    Espresso martini
    Silvia R.

    We decided to try this place after walking around downtown trying to kill time. I'm so glad we did. It was a Sunday around 2pm and it was a little busy but we were still greeted right away and sat down outside as we requested. There is parking all around but since it is downtown it does get busy where you might have to walk but nothing too crazy. The restaurant is nice and clean and looks very elegant. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. We ended up ordering the wings, and the short rib fried tacos. And after seeing a few customers having this drink we decided to order a coffee martini. Well the wings were absolutely delicious and crispy just like I like them. I was a little confused about the tacos when I took a bite and they were practically frozen but all the toppings were on them. I waited for a server to walk by and asked him if they were supposed to be like that and he said no so he took them back to the kitchen. The waitress did come by and I told her that I had just sent them back and she was also confused since she's the one that recommended them to us. She did apologize and told us they were making them. We got our espresso martini and it was so delicious. We were a little hesitant because we have had a bad one in the past at another restaurant but this one did not disappoint. Our tacos finally and back out and this time they were so hot and crunchy and so delicious. I was a little disappointed that we had to wait longer to get them that we almost just cancelled them because we had to go. But I'm glad we were patient. But honestly I do think maybe a discount should have been given or something just to make it right. But either way we will be back to try other stuff on the menu.

    Hey there Party People Recently had lunch at The Market Tavern with family. It had a really good vibe with dark wood giving it a vintage feel. Great outside cafe style seating as well. We had multiple drinks and meals. Everything was very good. The Wine Spritz was elegant with a beautiful flower adding a touch of classs. We had a Michelada de Mexico which was a meal in itself The meals ranged from Carnitas Chilaquiles to Quinoa Salad. Everything was tasty and delightful. Lots or varied options for everyone in the party. A big peeve of mine is having an empty water it tea glass. The wait staff was on it which I loved never had an empty glass. This place had the whole package...good food, drinks, and service. Be kind to one another

    Very happy there is now a Market Tavern in Lodi. The food and service are consistently good and it's a great place to meet up with a group of friends. I had brunch for the first time on my most recent visit and enjoyed both the food and service. I do wish they had a slightly larger menu selection. Also to note, if you come with a stroller they may ask you to park it in the front of the restaurant.

    I've been to the Stockton location before, so I was happy to finally get a reservation. Our server was amazing, very attentive. Our food and drinks came out quickly for a busy Saturday evening. Standout: the braised short ribs. The meat was so tender, and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. Dessert: the cheesecake was a great choice, not too sweet, the guava sauce complimented it really well. This is a great place for a date night.

    From the minute I walked in the staff was so friendly and so helpful. I accidentally made reservations for the wrong day, but the host Haley accommodated to my friends and I and we were still able to eat and enjoy our evening there! We ordered a few drinks and they were delicious and the food was TOP TIER! 10/10 so good! Thank you for this amazing experience :)

    Espresso martini

    We decided to try the new market tavern in Lodi. We had a reservation and were seated outside. The cars on the road were loud and it was not always pleasant. There was a man standing across the street playing music and that was rather nice when I could hear him. Service was spotty. Had to wait awhile for food, water, after dinner drinks, and dessert. My husband enjoyed his dinner. My chicken Parmesan was okay. It did not taste like freshly breaded but more like pre frozen entree. I would not order it again. We were there for quite awhile. We saw friends go in after us and leave before us due to our slow service. I almost felt like they forgot about us outside. I love market tavern in Stockton and have always had great service and food there. Maybe this was just an off night. I will definitely come back and give them a chance to improve this so-so Yelp rating. I will definitely request to be seated inside!

    Chicken Marsala with "green" beans
    Kim M.

    Very tasty food. Nice ambience & great service by Jose. Old fashioned was very watered down and the fruit crisp dessert was delicious, but lacked any "crisp." Note my photo ... not the best green beans (90% were the palest green) considering we are in sunny California in May.

    Grilled cornbread
    Julie M.

    We made reservations and highly recommend it. This location gets busy early. Our server was very attentive. The chocolate martini was devine. The table order consisted of a burger, soup, pasta and it was all tasty. The soup wasn't on the sweeter side. The burgers were thick and the bacon even thicker. The ambiance was loud and busy but with elegance.

    Great drinks!
    Saketh A.

    Great food! Great drinks! Similar vibe to the market tavern in Stockton. It has the similar menu. I'd recommend the apps! The the cornbread, something I always get is fire af, best app to get. I'd get the herbivore drink! Nice light and crisp. Surprisingly enough the tacos were good. Friendly quick service! I'd come again

    Cheesecake

    It is located in downtown Lodi on their main street. With that said, there's very limited parking on that street so I would recommend parking behind the bank instead of driving around in circles. We made reservations and were sat at the bar area. It was pretty packed so they begin their timing as soon as we sit, I presume. We started with our drink orders which are very reasonably priced for a nice restaurant. Kudos! We ordered a wedge salad and a pepperoni pizza as an appetizer. It was very shareable for four people. I ordered a chicken Marsala. I typically go for the Sausage Rigatoni because that's my favorite from the Stockton location, but I wanted to try something different. For me, the Chicken Marsala was way too salty. The chicken was bone in and fried which I did not expect. The desserts were good. You can't go wrong with any of them. If you see my pictures, we ordered one of everything. If I would choose a favorite, it would be Pear pie à la mode. Something about the warm pie with the crunch and a bit of cold, goes perfectly. The service was good. I will say we got booted out rather quickly. So keep that in mind.

    Salad
    Melissa S.

    I really enjoy Market Tavern in Stockton so I was very excited to try this location. Came here for an evening out for a dinner with my mom and some lady friends. We had a reservation for 4. The table we were placed at was incredibly small and we had no room for our food. I even tipped over one of my dressings due to the lack of space. When going to use the restrooms, it appears that one of the toilets needs to be repaired. I informed one of the waiters and they said knowingly that there are challenges with that restroom. I feel that if their bathrooms need maintenance, they should close that stall and work on the repairs rather than leave it available for customers to use. Pretty odd... Salad was good but overpriced for what it was. Halibut lacked flavor and was quite bland. Service was not particularly hospitable or warm. I felt our waitress was a bit annoyed that I tipped over my dressing ... I asked for paper napkins to clean it...

    Mariam K.

    The food here is absolutely delicious! The mushroom pizza and Mary's Chicken are both outstanding and definitely worth ordering. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the complimentary drinking water has an unpleasant taste. Hopefully that's something they can improve, because otherwise this place is fantastic!

    I am extremely disappointed with how this venue conducts business…read more I booked this space on September 6, 2025 for my daughter's high school graduation celebration scheduled for May 23, 2026. Four months later, on January 14, I received a text -- not even a phone call -- stating they could no longer host my event. No explanation. No meaningful effort to resolve the situation. Just a refund offer, as if families don't spend months planning around major milestones. By that point I had already sent save-the-dates to 125 guests. Because of their late cancellation, I have now contacted 25 other venues and wineries trying to keep my original date -- and they are either fully booked or out of my price range. That is the real-world impact of canceling a confirmed event months after booking. Weeks later (February 13), they offered the weekend before at half price. While that may sound generous on the surface, the reality is the damage was already done. I lost guests when I attempted to adjust the date, and I have been left scrambling to find alternatives. Major life events like graduations aren't casual reschedules. Reliability and communication matter, and unfortunately this experience showed a serious lack of both. Book with caution.

The restaurant is a bit upscale and pricey-although many restaurant prices have increased-so it is reasonable just a matter of what you order and are expecting. The drinks were made pretty strong and worth the price.

We did a couple appetizers for double servings. There also was a cast iron bread which I highly recommend-we didn't find it on the menu but another adjacent table had ordered it -we asked, ordered and we demolished it. I even forgot to take photos of the bread. For the main dishes the fish and chips was worth it, I didn't get any positive feedback on the ravioli that many of the people in the group had ordered. The one who had the Beef Wellington said it was worth it. There were two in the group that ordered the beef stroganoff that weren't able to fjnish their dish. We all forgot about the shepherds pie--maybe next time.
