Our waitress was very good with suggestions, explaining the dishes, and providing all around good service. Being the first day open after Labor Day, the restaurant was not crowded and was not overly noisy which we greatly appreciated. Dinner starts with amuse bouche which was salmon rillettes. This was a favorite of mine and the chef's version were really good. Next was bread served with butter and an oil and garlic mixture. The bread was delicious. I'd like to note here that vegan options are available for amuse bouche and bread but I did not order them because I am not vegan. However, this did not matter as the chef sent them out for us to try. I found them on par with the non-vegan versions. I had the roasted tri-colored carrots appetizer and my wife went with the sautéed trumpet mushrooms. We both thought they were good. I tasted the mushrooms and while I did find them good, I preferred the carrots. For our mains, my wife went with the duck breast and I chose the Red Cat Farm ancient grains and lentil stuffed pepper. Obviously the duck breast was not off the vegan menu; my wife found the inclusion of duck on the regular menu too much to resist. The stuffed pepper was beyond delicious! I had never eaten anything like what the chef created and the various flavors meshed perfectly. My wife liked the duck and I tried a bite and I definitely preferred the pepper. On a side note, the duck seemed to be done more than the suggested medium rare. The pepper should probably move to the regular menu for the late summer months - it's that good! We did not try the vegan desserts. Instead, my wife went with ice cream and I went with the warm funnel cake sundae because it had strawberry ice cream in it. The meal was quite good. I give it a 4.5 out of 5 (rounded up to 5 for this review).

The wings were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of lemon pepper, and the shrimp udon noodles were flavorful, comforting, and generously portioned. Even though it was a busy festival day, everything came out quickly. A special shoutout to our server, Daniel, who was friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient. He made sure we had everything we needed without missing a beat, even with the restaurant being busy. If you're looking for a casual spot with good food and fast service, especially during Musikfest, Team Apollo is definitely worth checking out.

The wait was a little longer than we'd expect but we believe they were understaffed for the New Year's. We started with the vegetable eggrolls that the table next to us ordered 2 rounds of, so we had experience that. Eggrolls had a great crisp and the inside melted in your mouth. The Asian dip doubled for this dish and the fries which I loved. The tomato soup was extra creamy along with grilled cheese & fries. Definitely a big dish for one sitting but the soup was top 5 our favorite. My chicken crab dish was delicious and packed a big seafood punch. Do wish it had more crab chunks within the cream sauce. Few big pieces of juicy chicken were submerged under delicious rice & asparagus. This meal was super filling & satisfying on many levels.

They check every box at 100%. Mario the owner and his staff go out of their way to ensure that every aspect of your experience is stellar. We were delayed for our reservation due to unforseen traffic traveling north on Rt 29. When we arrived the hostess informed us that we had lost our request for the same table in front of the fireplace which bummed us. Just as we were getting seated elswhere servers Karen and Tracey surprised us and moved us to our requested table. Thank you to Karen and Tracey for making that adjustment. Now our evening was set on a course for perfection and great memories and this stellar review. We both aligned on 2-course and would possible add 1 dessert later on based on what was available. Not as wonderful and tasty as our dishes were, we were told the fall menu was coming in a few days times. Before event talking about he menu selections, our servicer, Karen, surprised us with two champagne flutes to help us celebrate our special evening. I'm start by saying each dish was a work of art, plating presenation. The flavor profiles, the perparation and cook timing. All works of art. The kitchen started us out with a 3-part amuse-bouche (single bit sized morsels) before appetizers. Each was so lovely prepared and presented. Was a delightful way to start the evening's meal. We then opened with a potato soup with pieces of lobster and the Northridge Salad (with a goat cheese swap in for the gargonzola cheese). Both were terrific starters. For our second course we orded the Shrimp Monfongo for my wife and the Farm'ers Short Rib for me. Both again, a work of culinary art. The platting presentation was such that we didn't want to disturb anything, the chef's platting orchestra was like a symphony. The shrimps cook just perfectly and my gosh, how meaty and large size. Large is not always good, but I tell you, Norhtridge's secret weapon is their food sources for their unique ingredients. No knife was need for the short rib, the meet melted off the bone. My only wish would had been more of the fabulous cut up vegatables to enjoy throughout the course. Of course we had just enough room to share one dessert, ladyfingers with fresh fruit.... while not our first choice as the Mango Cheescake was already finished, this was a suitable replacement and our cappuccinos were a perfect way to end our experience at Northridge. WOW an incredible second visit experience. Thank you Mario for remembering us as you walked through the dining room and to the staff for making our 26th, a most memorable and tasty experience.

I was very impressed by the way we were greeted by Noelle at the door. A little bit of history of the renovated barn turned into a cozy, well-appointed Stockton area BYOB, some smiling chat and then we were off to our table to what we were looking forward to since we made our reservation. I love the idea of the prix fixe menu with a well-rounded selection (fish, seafood, meat, and vegan choices, etc.) Apps The potato soup had a nice smooth consistency, full pieces of lobster meat, a touch of truffle. 4 stars The tuna tartare was fresh but seriously underwhelming. Not much flavor nor pizazz there. I wish I got something else. 2 stars Entrees The seafood ramen noodle thingy, explained to us that it was a newer item in the menu and very popular was the highlight of my evening. The stock is everything in ramen dishes and this was no exception. Excellent lobster stock and perfectly prepared shrimp, cooked to a snap when bitten into. The marinated egg was very different and very good. It had a nice strong tingling taste. 5 stars The braised short rib was tender but dry. However, when mixed with the au jus and pureed carrots on the plate, it livened and juiced the meat up. The roasted broccolini was inedible. Totally undercooked, chewy and a waste of a fine veg. 3 stars Dessert The peach and biscuit napolean presented itself fantastically, was looking forward to the first bite out of this jar of delight and then fell flat. The peaches were hard and tasted like unripen fruit. The honey and syrup and the sweetness of the whipped cream was all one can taste. Very disappointed and a waste of calories. 2 stars Service Hostess 5 stars, wait people 4 stars. It would have been 5 stars, or perfect, if we didn't have to wait 25 minutes for our dessert which was ordered pre-dinner. It's not like it had to be baked fresh, I didn't think. Maybe they had to whip up and bake the biscuits. And also, this was the type of place where you have to chase down your server to get your check and then once again chase them down to take your card. Now, would I go back? If I was in the area, maybe. Some of the other apps and entrees I saw being served looked very interesting. But that was the main problem I had here. Presentation was creative and art-like but some dishes ended up not living up to the vision.
