I really appreciate that as it's really hard to find good food.That's gluten free. They went out of their way to do this for me. The food was excellent!

The Boardroom Bar • $$
1528 J Street, Modesto

“If you’re looking for a place that absolutely nails the vibe, the drinks, and the food, The Boardroom is it. This bar delivers on every level, and a huge part of that magic comes from Stephanie, who is hands-down one of the best bartenders you’ll ever meet.

Stephanie doesn’t just make drinks, she *creates* them. Every cocktail is perfectly balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care and skill. You can tell she knows her craft inside and out, and it shows in every glass she serves. Whether you’re ordering a classic or letting her surprise you, you’re guaranteed something amazing.

And the food? Unreal. Stephanie doesn’t just shine behind the bar, she absolutely crushes it in the kitchen too. The in-house sauces she makes are next level, each one packed with bold flavor and clearly made from scratch. They elevate every dish and give the menu a homemade, high-quality feel that’s hard to find these days.

Honestly, everything on the menu is worth trying, but if nothing else, you have to get the chipotle chicken tacos. They are outstanding and alone are reason enough to come back again and again.

Between the great atmosphere, incredible food, and Stephanie’s unmatched talent with both drinks and dishes, The Boardroom isn’t just a bar, it’s an experience. Highly recommended.“

“Great place to go to play darts or shoot pool. Sometimes its packed sometimes its not. Waitresses are friendly and attentive. They dont have food but they will make you a bag of popcorn if you ask and they allow you to bring in outside food. No outside drinks though. Tuesdays the play bingo you can play 3 cards for $10 im not sure what it costs to play all games. And I know there's a payout not sure the exact amount in the pot. On Saturdays they have a dart tournament that you can buy in to (must have youre Phoenix card) . Overall its a pretty fun place. Depending on the day and time of day you might have a quite atmosphe other times its semi loud but tolerable and other nights it could be very very loud. Try it im sure you'll enjoy it.“

“My husband, my 3-year-old, a couple of friends, and I came to El Malecon Bar & Restaurant on Saturday to celebrate Mother’s Day. It was the first time for all of us, so we wanted to try it out. The food was so good! Great customer service ,our server really went out of her way for us. I mentioned that I couldn’t really speak much because I had a sore throat from allergies, and she brought me honey with lime, they don’t have regular water in a cup, just had cold water bottle, she didn’t mind heating up the water bottle in the microwave,which I really appreciated.

The atmosphere was great, the music was good, and they also had live music around 3ish. I also thought it was really nice that they have a handicap-accessible bathroom, which was pretty cool because I don’t usually see that often.

My husband, friends, and I had a great time, and we would definitely come again!“
