    We tried the restaurant (formerly Chef's of New York). Limited menu, but the kitchen was very good at working with my food issue. The decor and serve were awesome. Very nice having live music.

    Cool ambiance

    So chill. Great to visit after The State. just saw Back to Black. Walked down from the State Theatre. Aaand...just discovered Rainer water beer!! So so cold and perfect for triple digit heat in Modesto!! New favey fave!

    Poetry night

    The ramen was not good but the little pot sticker type things were very good and so was the latte with brown sugar. I loved the vibe of the place... cute decor and they host poetry Slam nights with backup music. There were some very talented writers and I would definitely go back for the coffee and entertainment. P.s. there's the lofi bar next door where you can order drinks from and bring into the restaurant too.

    Best lemon drops in town!!! Tried a few different bars and this place makes the BEST Lemon drop!!! service is always great and the drinks are too!

    Dining area at 5:00 when doors open, looking towards the lounge from our window seat at the corner of J and 14th. Beautiful!

    Delicious food and drink in a great space--I highly recommend LoFi. The service and location are top notch, too.

    The new remodel is gorgeous. I love that they have old movies and videos playing on a projector and live DJs. Shawna is the best bartender!! She makes drinks that will blow your mind.

    A great speakeasy bar. My favorite type of bar. Super chill vibes. Couches and lighting set the mood. And the bartender makes very good classic cocktails. A lot of people suggest taking selfies in the bathroom as well. I guess the bathroom has the best lighting for selfies.

    Great vibes and great drinks. The happy hour was just a plus. The staff always makes the best recommendations.

    Okay, downside first, the salad was huge! Upside, it was so delicious I had to stop myself from eating every last bite. The service was attentive without being obnoxious. The restaurant is cute, like an old-fashioned diner and reminded me of the retro Graffiti theme that Modesto is famous for.

    Just okay. Slow service / expensive drinks / overrated. With so many other options in Modesto I probably would not go back.

Here, you order your food, grab a number, and find your own seat for the food to be brought out to you. We sat at a table outside to decide what to order. There were no menus available so we just had to search for it online before heading inside to order. Despite being third in line from the register, we had an extremely long wait to order. There was only one person running the register who also had to make the drinks, meaning the service incredibly slow. We wanted to order the five taco platter, garlic fries, chicken Caesar salad, and mimosa pitcher. Sadly, we were only able to get the pitcher and salad. The cashier told us "sorry, we aren't doing fries right now." Not doing fries? Every plate in the vicinity had fries on them. She said that because it was brunch hour, only food on the brunch menu could be ordered. We looked at the brunch menu again and literally saw garlic fries as an option as a side for the burgers/sandwiches. No where did it specify that you can't order off the other menu and both were available online. What bothered us about this is that we placed this order at around 1:50pm, and brunch ended at 2:00pm. I understand that we are not entitled to things on the lunch menu during brunch-time for items like the tacos, but considering the menu swap was less than 10 minutes away and they were quite literally were "doing fries" at the time, it didn't make much sense to us. The only food that we ended up ordering was the Chicken Caesar Salad. This one dish took a super long time to receive. By the time it was brought out, the three of us nearly finished the Mimosa pitcher. The waitress noticed we had no silverware and said she would go grab us some. Because of how the service had been going thus far, we placed a bet on whether or not the waitress would come back with the silverware. Surprise, surprise. She didn't. We had to go inside later and search for silverware ourselves. We weren't even able to get sharing plates which was upsetting since the waitress asked us if we would be sharing the salad. The salad itself looked delicious, but was bland. The dressing was missing that zing and zest that a Caesar dressing typically has. I do appreciate that is was a chopped salad, had avocado, and seasoned croutons. It is just unfortunate that it was lacking any flavor at all. The food prices are quite affordable for the quantity of food you receive though. This experience was disappointing because I was so optimistic about the place. The menu looked good, it had fun and casual vibes and a cool crowd of people. If Commonwealth worked towards better service practices, it would have been a more positive experience.

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.
