We enjoy this place and have taken our family from out of town. No matter what we order we are never disappointed. Service is usually very good and prompt. We had 1 experience, in all tjentimes we have gone, where service was slow and felt a bit forgotten about. It was on. Sunday right afyer they opened and we usually go at dinner time. Not sure if it was a one off or typical of that time of day..... read more

Yes, I like this place very classy. Not too expensive. Food is fantastic. Very clean restaurant waitresses very nice

The waiting time was too long, had to remind server of an additional plate I ordered. One of the plates I ordered, came cold and when I asked if it was possible to just microwave it (I didn't mind if they couldn't, would've eaten it cold) the waiter then proceeded to tell me they had trashed the whole meal and where making me another. By the time the plate was finished being remade the rest of the table had finished eating, to which I asked it to be packaged to go. Mind you when we arrived there was only table ahead of us and the waitress was inattentive the whole time. Felt disappointed and hungry. read more

Overall good food & good portions! Service nice so if you'd in the mood for Italian this is a good place with reasonable prices ...

Came in with my wife and her parents for her birthday dinner. Clean place with a great ambience and Adrian was very polite and accomodating when he sat us and took our orders. I told him it was her birthday and to do his best embarrassing her. I was half joking, not expecting him or T59 to go out of their way to celebrate with us, but him and another member of staff came out after the meals with a piece of cheesecake on a dish with "happy birthday" written on the dish beautifully in chocolate syrup. The food was great, the service was prompt, and fun times were had. Thank you Table59 and Adrian! read more

Took my family out for valentines was very disappointed at the least. Let me start out with the positives we were greeted right away awesome taken to our seats right away and then got our drink order came out great so far. Bread came out nice and warm and the butter was soft very nice ! But that is it when the food started to come out, they brought out two of the five dishes first, and the other three dishes took roughly 10 mins for the other 3 . Spaghetti, noodles were mushy. My steak was charred and cooked to a medium well temperature not the medium I requested they forgot the butter for the lobster. The meatball calzone wasn't up to par. I had such high hopes for this restaurant has a Merced needs some good dining establishments, other than Mexican. They don't have a full bar either . read more

Such a great place here in Merced. My girls and I came in for brunch & was greeted by the owner & waitress. I tried their shrimp scampi and it was delicious, however I have to be totally honest and say that their Linguini Vera Cruz (not pictured) was the best!!! I highly recommend you all try this place with your girls & order mimosa's. If not, go with your spouse or significant other during dinner time. The vibes are so great & you won't have to break your wallet eating here. read more

Table 59 - Shrimp Scampi - Italian Near Me - Merced, California

See all

Went to try out Table 59 last night and definitely will not go again. The staff were very friendly but the food was definitely tasteless and overpriced. I got the shrimp trio and the only good thing was the fried shrimp. The shrimp scampi was tasteless and cold. My friend got the bbq chicken pizza, half of the pizza was burnt on top. My other friend got the linguini Vera Cruz pasta and it was flavorless as well as the margarita pizza. read more

Server was wonderful until the food came. The food was cold & not edible. We couldn't tell the server since he didn't come back until we were leaving - saw full plates when he offered a box we both declined explaining the food was awful. Fettuccine Alfredo is apparently "a hit or miss depending on the cook" ?? Recipes aren't standard? read more

My family, including adult children and several grandchildren, ate dinner last night at Table 59. Very sweet server accommodated us beautifully. My only negative comment is my dinner order. I ordered Chicken Marsala. This is the second time I've ordered it and been very disappointed. The sauce IS NOT Marsala, almost looks like they just used Alfredo instead. The mushrooms were not sautéed but just cooked in the white sauce with some chopped onions. So disappointing when everything else is pretty good. Also, my husband substituted Italian sausage for the meatballs on his spaghetti and was served cooked ground sausage. Not exactly Italian sausage. We will return but will not order those two items. read more

Decided to try this place out with the family. I ordered a medium well steak and another ordered a medium rare, both came out well done. We told them and they kindly took our steaks away and redid them. They did offered a dessert for their mistake. Both steaks came out perfect and we continue to enjoy the rest of the meal. read more

Is place is amazing. Good food and great atmosphere . The food is a good portion and everything has flavor. I highly recommend it.

The outside may not look like much on Hwy 59 bit the food is delicious and well priced. We have tried a variety of items on the menu and never disappointed. Calzone, burger,, BLT, Fettuccine, Rib Eye, you name it delicious read more

This place is so good! Service was great, food was great. The shrimp Alfredo was better than Olive Garden and the steak was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back. read more

Another good place to eat in Merced. Italian and American food, just off of 59 and Buena Vista. At our table we had a really good 59 Hamburger, BBQ chicken pizza, and a shrimp plate. Our starter was the bruschetta. Everyone really liked the food. We will be back. read more

The customer service is unmatched! My boyfriend and I had a hard time looking for a restaurant and we are glad we found this gem. Our server lily was attentive and knowledgeable. The fried calamari was amazing with the tarter and cocktail sauce. I tried the linguini Vera Cruz and the sauce had a spicy mild kick honestly delicious. My boyfriend had the 16oz Rib eye it was tender and on point with a fully loaded baked potato. Very romantic ambiance. Highly recommend! 10/10 read more

I come here often for lunch and find the team to be friendly, the food to be quick and tasty and the building to be welcoming. The calzones are huge so be ready to take 1/2 home with you or share with two people. My favorite thing so far is the penne pasta with chicken and mushrooms. read more

I have never been so disappointed in a meal in my life. We came here to celebrate a graduation from UC Merced and was expecting the pasta and steak that came from the photos on Yelp. We came on mothers day 5/14, and they had a special "brunch buffet" for mothers day. Okay, we didn't expect this but how bad can it be? Tell me why the buffet food looked like it came from a freezer section in costco. Everything was bland, and even the fruit was not sweet. They had eggs benedict with no hollandaise sauce. Whats the point of that??? They had scrambled eggs that couldn't be any tasteless and unseasoned. Some chicken florentine that was so rich and so unseasoned. They had a meat carving station and an omelet station and the prime rib was just so fatty and under seasoned. The omelet seemed overcooked. The buffet was something is something i'd imagine they give to prisoners. I honestly think they give better food in prison. i wish I took photos to show how bad it was. It seemed everyone had the same idea in terms of enjoyment. I would have taken anything else other than this place. I wonder if the staff or kitchen try their food to see how bad it is. Going forward, i hope they stick to the menu that is shown in the other photos, NOT THE NAASTY ASS BUFFETT! I forgot to mention, they had desserts that are not home made. They are definitely bought from a grocery store and brought in. I don't know what was going on today, but I hope they never pull this again. ALSO, it was $35 per person. For a mediocre buffet. My party was so disappointed that we just ate one plate, got our bull and left. Management has got to be deluded to have let this joke of a Mothers Day Brunch buffet slide. read more

We just had dinner at Table 59. The ambience is 100 times better than the new, cramped restaurants in Merced. It was quiet, intimate, beautiful, and cozy. My calzone was delicious and huge. I took half of it home and I was still stuffed. My husband had salmon that he enjoyed and said he would order again. I went previously for lunch and had a delicious Steak sandwich. They also brought me a complimentary cheesecake for my birthday. The Servers were very friendly and very attentive. Definitely try it out!! We need to keep the restaurants afloat in Merced, especially those that aren't the big chains. BTW, I never, ever leave reviews! read more

(Edited because the owner/son Adrian called my personal cell for clarification, inappropriate none the less) Even at $400+ NOT WORTH IT!!!! I tipped because I felt bad but looking back I wish I wouldn't have for the price I payed. I placed an order for catering for my daughters graduation. Ridiculously expensive. Not to mention I picked up the order. Well, except they forgot to pack the kids pizza that I payed for so Adrian had to deliver it to my house. First impression upon arrival the restaurant was dead. Not a friendly face until I mentioned I was there to pick up my catering order.. I was not treated bad. Just not friendly until the chef/father came out with my order and I began to speak to him in Spanish. Then Adrian's demeanor changed a bit. I obviously payed the overpriced amount because I thought it would be well worth it. The food was mediocre at best which is why I now say for the price that I payed, was just not worth it. The tray of Chicken fettuccine Alfredo pasta was okay. More pasta than anything. None of it tasted homemade, in the case you are expecting freshly homemade. (My sister is an Alfredo sauce connoisseur) A tray of fish n chips with the same batter used for corn dogs. Dry fish. Artichoke dip that had a sweetness to it. Eww. Frozen buffalo wings that lacked flavor. Kids pizza was just gross. Sauce tasted like canned tomatoes and cheese was extra greasy and not in the yummy greasy way. Just a huge fail. The garlic bread was pretty good. That's hard to ruin. Perhaps their other dishes are good but it was not our groups experience. I will say that they "gave" (or so they said) us a tray of green salad which looked nice and fresh but required no cooking so there's that. They gave us a large portion of ranch for our 12 wings and a nice portion of store bought italian dressing for our salad. Also, we ordered a side of shrimp for about 4 people who wanted to add it to their pasta...that was, you know small and rubbery which I do understand shrimp overcooks very easily. With that they gave us a large enough portion of cocktail sauce. Not sure why but okay. But again, in our opinion, at that price it was NOT WORTH IT. I would've been willing to pay this amount for a more Italian homemade experience. While this isn't about race because I met Adrian and his father who was very kind and they said was the chef, I do believe that we are the same race. They are not Italian so why would I have expected authentic Italian. Our experience with the food was mediocre. I learned my lesson not to order from a place I've never tried just because they have decent reviews. In my defense I moved out here from a large city and restaurant options near me now are very limited. Needless to say after the not so good experience we had with the food and the unprofessionalism we experienced with Adrian calling my personal cell, we would not only never return but we would never recommend! Hopefully if you decide to visit this establishment you have a better experience. read more

This place is delicious! I've eaten both at the restaurant and had take out and it never disappoints!

We are from out of town and stopped by here because we wanted Italian and we were so happy we did. The service was amazing, Hazell provided the best service we've had in a long long time. Food was so exceptional, he made great recommendations. Highly recommend!! read more

Great food, good service, nice place!. The place's location is a little hide. But a good place! read more

Good food overall, nothing incredibly special but good for casual lunch or dinner. The inside was very nice and clean. Service was good.

I've been to Table 59 several times and each time my meals were very tasty. Last night, I had a great ribeye steak. Cooked just the way I like it and very flavorful. As always, Adrian and the rest of the staff were very welcoming and attentive. I'll be back! read more

Would not recommend coming here. Food is overpriced and MID. My boyfriend and I ordered steamed clams, shrimp scampi, meat ball calzone, and tiramisu. The steamed clams and shrimp scampi had an overpowering taste of Jarlic (not even real garlic??) and was extremely salty. For the price, the best part of the meal was the free French bread. The tiramisu tasted like store bought as well. Save your money and go to Olive Garden. read more

Great place for parties. Adrian is so patient and accommodating, he goes above and beyond. Great food, great service and a fabulous space.

Food is meh service is good though. Used to be better when they first opened. Would be willing to go back though.

Love the food here especially the bone in rib-eye steak this is mine and my fiancés favorite place to go have dinner at! read more

Table 59 - 16oz Bone in rib-eye 10/10 recommend - Italian Near Me - Merced, California

This is the kind of place that works best atmospherically if it is absolutely FULL of dining customers. With its cavernous high ceilings and huge mural on the wall overhead, you feel engulphed when you walk into a nearly empty room. In fact, we half-expected to hear our voices echo off the walls when we spoke. Now, for the food... If dining were all about visuals, we'd have to give it a 5; but, unfortunately, when it comes to nourishment, man does not live by visuals alone. Our baked meat lovers calzone was beautifully presented, the dough around the edge neatly braided in a way that I've never seen before on a calzone. Impressive. The lazagna was served in the same piping hot boat dish that it was oven baked in with plenty of melting cheese oozing over the sides with a nicely baked crust on it. Seriously, we wanted to love this food. How could anything so lovingly and artfully presented be so bland and uninspired tasting? We ate less than a third of our meal and asked for boxes to take home. We were too bored to keep eating! Were there any authentic Italian herbs and seasonings used in the cooking? The marinara sauce looked orangey like something Chef Boyardee cooked up in the basement on an off-night after he ran out of essentials like oregano, thyme, garlic, parsley, olive oil, and other classic Italian seasonings. If they were in there, you can't prove it by me and I grew up with Italian cooks. There was a large party of Asian men dining across from us. I love all Asian food because of the artful use of spices and herbs. As an Italian American, I felt embarrassed by what they must have thought of such tasteless "Italian food". I wanted to apologize to them and ask them to please not judge Italian cuisine by this one-off sampling. On the plus side, the steamed clams were tender and the broth, if a bit salty, was tasty and the toasted crostini served with it absorbed the broth very well and went down nice and easy. No complaints there. The salad was served with the "Italian" dressing on the side. I don't know what made this dressing Italian, but it did have a nice, pleasant flavor and the mixed lettuces were fresh and crisp. In conclusion, Table 59 has its heart in the right place and the waitstaff is very attentive, friendly, and caring. But, the people in the kitchen need to Boldly GO! and not be afraid to delve into the many delightful condiments, herbs, spices, and techniques that define all good Italian cooking. Trust that the people of Merced will not be scared off by the scent of garlic or the taste of olive oil. Show them what it means to eat Italian, even if the management and staff are not. Table 59 has barely begun its journey and it will need to up its game PDQ if it hopes to make it to the finish line. We want to love this food. Can we? We'll wait a while and try again. Hope springs eternal. read more

From the moment you walk till the moment you step out AMAZING service!!!! Adrian did an absolutely high class experience! My husband and I always have to travel so far to find a 5 Star restaurant for Date Night didn't believe Merced had one BUT here it is Table 59!!!!!! Definitely found a perfect dinner place for us. Food was well made in every sense of the word! And customer service beyond excellent!!! Don't hesitate to stop by it's a whole Vibe!!! read more

The Food is amazing , I drive an hour away just to eat here. The service is amazing, Im always greeted with a huge smile and hospitality. The Ambiance or vibes are immaculate, they always play some dope music and the whole experience is just a good time! read more

I love the ambiance and elegant interior of the restaurant. I chose to celebrate my daughter's Sweet 16 party in one of the private party rooms. The table set up was impeccable with beautiful lighting, music, and a customized menu print out. They allowed for me to bring in additional birthday props like a balloon arch and flowers. My guests were served a delicious garden salad, warm bread with butter, followed by their main course of steak and shrimp, steak and chicken, or chicken fettuccine. Our food was delectable! The steaks were well seasoned and cooked to perfection and the chicken was nice and juicy. Afterwards, we were able to enjoy a slide show and do the father daughter dance. The team was very attentive serving my guests drinks and making sure the glasses for our toast and the cake was served to all guests as the night progressed. My family and guests we raving how Table59 is a hidden gem in Merced! I couldn't agree more. Thank you so much for an amazing night and excellent service for my guests. I will definitely plan another event or even a date night in the near future. read more

I had my son's graduation party on June 22, 2024. Adrian and his team were very accommodating and our food was delicious! Their service was excellent. I would not hesitate to have another party at Table 59. Thank you for a great day! read more

Nice restaurant, great ambiance, good food. Had a 90th birthday party for friend here and staff took great care of everyone.

Mimosa Brunch is a must!! Their brunch menu is great and the mimosas are even better. Music and ambience is very enjoyable. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a Sunday Funday activity with friends/family. read more

Just came across this restaurant a couple weeks ago for dinner and was so impressed that I brought another friend today after learning they were open for lunch. The Penne Milano is so delish that I ordered it both times but I'm ready to try something new the next time... maybe the Shrimp Scampi. I tasted it at the dinner with my other friend and the light lemon sauce was out of this world.. I can't wait to return. read more

My wife and I went here for our wedding anniversary thinking it was a very nice and elegant place to eat for our celebration. The place looked nice and clean and the waiters were great. And this is why I give 2 stars. The food on the other hand, I was highly disappointed and unsatisfied. We ordered the appetizer spinach dip which was not very pleasing and the baguette tasted stale. I got the chicken fettuccine and I had to send it back I couldn't even eat it, and I usually never do this as it's very embarrassing but for the price I had to send it back as I wasn't going to eat it. The waiter kindly took it off the bill. The margarita pizza my wife got was okay. The pricing of the food is ridiculous for the quality of food they serve. read more

We recently had our annual Christmas dinner here with about 25 ladies. The service was excellent the waitresses did an excellent job of keeping the orders correct.. I know how difficult it is to serve that many people at once but they did a great job most of us had steak which was good. Others had shrimp trio and I heard no complaints. We will definitely be doing another dinner here and would recommend it if your having a large group. The banquet room is very nice and can fit quite a bit of people comfortably.. read more
