The bun was toasted around the edges and soft in the middle... lawd have mercy. Then had the perfect size fries..matchstick. mmmmmhhh! I can still taste that perfect burger. I would definitely go back and order another one! 10/10!

The food has always been excellent here. And the service has definitely been better. Alyssa was great and remembered our conversation about live music.

The food was great, the staff was friendly, except there was one problem. My server brought out my salad WITH my main course. He tried to correct it but it was the other staff who went the extra step to compensate for having to eat my main course before my salad. Excellent filet mignon. I highly recommend it.

Now my cup of team Gyro ? was no flavors not traditionaly made . Just meat and chopped up tomato and 2 mushrooms.
?‍?
Meat was tender but not even salt and pepper . Flaming cheese ? was not what I expected at all nice show but not for my r tongue ?.
Chicken noodle soup tasted like straight out of a can super salty .
Just my opinion. If I am. Going to spend my money it has to count .

1st time here. Had a last-minute family get-together. They put us in a private room, our server was wonderful, and we couldn't ask for better . Thank you so much.

Not a good place to host an event. Communicating with the event manager was extremely frustrating. After providing a list of 6 items for our guests to choose from, I got daily phone calls and emails asking the same questions over and over again and I was asked to change the menu multiple times.
Then we arrived to find they gave us different size tables. We were told we would get 10 tops but instead we were given a mixture of 10 and 8 tops. 2 different sizes and heights.
And worse of all ...Before guest arrived the waitress asked if we'd like to put any restrictions on the drinks we would be offering and we said we would like to limit it to 2 house wines, no mixed drinks. But the waitress completely ignored what was said allowing guests to order whatever they wanted, including champagne and mixed drinks, and numerous drinks per person! I caught her on the hallway and reminded her what we had talked about asking her to let guests know from here on our but she responded loudly so guests could hear with "What do you want me to do about it now? This puts me in a very uncomfortable spot". We will not be back

Since they didn't care to respond to their email...
My husband and I have been going to your establishment for many years now. It's easily been our most favorite place to drive and recommend to others. A jewel of Stockton really.

There are many lovely new changes recently. The new vases with the olive trees/ lights, beautiful. The new plate ware, love. The new menu, clean and simple.

The not so nice changes would be the prices and changes to the loved dishes/proportions. It is painfully obvious to us all these days that inflation has affected every aspect of life; but the recent experience and charges we had Wednesday night are still bothersome to me. Large hummus at $11 ok sure, $37 for almost no pistachio crusted salmon (which online says $31) makes no sense, I personally have always felt it is skimpy on the burr blanc sauce and always ask for extra on the side which now costs me $1.50 seriously? Then when did the side Ceasar salad go up to $4? How are the ingredients that much more expensive than the included entree salad? How does such an expensive entree not include a small salad?! Then to top it all off $12 for the skinniest piece of silk mouse cake we've ever been served. We feel so ripped off. It feels so stingy and greedy. Despite the food tasting good, it's left a terrible taste in our mouth.

If this is going to be the new normal, we may have to find a new favorite place to eat. We work hard for our money too and definitely don't want to feel ripped off when we decide to splurge on a nice night out.

I attended with RPEA...retired State City and County employees organization. I've resided in Stockton for almost 20 yrs...this was my first visit to this restaurant and the food was delicious. My chicken breast was a bit dry but I cut it in small pieces and mixed it with my rice which was also delicious. I meet with my family to eat together every month. This month we will meet at Bill's in Pleasanton. For the month of September this will be my treat to my children who reside in Bay Area..

Called and placed an order ahead of time, still waited 40 minutes for one salad. The restaurant was near empty, waiters were standing around on their cell phones talking about barhopping, and the kitchen staff was standing around watching TV instead of fulfilling orders. Food is OK, but the Service is deplorable. Not worth it.

I ordered their steak sandwich. It was almost like instead of heading out, they boiled it. ZERO taste. I also ordered an IPA. The waitress brought a non-alcoholic one. I won't be going back.
