first time here and certainly not our last! Dewz is a swanky chic place and really nice bar area. the service was out of this world. we had WiLL as our waiter and he was Amazing and so knowledgeable with the menu and drinks. Will is fantastic at breaking down the menu for you, he'll talk to you about the dishes and he is excellent at describing the entrees and how it's prepared. my husband and I had the homemade fettuccine pastas, 3 choices for the pastas. I had the prawns and bacon and my husband had beef creamy mushrooms pasta, both was so fuking good! we did it all, wine , cocktails and flourless chocolate cake. we ate like kings and queens. old fashioned is limited, it's a special old fashioned and I highly recommend getting it now! before it's gone. let's just say old fashioned is fat wagyu washed, get Will as your waiter and he will explain the old fashioned to you. thank you WiLL for everything and all your knowledge of the menu and the restaurant's history.

Dewz is a great place to have dinner while in Modesto. You would think there were not a lot of great places to dine in such a small town, but there is, and this is one. We got there a tad early and had no wait at all. The place is very pretty and it is kept in great shape. Even the bathrooms are nice. They have a full bar and a small wine list, which is nice. Make a reservation for weekends. The service is here is great. You are seated and someone is right with you. They check on you, but you are never rushed, and your food comes as ordered and hot. We love all their items. I love their simple salad, it is just a great way to start dinner. Their starter calamari is great with spicy marinara aioli lemon wedges. We also love their pork belly with Korean BBQ steamed bun cucumber jalapeno cilantro daikon-carrots, it is just great. I hate having to pay for bread and their bread is $12.00, to thank I say no thank you. Also, baked brie is also great, but very filling. It has strawberry preserve pickled strawberries pistachio walnut thyme blackberry and balsamic toasted focaccia bread--now I have bread. We love all their steaks, but especially their Prime tomahawk, pan roasted and served with seasonal vegetables, all sauces and your choice of starch. It is huge. The price depends on the size and what the market price is, You will love it. Get it rare. The prices are up there, but reasonable considering what all you get and the wonderful service. Have a great time.

5 star from start to finish and every aspect. Friendly staff. Awesome Bartender Mike, Jay chef came out and talked with us and made a great desert. Drink specials were such a great experience we had to repeat them. I have eaten in many many restaurants all over the states and this is clearly a top favorite for food and experience. Best restaurant of Modesto for sure though would be top in SF, LA or NYC!

Dewz has been one of me and my wife's favorite restaurant! We travel all over the world and eat at very nice Michelin star restaurants. Dewz definitely matches quality and service and will stand toe to toe with any nice restaurant in California or around the world that claim to be the best. I have never had a bad service or a bad food night. Oh, and their classical playlist to modern music is also a very nice touch! If you complain about the price here, then obviously you don't respect the quality of food and service that they provide. If you ever thought about going, just go! You will not regret it!

I always enjoy going to this restaurant. They always have delicious food to eat. Their atmosphere was a little bit louder than I thought it should have been. I expected to have a quiet calm dinner. Instead there was another table full of like 5 or 6 people that were pretty loud. I hope next time the atmosphere is not as loud. It is a very nice restaurant. Their décor is very nice. The waitress was very nice explaining the specials twice. All the waiters and waitresses were very good attending to us. They were also very polite while attending to us. My salmon plate was very delicious. I enjoyed the sauce it had add. The bread with the garlic, Olive oil and vinegar was very tasty. I can't wait to dine in this restaurant again soon.

Stopped here for drinks and dessert after dinner and enjoyed both! The chocolate cake was too rich for me personally but not terrible overall. Great service and ambiance. I'd love to return to try an actual meal.
