Everything about this restaurant is top tier. The vibe, the service, the food. Claudia who helped us was wonderful! Thank you for your kindness and promptness. Compliments to the chef for the beautiful presentation. Every single bite was delicious. I look forward to going back and trying something new!

Grilled artichoke
Camila C.

I grew up going to the location in Stockton and the new Lodi location is even better! They have a good amount of outdoor seating and the food is perfect for enjoying a sunny afternoon. Their hummus and pita are always amazing. I recently tried the grilled artichoke and it was so tasty! I also really love the Greek salad. Everything tastes fresh and flavorful.

Mediterranean Chicken Pasta
Jackee V.

Absolutely Loved the food! Our server was excellent and the ambiance was great. There was a lot of private bridal and baby showers being held the day we went for my mom's bday. Would definitely go back again and again! The Tequila espresso Martini is my new favorite!

Brought my husband here for dinner for his birthday and we had a time. They have a special on Mondays which was a salad, entree and dessert for like $40 pp. of course we had some wine, the complimentary naan (which were to die for) and they gave him a complimentary birthday treat. I had the Mediterranean pasta which was bomb, my hubby had the same, I had the Greek salad and toook chocolate cake to go with it staff are amazing and friendly. They work hard and the restaurant is beautiful for date night. We will come back

Me and my wife went to this restaurant for my birthday dinner. My wife had told me about this restaurant. I ordered the Caesar salad, Mediterranean chicken pasta, white wine and dessert. The salad was great with the naan was phenomenal. The pasta was the star of the dinner. The pasta flavor was delicious. The drink was great. The dessert was delicious. The ambiance is customer friendly and plenty of seating. The restaurant is great place to go for phenomenal food.

Definitely asking for this area next time!

I have always loved Papapavlos and I came here to celebrate my birthday with my Yia Yia who has been a loyal fan of this place for years. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful with warm wood accents, cozy booths, and a lovely ambiance. However, our visit this time left me a bit disappointed. I ordered the Greek Chicken Salad but I am fairly certain I received the Chicken Caesar Salad instead. I have had the Greek salad before and this one did not have any of the usual ingredients such as olives, feta, or vinaigrette. It only had Caesar dressing, croutons, and grilled chicken. I did not want to make a fuss especially since it was a special lunch with my Yia Yia, but it was a letdown. The lighting was also very dim for 1 p.m., but thankfully our server adjusted it when I mentioned it. Later I ordered cheesecake for dessert and was given a chocolate mousse cake instead. It would have helped if the server had written our order down instead of trying to remember everything. All that said, the food we did get was fresh and flavorful and the atmosphere itself is lovely. It just needs a little more attention to detail and care with orders. I will probably give them another try but I hope next time the service matches the beauty of the restaurant

Lemon drops
Yolanda W.

A girlfriend and I went to Papapavlo's in Lodi to celebrate her birthday. It was an extremely busy day that we had THE best service from Kirsten and Camilla!!!! They were both so attentive, checking on us frequently making sure everything that we ordered was tasty. The ambience was great. Everyone was enjoying themselves. The food choices were amazing as well. Not to mention our lemon drops were made to perfection.

5 stars because everything was great. Rented a private room for 4 hours for my mil's 50th birthday. We were able to put up decorations and have enough space for all attendees. Service was good, fast, friendly and very attentive. The food was good, I loved my shrimp pasta, I should've gotten one to go. Pricing is good, not too expensive- its very affordable and portions were good. The inside and decor was very nice. It was very elegant and dark, had nice lights. The room we rented had lights we can adjust based on our needs. Overall, yes id go back

Pistachio Crusted Salmon
George K.

We dined again at Papapavlo's recently with my granddaughter and her husband. We arrived around 5:15 with 5:30 reservations and got seated immediately! The hostess was warm and friendly, welcoming us as we entered through the doors. The restaurant's interior is stylish and inviting and the bar scene was already hopping! As soon as we were seated we were greeted with water and pita bread slices accompanied by olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We skipped appetizers but my wife and granddaughter had cocktails. Our waiter, I believe his name was Garrett, was friendly, knowledgeable of the menu and very efficient without being intrusive. My wife had the ribeye, baked potatoes and haricot verts. The steak was perfectly cooked and deliciously tender! My granddaughter had the pistachio crusted salmon which she said was delicious. Her husband had the filet in a Merlot Demi glaze. He mentioned that it was prepared exactly the way he prefers it. I had the octopus times two because last time I had it as an appetizer, it was outstanding! I had been craving it again so I got two orders on the same plate and they were very accommodating to my request. It came with a side of deliciously creamy fingerling potatoes. The portions of food did not leave much room for dessert but it didn't stop us from getting a slice of their baklava cheesecake to take home with us! Overall it was a very good dining experience and I can't wait to return for that delicious octopus!

Large Seafood Pasta
Ana H.

Really nice restaurant. Right away it feels very elegant inside. Sat down after the hostess had to double check if she had a table for us even though the restaurant was empty except for about two other tables.. service was ok. Mostly the servers & hostess talking since it was slow. Ordered the seafood pasta and calamari steak entree. Wow! The flavors were so amazing. Definitely recommend. Everything was super delicious and reasonably priced. I would come again!

Roasted Angus Sirloin
Del S.

Consistently delicious food, amazing service. Went here again for Thanksgiving dinner. They had a dinner special and served their normal menu. It can get pretty loud in there, but love the vibe with the bar as a focal point when you walk in. Fun place to go for yummy food, great libations and atmosphere

Bad: Their "Kobe" burger was $29 or so and was a good portion size. The problem? Lacking any kind of flavor or seasoning. The beef was flavorless. The stroganoff was a good portion size but again it was severely lacking in the seasoning department. Good: Those who ordered the corn soup and the porcini mushroom ravioli enjoyed them. They especially enjoyed the sauce from the ravioli. The desserts overall were enjoyed by the table. The sticky toffee pudding, while not as rich as we are used to, was still relatively good; soft and moist enough. The dark chocolate oblong with mango passion fruit was enjoyed by everyone too. The interior remains unchanged; like a classy London gastropub. Service: communication is key. Where they dropped the ball was that we mentioned on the reservation that we were there for Father's Day and prime rib, which they do on Sundays. As you walk in you even see the sign for the prime rib special. We sat down and the server mentioned that there was no prime rib this weekend. I had even chatted with them on the reservation app and they made no mention of this. We could have gone somewhere else had we known in advanced. Our server was relatively nice too.

Pietro's is an all-time local Lodi favorite. I've been here quite a few times the past 10 years -…read morebut the first time at their new location - which is much bigger, modern and nicer. I have to say, it was impressive. We had reservations at 4:45 PM on a Thursday for a birthday celebration - and was fortunate to find good parking. Pietro's has an overflow parking lot right across the street - because they are THAT popular. And yes, reservations are always recommended - because Pietro's is THAT popular. The first time I went to Pietro's, they had fish and risotto special. Every time I've went, they always had the fish and risotto special - and ordered it every time - because it is THAT good! This time I ordered the risotto special without the fish and it was especially delicious. Pietro's has an amazing menu and quite a few menu items I would love to try - but I just can't pass up the risotto - because it is THAT good! Pietro's evolved from a small family favorite restaurant to what you would expect at a fine dining franchised establishment. The mood is always vibrant and positive. And the service is even better. Overall, Pietro's is not just a restaurant, it is an experience - because Pietro's is THAT good!

The wide pasta noodles were perfectly done and the sauce was so delicious! My dining companions both had Caesar salads and eggplant Parmesan, and we all shared the bruschetta appetizer. All the food was very, very good. 100% recommend. However...the service was only adequate bordering on good. I must say, the servers and the person checking people in were very obviously inexperienced. They were friendly and kind, but so, so awkward. Pietro's has so much potential to be fine dining, but the service comes off as unsophisticated, sporadic, frenetic, loud, unaware, and clumsy. For example, when the server brought our entrees, he reached all the way across the table in front of us to put our food on the table. I'm used to experienced server carefully going between each person. Ok. So it wasn't terrible. It's just not as highbrow as the place seems to project itself as. Also, one of the servers loudly interrupted us while we were having a conversation and it was very jarring. I couldn't help but feel rushed and kind of bothered by the uncomfortable, inexperienced energy of the staff. It's fine. I'll totally go back. The food was amazing. I just won't expect the kind of service that a place like Pietro's should have. It's not like anything was really wrong. They tried hard and were very nice servers, it's just that the vibe was waaaay off and they could all benefit from some solid training.

It was our first time visiting from the Bay Area, and it was truly a memorable experience. We ordered the chicken wings and calamari, plus two drinks. Our bartender recommended the Freak Show Cabernet, and it was delicious.

I apologize for the clumsiness on my part. The chef also came out to greet us, which was a wonderful personal touch. Overall, we had an incredible time.

We sat inside, where the space features exposed brick, artwork throughout, and very comfortable seating... my partner specifically pointed that out. The layout includes a mix of seating areas, which gives it a more relaxed, layered feel. The bar area, known as the Ghost Lounge, adds a darker, more lounge-like element to the overall atmosphere. Service was excellent. Our server, Lacy, was friendly, attentive, and witty - easily one of the best servers we've had in a while. For drinks, I had a local Oak Farm red wine that was excellent. Others in our group had mimosas, which were well received... especially the grapefruit mimosa, which my partner really enjoyed. For food, there were several highlights. 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.

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!

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.

We had a great experience. Our server was attentive and helpful. I would definitely go back for more. Happy bites !

It was our first time going here to the Lodi location. We normally go to the one in Stockton…read morebecause they have a cute little market that is part of the restaurant. The Lodi location is great because you can grab a bite to eat, then do some walking to the cute boutiques or vintage stores afterwards. I ordered the Runaway Bride cocktail. I loved the whole aesthetic of the drink alone but the taste was superb. I'll have to order that again. Their Griddled Cornbread is very good. I ordered their Wood Oven Roasted Mary's 1/2 Chicken. Chicken was cooked perfectly. I enjoyed it. I'll be honest, I like the ambiance at the Stockton location better but overall it was a good experience. Our waiter was great!

What a sweet find in Lodi! Never really came out here but met up with some friends for lunch…read more I got the chilaquiles and they were so good! Flavorful, tortillas were crunchy, customer service was nice and place was clean. I'm usually not huge on potatoes but these were so gooood! Salty, flavorful, seasoned so well! The chorizo and eggs were on the bottom more than the top so by the time I was done I had a bunch left over. My friends got the biscuits & gravy. The portions are huge & they're saucy! Had a chance to try it and I usually don't get biscuits but felt they were pretty dry without the gravy. But even with the gravy more on the dry side. But would recommend checking them out!

My friend and I were in downtown Lodi looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite to eat before we…read moreheaded out to the wineries. While walking by, we decided to give this place a shot. The staff was friendly and was able to find us a seat either inside or outside. We elected to sit outside because the music inside was slightly a little too loud. The staff understood and we got to sit on the patio under the umbrellas for shade. I ordered the BBLT; Bacon Lettuce and Tomato sandwich, with the homemade potato salad. I'm always nervous when ordering a BLT somewhere as some places hardly give much bacon on their sandwich. Not this place however, they loaded my sandwich up with bacon and it was amazing. The potato salad was light, not over salty, or sweet. Just right, where you could season it up however your tastebuds like. We enjoyed our brunch outing and will be back next time in the area.
