Literally had no idea this hidden bar was located in Stockton. Visited on a Saturday night around…read more7pm and left around 1:30am. There is a parking lot at the back of the restaurant which is where this bar is located. It's a close-knit bar, but it does get a decent amount of people inside! The drinks are delicious. I highly recommend Jalapeño Business (mezcal or tequila, cucumber, jalapeño, agave, fresh squeezed lime). SO refreshing with a chamoy tajin rim. I also enjoyed The Nightcap (vodka, bailey's, cold brew, coffee liqueur). The bartender was very friendly and made the drinks quickly! You can also order food (since it's connected to a restaurant), and we ordered gyoza and shrimp tempura which came out piping hot and were both delicious. Definitely stop by if you're looking for a chill bar to get a drink, it is a small space so just be aware your conversations can easily be heard by others. Not a problem if you're friendly though!

Yet another draft I have never sent off…read more Some of the slowest service I've ever had was at this place. Wasn't busy at all. We just ordered a couple of things and it took FOREVER to get out to us. Not sure if they like turn off all of the cooking equipment or something because it shouldn't take THAT long to cook a couple of burgers. I've been here a couple of times, once with a small group of friends and once sitting outside with a larger group. Both times or was pretty slow even just getting drinks. The food was nothing to write home about either.

I was recommended by my nephew that the Dry Scallops fried rice is amazing. It did not disappoint us at all. It's definitely worth the $24.99 as the portions are huge enough for six and there was a lot of dry Scallops in every bites. The other dishes was huge as well in portions and delicious as well. Although the restaurant is not fancy nut the food is exceptionally good for it's price per portions. Will definitely try again if in Stockton.

My sister and I went out for a lunch date. We were craving Chinese food so we came to China Palace…read more We ordered from the dim sum menu. This was our first time ordering dim sum. Though, the servers were pushy, the food was delicious. We got the shrimp dumplings, fried shrimp balls, and egg custard tarts. They were all very yummy. You can either order from the dim sum menu or the regular one. But if you want both, you do need to ask for the other menu. We figured this out after we had already ordered from the dim sum menu. We also ordered two lunch specials. They were also tasty. The place is very spacious and has a lot of Chinese decor. My experience was not as enjoyable, because of the staff,though. We both felt very uncomfortable and pushed to order more food and pay tip. It was not professional or polite at all. I hope the next time I go, my visit is much more pleasant.

the cutest speakeasy in stockton for sure. we were the first ones in when it opened at 7 and it…read morequickly picked up and got busy. the staff was friendly and attentive. i was genuinely so surprised by the food. not high expectations at all. we got the bruschetta and the ceviche. the bruschetta had a great balance and blend of flavors. nothing was too overpowering and everything went together well. the ceviche was genuinely crazy good for a bar. so refreshing and flavors were perfection. the plantain chips were such a delightful surprise. i was expecting sweetness, but they actually tasted so salty in a great way. addicting. so good. i could eat those plantain chips everyday. for drinks we got a glass of prosecco, two leaky lava lamps, a honey i grew up, and a three c's. the three c's came hot and it was my first time having a hot cocktail. so interesting. it was like a warm espresso martini. i really enjoyed it. the honey i grew up was good, but the first couple sips had a grainy texture. after that it was pretty smooth though. the ice cube was so large and took up the entire drink. i took out the ice cube and it was genuinely like an inch or two of drink lol. the leaky lava lamp was sweet and fruit and topped with a super yummy strawberry flavored cube. it wasn't a gummy, but that's the closest thing to what it would be. the flavor of it was great and tasted like real strawberry. the prosecco was prosecco and it was nice. the drinks are like $15+ for a cocktail so it adds up quick. the vibe was great and they were playing such good music too. love this little spot.

Every time I think that I've reviewed this place I find out there one isn't there. I'm not sure…read morewhat's going on with this one but here goes. Very disappointing experience when we came for a friend's birthday. Looking at the pics this place appears to be a very cute speakeasy and when you enter you find that to be true. They have a few cocktails that are pretty creative like my favorite, their clarified fruity pebbles cocktail. We all got cocktails and only about 1/2 of the drinks were really appreciated. Anyway, what held them back here was definitely the food. I'll start off by saying that yes we had a light dinner of sushi prior to making our way over. So keeping that in mind, we still had the idea of getting some small bites. We didn't want to over commit so we started with what I believe was the Grilled Peach Burrata. Now if we are going purely off flavors, it wasn't bad and it was a cute pairing of ingredients for what sounded like a great bite. On first bite we found this to be a horrendous dish. At first we thought, there's no way the bread was really THAT stale and hard. We thought there's no way that it could be every single piece that was that inedible. We were sorely mistaken. When I tell you that little crostini was hard and stale I'm telling you this thing was so terribly stale that we immediately thought of how disappointed we were in coming here and that we would NEVER consider coming back again. As for the service we remember it being a tad underwhelming as well but not terrible. The only thing that in my mind keeps me from rating them a 1, and I don't do that almost ever, is that my cocktail was just my style. I'm an old fashioned kind of guy but I also love the cute, creative and sweet cocktails as well. This fruity pebbles cocktail also came topped with sort of a Rice Krispie style fruity pebbles treat that I absolutely loved. After ordering a 2nd one however I found that they are not very consistent with their drink preparations as the 2nd one just wasn't as good. The ratio of whatever they put in there just seemed off. I'll finish off by saying that I so desperately wanted this place to be good. Was it an off night? Is this just their level of execution? Who is to say. Maybe one day I'll feel inclined to give them another chance but who knows. I have also heard that they did a lot of revamping so maybe things are looking up now.

The ambiance is welcoming and stylish, making it a great spot for a night out before or after a movie. Our waitress was very nice but not really attentive, the overall service felt slow for how quiet it was. Ordering and getting the check took longer than expected, even though the place wasn't busy. We randomly stopped in after dropping our daughter off at the theater across the street. A convenient choice for a pre-movie bite. Fries are great. The Fed burger is delicious and very large; I couldn't finish it. Calamari (husband's order): large portion, but he felt it wasn't the best. I don't typically care for calamari, so I can't judge that item fairly, but my burger was a standout. Beautiful ambiance, tasty food (especially the burger), friendly service. Improve speed of service, and the calamari could use a step up. Would return for the ambiance and the burger--maybe with a bit more time for both ordering and checking out.

As someone who just wanted to come in with good intentions, being treated like that felt unfair and upsetting. It's especially discouraging when it feels like people aren't welcomed or respected for who they are. I hope the owner reflects on how situations like this are handled moving forward, because no one should feel unwelcome when simply trying to support a local business. Jerry, money is money and you clearly need it as the your establishment lacks professionalism. It was hilarious to see you run out and ask who let me in when I haven't done anything but write a review. Maybe you should do some deep reflection and you clearly don't like the lgbtq community. Look at your other reviews people have posted. It's sincerely disheartening. Do better

I came to Mezzo for dinner…read more I left spiritually changed. First of all -- Cheryll behind the bar? Protect her at all costs. The mint mojito she made me wasn't a drink... it was a religious experience. I don't know what she put in it (mint? magic? a degree in mixology from Hogwarts?) but I considered texting my ex just to tell her I've finally found happiness. Now let's talk about the Sol Fish. I ordered it like a normal person. I did NOT expect to sit there in silence after the first bite, staring at the wall, re-evaluating my life choices. Perfectly cooked. Light, flavorful, disrespectfully good. I almost asked for a moment alone with it. At one point I considered clapping. In public. Like people do when the plane lands. Mezzo, you did your thing. Cheryll, you are a national treasure. I will absolutely be back. 10/10. Would let this meal ruin all other mojitos for me again.
