Your rating for this listing
Definitely impressed with this restaurant. They have a lot of different choices for just about every palate. The service was friendly and speedy. The food tasted absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend giving this place a try. I would recommend the spicy pasta or I hear the shrimp enchiladas are good as well. I had the fried chicken linguine and it was well seasoned. The papas are a good portion size to share, and was flavorful as well. They do have some alcohol and plenty of space for a party if needed. My only recommendation is that I hope they add a burger to the menu (I didn’t see one on the menu) and there was an incessant beeping coming from the kitchen. It was only mildly bothersome as the music turned to drown out most of the noise. Highly recommended and I will return for another meal.
New gem in town! Came in for brunch for my first time. Surprised on the cleanliness and super friendly customer service. Our server Jamie was amazing and attentive to all our needs. The owner/chef came out to see how the food was and to have a quick chit chat about his restaurant. He told us he used to be the chef at LOZAS!! Our food smelled delicious and looked so appetizing. Mom our first bite we were all in heaven. The food was perfection and super delicious. This is definitely my new spot in town. 100% recommended!!!
First time coming and many more soon! Our server Kevin was sweet and took good care of us! We ordered the Chimichurri Ribeye and the Seared Salmon. The mash potatoes were whipped nicely and very creamy! The Lemon Caper Sauce was delicious and was paired nicely with the salmon. Both meats were juicy and melts in your mouth. Definitely worth the price and hope this place becomes a staple in our community.
Food was delicious and flavorful, it definitely surpassed its expectations. I love a humble beginning. I hope that as chef excels in his restaurant that he can move to a location that has the atmosphere that would would really embody what he offers in the kitchen to his patrons. I see him doing very well requiring reservations in downtown Turlock. I hope he takes this so much farther.
Place was nice. Service was good. Food was good. Only bad thing that I have to say is the chairs could use some cushion because they start hurting after a while.
New to Turlock and a great place to go! Really great food. We had the meatloaf and pork schnitzel which were both amazing. The honey butter bread was out of this world for our appetizer! The staff is friendly and we were checked on many times. Great addition to Turlock !
Wanted to try a new place and very happy I chose this place. The service and food were amazing. Emily was very attentive. Food came out at a good time and was very flavorful. Definitely recommend the spicy chicken pasta. The pesto chicken was also very good! I also recommend the taquitos. Will be visiting more.
We stopped by here for the first time yesterday, the food was absolutely delicious. The chimichuri steak and chicken pesto pasta were both amazing! Friendly staff as well.
