Tried the steak pasta and my husband had the seafood pasta. Both were delicious. I would change a few things in the steak pasta. I would have bigger pieces of asparagus, more mushrooms and a little bit less sauce. I feel this would make it perfect. read more

My wife and I came to celebrate our 3 year anniversary by dinning at Dewz Restaurant. We wanted to try something new, and I'm glad we landed here. The food was delicious, and the dining experience was fantastic. From the moment you step inside, the staff greets you warmly and provides exceptional service all throughout. We were very impressed with the menu, and steak with sides was next level. I definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

We made a reservation to have a nice dinner. Staff was super nice. The drink menu was limited. We had two appetizers one was good the other was okay. We got the pasta because it said homemade pasta, it was good. I just didn't feel like I would want to come back, the price to food flavor was a solid 3. It is very nice inside. I will try this place in a different season, maybe the menu will be different. read more

No they canceled our reservation The day of our reservation they called and said they are short staffed and can't open the restaurant, it's kind of strange reason to cancel. It was very disappointing because it was our anniversary read more

I recently had a dinner event here. The restaurant was lovely. Warm and welcoming staff, beautiful decor and ambiance. Large private dining room for events. And the food was so good. My favorite the steak, and then the chocolate dessert. was delicious read more

Excellent!!! Food is fresh and put together well. One of the better fine dining experiences in the Central Valley area. Or Modesto area for that matter. It's a dress casual or better type place and be sure to make a reservation. A goto romantic date night spot for sure. read more

My partner and I have visited Dewz several times this year, and it has quickly become one of our favorite fine‑dining spots in town. It's definitely on the higher‑end, but every visit reminds us why it's worth it. The service is polished and attentive, the food is consistently exceptional, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between elegant and inviting. We love that such a refined dining experience is right here locally. We usually Uber over, enjoy a few glasses of wine, and settle in for a beautifully prepared dinner. And no matter how full we are, we always make room for dessert--their crème brûlée has become our must‑order finale and it never disappoints. If you're looking for a place to celebrate, indulge, or simply enjoy a truly memorable night out, Dewz delivers every single time. read more

Wow, what a great experience! I had made reservations for a birthday dinner on a Friday night. I was a little nervous not knowing what to expect since it was my first time dinning at Dewz. For food, we ordered a Brie and two pasta dishes along with drinks. The Brie was simply amazing. I loved the combo with the strawberry puree and the pistachios. It had a creamy, sweet but crunchy taste to it. The pastas were good as well. Mine had a chili oil base to it whereas my bf had a beef broth to it. The drinks had the right amount of alcohol but not overly sweet either. Service was good too. Water was always constantly served and our waitress would explain everything that was in our dishes including options for desserts. One thing that caught me off guard is they will fold your napkin for you if you were to leave it sorta in a balled up status if you go use the bathroom. Def fancy fancy The interior has an intimate atmosphere to it with its dim lighting and dark furniture coloring. Good option to take someone for a special occasion, or maybe first date (if you want to give a great impression lol). This place is pricey so expect to spend somewhere near the 3 digits to 4 digits amount. My one take away is for what you are paying for, I kinda wished they gave a little complementary birthday cake. Even if it's bite sized. Overall, I would definitely come back again, only on a special occasion though. read more

We just love DEWZ! We've spent a few of our milestone anniversary here. The Drinks are always on spot, food cooked to perfection and the staff is very friendly and professional. In fact they take our photo to mark special occasions. Very sweet. The Atmosphere and ambiance are quiet and quaint. Which is nice. We've been going to DEWZ for several years and look forward to returning. Cheers read more

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Modesto. It is difficult to name a restaurant in Modesto with better service or better quality food. Dewz is at the top of its class. Keep in mind, that level of quality demands top dollar; but then again, good service and quality is always worth it. One reviewer described Dewz as "sublime" which means inspiring awe or "well-meaning ineptitude that rises to absurdity" (M.S. Dworkin) I describe Dewz as among the best the valley has to offer. The lunch menu is fantastic. Terrific sandwiches including philly steak sandwiches with delicious grilled steak and a very good selection of salads. There are also entrées. Prices range from about $11 to $18. Dinner - oh, dinner, - is something special. read more

Dewz is a great place to have dinner while in Modesto. You would think there were not a lot of great places to dine in such a small town, but there is, and this is one. We got there a tad early and had no wait at all. The place is very pretty and it is kept in great shape. Even the bathrooms are nice. They have a full bar and a small wine list, which is nice. Make a reservation for weekends. The service is here is great. You are seated and someone is right with you. They check on you, but you are never rushed, and your food comes as ordered and hot. We love all their items. I love their simple salad, it is just a great way to start dinner. Their starter calamari is great with spicy marinara aioli lemon wedges. We also love their pork belly with Korean BBQ steamed bun cucumber jalapeno cilantro daikon-carrots, it is just great. I hate having to pay for bread and their bread is $12.00, to thank I say no thank you. Also, baked brie is also great, but very filling. It has strawberry preserve pickled strawberries pistachio walnut thyme blackberry and balsamic toasted focaccia bread--now I have bread. We love all their steaks, but especially their Prime tomahawk, pan roasted and served with seasonal vegetables, all sauces and your choice of starch. It is huge. The price depends on the size and what the market price is, You will love it. Get it rare. The prices are up there, but reasonable considering what all you get and the wonderful service. Have a great time. read more

Came here to celebrate the SO's birthday and had a nice evening with lots of food at Dewz! Located off J Street and 15th (next to the Tru-Fitness Gym), Dewz Restaurant was one of my bookmarked restaurants to go to for fancy dinner, and they were legit! Curious, I learned that Dewz is named after the original owner's brother who passed away from leukemia (RIP). I made reservations through Yelp about a week prior and this restaurant in particular does require credit card information to confirm the reservation since they do charge a $ amount if you cancel 24 hours before. The inside is definitely intimate - dim lighting, maroon fabric walls lined against washed out brick and floor to ceiling mirrors gave the illusion of a larger space. Classic instrumental versions of modern day hits softly play (we caught a classicized Black n Yellow and What Was I Made For during our visit lol). We ordered: Dreamsicle cocktail - very cool presentation with the vaped-up bubble encasing the drink, and very fun to pop. It tasted just like an Orange Dream Machine from Jamba Juice. Super sweet and perfect for someone who doesn't really enjoy the taste of alcohol (me). Baked peach brie - tasted just like a breakfast parfait! Also came with super buttery focaccia 43 oz bone-in ribeye at Market Price of $256, we decided to top it with a blue cheese and bacon crust for an extra $5. Although I didn't really detect blue cheese, I liked the seasoned breadcrumbs that gave the meat a more herby flavor (didn't really need the horseradish, Calabrian chimichurri, or mushroom sauces that were included). The meat also came with veggies and our choice of side; we went with the miso-bacon mac and cheese. I can definitely taste the miso, super creamy and satisfying. Side of loaded thick-cut fries - probably my favorite side dish, the fries were more like Lincoln logs-thick and kept their crispiness even when drenched in cheese sauce and sprinkled with bacon Kind of disappointed that they do not do comped birthday desserts - not to sound entitled - just an fyi for any future patrons looking to celebrate with something like that. Heather waited on us throughout the night and she was amazing - our water cups were never empty and she explained everything on the menu. She was even kind to inform us that our main entrée usually takes an hour to prep (!!). We timed it ourselves and found that our steak and sides came approx. 1.5 hour after order placement. So make sure you account for that if you have other plans after dinner (no movies for us to catch, fortunately!) Overall, a really nice dinner for a special occasion. Definitely budget for this! read more

This was an outstanding experience. We went here for the first time on Valentines day this year. The food was excellent and we will definitely be back. I highly recommend this place. It has great atmosphere and great service. It is a great place to go and celebrate a special occasion. It is not a place to go if you are on a tight budget but they work hard to make it worth every penny. read more

Came here for an early Father's Day dinner. The ambiance was cozy. The wait staff are pleasant and knowledgeable. Since it was our first time there, we ordered several dishes from appetizer to salad, pasta and steak. It was on the pricey side but it was well worth it. The steak was perfectly cooked. The salad was fresh. The seafood pasta was al dente with a generous amount of seafood. They have a good selection of wines to pair with the dishes. There were only 2 of us and we still had enough leftover for another meal. read more

Went for a wine pairing dinner and to secretly celebrate my wife's B-day. I say secretly because we did not announce it to our server or table. Upon arrival the host opens the door and greets you right away. Also when you leave, they open the door for you too. Service is AMAZING! From entering the restaurant and to the very end, they're great! Every pairing was flawless! 1. Heirloom tomatoe Caprese burrata with honey and white balsamic glaze 2. Lobster tail with Peach gastrique fennel & apple foam was an experience on its own and had my taste buds erupting. I want to return just for this dish. 3. Followed by a breaded baked Brie blackberry bacon agrodolce thyme hazelnut pickled mustard seed...yes there's no comas because that's how it tasted! 4. Then a full 6 oz Zabuton cooked to absolute medium rare perfection! 5. Finished with a Chocolate mouse with cocoa nibs and olive oil...light fluffy and the olive oil really brought out the cocoa Throughout the dinner the wait staff truly creates the experience by cleaning the table very often and checking up on you. Although we didn't announce it was a celebration for my wife's Bday the staff over heard it and brought out an additional birthday fruit desert dish with a candle to help make the evening unforgettable. One of the best experiences! read more

Dewz Restaurant - New American Near Me - Modesto, California

I can not say enough about this place. First of all, we had gotten there slightly less than an hour from them closing. It wasn't busy. We were greeted right away. The place is pretty fancy with dim lighting. The menu had a few options that we both liked. It wasn't overwhelming with tons of options, which was a great thing. The service was impeccable. Staff was amazingly friendly and courteous. They explained the whole menu to us. Went over in detail about the chefs specials. We ordered the bone in ribeye with potato puree and mac n cheese, and for dessert, the table side creme brulee. They were very attentive to us. Our drinks were constantly refilled, and they kept us updated about when our orders would be ready. When the food came out, the presentation was awesome. The taste was delicious. They had quality meats, sauces, and sides. It was absolutely amazing. By this time, it had already passed their closing time, which I hate to be that couple making others work late. But we also weren't the only party that was there. They still offered us dessert. Explained each item again. We tried the creme brulee that was prepared table side. Again, that was amazing. During this whole time, we had different servers checking up on us, and one gentleman even took the time to explain the history of the background, as well as the source of their quality meats and what makes them unique. Overall, it was a great experience and a fantastic meal. We went when it wasn't busy so there was a lot of parking available. However, this is in downtown so I suspect during normal hours, parking might be more scarce. I will definitely be returning as I heard their cocktails are even more impressive. read more

Nice atmosphere, great food (the pork belly appetizer was delectable). Although we were seated relatively fast, it took 25 minutes before our server made it to the table. After that service was solid. The owner was there and acknowledged the delay and offered to buy our dessert (without a complaint from us). He even went so far as to have a brief conversation with us and make sure we enjoyed our experience. We'll be back. read more

Dewz Restaurant - Prawn Bacon Pasta - New American Near Me - Modesto, California

First time going back to this restaurant since they changed hands many years ago. Used to think it was amazing. This experience was very mediocre. Menu seemed very limited. Nothing was tempting to try. Took a solid hour to get our main dish even though it wasn't busy. The prices were extremely high and the food just ok. The filet mignon was $73. Cooked fine but nothing special for that price. Presentation of food was lacking. Seemed like the new owners were trying to be a fancy restaurant, and they got the high prices right, but not the execution. You would expect certain details from a high end restaurant that were missing. It wasn't that busy for a weekend and I can see why. We won't be back. read more

I'm incredibly disappointed and saddened by the lack of compassion I experienced at Dewz. I had been looking forward to celebrating the holidays with friends there, but I had to cancel my reservation just 4 hours in advance because of an unexpected medical emergency involving my ailing mother-in-law. When I called to explain the situation, I was met with a curt response: "Rules are rules." Despite my circumstances, they still charged me a $100 fee. During the holidays--a time that's supposed to be about kindness and understanding--this response felt especially disheartening. Life happens, and I canceled as soon as I was made aware of my mother-in-law's diagnosis. A little compassion could have gone a long way. Instead, I'm left feeling like this restaurant values their policies more than their patrons. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place! This review has been a long time coming. My boyfriend took me here for my birthday. He wanted to make it special, so he had arranged with the manager to come early WHEN THE RESTAURANT WAS CLOSED (they opened just to let him set up my birthday surprise!!). He came by and picked me up, and when we got to the restaurant, they had presents waiting for me on the table. But the foood....The entire experience was fantastic! One of the best meals I've ever had! We had the tomahawk, which they encrusted with gold flakes. We got some of the sides and the chef even sent out some extra ones for us to sample because it was my birthday. The manager (? ) - I forget his name but he had long red hair - worked so hard, and did so much, to make this the absolute best experience for me. The service was amazing, and all the extra touches they did made this a birthday to remember! My guy had ordered a gluten-free cake from a bakery and tried to write on it with frosting before delivering it to the restaurant. He messed it all up, and it got smushed in the process of driving it over. When he stopped by before picking me up, he asked the staff if there was some way they could make it look better. And as you can see from the photo, it was gorgeous! The attention to detail, the above and beyond service, the amazing food, the ambience... This place is the best in the area! read more

The menu is too tight-- with limited options and a rather limited protein selection. I was definitely missing the specials on this anniversary dinner. No secondary seasonal fish or pasta course that featured chicken or beef without mushrooms, which is a big allergy for people. My prawn pasta meal lacked flavor and salt and the sauce was not reduced. It was more like a broth. I also didn't enjoy the bread. It was very flavorless. Kind of reminded me of buttered and baked kings Hawaiian rolls-- not scratch artisan bread like last year. Downhill trending food in my opinion. The karage chicken bites were very good although the Chef acted like he was running out of sauce when he sauced them and left half of the plate completely dry and unseasoned. Tje New York was pricey at $80 but perfectly cooked and seasoned so kudos there. The service is very good and well timed-- I was just overall dissatisfied with the food. When you ask for salt and sauce you know the chef needs to step up his/her game. Revolving seasonal Specials are a MUST with a tight low option menu like this. Probably not on my list of "great restaurants" if this is the trend of 2025 Dewz. read more

After standing at the bar waiting for at least 8-9 minutes with only two other people at the bar that already had their drinks, and the 'bartender' was making some other drinks but didn't make eye contact with me at all finally my waitress walked up and asked me what I wanted. I said a Drunken Monkey (spiced rum, coconut rum, some bitters, and orange juice) he still didn't make eye contact and quickly said he didn't know what it was and when I said what the ingredients were, he said he didn't have them. Very poor customer service on his part. And still never made eye contact. RUDE! read more

We have been coming to Dewz since shortly after the original owners opened and have had many delicious meals from both the old and the new crew. But I do think that they may have lost their minds. The food remains good and the service excellent, but they are extremely overpriced for the Modesto market. They are easily the most expensive in town, but sadly, not even close to having the best food. Heck, the last time we were there they had $75 TACOS on the menu. I asked what made these tacos so special and all the server could tell us was that they were delicious pork belly tacos. Hmmm... I don't mind paying for a good meal experience, but if we're in Modesto and paying over $1K for a party of 4, you need to leave me impressed with the experience. Sadly, that is not the case these days. read more
