The music was not loud nor annoying. The lighting takes you away from reality, it give a sense of being in a totally different city even country. It was such a romantic dinner. There were several couples enjoying the moment and the food. Menu/Food: The menu had plenty of options, in my opinion a bit hard to make up my mind. We had a difficult time choosing since everything seemed like a great option. Drinks: they have alcoholic drinks and for people who do not consume alcohol, they also have mocktails which were delicious. We order two mocktails and they were refreshing and felt fancy. Staff: welcome and always ready to help and assist when needed.

Impressed with the size of the kids tenders, wife enjoyed the clam chowder, prime rib was cooked to order and came with a nice grilled garlic surprise. Mashed potatoes were very creamy and swimming in butter. Desserts were tasty. Would certainly swing by again.

I knew there was a Black Bear Diner here in Lodi, it over on the west side of town. Just head west on West Kettleman Lane and you come to it on the right. It's in the Safeway and CVS Pharmacy parking lot. Lots of parking, can't miss it. I go in and get seated. I see breakfast offerings as well as dinner kinda stuff. The server is nice and friendly and the inside here is yes, very Beary themed! I order an omelet, i forgot what the exact name of it was, but it had avocados on top and I got it with the hashbrowns. This restaurant looks like they still get a decent amount of business even at dinner time. The food was very tasty and decent as it was exactly what I expected. No weird surprises. I like Black Bear cause they're very consistent in the food. I'll come back to this location again if I'm ever "stuck in Lodi again"!

We also ordered the M&M pizza and the Super [something--I forgot the name ]. Both pizzas were crispy, with a moist and soft crust. 5/5 pizza! For dessert, we got the tiramisu and chocolate gelato, and both were really good. The chocolate gelato is HUGE and definitely shareable. The restaurant is super cute! I recommend sitting outside for a different atmosphere. We didn't realize the outdoor patio was still enclosed, so we ended up sitting inside. I wish we had sat outside! The service was okay. Our server was nice, but between the assistant server and our server, there were a few times when we felt left unattended. Maybe they thought they each checked on us ‍ I definitely recommend this place, and we will be coming back!

To share around the table, we split the following: - Crab Cakes - Sticky Toffee Pudding The salad and entree I ordered for myself included: - Heirloom Beets & Melon - Classic Beef Wellington First and foremost, the salad was absolutely fresh and palatable. I was not used to enjoying a salad with beets + watermelon, so now, I am a fan. The crab cakes were flavorful, especially paired with the house-made lemon aioli sauce. The Beef Wellington dish was divine. The meat was super tender, the brown sauce was dynamite and the vegetables + mashed potatoes were the perfect complements. Lastly, the sticky toffee pudding was great, as the dessert was not overly sweet. The green apples added on top provided a nice balance of tartness against the richness. Junior was my server. I appreciated his warm, friendly disposition. He was very kind and attentive the entire time. The Oxford Kitchen and Gastropub has delectable British food. I am so glad that this restaurant is located in Lodi, which is super close to my hometown. I'd definitely return.

With how expensive dining out is these days, it seemed like a great deal. The restaurant itself is very small, with just a few tables and booths, and it's located in a small strip of businesses with street parking nearby. We were served bread and butter while waiting, and the food came out quickly. The $20 special included a salad, chicken scallopini, and molten lava cake for dessert. The salad was actually the highlight--simple mixed greens with blue cheese crumbles and balsamic vinaigrette, but fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, the entrée was a big disappointment. The chicken scallopini was very bland. The lemon white wine sauce helped a little, but not enough to save it. The mashed potatoes tasted like runny boxed potatoes, and the peas and carrots seemed like they came straight from a can. Dessert didn't redeem the meal either. The "molten" lava cake was underwhelming and nothing special. There was also a moment during dinner when a waiter accidentally bumped into my back while walking by. Accidents happen--I completely understand that. What bothered me was that he didn't acknowledge it right away or apologize until I turned around to see who had just smacked my back, and only then did he give a quick "oops, sorry." Maybe their regular menu dishes are fantastic and they cut corners for the $20 special--I don't know. But based on this overall experience, I don't really understand the high reviews, and I won't be back to find out.

He had a good sense of humor. We were coming back from Monterey and all of us were hungry. We ordered quite a feast: (3) chicken tikka wraps without lettuce 8 piece chicken tikka 8 piece chicken malai 6 regular naans + 1 garlic naan Tandoori fish order Tandoori chicken pizza Chicken tikka masala rice plate Every single item was flavorful, mouth watering, and cooked perfectly. The chicken tikka and malai were tender and packed with flavor. The naans were soft and fresh, and the chicken tikka masala rice plate had that rich, comforting sauce that was creamy smooth you can't stop eating and dipping your naan into. The tandoori fish was a standout smoky, well seasoned, and tender. They give a lot of meat inside the wraps. The tandoori chicken pizza... let's just say we couldn't even wait to get home. We ate a slice in the car because the smell alone was too tempting. That's how good it was. We took everything to go, the quality was top tier! You can tell they care about their food and flavors and wanting their customers happy. Abdul kept letting us know the status of our order and took care of us with chutney and ranch.

The pancakes!!! I would love to know how to make their pancakes. Then, the chicken and waffles are something out of this world. We've been back since Mothers Day brunch and been there weekly. The chicken is flavored perfectly and has the best crunch and is juicy. Not dry like other places. The service is perfect since staff is friendly, attentive, and caring. The new owner is so nice. I did not even know that they are new until he greeted us. The vibe in the restaurant is also nice where we are comfortable and enjoy our meals. We will be back again this weekend and can't wait. This is now our go to for brunch. Someone said that they are going to have dinners, can't wait to see what they have. The ambiance is perfect where we did not feel rushed. There were some customers that were just impatient but that's on them. It's not a fast food place. It's a place to enjoy meals with loved ones. The wait by the way for us was 10 minutes on a busy holiday weekend like mothers day and fathers day. read more

I recently visited Denis' Country Kitchen in Lodi, CA, and I had a fantastic experience. I ordered the Veggie Garden Omelette with Country Potatoes and Delicious French Toast, and everything was absolutely delicious. The omelette was packed with fresh veggies and cooked to perfection, and the country potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And don't even get me started on the French toast -- it was hands down the best I've ever had. The bread was thick and fluffy, and the cinnamon and sugar topping was heavenly. But the food wasn't the only thing that impressed me about Denis' Country Kitchen. The service was top notch too. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. Overall, I highly recommend Denis' Country Kitchen to anyone in the Lodi area. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu items! read more

I was hungry one morning so I got out of the house and looked for a place to have good breakfast. Stumbled with Denis' so I had no choice but to check it out. Ordered their Ultimate Omelet for $15.99 and man, it deserves the title "ULTIMATE"! The taste was great and I loved it. Also, I got their Original Greek Salad which costs $11.49 and it is also good! The items on their menu are a bit pricey but I tasted their food and I could say it was money well spent. The place has a nice atmosphere and the staff are always smiling.

I come here pretty often and each time I'm never disappointed. They have an awesome breakfast menu. Recently I've tried their California burger, I think that's the name. It too was really good and is actually big enough to share between two. During the weekend this place can get packed and there could be a wait of 30 mins. to get seated. They do have a complimentary coffee table set up outside while you wait which I find to be really nice. Give them a try if you're in the area. read more
