I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but this experience truly deserves it. Every time…read morewe visit Calivirgin Winery in Lodi, we always hope Rachelle is there--and that alone says a lot. She has a way of making each visit feel special without trying too hard. She's welcoming, genuine, and incredibly knowledgeable, but never overwhelming. Instead, she creates a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer and come back again. What really sets her apart is her consistency. It's not just one great visit--every time we've been there, she's gone above and beyond with the same positive energy and attention to detail. Because of her, this winery has become our go-to spot. I even celebrated my 50th birthday here, and it was such a memorable experience. All of my guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing Rachelle was--everyone felt taken care of, comfortable, and truly impressed with the service. The winery itself is beautiful, accommodating, and perfect for gatherings, which made the celebration even better. On top of that, the entire team at Calivirgin is fantastic. Everyone we've interacted with has been friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming, which really adds to the overall experience. The wine is excellent, the setting is great, and the people are what truly make this place stand out for us. We'll absolutely keep coming back, and a big reason for that is Rachelle.

We stood 6+ people deep line of customers waiting to be acknowledged. There were a lot of other employees working... walking past us and chilling. I guess front desk was not a priority to have multiple people covering or filling in. I finally just asked if we could seat ourselves, which i was told I could go to bars. We ultimately had a good time and Sophia was good to us at the bar. As a student & ptomoter of "efficiency" & "customer service", i would love to impart some wisdom in these areas, to help your business thrive. Good & tasty products!

The Italian sausage was yummy and cooked perfectly. The eggs and potatoes paired well with the biscuits. The combo #2 was great. The oatmeal pancakes were really good and had a nice sweetness.

The ambience provides a warm diner experience.

It should not be that challenging and something that should be able to be done online - an introverts worst nightmare. So many people, so crowded, so much - the pizza. People rave about the dessert and some appetizers but this is a pizza place.. sorry, but I don't care about the other things if the main focus of the resturant is mediocre. Especially for the price - rude staff and slow service - at this point they should just consider relocating as this place is a major draw for Lodi locals and is always elbow to elbow and busy Tips: - extremely crowded and difficult parking - make a reservation on resy - get there early, before opening, if you don't have a reservation

We were greeted and seated promptly after arriving. The restaurant is decorated in vintage paintings and furniture, a large brick oven for pizzas and a cute outdoor patio with additional seating. Our server was very attentive, ensured our drinks were topped off and we were satisfied with our orders. We ordered a pizza, wings & mozzarella sticks as starters. I ordered the Tri Tip Green Chili Melt which was really good, others in the group ordered, wings, fish & chips, chicken caprese sandwich & the French Dip. All of our food & drink were delicious & our service was top notch. We enjoyed our dining experience at Dancing Fox and plan to dine here again in the future.

If we are just judging everything by the food and ambience, five stars. There I got that out of the…read moreway. Food is fantastic. We got the foccicia bread basket as an appetizer and it was really good, herb, olive oil, soft bread like a sponge. The chicken pot pie was excellent, full of flavor, great crust and good filling. I got the French dip, it was probably one of the best I had in a while. The au jus was the best part, thick, flavorful along with a strong creamy horseradish. Service............. Not so much. For a big place that was maybe 40% occupied, it was soooooooooooooooooo slow. One server from what I see, 2 bussers, and 5 others standing around chatting. Took a good 30 mins to get seated (there was tables available), though we got to go to their tasting room, and got a bottle of wine; another 20 mins to get the server's attention after getting seated and probably another 40 for the food to come. That was probably the most irritating.

If you're looking for a venue for a birthday party, bridal shower, baby shower, anniversary celebration, retirement party, family reunion, or just a large gathering with friends and family, I highly recommend checking out Block 21. From the very beginning, Evonne was incredibly easy to work with. Communication was quick, planning was stress-free, and they made the entire process seamless. We hosted a private after-hours bday wine tasting for our guests, which made the celebration feel extra special. The venue is beautiful and welcoming, with plenty of parking, comfortable indoor seating, outdoor seating, and fire pits that made for the perfect atmosphere on a beautiful summer evening. Our guests loved being able to spread out, relax, and enjoy themselves. The wines were a huge hit with our group. My family absolutely loved the Symphony (what I like to call a "beginner's wine" because it's so approachable and easy to enjoy). My personal favorite was the Zinfandel, with the Cabernet as a close second. The Red Blend and Syrah were also excellent. Honestly, all of their reds were fantastic. While I'm not typically a white wine drinker, I appreciated the variety they offer. One of the things I appreciated most was how easy everything was. Fast responses, great communication, beautiful venue, wonderful hosts, and a memorable experience for our guests. We will absolutely be back for future events and are already looking forward to trying their sparkling wines ( coming soon!). If you're considering a venue for your next celebration or group outing, put Block 21 at the top of your list. You won't be disappointed! Let em know your fellow Yelper sent ya

We spent the day wine tasting in Lodi while on vacation. It rained the entire time we were here,…read morebut it didn't stop us from enjoying our time here or the wine. :) First impressions were good. They offered a beautiful outdoor patio seating and indoor wasn't bad either. We grabbed a seat at the bar while we waited for our reservation at Oak Farm down the street. We were greeted by Hal and the owner of this newer family run winery. They were both super friendly and welcoming. Block 21 wasn't here the last time I was in Lodi for wine and we were so happy that we started here. I look forward to coming back in the future. Everyone was so hospitable and their wines left a lastly impression. For a four year old winery, I should have bought more bottles. We had two of their "Limited Production flights,". They waived their $15 tasting fee, with purchase of a bottle. We loved their cabernet franc and viognier. I enjoyed all of their wines of their limited production list even their Rosé and personally I'm not typically a Rosé drinker, but enjoyed this one. I loved hearing the story of how they make tempranillo here. I love this Spanish wine and anyone who claims to make a good one, I'll try it. Hal was our favorite. We could have hung out with him all day. Thank you for your hospitality! If I had any regrets about this Lodi trip it was not spending more time at Block 21, our driver arrived earlier than expected. If you're visiting Lodi and like good wine and great service, come check out this beautiful vineyard. I'll be back next year and we hope to see you all again.

I'll get right to it... This place is great! However, if…read moreyou're a bit of a food snob - maybe a little particular (like I am...), you might not think so when you first walk in. I had hesitations. It was pretty empty, all eyes on sports, no one greeted me for a while, the table needed a dust-off. I had expectations - like that the vegetarian burrito should have vegetables (this one is just rice, beans, onion and cilantro...). I thought that maybe since they have shrimp and enchiladas, that they would make a shrimp enchilada - they won't. The have beer, no wine, no margs. I was a hungry pescatarian, getting more anxious - but I stuck to the plan, and I'm glad I did. What I didn't understand was the authenticity. The rest doesn't matter. Yes, I was having a minor melt-down, so I kept things basic. Just cheese enchiladas. I was resolved to be disappointed. I was NOT. The enchiladas were EPIC. I asked for more sauce because I wanted to take a bath in it. I usually skip rice, I ate it all - so much flavor. The beans too - too delicious to be vegetarian - so I didn't ask, and I'll never regret. This place is legit - and I am sorry I ever doubted. I also tried my companions chile relleno, which I usually don't care for - and I LOVED IT. My other companion had carne asada, which I did not sample - but he said it was delightful. Yeah, I've got some LA attitude from time to time, but this place beats most of my LA haunts on flavor. So stick to the basics, don't be a snob, and you'll be in for a real treat.
