We really love where you sit , it's a great vibe and now that the weather has cooled down we are looking to go back and sit outside. We have been here 5 times and we will continue to give this spot 5 star reviews as long as they earn it , I highly recommend this spot . Plan your trip to the restroom accordingly, it's in the next building over

I've been wanting to try this place for years, and it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked…read morein until the time we left, the service was exceptional, and the entire experience felt like such a treat. We started with the arancini, which were perfectly fried and well balanced. For our entrées, we ordered the salmon and the chef's special stroganoff which is now my best friend's new favorite dish ever! My only complaint is that I was way too full to try dessert... which just means I'll have to come back soon! The ambiance was charming, cozy, and inviting. Every detail made for such a memorable dining experience. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

Not being familiar with a town and wanting a good breakfast is always tricky. Avenue Grill had…read morestrong reviews and the food looked good on Yelp. When we got there, the place was packed. Always a good sign. We were quickly seated in their covered patio area. The seating was quite comfortable. The staff were prompt and attentive. I ordered the Potatoe Platter. Probably not the healthiest of choices but who can deny a heaping platter of country style potatoes mixed with grilled ham, bacon, onions, and topped with melted cheese. I mean seriously. I ordered mine with eggs and ordered the pancake instead of toast, more on that later. To say this is a hearty meal would be the understatement of the year. Try as I might, I packed over half of this delicious dish for breakfast the following day. Judge me if you must, but I measure all pancakes against the gold standard of pancakes, McDonalds. The Avenue Grill offered a solid pancake, light, fluffy with a slight snap, every bit a worthy competitor to my favorite. Before I knew it, the pancake was gone. My wife ordered the French Toast. Want we loved about the Avenue Grill is sometimes you just want good, simple food and this was the case with the French Toast. Based on a light Sourdough, the french toast had good flavor and came together nicely with the syrup. All in all, we absolutely loved Avenue Grill. If you're ever in the Lodi area, Avenue Grill is worth a visit.

It's set in a nondescript strip mall & the restaurant itself is small with outdoor seating with space heaters but we three sat at the bar so we didn't have to wait at all for a table. It's very casual yet chill ambiance. Parking is free & there is only one restroom for the entire restaurant. So plan ahead. My son & I had the Denver omelettes with sourdough toast. My wife had her usual veggie omelette with no cheese but with sourdough toast. When we were served our breakfast our faces lit up literally bc of the massive amount of food. And that's an understatement! We ended up with boxes to go bc there was so much food on our plate. Crazy amount! You can be sure we would return! Can't wait!

The freshness of their house made pesto pasta is top notch it just melts in your mouth with each bite. Ribs had a very nice smoky taste not too sweet, not too salty just right on seasoning and the bark was fabulous these ribs were cooked perfect, nice & tender but the meat didn't rip off the bone in one piece as if they'd been overcooked so great job on the ribs guys. Full size meals here guys so you know. Laura and I split a rib meal so we each got 4 ribs apiece, pesto pasta for both of us on our own plates since they even let you split meals for $5 extra.

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.

Walking into the bar and grill, you can see the many dollars tacked onto the ceiling and the nostalgic background behind the bar of days gone by, which usually plays host to local farmers, boaters, and tourists in the area. My sister and I decided to take a scenic drive along the Sacramento River and recalled our dad's stories of hanging out at Al's after a day of fishing the river and how the place really "hit the spot!" We pulled up and parked on the narrow little street and walked into this well-known place with the smell of garlic French bread wafting into the air and locals sitting at the bar. We were taken into a small back dining area and given the menu. I ordered the infamous steak sandwich, while my sister ordered the Al's burger, and my husband ordered the fish tacos. The plates were quickly brought out to us and were very generous portions. The steak sandwich was so tasty and big, I was only able to eat about a fourth of it along with the delicious onion rings that came with it. My husband demolished the 3 fish tacos and french fries, and my sister managed to eat about half of her burger. We will definitely be back.

Like 20 minutes tops. My picky eating son got waffles and said they were the best he ever had. Big ol' Mickey pancake for the baby. Other son and wife got French toast and I had a traditional breakfast. Asked for crispy hash browns and they came out amazing. Food was great, service was great, interior of this place was cool.

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 appreciated how attentive the team was: when I accidentally knocked over my drink, the staff quickly and graciously helped clean up, along with a few flowers I bumped in the process. 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. If you're looking for great food and warm hospitality, I highly recommend The Exchange. I'll definitely be telling everyone on social media to stop by for a wonderful experience.

We had Easter brunch at The Exchange 1874 in Woodbridge and came away with a very positive overall…read moreexperience. The restaurant is set in a historic brick building with a lot of character. 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.

A Pleasant Surprise with a Small-Town Feel…read more This one caught me off guard--in a good way. I was out with my family practicing for my daughter's driving test at the DMV up the street. We pulled up Yelp to find a good lunch spot, saw the solid reviews, and decided to give it a try. When we walked in, the atmosphere had that small-town vibe--simple, welcoming, and comfortable. The food was very good. The service wasn't polished like a Michelin star restaurant, but it didn't need to be. It was authentic and heartfelt, and sometimes that matters more. You could tell the staff cared about what they were doing. The place was busy, especially for the time of day we went, which tells you something. People come here on purpose. That says a lot. We were seated quickly, our order was taken without any issues, and the food came out in a reasonable time. When it hit the table, the portions were generous and satisfying. I wish I had taken pictures, but I was too busy enjoying the moment. If you go, post your photos--I'm sure the business would appreciate it. If you've followed my reviews, you know I don't give out 4 stars often, and 5 stars are rare. This place earned that extra star because of how it made me feel--between the food, the atmosphere, and the service, it just worked. If I'm ever back in the area, I'm definitely coming back for another meal.

Even when the restaurant got very crowded she managed her tables very well. A big shout out to her! Now the food. The menu is obviously Mediterranean by nature, hummus, pita, kabobs, etc but there are items like ribeye sandwiches, burgers, fries, etc. I ordered Keftka plate which came with rice and a salad but it substituted fries for the salad, the fries were crinkle cut even. My wife ordered the lamb and chicken kabobs plate which came with rice and salad. The food, all of it, was just amazing. Perfectly seasoned and cooked and the portions were very generous. I'm sorry it took me so long to find this place. This is the best restaurant in Galt.... Hands down.
