The food was good and the service was great. I had the French dip and my partner had the fish and chips. Both were good. We got the focaccia bread and a bottle of the Fox Zin. It was very enjoyable.

Birthday dessert

Fantastic food, dessert and service ! Always a favorite! I got the Southwest chicken salad loved it. My mom got the cranberry walnut with chicken salad. She loved it. My daughter got the foxtrot sandwich. She loved it. My grandson got the chicken and fries. He loved it the dessert. I'm not exactly sure what it was. It was some kind of a turtle cream cheese brownie type thing. It was fantastic. wonderful service wonderful everything always love coming here. I hope they never change.

BLTA sandwich, fries were good too

Stopped in to the Dancing Fox hoping to combine a tasting with a meal. They couldn't accommodate due to a members event so we just had lunch with wine. The menu is somewhat typical bar food options, nothing particular gourmet. The focaccia bread that they use for sandwiches is definitely a standout out though - be sure to try this. The Chardonnay Reserve was served too cold, so it lacked personality as I'd hoped. This place seems to serve alot of locals which is nice to see.

This is my second time dining at the place and this time it was a lunch date with my kiddos. We arrived and were seated outside right away. It was very cute out there, we loved it! My kids can get a bit excited so it was perfect for us. Our waiter was very pleasant and attentive. I ordered the Caesar salad wrap and my daughter did the same, I got some chicken and fries for my littlest one. The wrap was amazing! My daughter didn't leave a crumb on her plate. I will be coming back just for the wrap. When I was here previously I ordered the cranberry Turkey sandwich and it was delicious as well. Needless to say this is a great place for lunch

Greek salad

Best service and great food Greek salad is unbelievable, the dressing is scrumptious too

Visiting Lodi this restaurant was highly recommended so we gave it a shot. We came in early dinner on a weekend, it wasn't busy maybe 3-4 tables occupied. The restaurant looks cool, looks very old, very dim, smelled like old wood. We got pizza to share, some beer, and desserts. The pizza was meh, not very good, crust was tough, we didn't get to finish it. I was really excited about the desserts. I got the fox delight and my bf got the bread pudding. The fox delight is pretty much like a frozen snicker bar with whipped cream. I can tell this entire dessert was just taken out of the freezer because my whipped cream was frozen. It was so difficult to cut, was too frozen. I really wanted to like it but I could barely cut it to take a bite. I was just tempted to grab with with my hands and eat it because I didn't want to waste it. The bread pudding was way too sweet, even my bf who loves sweets could not finish it. The other thing we noticed, was the amount of flies on our food. I didn't notice them at first, it being so dark. I was wondering why my bf kept waving on the food. They were the small flies, like gnats. They feasted on our food when we were done with it. I don't think I will be coming back.

I was really excited to try The Dancing Fox. This was our first visit, and we arrived right as they opened, so the wait wasn't an issue. Unfortunately, the first impression walking in wasn't great. The servers appeared unwelcoming and exhausted, and there wasn't much of a greeting or warmth. After we sat down, that seemed to be the overall tone. Our server was very dry--maybe it had been a long night, but the energy felt low from start to finish. The food came out on the greasy side and lacked seasoning. The standout dish was the calamari--the pieces were large, meaty, and satisfying. The fish and chips looked great in photos, but it didn't taste fresh and had an oddly papery texture. I also tried a cherry cider wine, which leaned very sweet--almost like a port, and not quite my preference. One of the most disappointing aspects was the lack of wine flight options. When I asked about tastings, I was told I'd need to sit at the bar next time, which felt a bit dismissive. Overall, it wasn't my best restaurant experience in Lodi. I had high hopes, but this visit didn't quite deliver.

I had lunch here and had a wine tasting and it was so good! The food was good but the wine was amazing! It was really cool too seeing all the artwork on the walls. It gave it a very medieval feel. I would definitely go back here even if it was only for a tasting!

Thiss place is huge, and has outdoor seating options. It was a beautiful first Sat in Oct, we opt to sit outside. Service was quick and attentive. We ordered 2 beers in opposite spectrums. A light pear cider and a dark Stout, Barrel aged Yeti. Both were great. For food, we had a tritip sandwich and a Cranberry Walnut Salad. Both were tasty with house made bread. After our meal, we walked to the back for complimentary wine tasting. We asked for reds, and were poured generously with so many bottles. We ended up buying the new blend and the port.

10/10 I went there almost a year ago and found some photos I wanted to post for all this new comers. This food is amazing please go if your in Lodi!

Veggie burger with fries
Nishalina B.

One of the best veggies burgers! The patties are house-made with many fresh ingredients. The patty holds together well. Big portion. Highly recommend. I prefer the onion rings over the fries. I heard the chicken caprese sandwich is really good! I also want to try their fish and chips. I haven't done their wine tasting here. The service and restaurant is real nice. I love the decore. Bathroom is clean. They do have a parking lot as the street parking can be hard.

Bratwurst

First visit based on a recommendation and it was worth it Food - all the food ordered was delicious. The portions were huge. We shared among the table as it was overwhelming for one person. Ambience - we sat outside and enjoyed the fresh air. Very relaxing vibe Service - at first our sever was a little rigid but as time went on he relaxed and become more friendly and smiled. He was on top of things though Overall great experience. Look forward to the next visit

I love the apps here! Great pairing with the drinks. Bruschetta, calamari and the sliders were soooo on point. Highly recommend those. We didn't get entrees but the burger looked good. I'd get that next time. I loved the one and only beer lager on their menu. It's a brewery so I'd expect more options for the lager but didn't find any. Also my partner who is a self proclaimed wine connoisseur, stated the wine was slightly watered down. I thought it was alright from my one sip. Seating is awesome tho! I liked the outdoor seating patio style. Great private and romantic as well. Good indoor seating for those who want it too. Parking right outside. They have their own parking lot. Staff are friendly and prompt with their service.

Ask the Community - The Dancing Fox Winery & Brewery

Take dinner reservations?

Their site says they do not. I've never needed one but haven't gone during a street fair or event.

Is there any sweet wine and cheese 🧀 platter?

Are you open on Thanksgiving Day?

I would think not but you can always call or get on their website

Do I need reservation to have Brunch?

They currently do not take any reservations. It's first come first serve.

Question for the winery/restaurant: Are both the restaurant and wine tasting dog friendly?

I have brought my dog here many times! Super pooch friendly. Seating outside, and I'm very sure they will accommodate your wine tasting outside too with your doggo!

When is their expansion done?

Hopefully sometime in early 2020. The bureaucracy within city limits is a pain in every city.

Even though it was busy, we were seated surprisingly quickly. We started with the blue cheese fries, and wow, these are amazing! The fries are topped with a garlic sauce and blue cheese crumbles. They were so good that there wasn't a single fry left in the bowl! For our meals, two of us shared the salmon salad. It came with a generous piece of salmon on top and was served with a lemon vinaigrette. The dressing had a nice, tangy flavor that paired really well with the salad. One of the kids ordered the kids' mac and cheese, which disappeared pretty quickly! The other ordered corn dogs and French fries. Both were fresh, hot, and cooked perfectly. The only male in our group ordered from the brunch menu and went with the fajita omelette. It had all the flavors and fixings you'd expect from fajitas, but served in an omelette. He really enjoyed it--and there were no leftovers! We also had to get the house-made root beer from Lodi Beer Company, and it did not disappoint. It's really, really good and definitely worth trying! Overall, we had another great experience at Lodi Beer Company. It was the perfect place to take a break from the heat, enjoy a good meal, and cool off before heading back out to enjoy more of the street fair. We definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Lodi!

I can count on beers I actually like (German ones. Dark ones. Stronk ones. Not IPA ones.) and rotating taps. Bags of chips but no food here. They don't seem to mind if you bring food in, at least for Wednesday night trivia. Don't quote me on it. Also. There is wine here. There are dogs. Inside and out. Woof. Trivia night was fun. Wednesdays at 6:30, every two weeks. Four categories, ten questions per category. Grade another team's paper like school. We killed the blue movies category last week. Trivia master is def a movie guy. I would come back for this trivia format, yes. This was also a good spot to watch the niner game a few weeks back. Back when we were winning. Sigh. TVs everywhere, lots of seating inside and out. That said, it's a busy popular spot full of regulars so if you want a seat for a game or event, come early. I want to come back for music bingo or vinyl night. Bring your own vinyl. Color me intrigued. Not sure what music people listen to here but I have options. They have a lot of cool stuff happening here. Mostly friendly vibes, great beer selection on local craft AND imports. Bathroom report: it's whatever. Reminds me of midtown with the jankiness but I may just be prior-homesick. I wandered into a nearby storeroom for tp one night but there was ? more tp inside the b room that I missed. Oops.

Melissa, the owner, could not have been more welcoming. She shared that she and her husband are UOP grads themselves, which made the visit feel even more special given why we were in town. The food was outstanding. The pork schnitzel sandwich was cooked perfectly: crispy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The deviled eggs were some of the best we've had in a long time, creamy with just the right kick. It's clear this is a place run with real pride, and it means a lot to support a local, family-run spot like this in Lodi, especially one with such genuine UOP roots. If you're ever dropping off (or picking up) a Tiger, make time to stop in. We'll definitely be back on our next visit to campus.

Now was a good as time as any! As we entered, there was a sign to meet at the bar for seating. The waitress/server came out after a bit of a wait and according to my friend, it's usually a longer wait time around lunch for someone to come out and seat you. I was recommended to try the pork schnitzel by my friend and it did not disappoint. I got my sandwich with a side salad. We also ordered the deviled eggs to share. My friend has never had the deviled eggs before and pleasantly surprised and delighted that the eggs were absolutely delicious. They're very smooth, eggs were cooked perfectly and the touch of bacon was just right. It does come with a small helping of mixed greens topped with pickled onions. The pork schnitzel was crispy & crunchy due to the breaded pork loin, came with pickled onions, slaw and the chipotle aioli sauce. The sauce does have a bit of a kick to it but it wasn't too spicy, well, at least for me. My salad was very good too. It was colorful and had an interestingly tangy dressing on it. It paired well with the sandwich. One was spicy and the salad was tangy but refreshing. My friend also ordered the pork schnitzel with beef tallow fries. I tried some of her fries and they were thin but still crispy. Overall the food at West Oak Nosh was so good and delicious! Service was good, prompt and our server was attentive despite being by herself. I think this place is great for the summer to have a drink and eat. Will have to come back for the drinks!
