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.

I had a great experience my first time at Mezzo! Service was attentive and helpful as soon as we…read morearrived and came to check in on us multiple times throughout the dinner. Multiple staff came to greet us and tend to us during the evening. Bread was tasty and crab cakes were crispy on the outside. I had never had an aperol spritz drink but was pleasantly surprised and I hope future aperol spritz's I try will be as good as this one. Rigatoni bolognese was delicious. The pistachio cannoli was the best of all the items I tried and especially unique - a must try if you come! The restaurant itself is a beautiful place to dine - very elegant. A must try if in the Stockton :)

A cute little wine bar in town…read more Parking: free plenty. If you are new in town, it could be a bit tricky to find the complex as the GPS will direct you to gas station, but behold: the food complex is behind the gas station, so just go for it. Service: friendly, attentive, knowledgeable Food: make fresh, pretty quick Ambience: nostalgic, casual Restroom: clean, easy to lock This place has a lot of community events. Nadia, the co-owner is the host if you want to have wine tasting group session. Her knowledge across wineries are excellent, I was learning a lot. The store curated organic wines from Amador county and surrounding. This is one of the wine bar in Sacramento where I can find organic wines. These wines are generally lower in chemicals, pesticides, and additives.

I tried the Cave de la Cote Chasselas which was a very light refreshing start. It reminded me of a…read moresoft Sauvignon blanc. I followed with Vin de Days, Maurer Red Fruit November and finished with La Miche Cab Sav. While not quite a fan of the RFN, I did enjoy the La Miche for its savoriness- a perfect dinner pairing wine. Before heading out for my next adventure, I decided to do a glass of the Alta Colina Downslope Red and finish a few chapters of my book. I don't know how to accurately describe wines- but my version, again savory and hearty but not heavy- another good wine for a nice meaty dinner. (Bearing in mind, of course, that I'm also no pairing expert!) Ever After has a unique offering of wines and I look forward to popping in again with some friends! I also plan to check out some of the events I've heard mentioned in my time here. Also... they're preparing for a prix fixe event tonight- it smells absolutely amazing!!

Such a wonderful place to spend the evening! I happened to visit on a Wednesday evening and was…read morereally shy because it was my first time here. I was greeted immediately by the staff, and felt so welcome. The ambiance is very warm and cozy, I enjoyed the Crab Cakes with mixed greens, COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF. The wine paired perfectly with my dish, even though I enjoyed a red wine. The flavors of the crab cakes with the mixed greens and dressing were composed so beautifully. And a table of complete strangers invited me to join them because I was solo for the evening. I definitely plan on returning. As the sign says , " Good friends, good wine , good times" CHEERS!

Michael David winery is one of beautiful winery in Lodi…read more Parking: free plenty in its own complex Inside, it is decorated like a resort with waterfall, lush gardens Its most popular wine: freakshow is totally delicious. It also hosts private events for its member here and there. I was lucky to be invited to their members only event with hula dancers show and meals. I have been to Napa, Sonoma and Paso Robles. I am glad to come across this beautiful winery in Lodi.

We started with a wine flight and then stayed for lunch in the café…read more The tasting flight was very good, with the Misfits & Mavens red blend being my favorite of the group. Afterward, we walked the grounds, which were absolutely gorgeous. The only downside was how noticeable the nearby highway noise was at times. For lunch, I ordered the Lodi Burger with potato salad, while my wife went with the combo featuring the chicken tortilla soup and tri-tip sandwich. My burger was good overall, though the bun could have been a bit fresher. The potato salad was solid. That said, my wife definitely ordered the better meal. I sampled both her soup and sandwich and unsuccessfully tried to negotiate a trade. Overall, this was a solid stop with good wine, pleasant grounds, and enjoyable food. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

The four of us came without a reservation on a gloomy day in the middle of the week. The vineyard itself wasn't outstanding, and we could not sit outside as they took in all the seats, even though it wouldn't rain that day. The inside tasting room we were placed in didn't have any seating for us, as we were not sat at the bar. Overall, I would pop over for a tasting but I wouldn't want to stay here and relax with a bottle unless there were better seating options.

Prices (by the glass and bottle) are reasonable. I recall there were 12 labels represented with some labels having more than one varietal being presented. Anaya is the house label made by the owner, Gerardo. He has a very refined palette from what I tasted of his Anaya varietals. Tasting flights are of good quality and the presentation is fun. Good service and hospitality. I was told the available wines rotate every month so I plan to get by here again.

Great spot for a casual meal downtown. I've been here several times and the food is always solid…read more Parking can be a little tricky since it's in a busy area, but there's a small lot and some street parking. We came for Sunday lunch with family and were seated right away. Our waiter was great -- he checked in on us regularly and even refilled our drinks without us having to ask, which was a nice touch. I ordered the Greek salad with added salmon (+$8) and it was a great choice. The portion was generous and came with a slice of focaccia. The salad had mixed greens, olives, artichokes, feta, and red onion with a really tasty balsamic vinaigrette. Our table also ordered a cheese pizza, Caesar salad wrap, and the chicken pot pie. I had a bite of the pot pie and it was incredible -- definitely ordering that next time. Bonus: they offer a free wine tasting with the purchase of a meal, which is a fun extra. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we'll absolutely be back!

If we are just judging everything by the food and ambience, five stars. There I got that out of the…read moreway. Food is fantastic. We got the foccicia bread basket as an appetizer and it was really good, herb, olive oil, soft bread like a sponge. The chicken pot pie was excellent, full of flavor, great crust and good filling. I got the French dip, it was probably one of the best I had in a while. The au jus was the best part, thick, flavorful along with a strong creamy horseradish. Service............. Not so much. For a big place that was maybe 40% occupied, it was soooooooooooooooooo slow. One server from what I see, 2 bussers, and 5 others standing around chatting. Took a good 30 mins to get seated (there was tables available), though we got to go to their tasting room, and got a bottle of wine; another 20 mins to get the server's attention after getting seated and probably another 40 for the food to come. That was probably the most irritating.

This place is very subconsciously racist. All the bartenders are white (just like Blend). Feels…read morelike a sun down town outside of security. Security will comstantly hit on your drunk friends and no one stops them, this is even when the women are clearly not interested. It is extremely uncomfortable. The music is awful, you have to make the best of it. But after going there for a couple months the music is simply catered to a white and latin crowd. I do not hear anything current or relevant when I am there. Me and my gf usually go there because its close and thats it. We are usually the only ones that truly dance and are the reason alot of folks said they enjoyed their time (even though they agree the music and atmosphere sucks- it looks like NY ). We have never got offered free drinks or anything complimentary for attracting a crowd or bringing friends. Everywhere else, this is usual when attracting customers for a bar. Too much staff... It is not POC friendly. I have heard almost everyone I know complain about the demographics and the bad music. I also see alot of DL men hovering by the bar in bulk so I am guessing it may be catered to them they tend to by the most drinks. I have had many friends there make the same statement. Overall, just leave this one alone and go to Islanders. More POC, more diversity in staff, no awkward fake moments with the Owner (who is as uptight as they come), and more fun people. You will likely leave aftera couple drinks.... Thats what they want. They scam and play a couple fo songs so you buy buy buy and leave without dancing or if you do its to 50 cent and Lil John like you in 8th grade Bad business.... Trust me. I dance all the time. I try to be nice to the DJs because I can't tell if their fault or the owners either way. I won't go unless I am desperate. Unfortunately, this business doesn't keep up with the times. No stars from me. Staff is creepy. If you are a drunk woman stay tf away because the bartender or security will get at you and keep bothering you all night.

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!
