If you aren’t looking for it, you might miss it. Relish Modern Tapas is a hopping restaurant hidden behind the Whole Foods in Deerfield Town Center. The decor in Relish lives up to the name – modern and heavily industrial.

The particular night we chose to go – a Saturday – Relish was jam-packed. Normally I don’t mind a busy restaurant, but it was so loud we had to lean way over the table and practically yell at each other – adding to the noise. I suspect the acoustics are what caused the problem – the one wall in the area we were seated was curved and there is not much decoration on the walls other than metals and a picture or two.

The menu at Relish is about as eclectic as their taste in music: everything from French onion soup and lobster bisque to Thai chicken and chorizo in medjool dates. We had a coupon from Restaurant.com we had ordered, so we splurged and got a ton of different dishes to try.
