Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Lodi

Food & cocktails were excellent. Each of us had a different kind of steak & sides, & everything was consistent. Staff was friendly & attentive. Love the speakeasy type vibe of this restaurant. Pretty good offerings of wine. While not inexpensive, food & drinks are a good value. Each visit here has been a good experience.

Thanksgiving dinner exceeded my expectations. The food, the ambience and the service were exceptional. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

We stopped by Ella's bar for appetizers and drinks at the bar while waiting for a friend. Claire W, working the bar, immediately made us feel at home. Cocktails, wine, and a couple of small plates, and everything was perfect. Super yummy, nicely presented, perfect portions. Claire answered all our questions, gave us good insight into what to expect from the small plates, and her wine recommendations were spot-on. Claire also has the perfect personality for the hospitality industry. Warm, open, patient, knowledgeable, and fun. We loved her!!! Next time we fly in to Sacramento, we're definitely heading to Ella's. You should too!!!

We almost always eat in Oakland, Berkeley and SF because it's hard to find good food and flavors through the tunnel. Hideout nails it. The lamb shank, the fried chicken, the squash all as good as you get in the City. Delicious. Could still use some work on their craft cocktails, but the food was excellent.

Exceptional lunch today at the Exchange. The butternut squash salad is amazing. Split the salad and the brie and bacon sandwich and were very pleased with both. Service was great, too. Only wish for the restaurant there were more people enjoying this wonderful menu today. But it is Thanksgiving week and raining....
