Dancing Fox Winery & Brewery — Restaurant in Lodi

The restaurant's decor reminds me of Tuscany, it is beautiful to look at.The problem appears to be in the service and the taste of the food. The server was aloof,curt,and downright arrogant. As a person who works for with customers on a daily basis I would assume that social skills would be required for the job. Although I have lived in Lodi for 1.5 years ,I waited until my parents drove from Los Angeles to eat at the Dancing Fox. The yelp reviews were 4 stars and from the appearance of the restaurant I thought my parents would love the place. The food was prepared with little to no taste which surprised me as the order was fairly simple. We ordered a patty melt, two hamburgers and french fries. The fries tasted like frozen ORE-IDA with absolutely no seasoning, the hamburgers were no better than Denny's. Now it is time to describe the patty melt which came on two pieces of bread thick enough to be considered a pastry. My father had to take the sandwich home so that I could replace the bread and put sauce on it. Might I add that the hamburgers did not include even a dollop of mustard, ketchup, or any sauce. The waiter never asked how the food was and did not care that it had barely been touched. My boyfriend had to ask repeated times for a refill on his water with only 4 other patrons in the entire establishment. When the waiter arrived I asked if I also could get a refill and was met with a sarcastic tone " ohhhh, you too." I am not from a small town but from a big city for many years and have eaten at 1-5 star restaurants in my time. If I could give the dancing fox a negative star I would. A bit of advice- GET...

We went during a very busy Saturday time for lunch. Seating both indoors and out was packed. We waited a long time for our order to be taken. There was no kid menu or kid-friendly option although there are some items such as pizza and sandwiches that a kid could enjoy. Our server was very pleasant but the food was disappointing. Our kid ordered the pretzel, which was too hard, too cold, and he didn't like the mustard. Pub cheese might be a good addition for them to consider. I asked for a sample of one of the beers, which came after a very long wait. The beer was the high alcohol Wolf beer which I found to be very strong. I liked it a lot but I did not order it because I thought that a pint would be too insane. They should think about allowing a half pint order on that beer. The wine was just okay. We ordered the rose and it was not very cold. The beer was very cold and perfect for me. I ordered the French dip which arrived rather cold. The fries were good though. I would guess that the food and service would be a whole lot better at a less busy time. It was our first time to Lodi and we enjoyed walking up and down that area and visiting the little shops and thrift stores. One of the thrift stores, the one that benefits the Boys & Girls Clubs was very busy and had great prices. I am not much of a judge when it comes to antiques, but the antique stores seem to have a good variety and...
