Fiori's Butcher Shoppe & Deli

Fiori??s Butcher Shoppe is the BEST in Lodi! I??ve been going here for years. They have the most delicious sandwiches!!! Try one and I??m sure you??ll be back for more! They also have an offering of European specialty products, a wide selection of wines, and probably the best cheese assortment in town. They??re always busy as most of Lodi knows what a treasure this place is. Try to avoid the lunchtime crowd or simply call ahead. The staff is great and prices are reasonable. You??ll love it!

Velvet Grill & Creamery

You can't go wrong with The Velvet Creamery. They have the most delicious soup and great sandwiches. The service is typically good and the prices definitely reasonable.

Guild Cleaners

They do a very good job and and are super convenient. All you need to do is drive up and they'll meet you to pick up/drop off your clothes. They offer the best service in Lodi and their prices are great!

City Grille

City Grille is such a charming place. I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed. The atmosphere is like a small, chic bistro. They have great service and good prices. It's a perfect place for a business lunch or cozy dinner date. Everything is good!!

Willow Spa

Driving up, I didn't know what to expect. Willow Spa turned out to be an oasis in the midst of busy, cluttered Santa Monica Boulevard. It was the most relaxing experience from start to finish.
I had the 60-minute Zen-tastic massage and it was the greatest massage I've ever had. The price was very reasonable...only $95.

Gateway Hotel Santa Monica

I made a reservation on-line and even called the day prior to check-in to confirm the reservation and reiterate we would be checking in late. We arrived late Friday night as scheduled and they had no record of the reservation. Then they said they had no rooms available and tried to put us in another Best Western in a worse location. It was horrible. I was so upset and refused accept the 'other' Best Western. Miraculously, they found two rooms and were able to work it out, but it took a lot of time to get them to cooperate. Very frustrating and lesson learned.

True Art Nails & Spa

I came here because my usual spot was closed. I received a manicure, pedicure, and eyebrow wax. They did a good job and they were friendly. When I see the word 'Spa' in the title, I usually think luxury, but the shop is located in a little run-down looking shopping center and the interior of the salon is just your average corner nail place.

Prices were typical so if you're in a hurry and need a place to stop...they'll do a decent job.

Comfort Diner

When I first moved to New York, Comfort Diner was the diner on the corner I would visit for coffee and and muffin all the time!! Eventually it did become a familiar, comfort place to me. They have the best tuna melt sandwiches. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. It's always busy, the prices are reasonable and the service good.

Baluchi's

This is the place that got me hooked on Indian food. My roommate and I used to come here all the time and we were never disappointed. They have the best Chicken Tikka Masala. Their prices are so reasonable and their service has always been great....it's a must visit!

Sher E Punjab

We had an early dinner at Sher-E-Punjab. Their hours are a little funny, so be sure to call or check their website before heading out. I remember we had to wait for them to open at 5:00 for dinner. We were the first ones in at 5:00, but it filled up pretty quickly. They have a buffett, but we chose to be seated. The food is so delicious and the atmosphere comfortable. I ordered and LOVED the Tikka Masala. If you're new to Indian food, try this dish. The prices are reasonable also, which makes this a great place to visit.
