M & J Bistro - Tracy, California

Went here with some coworkers after work and it was really good. The staff is really nice and very helpful. The appetizers were super yummy. The Salmon was a bit overcooked but it still was very tasty. The drinks they make were also very well done.

I dont usually like to compare, but this place reminds me of Flemings, Morton's or Ruth's Chris. You'll get the same quality, IMO. As always, I started with a smoked Old Fashioned. This was extremely strong. I didnt taste any simple syrup at all. I'm okay with that, but just be prepared. They didnt use a large cube or ball of ice.

This was the best clam chowder I've tried in California. I can tell it's fresh and homemade. There are large chunks of clams, potatoes, and celery in this. I had a cup which came with a slice of French sourdough bread. It was absolutely perfect.

I had the Walnut Oil Bistro Bruchette which was a tomato, fresh mozzarella , feta cheese and topped with a vinaigrette dressing. A bit messy, but very good.

My entree came with a side salad and it wasn't anything special but it is perfect in size to hold me over until the entree came.

The main attraction tonight was the lobster and filet mignon. It sat on a bed of thick mashed potatoes, long sliced carrots and fresh green beans. I had it medium rare (as you should), and holy ... SMOKES, did it ever deliver. Tender, juicy and incredibly flavorful. The veggies were crisp and cooked to perfection. The lobster had a nice layer of seasoning on top and came with a butter dip.

I decided to treat my mouth once again by ordering a crepe with ice cream inside and topped with whipped cream along with chocolate sauce. It turned out to be too much to finish but it was rich, decadent and the perfect way to finish the night. There was a bit of caramel on the plate as well.

Came here twice with a good friend on their recommendation, and the food has been great tasty. It makes you want to come back to try everything on the menu at least once. So far, I've gotten Mary's rack of lambs plate and the Chilean salmon plate. Both were good, proportions are great too. The staff have exceptional hospitality too.

We were recommended by several friends to try this establishment. My husband and I took their advice and went for lunch today. We were immediately impressed with the interior and decor. An array of beautiful wine?choices is displayed. We were greeted by a waiter dressed in professional attire. His name was Brian, and he was personable and amazing. His personalized ? and ? ?ade and his recommendations of the best dishes were on point! Brian was down to earth and left us wanting to return. Secondly, the owner, Mr. Jason Rucker impressed us with his professionalism, attire, and friendliness, He took the initiative to meet with his vendors, yet assisted his staff in every aspect necessary. He not only conversed with diners, he cleaned tables, served diners, and greeted those exiting the restaurant. He came over to our table and replenished our ? ?container. He asked if we wanted another ade before we left, and Brian fixed me one to go. He was genuinely curious about our experience & satisfaction. Additionally, he let me try a trial soup and sample wine ?I'd never tried. Both were delicious, as were the dishes Brian suggested! The establishment and bathrooms are clean. The color scheme and ambiance are great! The chefs are skilled, professional, respectful, friendly, and work together well. The prices are reasonable. Mr. Rucker was genuine, down to earth, and hilarious. He took his time speaking with us, and it made the delicious meal worth every dollar! We've lived in this town since 1999. I can't believe this joint has been right under our noses since 2009. We've gone back a couple more times since this review!! !!!

Went for dinner for the first time. Booths seem too small with the big table in the middle makes them cramped. The greeter/waiter is nice and friendly but a bit to chatty. Food was excellent. The steak I had was cooked well and was a good sized portion. I got my salad at the same time as the meal. I normally like it before. But i think they bring it with dinner there. I should have said i want it before main course. The neopolitan crepe was excellent for dessert. Overall very good place to go on a date and have a nice meal.

We have had nothing but 5 star experiences here! From birthday celebrations to last minute dinner out, every experience has been a joy. From servers to bartenders to the owner each encounter has been top notch. This is in the top three of dining experiences and I only say that so the other two don’t get hurt feelings.
