hour) and try their food and craft cocktails. I have to say that the artfully made creations that came from the kitchen were so pretty that by the time I sank my teeth into the dish I almost forgot it was lacking flavor from each plate. The presentation was well delivered and my favorite was the take on the pear shaped mashed potatoes. The ambiance reminded me of some great local kitchens in New York that I dearly miss, yet I'm sad to say the taste was just to close to bland to even compare. On a higher note the barmaid was very kind and she made a few great drinks. I had their Moscow Mule and the in-house made ginger beer was really good and full of flavor. The bar also offers a few in-house infused spirits that I would be willing to go back and try. Now if only the Kitchen Chef and Mixologist could join teams this restaurant would be a great local go-to spot.
