So many people wait to be seat and it’s not because of just the inviting atmosphere but because of the delicious food and desserts are prepared so well, taste so good and waitress are very attentive. Ashley was our waitress and she was very kind and social, just as the manager David was; creating a great experience for my family and I. We were able to taste the bread pudding dessert which no lie was actually the best! It’s a must have dessert after the great meal. The beer on the other hand, brewed and stores in house, looks tasty and has a wide variety to choose from. It’s a no brainer to take the family here, enjoy!
Restaurant is beautiful.Had salmon plate with rice pilaf. Asparagus was kinda thin could have been better. Fish was moist. Hoping service is better next time as there were only a few tables being served. I was thinking even if I decided to order dessert I may not have because it may take too long. Maybe next time.
Stopped by on a mellow afternoon and had a pint plus a flight. The pours were solid. They were 3 to 4 oz each depending on the beer. Bartender was cool, welcoming, and kept the energy relaxed without being too hands-on. The space itself stands out more than anything. The layout is dope, and the interior has that cozy-meets-industrial feel with high ceilings, brick walls, and big wooden tables. As for the beer, you can tell they take pride in their brewing, even if nothing really pushed the envelope. That said, their Raspberry Hefe and Lodi Lite were both solid — easy to drink and well-balanced. Overall, I’d come back. It’s not a destination spot if you’re chasing rare beers or crazy food, but if you’re in Lodi and want a chill brewery with good energy, this one does the job. With a few additions and updates to the beer menu or beers to go , it could easily be a 5-star spot.
Let me. Tell you me and my wife have went here for years. They have changed a few things. But everything is still delicious like always. Our waitress was very knowledgeable. I do forget her name, but she was honest. That she had not tried the fish tacos. So I stuck with something I knew. We did try the new sourdough appetizer, which was delightful. We also got the New York strip steak. And the blue cheeseburger, which was so good. It was wonderful. Also, if you're down to try their root beer, it's delicious. We are looking forward to going again soon.
The food we ordered was amazing! The chicken Marsala was delicious, the Fettuccine Alfredo was spot on, and the Cuban club was exquisite. Perfect place to grab some tasty food and refreshing beers after a 12-hour drive. If we ever stop in Lodi again, this will definitely be our go-to spot!
Great place first time here with my family and we had a great sever, Jenna. I love how friendly, patient, and great customer service she gave us. A big plus for me was when I asked a few questions about a few items she was great in answering them. It’s rare you find customer service that actually enjoy doing their job. She made us all very comfortable and like a family gathering. The food was great and we all didn’t wait.
Pretty cool atmosphere & bathrooms are pretty nice too. Definitely go in the off peak hours. It’ll get busy at times and service can take a while. The food is 4/5. The bruschetta is really good. My burger was a little overcooked, the fried mac & cheese 4/5. The French dip is also one of my favorites or the club sandwich. I don’t recommend the pork tacos…. zero flavor
