Blue Hawaiian from the bar. Yummy!!

Ron from room service had my drinks and dinner to the room quickly and his device went above and beyond the expected Ron made excellent Blue Hawaiian drinks from the bar!!! Thank you Ron for the great hospitality and service.

Buffalo wings

This is one of the best stand alone hotel restaurants I've been to. The restaurant was clean and each table had fresh flowers on them. The service was exceptional and that was solely because of our waiter - Dino! Let me tell ya growing up in vegas where customer service is everything Dino was one of the best waiters I've ever had. He was affable and went above and beyond to provide a great dinning experience for my wife and I. Side note to manager - give this guy a raise or promotion. Ok...to the food. I ordered the short rib panini and was blown away by the flavor, freshness and tenderness of the meat. Easily one of the best sandwiches I've had. My wife got some buffalo wings and side Caesar salad which were also great. The wings were perfectly tossed in buffalo sauce and had a nice crunch on them. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone staying at the double tree or anyone visiting Modesto. Bravo!

Food was good, service was friendly. Was pretty empty when we went. Wasn't bad at all, I'd go back to give it another try.

Maxi's is located inside the Doubletree Hotel. So to start the day I came here for breakfast. Once you enter you are greeted and seated immediately as they must cater to business travelers that have limited time. As most hotels offer a buffet I always stay clear and order off the menu. Two reasons I don't need the extra calories of having everything on a buffet. Also I want it freshly made for me and just to order what I want. Cost wise it is usually less but it isn't the sole driver for my decision here. I order a cappuccino and it arrives quickly. For my breakfast I have eggs sunny side up. My bread choices did not include my favorite rye bread so I got sour dough figuring it is usually a good choice in San Francisco and geographically close enough. Breakfast came out quickly and was served just as fast. I was surprised to learn from the waitress that they are open all day. Which is great to have thst option on the hotel as it is convenient. When it was time to settle up the check I printed and signed my name. Since I did not use my middle name my server checked my ID. Now I am all for safety but logically speaking who would steal my identity and get my room number correct as well as my name and signature but for a middle name check. Whatever sad times we are living in and Modesto must have alot of criminals coming through. Service and food were good as well as the convenience of being on site where I was stayimg. The next day I just wanted to leave Modesto quickly so I skipped breakfast and checked out of the hotel instead.

Nothing like a glass of wine after a long day!!!

I stayed at the hotel last night and had dinner and breakfast this morning. Salmon was excellent and eggs Benedict pretty good. I'm not normally a bread eater, but those poppyseed sourdough rolls were bomb! Food is presented nicely and tasty. Ambience and customer service also very good. Nice place for a romantic dinner or by yourself. Will come again when back in town in December.

The food was excellent and the staff just as good. It's a hidden gem for dining. I would consider it a quiet dining experience too.

Very bad service. It also took 30 minutes to get 2 of our plates and almost 45 for the 3rd person to get their meal. Food was poor.

If you want a long wait, bad service, and substandard expensive food, this place fits the bill. Don't bother.

This was our first visit to Lucille, and I'm pretty sure it won't be our last…read more I arrived about 15 minutes before their lunch service officially began at 11:00 and threw them a little curve by asking if I could order lunch early. They rolled with it without hesitation, which I always appreciate. My wife was meeting me a little later, and they timed everything beautifully. The food was on the table only about five minutes before she arrived, and with warm sandwiches and soup involved, the timing mattered. Everything was just the right temperature when we sat down to eat. We both ordered the Uptown Gal--roast beef, giardiniera, Dijon aioli, arugula, and white cheddar on house focaccia. The flavors were spot on, and these are substantial sandwiches. In fact, next time we could probably share one. We also shared the jalapeño Parmesan artichoke dip, which was excellent. We enjoyed some there and brought the rest home. The soups didn't have the same opportunity--we polished those off pretty quickly. Very flavorful. The iced tea was clearly freshly brewed and quite strong, which I actually prefer because I can adjust it to taste. It came in a generously sized glass as well. Lucille is a small place, but they've made very good use of the space. The interior is attractive and has a slightly modern, new-age feel. There was a steady stream of people dining in and picking up orders, and it wouldn't take many more customers to fill the place. I also noticed a nice wine selection and an espresso machine. One other thing stood out: the employees seemed genuinely happy to be there. Lots of smiles and a pleasant atmosphere throughout our visit. Excellent food, generous portions, good timing, and a staff willing to accommodate a customer who showed up a little ahead of schedule. An easy five stars from us.

The service is ALWAYS amazing…read more On this day, I got a soup of the day and one of the sandwiches I can not remember the name of, nor did I take a picture. However it was DELICIOUS! It had roasted turkey, avocado, tomato and on a roll. The soup of the day was an Orzo soup. I wish it would have been hotter and more soup like, but it was STILL DELICIOUS. I do get kinda disappointed when I go in there because they have tea, but no lemonade and I'd love an Arnold Palmer... They should put that on their menu I did order the coffee cake. It was good, but I wish there was something more to it. It was a little dry.

Lucille - To be honest, I had to have my AI assistant remove some of the people so you could see the inside.
