Neighbourhood gem

Experience dining like never before in our unique restaurant, set in a former concrete wine storage tank. Unwind on our charming terrace, reminiscent of an Italian Piazza, with a refreshing craft cocktail or a glass of wine expertly selected by our sommelier. Our eclectic menu features locally-sourced, seasonal dishes, all prepared from scratch.

Our menu is a blend of classic dishes with a modern twist, showcasing favorites such as our grilled steak of the night, delectable pastas, and succulent scampi. Conveniently located just off the Lodi wine trail in Lockeford, California, we are the perfect stop halfway between the San Francisco Bay Area and Lake Tahoe, 1/2 mile west off scenic Hwy 88.

Join us for an unforgettable dining experience that celebrates the best of local ingredients and culinary innovation.

We went there for our anniversary. The food quality was good and better than any other place in the Lockeford area for sure. The ambience was different than most but quaint. The restaurant is located inside an old concrete winery wine tank. The restrooms are located about a block away but are nice once you get there. The chef prepared a great ribeye and rack of lamb for my wife and I and we enjoyed it.

We noticed plenty of staff however the service was snail slow took over an hour for our food and it was just pasta. Our tea and wine took over 20 minutes from when we ordered it to get to our table. The waitress never came back around to ask if we needed anything or to refill drinks. The waitress had 2 dish rags hanging from the back of her jeans which looked very unpleasant. We have had similar experiences there but decided to try again and now we will not go back.

The food was delicious. We ordered ribeye, filet migon and rack of lamb. All were flavorful and tender. Our server was attentive and entertaining. It had been a long time since we had indulged in a steak dinner so we were very happy not to have been disappointed.
