Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Modesto

Early dinner prior to an event at the Gallo Center. The food, service, and ambiance were all great. Definitely the go-to restaurant in downtown Modesto!

Food was excellent, the fish plates were great, service was fantastic. Will return soon, only problem is they are closed on Sundays, which I work in the Bay Area and Sunday is really the only day I have the time to enjoy Modesto.

Came in for my birthday dinner with the family. Yu’s was packed out on a Thursday nite. Took them a while to get service to us but we weren’t in a hurry. Drinks were ordered and came super quick - dim sum order and was delightful - we try to get something different (our second time here so we’re still exploring the menu). Duck spring rolls were brilliant - sea bass puffs were outstanding. Mains ordered - triple crown was nice but a little underwhelming. Garlic noodles and the spicy aubergine were on point. Liking this place more every time we come - we’ll be back!

Our waiter was the best. Friendly he explained everything that was needed. The food was yummy. Just the right amount.

Super friendly. We were quickly greeted and seated by the owner Damon. Wine selection is impressive. It continues to change over the years , always replacing a selection with a better one. We chose the whipped feta appetizer. Delicious and just the right amount for 4 people to share. I was so happy to see their lemon chicken orzo soup on the specials menus. Added that to a chicken pesto, apple, & Brie panini and my evening was perfect. Excellent food, excellent service, always a treat to visit Camp 4 in downtown Modesto.
