    Chicken wings
    Tiffany Y.

    Nice spot for wings and drinks! I had some of thee best chicken wings and a beautiful glass of petit verboten! If you are in Lodi and looking for great wings, go here!!

    I've been to the Stockton location before, so I was happy to finally get a reservation. Our server was amazing, very attentive. Our food and drinks came out quickly for a busy Saturday evening. Standout: the braised short ribs. The meat was so tender, and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. Dessert: the cheesecake was a great choice, not too sweet, the guava sauce complimented it really well. This is a great place for a date night.

    Chicken Marsala with "green" beans
    Kim M.

    Very tasty food. Nice ambience & great service by Jose. Old fashioned was very watered down and the fruit crisp dessert was delicious, but lacked any "crisp." Note my photo ... not the best green beans (90% were the palest green) considering we are in sunny California in May.

    Octopus

    Stopped by at the bar for drinks and apps. Love the new decor! Vibes were great. Food was good as well. Will definitely be coming back. Octopus was chef's kiss, drinks are always top notch + strong just how I like it. Service was fast and attentive. Great addition to Lodi

    Grilled cornbread

    We made reservations and highly recommend it. This location gets busy early. Our server was very attentive. The chocolate martini was devine. The table order consisted of a burger, soup, pasta and it was all tasty. The soup wasn't on the sweeter side. The burgers were thick and the bacon even thicker. The ambiance was loud and busy but with elegance.

    Had Mother's Day lunch here and it did not disappoint! Cute place and the ambiance was really nice! Server was attentive and pleasant! We had the asparagus appetizer, rib eye and pork chop! Served to perfection and food was hot and fresh! Ended with the salted caramel gelato and brown sugar oat crisp! The fruits were delish and it looked yummy! Made reservations and we were taken to our table immediately! Would definitely be returning!

    Great drinks!

    Great food! Great drinks! Similar vibe to the market tavern in Stockton. It has the similar menu. I'd recommend the apps! The the cornbread, something I always get is fire af, best app to get. I'd get the herbivore drink! Nice light and crisp. Surprisingly enough the tacos were good. Friendly quick service! I'd come again

    Cheesecake

    It is located in downtown Lodi on their main street. With that said, there's very limited parking on that street so I would recommend parking behind the bank instead of driving around in circles. We made reservations and were sat at the bar area. It was pretty packed so they begin their timing as soon as we sit, I presume. We started with our drink orders which are very reasonably priced for a nice restaurant. Kudos! We ordered a wedge salad and a pepperoni pizza as an appetizer. It was very shareable for four people. I ordered a chicken Marsala. I typically go for the Sausage Rigatoni because that's my favorite from the Stockton location, but I wanted to try something different. For me, the Chicken Marsala was way too salty. The chicken was bone in and fried which I did not expect. The desserts were good. You can't go wrong with any of them. If you see my pictures, we ordered one of everything. If I would choose a favorite, it would be Pear pie à la mode. Something about the warm pie with the crunch and a bit of cold, goes perfectly. The service was good. I will say we got booted out rather quickly. So keep that in mind.

    Salad
    Melissa S.

    I really enjoy Market Tavern in Stockton so I was very excited to try this location. Came here for an evening out for a dinner with my mom and some lady friends. We had a reservation for 4. The table we were placed at was incredibly small and we had no room for our food. I even tipped over one of my dressings due to the lack of space. When going to use the restrooms, it appears that one of the toilets needs to be repaired. I informed one of the waiters and they said knowingly that there are challenges with that restroom. I feel that if their bathrooms need maintenance, they should close that stall and work on the repairs rather than leave it available for customers to use. Pretty odd... Salad was good but overpriced for what it was. Halibut lacked flavor and was quite bland. Service was not particularly hospitable or warm. I felt our waitress was a bit annoyed that I tipped over my dressing ... I asked for paper napkins to clean it...

    Wings appetizer
    Gretchen T.

    Came here at around 5pm on a Monday holiday and we were able to get a table for three right away. I've been to the Stockton location a few times, so we wanted to check out the Lodi location since we were nearby. We each got glasses of wine and shared the wings as an appetizer. One of us got the skirt steak, one got a pizza, and I got the beef stroganoff. Everything was so delicious. The wings were crispy and slightly sweet and sticky. The stroganoff pasta and beef was so tender with a dollop of sour cream on top. The leftovers were even better. The lighting is a bit dim, both the decor is really nice. The bathroom was clean. The bill for three wines, an appetizer, and three mains was around $180 before tip. Would definitely come back to try other things on the menu.

    Chicken Parmesan with Creamy Pesto Pasta
    Del S.

    Love that one of my favorite restaurants has come to Lodi. If you want to dine in, bear in mind there may be a wait. It was packed on Thursday night. We were told 45-60 minutes, and were pleasantly surprised when it wasn't even 10 minutes for a party of 4. The previous venue closed during Covid, and we love how Market Tavern has renovated. We didn't get a chance to go to the "Market" side, but I'm sure I'll be patronizing soon. It's pretty loud in there when you first walk in, but we didn't notice this at the booth we were seated at. As far as the food, it was on par with the Stockton location. We ordered our favorites. The griddled cornbread and deviled eggs are a must try if you haven't. I ordered my quinoa salad with salmon, and hubby got his chicken Parmesan great as always. I got to try a bite of the crispy duck, and it was delicious. Our server was awesome and very accommodating. Can't wait to come back for our other favorites. We will definitely be back soon!

    Perfect weather for outdoor dining
    Ashley H.

    Wait time was about 20 minutes--totally reasonable. I would've preferred to sit at the bar, but it was absolutely packed (good problem for them to have). Once seated, the service was excellent. Our server was attentive and genuinely kind, and even the support staff--those bringing water, clearing plates, and delivering dessert--were warm and approachable. It makes a difference. We ordered the kamachi, the bone marrow, and the duck confit. Every dish landed exactly how it should. The standout? The apricot preserve served with the duck--liquid gold. Truly something special I'd come back for. For dessert, we tried the lemon tart cheesecake. It was solid, but the whipped topping and the little crunch pearls on top took it to the next level. I'd order it again just for that texture game. Drinks were on point. My husband enjoyed his smoked Old Fashioned, and I stayed loyal to my Tito's soda. What impressed me most--when I said "no fruit," they actually listened. A tiny detail, but rarely honored, and I appreciated it. Overall, great experience: strong food, standout service, and attention to detail. We'll be back.

    Brussel Sprouts Appetizer
    Nishalina B.

    Came on the 3rd day of being open. Expected hiccups. For the price of the food, the flavor of the dishes were not up to par. I enjoyed their menu options, but they were also out of a few things on the entree menu and dessert menu. Brussel sprouts were ok, very lemon-y; would prefer roasted peanuts verse raw peanuts, but I would order again. Entrees- Sole, Cauliflower, Stroganoff, and Chicken Parm, were under seasoned. We all had to add salt and pepper to our dishes, which was disappointing. Serving sizes were good. Desserts were ok. The only entree I liked was the fish tacos; this had flavor! Server was very nice. Although busy, I would have liked if he came to check on us more often. We ran out of water several times. Ambiance is nice and appealing. Several unisex bathroom stalls (they could have kept it more clean). Bar is a nice touch. Inside and outside dining areas. I would only come back if the chef made adjustments to the flavors of the dishes.

I guess she liked that they came stacked high with all kinds of stuff. I couldn't find anything that really spoke to me. I generally want a simpler kind of dish. Not a big fan of places that dress their dishes up with things like pickled onions and mystery house sauces. So I got a burger, hoping it would be a big juicy not over cooked burger like you used to be able to get. I had to customize it a lot though. You always have to cross your finger that they will get it right when you do that. Well she liked her tacos and my burger was ok. Not worth the money. Expensive place for every day food that's just sort of dressed up with stuff you can do without. Quality was generally good. Kind of a dumpy lot to be located in, but that's Stockton for ya. I don't remember much about the service or the ambiance so they must have been ok. Probably not going back tho. I can get a better burger with less fuss for a better price just about anywhere. That said, you don't go to these types of places for a burger, you get them when you're dragged there. All in all, I wish that there were more family owned operations locally that just had good food and good prices and good service. Too many places that are either complete garbage or trying to be super high end in basically run down towns.

    I ate here twice, one day for a light dinner in the bar and another in the main restaurant…read more The ambiance is very pleasant, perhaps call it farmhouse chic with a sophisticated yet cozy feeling as though you're eating at someone's house. It's contemporary and the furnishings are quite comfortable. It's the type of place you can settle in and have a casual meal without feeling rushed. Prices are high yet the quality is excellent. For the first evening at the bar we settled into a high top table. You can sit at the bar, lounge type seating or outdoors on a pleasantly shaded patio. They had an expanded bar bites menu as the main restaurant is closed on Wednesdays... most of it quite enticing. We opted for cocktails to start and I chose a specialty Date Maple Old Fashioned. It was really good with a large ice ball to chill it. For bar bites we shared the pork belly sandwiches (small, delicious but messy to eat), the sausage skewers (amazing!) and crab cups (refreshingly light and easy to eat). After cocktails we had glasses of a light white wine, made with Santorini Greek grapes. For the next meal in the dining room the place was a buzz with activity but conversation was easy without a lot of excessive noise. It's intimate and the room is quite pleasant for a gourmet meal. We started with cocktails (same Old Fashioned) and shared the grilled Brussels Sprouts which were plentiful and ever so delicious. They were slightly over grilled for my taste yet it didn't distract from me enjoying them. We got bread which was a baguette with butter and the consistency perfect for a French style loaf. For my entree I debated between the scallops and the pork chop and went with the chop. I was quite pleased as the chop came in thick slices and drizzled with a tarragon mustard reduction sauce. It was amazing, tender, juicy and at 22oz I couldn't finish it all. It came with a tasty apple sauce and grilled seared cabbage. Absolutely delicious. Ed, celebrating a birthday, had steak which came with a huge bowl of mashed potatoes which I tasted. Oh my gosh, the creamiest potatoes ever! For dessert we shared the cheese plate, a really great way to end the meal, with glasses of a twany port. All of the cheeses from a brie to a hard cheese were top quality. Service both times was very attentive, professional yet personable. We were well cared for and everything went smoothly. It's expensive yet the experience and value is worth visiting.

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.
