Ashanna B.

Nothing remarkable ... our server was a nice guy but the seafood boils were VERY salty. Almost too salty to eat. We ordered two seafood boils with shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and lobster tail. We also had a deep fried oyster appetizer and that was actually good. The restrooms were horrible and looked like public gas station restrooms. I let our server know that they were in bad condition and someone could get hurt if they slipped on what appeared to be urine on the floors; and he politely said he'd get someone in there. There's only two bathrooms, both gender neutral, yet one had a urinal and the other didn't. Again, he was a nice guy. However, the bathrooms looked like no one regularly cleaned them. They were very dirty and smelled, it wasn't a good look for them... being that they advertised themselves as "NEW Grand Opening". We were only in the area for a volleyball tournament so we aren't local to Lodi. We found this place on Yelp and decided to try based on the positive reviews. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend nor return. Two stars for the oyster appetizer and the friendly service.

Calamari and fries
Sylvana S.

Great place. Books have good seasoning and come out hot and fast. Calamari and fries were delicious too! Medium heat perfect

Shrimp basket with fries
Ray T.

Stopped for lunch today. The restaurant was not crowded. Got seated right away and got out order taken quickly. The place was clean and well kept. I had the shrimp basket lunch w:fries and my wife had the same with sweet potatoe waffle fries. We also order a side of hush puppies which were yummy. Overall a great experience!

First time visiting since it opened. The restaurant is nicely decorated in a marine theme. We were greeted and were promptly sat in a booth. We had the hush puppies for appetizers; I recommend them. For the main course l, we ordered the crab and shrimp combo with corn and potatoes. Everything came steaming hot but delicious. They provide you with all the equipment for the job: bib, gloves, seafood cracker and napkins. They have a variety of seasonings (the house one has everything in it). There are also different levels of heat (spice) for everyone's taste. It was a fun dining experience and we definitely left with full stomachs. Thanks to our server Moses who was very attentive and kind. Check it out !

Chicken Tender Basket
Nishalina B.

Food was good. Service was great. I would definitely go back. I got a seafood bag with house flavor- medium. Wasn't too spicy, good flavor. I would try hot next time. Cajun fries were good. Calamari was good. Ordered chicken tenders basket but was too full to try it. The only thing I don't like, is they stop sitting people at 9pm. A few days ago I went to dine in for the first time and they said I couldn't after 9pm so I left.

Garlic noodles
Victoria M.

Mediocre at best. The food was very bland to Me. It lacked any really favor. I was a bit disappointed. It was also like warm. I also ordered calamari, it was fried so hard into the point it wasn't edible. The waiter was great. He was attentive and sweet. The restaurant was very clean the music was very family friendly.

Seafood Noodle
Sparrow D.

The service was good, 1st time here. The prices are not that bad either. Right amount of seasoning on the seafood we ordered. Some places are smothered in so much salt it makes your head hurt but they were yums. Def will be back

Amazing food. It was my first time trying this place. My parents brought me and my gf here to try the new seafood spot in town and we loved it. Great customer service and so much parking. The environment was really chill and it is a good size restaurant for the 209 area. We got the Family Special deal, Garlic Noodles, Cajun wings and Hush Puppies. Great place to celebrate any special occasion. Highly recommend this spot!

Fried calamari- extra crispy and delicious!
Meghan B.

So happy to finally have a crab boil place in Lodi! Went for an early dinner on 4/1. They weren't busy and we were sat quickly. The server was friendly enough and the food and drinks came out quickly. We ordered fried calamari and the family meal. For the seafood boil we chose black mussels, Dungeness crab, clams, and head on shrimp with the house seasoning and hot spice level. The seasoning and spice was perfect and so delicious. The decor in the restaurant is cute and I really love the little jellyfish lamps hanging in the dining room. The food was great but I do wish they had a full liquor license so we could have cocktails with dinner.

Me and my wife LOVE coming here!!! The food is amazing, sauce is bussin! And our waitress I think her name was Natalie was amazing, love her vibe and constantly made sure we were good and our drink was topped off

It was Ok I may try it again but I did feel a real sense of " Connection/ Relationship/ Friendship" I didn't feel the Staff cared that I was there or Not. The Music was Good

Deep fried mushrooms

As soon as the location opens usually around 11 AM it becomes very busy but not sure if they take reservations as we just usually walk in and kind of wait a couple of minutes and then we are seated or sometimes they ask us to see her self. I really enjoy the service that we get here every time we do visit because everybody that helps us out is very pleasant and nice and cordial. They do play the music very loud as if replicating you are in a live concert lol but sometimes it helps bring out the vibes depending on if somebody is celebrating an occasion. The atmosphere is kind of set up like a sailor ship or something rather but of course pertains to the sea. They do offer other things on their menu and they also serve alcohol beverages if that is of your interest. Their parking lot is shared with other businesses around the area so sometimes it's difficult to find a parking space. You may have to circle around a couple of times, but when you are at your table, you automatically Brought a appetizer size ceviche with crackers and tostadas.. for those that do enjoy picking out music their selves they do have a modernized jukebox that's located towards their back wall before reaching the restrooms. Overall, one of our go to spots when we wanna get out and have kind of like a late lunch or early dinner

A problem because it is just thaaaaat delicious and they have a massive vegetarian menu I want to work my way through. A very yelpy problem to have if I may say so. We ordered a take away last week for lunch with veggie samosas, garlic naan, basmati rice, and an order of mushroom masala for me, something meaty for my love that I've forgotten the name of. We loved our food and the ease of ordering online for pickup. Everything was fire. Rich, flavorful mushroom masala with plenty of fresh vegetables. How I savored the sauce. Yum. Luckily there were leftovers for the next day! The garlic naan was plenty garlicky, fresh, hot, and yummy. Samosas were so hot it took awhile and some patience before they could be savored. Excellent. Crispy perfection on the outside, and packed with filling and spices. Even the basmati rice was fantastic. I would order everything again. But. I have so many other items to try, from paneer to curry to okra served in a different way than I am used to. We have not dined in yet, but I'm sure we will soon. Service so far has been great. They made sure we didn't forget anything when picking up, from utensils to rice sides. Prices were lower than what I'm used to as well, so that's a bonus. Can't speak to the ambiance much yet, but it seems like a good place to dine in.

The prickly pear margarita tasted more like a pink Jolly Rancher than anything else, which just wasn't for me. My fajitas were alright, but they came without any sour cream or guac and the pico was mainly onion. When I asked the waiter, he told me they don't come with it, even though the menu said otherwise. Without those, the fajitas ended up being really dry. I ended up just paying and getting ready to leave, but when I grabbed a menu again and asked about it, they apologized and offered me chips and salsa to go, which I appreciated. The staff was very nice throughout, but the whole experience felt a bit disorganized. Overall, it just didn't feel like a good value for the money, and I left pretty underwhelmed.

The new location is absolutely stunning! What stood out to me was the adorable community garden walkway with growing, healthy plants. I also appreciated the indoor ambiance with lots of spectacular modern decor. I tried the following delectable, palatable dishes: * Calamari Fritti * Bruschetta * Murdaca's Minestrone Soup (top favorite) * Cioppino w/ Sourdough Bread (top favorite) I must say that all of the food was on point and met expectations in terms of execution. Every single bite was gratifying and screamed nothing of displeasure. The food did take quite a while to come out, especially the appetizers. The two appetizers actually arrived after the delivery of the soups and the entrees. It was a busy Thursday night, so it's understandable. Within the dining experience, the server who provided incredible hospitality was Kaitlin. I was pleased by her kind spirit. Caleb C. was also the server assistant/busser and he was attentive with clearing plates consistently, offering water refills, etc. Both of them deserve recognition because their service skills were excellent. Overall, I had a positive dinner outing at Pietro's. I highly recommend stopping by for mouthwatering Italian cuisine, great vibes, and an inviting atmosphere.

We sat inside, where the space features exposed brick, artwork throughout, and very comfortable seating... my partner specifically pointed that out. The layout includes a mix of seating areas, which gives it a more relaxed, layered feel. The bar area, known as the Ghost Lounge, adds a darker, more lounge-like element to the overall atmosphere. Service was excellent. Our server, Lacy, was friendly, attentive, and witty - easily one of the best servers we've had in a while. For drinks, I had a local Oak Farm red wine that was excellent. Others in our group had mimosas, which were well received... especially the grapefruit mimosa, which my partner really enjoyed. For food, there were several highlights. My partner had the chicken and waffles and loved it; I tried some and would agree it was very good. Another person in our group ordered the steak breakfast tacos, which came as a set of three. They only ate two, and I had the third and it was delicious and something I would recommend. Another in our group had the eggs Benedict and thought it was excellent. I had the biscuits and gravy with fried eggs. It was okay, but not something I would go out of my way to order again. In terms of value, prices felt consistent with the quality of the food, service, and overall setting. It's not a budget brunch spot, but it feels appropriate for the experience. Overall, it was a really enjoyable Easter brunch with great service, a comfortable and well-designed interior, and several strong menu items. I'd rate it a 4 out of 5, though if half-points were an option, this would land closer to a 4.5. We'd definitely come back.
