Maybe it's just me but when you spend over $200 for two, you should not have to ask for them to fill up your water. Mashed potatoes were cold as were the crab cakes. Both the filet mignon and ribeye were over cooked. The expensive drinks were weak. Ambience was nice but overall very disappointed in our anniversary dinner here. read more

I love their food! The mushroom filo appetizer was delish, pricey for 4, but delish. But why the low low low rating? Because Papapavlo's is awful in their service! I came in at 11:30 am on 05/04/23. Both Ricky, Chelsea and another gal was up front BUT did not greet me, nor asked if I was interested in dining in. They totally ignored me for about 10+/- minutes! Then Chelsea finally deigned to ask me how many in my party for dine in. The kicker? The idiot server, Ricky, gives us the wrong bill, splits the charge for this wrong bill and overcharged my guest and I by $10.00+! And we have him a generous tip too! Ricky was a scammer, didn't pay attention and a lousy server! Papapavlo's has good food, not great, but good. However, the awful service doesn't want to make me come back. I've spoken to other people and they all agree, Papapavlo's service is AWFUL!!! read more

Visited for the first time for my mother's Birthday lunch. Wow, we were really impressed. All of our food was delicious and the service was top notch. Anthony really went above and beyond to make sure my mother had an excellent experience. For starters we ordered the grilled artichoke, smokey and very well seasoned. The Spanakopita was so delicious, and it came with 4 pieces. Our entrees were: the calamari steak, good texture with a flavorful sauce, the pistachio salmon, which was cooked perfectly, and the Papapavlo's pasta with chicken. Most of our dishes come standard with rice pilaf and mixed vegetables. Both were well seasoned and complimented the food. No complaints! Worth the money! Will return and bring more people with me :) (new location next door will open sometime this summer). read more

The food is consistently delicious. The service is always good. It's a beautiful restaurant. They are kind to everyone.

I enjoyed the food but the female server that replaced the previous bartender was RUDE. It took me forever to order another beer( my wife had to walk around the bar to get her attention). And then she served me the wrong beer. No apology. And trying to get her to bring the check was another fiasco. Finally when she walked outside of the bar to talk to a friend sitting next to me was I able to get her to bring me the check. Of course she was all smiles when she brought me the check. I left her a 20% tip out of respect for the restaurant's employees in general, but I am not going back for awhile. read more

Daughter moved to Lodi and this place was our first dinner in Lodi. Great place & would recommend! Husband ordered burger & fries, delicious! My daughter and I ordered pasta dishes, Mediterranean & Seafood. Both were delicious as well. No complaints. Staff was kind. Ambiance was nice, with an outside patio waiting area that played music, with seating & fire pits. Also right next door to a cute & great coffee place, Trial Coffee Roasters. read more

Everyone there was super sweet and helpful I can't say anything about that. The drinks were amazing. Love everyone! This is just my pinion on the food. It just wasn't good. Maybe this place wasn't for us. The sauce on my fish was really salty. My friends fish was grilled it was a tiny amount for the price but it didn't come with any sauce very dry and not worth it. The rice was super dry. The Cesar salad seemed drenched with oil. Weird. The deserts were terrible. They are still sitting in our fridge. Never tried carrot cake that tasted like that. It was dry and it had a large amount of cinnamon. I'll stick with Pietros. Maybe work on the menu and tweak it. It would be better. read more

Food is very good. My husband and I love the Chicken Marsala. Don't forget dessert...their desserts are to die for!

Had an impromptu dinner here and loved the food. The hummus is delicious for the starter and the Mediterranean chicken was amazing. The waitstaff was extremely friendly and attentive. Great menu options. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent food. Flaming cheese-delicious. Alaskan crab cakes-wonderful. Our party tried two different steak items and the salmon. All wonderful. Coconut cream pie was very good. Excellent service. Definitely suited for younger crowd. Very loud inside due to full bar seating. The four of us frequently had to shout to hear each other. read more

Went last night for dinner at 6 to a basically empty restaurant and a full noisy bar . Dinner was just okay did not know that had changed menu to a la carte . Ordered a side salad anyway I love the single Kalamata olive on plate !!! Pita bread was hard and dry . Skip the coconut pie tasted like plain rice pudding in an undercooked crust with 4 inches of whipped cream and some coconut sprinkled on the top. If you are going to charge $12 for pie it better be good . We asked for banana cream but told it was seasonal service was okay could have been better since was so slow . I will wait another 2 years before going back . read more

Our first time here to the Lodi location and this is our new go to! The restaurant is beautiful! We ordered the Calamari appetizer and a Grilled artichoke, both were delicious. We tried a signature "fig thyme" drink and it was very good. Our waitress was Kristin and Emily was her helper. Both ladies did a great job and had sweet personalities. Will definitely be returning to the Lodi location from now on. read more

Servers were very nice but not really on top of things. Had to ask for silverware. Had to ask for Parmesan on pasta. Lemon drop soup was way too lemony making it a harsh taste. Maybe that's how it is supposed to taste ? Was my first time trying it. Gyro sandwich was ok. I'm spoiled by Yaso Yani In Stockton gyro Sandwhich. Patio gas heaters were not working and it was cold. read more

ok folks... Jennifer is super sweet and the Rock of this place. but we're done. we've frequented Papapavlos since they opened in Stockton but Lodi restaurant is not so good. we have many friends who say the service is bad and our opinion is they have gotten way to expensive for a couple of salads. door dash is horrible because the restaurant keeps messing up on the delivery orders. we are done eating here, ordering from her and recommending this restaurant. maybe time to retire? read more

Papapavlo's - Amazing appetizers! This is (part of) the Appetizer Platter! Great choice! - New American Near Me - Lodi, California

We were seated outside when it was 98 degrees, we chose to sit outside. We had to wait 20 minute intervals before getting refills, appetizers, and even just our server. We ordered a medium steak and it came out well done. It was my mother's birthday which we made clear multiple times and not one happy birthday from the waiter or any acknowledgment of this special day. We have spent well over $1000 at this establishment and we have never had a horrible experience like this, my mother has been a waiter before and she knows how it's like to be a waiter but even she says she handled it very poorly, very disappointed in this experience, Faryn(the waiter) please take your job more seriously, thank you. read more

First time I have ever tried this restaurant and also never been to the one in Stockton so we figured we would give it a try. Safe to say that the service was horrible the wait staff was just screwing around with each other and not attentive to their customers. They were not even busy to mention that as a second fact so the fact that they were not able to give good customer service is just beyond me. Secondly the food was severely overpriced for what you got my wife had a $30 plate with some canned green beans and some meat. I ordered a $24 burger that I asked to be cooked medium rare and came out cooked to death grey as the moon. The wait staff in our server I can't remember his name because he was not memorable and sucked at serving, did not apologize or anything in our appetizer was overly cooked and came out after our food. If you want to waste money and get crappy food for $30 a plate then papapavlos is your place. The fact that I told you how to cook a burger and then it comes out completely overdone and rubbery and you don't even apologize for the inconvenience and the bad food is just a testament to their customer service and their food quality. If you want good food and correct bruschetta go to Pietro's across town DO NOT GO TO either location read more

We visited the new location in Lodi and I was completely amazed! Very beautiful setting, ambiance and customer service was perfect. Food was top notch also. Their ribeye literally melts in your mouth and has been perfect the handful of times I've recently been there. Thank you staff! read more

We booked the private dining room for and event through Lodi Wine Train for Valentine's Day- we were on a schedule and this was planned weeks in advance. We were allotted only an hour 30 there, they didn't bring our food out until 45 minutes of sitting there waiting for our food then rushed the checks out with a to go dessert leaving us only 20 minuets to eat our food and dessert. No acknowledgment of their poor planning from the supervisor that was coming in and out and such a lack of hospitality due to their shortcomings. Everyone was extremely disappointed in their experience and food. Food was mediocre / overpriced - do not recommend. read more

Was in the area doing some shopping so stopped by to grab dinner. Saturday night with no reservations but they found us a table, not the best, way in the back by the kitchen and bathroom but they did find us an open table. It was also located in the bar area so the level of noise was incredible as dinner went on. Had difficultly hearing my wife from the other side of the table and having a conversation. We've eaten at the companies other locations a number of times but first time at this one and its a very nice and pretty new building and look. To the food. We had the vegi pasta and one of their specials. Was surprise in a good way that the fish was spot on as were the mashed potatoes and bean it was served with. Normally they are over cooked and over seasoned. These were perfect. The vegi pasta had very large sections of the various veggies. Since they were grilled this made more sense though made her work just a little but she enjoyed that dish also. Artichoke app was nice. Overly salty, not sure from maybe salted butter they used or just a heavy hand. Being a cook I don't often find dishes that I can't find fault with so a shout out to the kitchen on these mains. read more

Not a bad experience. Good was pretty good and enjoyed the patio seating on a beautiful day. Wait staff was attentive, definitely want to return and try a few other items on the menu as the item I tried wasn't my favorite read more

The food here is better than the one in Stockton, one of the best places to eat in the county. Would give five stars but the super loud bartender wouldn't shut up. We were near-ish to the bar and know his life story now. read more

First time here and I was very impressed. It was nice enough to eat outside, our server was amazing and the food was great. Don't order the baklava cheesecake though. Great cheesecake and had some flaky crust on top but that was it. Pretty much just regular cheesecake. read more

My partner and I wanted to give this place a shot. Upon entering, we were both surprised at the size of this place! It's uncomfortably small! Our waiter was friendly and polite. The menu doesn't have a large variety to choose from and the items are pricey. I tried the meat pasta and it was disgusting!!!!!! The worst pasta I have ever eaten in my life and I am not over exaggerating. Who puts cinnamon in pasta?? I did see the ingredients, but didn't think the pasta would be bad. I was totally wrong. They need to take that off the menu. Absolutely disgusting. Even my partner disliked it. Every bite tasted like Christmas and that's because of the cinnamon and rosemary. Won't be returning to this place. I'll stick my Pietro's Trattoria. read more

Food and service is amazing. Amazing blue cheese,butter rib eye steak. Melts in your mouth

I recently went to Lodi Papapavlo's restaurant because I was craving good dessert. If you don't already know this restaurant has amazing options for good homemade quality desserts. My personal favorite is the cheesecake and chocolate cream pie. The cheesecake is a baklava cheesecake which is a basic cheesecake (basic but very good) but has a layer on top that is just what it says in the name, baklava. So you get the crispy layer with sweet honey goodness and toasted nuts (sorry I'm not sure what nut is used in baklava. I think walnuts) But anyways it's like getting 2 desserts at once and if you're like me at all then that's a definite winner every time because 2 desserts is better then 1. Especially when they taste great. The chocolate pie was my other dessert I purchased this evening. I've had this before when I definitely enjoyed it better then I did tonight. It had a taste like it was old, maybe it was stale from sitting out because I was there at the end of the evening almost at closing time, but even if that's the case it really isn't ok. I paid $12 plus tax for each dessert option and that's quite a bit to pay for something that was probably going to be thrown away in a few minutes. By the way, I don't know if that's the case I'm just kind of thinking that maybe it was going to be tossed because it definitely didn't look like a piece of pie that was worth saving. Like I already mentioned it tasted stale, but it also had a chunk missing from it. Like while it was being cut to be put on the plate for the display case maybe a chunk fell off and the person preparing the dessert plates didn't catch it or did catch it but failed to piece it back together to make it look like a normal piece of pie. So there you have it, I enjoyed the cheesecake but unfortunately the chocolate pie left me feeling cheated. I felt this way for 2 reasons, the taste being stale and the piece I was given looked as if it was cut and served sloppy, or not complete is a better way to describe it. I hate to be a person that complains because I like giving good reviews but at the same time we as customers want to know we're getting what we pay for, especially when the restaurant chargers more money then we may feel is fair. Like a $12 piece of pie that really shouldn't have even been served to someone in the 1st place. I'm giving 4 stars though because I have purchased both desserts several times like tonight and there was many other times that I was more then happy with my purchase. If I wasn't happy I wouldn't continue to go back. It was probably just an off day or I just happened to arrive at a bad time for purchasing desserts. Hopefully you have tried these desserts and already know how great they can be. If you haven't then I do still suggest you give it a try because most likely you'll be very happy with the desserts you choose. Bon Appétit read more

Husband stopped by the restaurant, went to the bar, he was the only one sitting there and the bartender totally ignored him for over 10 minutes, he was busy talking to a server. I'm sorry but that's no way to run a business! read more

First time there and we will definitely be back! We went for dinner after bowling and this place did not miss. It is VERY small, but they are opening more space mid August. We sat outside and it was perfect. We shared tzatziki and pita bread. She had some chicken pasta dish and I had a seafood pasta dish and both were delicious. We tried the chocolate baklava for dessert - very good! Our waitress was friendly and patient and attentive without being intrusive. Excellent job to the entire staff!! read more

Only accepts reservations according to receptionists, whom was very rude upon arrival completely ignored my greeting!

Our experience was not particularly good. The service was poor, including me realizing the dinner salad I ordered was not what I was served. The server appeared rushed so I gave up trying to flag her down, and just ate it. My husband wanted to order a second beer, but she didn't notice him trying to get her attention, so he too just drank water. The salads: there was a decent amount of unseasoned shrimp on it, but it was quite plain. Iceberg lettuce, two olives, one slice of tomato, two large slices of cucumber, two partial pieces of red onion, two little pieces of feta cheese, and the dressing (which was a good one). Both of our meals were more like something to eat, rather than a treat. Some of the meal pictures look quite good, so we may try again, but it's not one of those places where we would drive out of our way to eat. read more

I love eating here. My favorite is the ribeye topped with blue cheese butter. The veggies are always fresh. My family is addicted, lol.
