    Dined on a busy Saturday night. Michele was helpful with selections and wonderfully enthusiastic. Specials were just that..special. Fish and scallops prepared perfectly and plated with a very nice combination of risotto and seasonal vegetables. The variety of tastes around the plate were constantly changing and all very nice. Portions were larger than we were expecting. A wonderful night. Looking forward to next visit.

    We arrived for a 745 reservation, and we were seated at 7:50. We watched as several other tables were seated in our section. One table in that section was halfway through their meal and their waitress came to their table regularly. No one else got served in that section: not a water drop off, not a greeting, not an apology. Nothing. at 8:10, we walked back to the front and told the hostess we were leaving as we had not seen a waiter. Her comment was, oh we’ve had a lot of trouble since it started raining. I have been to Modesto many times as a local. I assume I will try it at some point in the future. Very disappointing performance.
