If you are in the Ripon area, do yourself a favor and go find A Matter of Taste. I've had lunch -…read moregreat burger, a few brunches - great eggs benidict, and a few dinners here and I have never been disappointed. The chef (she's not just the cook - she creates) is highly involved in the restaurant. Pro Tip: they usually have specials, so I recommend finding out about them, trying one, and enjoy it with the Pinot Noir they serve by the glass. It seems to go with everything!

We came for brunch - I had the Savory Dutch Baby which was excellent and my daughter had the linguicia skillet which she loved. Junior served us and as usual is most gracious and always checking to make sure everything is just right.

Late post from December!…read more I told my husband that I wanted some yummy pasta for dinner. So we drove and saw this restaurant and decided to try it out. I'm so happy that we stop here. Not only was the food delicious but the bartender and the regulars were very inviting. The vibe was giving older people, but we still enjoyed ourselves because everyone was so welcoming!

I recently had lunch here for the first time. I ordered the $24 fish and chips and my friend…read moreordered an $18 cheeseburger with french fries. Both of our french fries were definitely pre-cooked and then dropped in the fryer to finish them once we place the order, if you've ever worked in a restaurant, I'm sure you know that trick, it significantly changes the texture of the french fry. My fish was so battered and overcooked, the breading cut the inside of my mouth, and it was like chewing through a rock, I ended up having to use a knife and a fork to extract the overcooked fish inside. My friend tried to order his burger, medium rare, and was told by the waitress, they only do well done, usually a good indicator of untrained cooks or pre-cooked frozen burgers, which is exactly what it was, the color inside was an unusual gray color. Texture was super chewy, and his fries were the same as mine. 61 or $62 for fish and chips, a cheeseburger and a couple of iced teas and a decent tip, probably wouldn't stop there again.

It's a simple little spot nothing fancy inside but cute vintage vibes like the name lol Jasmine tea 5/5 my friend really enjoyed it Iced brown sugar latte 3/5 it was ok I did have to ask for a little more syrup and milk as it just tasted like bitter espresso. Bagel with ham egg and cheese 5/5 Bagel was fresh and perfectly toasted the eggs were seasoned well and everything else was good we split this and the bowl Açaí bowl was actually very tasty my only problem and reason for not giving 5 stars all around is that I have a nut allergy and specifically asked the girl if the bowl had any nuts in or on it she said no so I said there's no peanut butter or nuts in the granola? And again was told no. The granola does in fact have almond slivers in it luckily I am not so allergic I will die from it or need an epi pen I just usually break out in hives for a few hours and then I'm fine and typically it's more peanuts than other nuts anyway but working in a restaurant you really should be aware of what is in your foods that way someone doesn't have a bad reaction.

I live in Los Banos, but I was visiting Ceres yesterday and decided to make a totally…read moreout-of-the-way stop at Protein House in Modesto. I checked out the menu online beforehand so I'd know exactly what I wanted. Their website is colorful, vibrant, and super easy to read. When I arrived, I was greeted right away with a smile by the female behind the counter. I built my own chicken bowl with the Swole protein portion, brown rice, five different fresh veggies, and added avocado (worth the extra $2.00). I also ordered the Chocolate PB Crush protein shake. They were busy with in-store customers, DoorDash, and online orders, but my food was ready in about 10 minutes. When I got my bowl, I couldn't believe how big it was. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the shake was absolutely to die for. Even my two-year-old loved it - and he's a very picky eater. As an amateur bodybuilder who usually preps all of her own meals, it was such a relief to walk into a place and get a clean, macro-friendly meal without having to cook or bring my own food for the night. This place completely saved me. The environment was great, the bathrooms were clean, and the overall experience was excellent. This will always be a stop for me when I'm in town. Plus, I just found out there's a Turlock location, which is even closer to me in Los Banos - so that's a huge win. Highly recommend!

Last two times have been a huge let down. Again, I am a huge protein house fan and have been to…read moreprobably 10 different of their locations through out AZ, CA, Vegas, KS etc. This franchise is a let down now. I always order my bowl with no sauce and it came SLATHERED in sauce. Next time, paid extra for sweet potatoes and didn't get any. The bowl was SWIMMING in oil and I only ordered white rice and chicken, nothing that should have had oil. I've never seen so much oil in my life, I could seriously swirl it around at the bottom....

The inside is very classy chic with a Mexican twist . I went during the week so it was happy hour . Their happy hour is pretty sweet ! It's from Monday - Friday 4-6 pm, Dine-In Only . They offered $10 drinks and also $10 appetizers. I ended up getting their tacos de papa from their happy hour, which is two tacos, but they are very fulfilling. They're very delicious and I did not see them in the regular menu so if you go during happy hour, it's definitely a must try. I also ordered Jesse's favorite, which is a Chile that looks like a chille relleno, but it's not instead of the egg it has a cream sauce on top and inside it has ground beef . My dad ordered the fajitas which they came with a side of cilantro rice and beans and also all the fixings like guacamole and stuff. Let me tell you the fajitas meal was huge. You could definitely share it with somebody else. I have to say their portions are very generous. For drinks they have beers margaritas my mother had a Chavela, which is beer with lime. I'm not a big tequila fan, but they do have a full bar so I just changed the dirty linen drink for Gin instead of tequila and it was very delicious . The service everyone was really nice and attentive. Overall, we had a great dinner my family and I we had a lot of food and a lot of good laughs. I would definitely come back. I have to say I love their tacos de Papa and for them being on happy hour it's a win-win.

1 word - WOW! Came…read morehere 3/15. It was packed, but we got a table. Service was 10/10, super attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable - the whole staff, not just our waitress. My party was seated fairly quickly. Our waitress took all our orders by memory - we were a party of 8! I got the Chicken Marsala: Chicken, sauce, mixed veggies, mashed potatoes, and gravy. I started off with the mixed veggies - they were cooked soft, just how I like them. They were also flavorful! Not just regular ole steamed frozen veggies, they definitely were buttered and seasoned or something. Next, the mashed potatoes. I'm not a mashed potato connoisseur - matter of fact, I usually skip eating mashed potatoes when they're available. These mashed potatoes however were so flavorful! And it was not only the gravy doing all the talking, it was both the mash and the gravy. I was impressed! Lastly, the chicken Marsala. The chicken itself was cooked to perfection, moist on the inside & fully cooked - and with chicken breast, we all know how hard that is to accomplish. The sauce was incredible. I have never had any Marsala sauce as good as that. So much flavor, very savory. Altogether, the flavors worked together and worked perfectly. If only I wasn't an hour away, I would come here more often. I hope to be here again someday!

We ordered the Turkey Club and the Tri-tip sandwich. The menu stated that the club was piled with…read moreturkey, but in reality there was only 2 thin slice of turkey. Unfortunately the bread was not edible due to the taste of old grease. I simply discarded the bread and ate the 2 piece of turkey and bits of bacon. My son enjoyed the Tri-itip, but again the grilled bread tasted of old grease. He enjoyed the fries as well. The service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant, but at these prices, and the taste of old grease from the grill, I could not recommend this restaurant. The bill was $39.97 and we did not have anything to drink! Go democrats! Lol!

We ordered a variety of dishes, including the spinach and artichoke dip with cauliflower bread, fig & prosciutto tartine, mushroom & feta tartine, chorizo mac and cheese, beef bourguignon, catch of the day, and the long-range pork chop. Every single dish was a 10/10. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying dessert--we had the Ghirardelli chocolate chip cookie, butterscotch pudding, and crème brûlée, and they were all just as amazing. Our server, Vanessa, was exceptional. She guided us through the menu and drink options and gave fantastic recommendations. The cocktails were also delicious.

The atmosphere was super welcoming and laid-back, which made it really easy for all of us to just relax, talk, and enjoy being together.Since it's a tap house, we went for the beer and they had a really good selection to choose from.

Our waiter was Shayla she was so friendly and attentive. She made sure we were taken care of and added to the overall good experience. What stood out most was just how comfortable and enjoyable it felt. It's the kind of place you can go with family, laugh, and make good memories. I'll definitely be coming back again.

Lots of spots for instagrammable pictures. Service was nice and quick. Only one server and she was super friendly. I ordered the fish and chips- opted for the garlic fries. I was eager to try it after seeing pictures of it on IG. However I was left a bit disappointed. I got two pieces of fish that weren't very big. It was quite salty even with the lemon wedges. The garlic fries were decent, crispy but very greasy after taste. My best friend got the chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. She was even more disappointed. She said the sandwich was too dry and the fries were soggy. I'm not sure if I'd give this place a try again.

The restaurant is small but seems to fit just the right amount. They have a variety of items you can choose from whether you are looking for a noodle dish, rice, or curry. I've only had one bad experience which occurred a couple years ago when it took over an hour to get our food which at that point we didn't even get it because we had to leave. Other than that, I still continue to go back because I love the food so much. Highly recommend!

Restaurant was clean and decorated nicely.
