The food and service were good. The problem was that I was told that they took the Rad Card but when we went to pay with our Rad Card, they said they didn't have the tablet so we had to pay cash or credit card. They are also listed on the Rad Card website.

The lighting was very dim thus making it difficult to read the menu. Our waitress was very helpful. However, another waitress could not be bothered to help us with more water or ordering another cocktail. The food was good - nothing to write home about. The rolls were stale - hard.

Very nice restaurant staffed with nice people. My wife and I dressed for the occasion and was a little off-put that they allow people to dine wearing shorts, tee-shirts and flip flops. This is a nice restaurant not a pool side grill! Maybe if they raised their prices to match the caliber of the food & service they would attract a better clientele.

Very romantic setting. Cute little lights on each table so you could actually read the menu. Service was wonderful. Big menu for a small restaurant. We were celebrating our 38th wedding anniversary and loved it!

A very classy setting with a full menu. The crab cakes my husband had were freshly made and he said the best he's had in years. We will be returning in the near future.

Wonderful wait staff!!! Very clean room. Great food. Only complaint was chicken Marsala was not browned and didn’t taste anything like Marsala wine. Salads, steaks and other pasta dishes are great. This is our new favorite place to eat. Not a lot of places in Modesto but we recommend this one.

All of the food was delicious. We had a party of 6 and felt they accommodated us well. We ordered the cheese that’s set on fire for an appetizer. Oh my, such fun to watch and then so very tasty with the pita!

Everyone’s (group of 10) food was either overcooked or not cooked enough. Heat was not working so it was freezing in there. Had to eat with our coats on. We paid and left all the food on the table because it would take to long to make everyone new dishes.

First time at this restaurant and was very pleased with the food and service. Seafood raviolis and the gyros plate were both prepared well and very tasty. It was surprisingly quiet as there were only three tables that were occupied by guests. The server said it was unusual because ordinarily it’s rather busy on a Saturday evening. The server was very attentive and pleasant. The Manhattan I ordered from the bar was just ok. Personally I didn’t care for the look of their chairs as it clashed with the wall decor. But I’m sure most people don’t pay as much attention to that stuff as I do. Overall it was a very good experience and I’d definitely go back and would recommend it to others.
