The Most Delectable Lounges in Fresno

The Secret Garden

★★★★☆ 3.9 (367) • $$

"I'm not a fan of this place. The service isn't great. Nobody seems to have a good attitude or like their job working there. Every time I've gone in (because my mom likes it) it always takes forever just to get service. Took us 30 min just to get drinks today or even a waiter come to our table. We had to wave someone down. The food is overpriced when it's just mediocre. Nothing special about the food. There are so many better places."

M&M Italian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (310) • $$

"It's our family's go to when we gather during the holidays! The food is always the best-tasty and plentiful. Service is always top notch; waiters are patient and attentive. M&M is on the main road in Los Banos with plenty of parking and seating--even a few banquet rooms of various sizes to accommodate your every need. Small or large gatherings, you can count on great food and great service in a welcoming atmosphere of family dining!"

The Post Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (112) • $$

"This restaurant is so nice! I see why people get married here. I was a little worried I was underdressed but they have a very chill atmosphere. Tonight they have a comedy show and a 2 for $13 shots special. The service was wonderful!"

The River Restaurant & Lounge

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (111) • $$

"Nice spot along the river. Staff was very friendly. Limited amount of menu items. I had the grilled chicken breast, my wife had the fettuccine. The rice and the veggie sides were fine, but the chicken breast was bone-dry, severely overcooked, worst condition I have ever experienced from a grilled chix breast (inedible). My wife said that her fettaciune was ok. We got a slice of carrot cake to-go and it was actually quite good. In addition to the food being overall marginal, the menu is grossly overpriced. Go for some drinks, get some dessert, but it would be more satisfying to get a refrigerated pre-packaged sandwich from the convenience stor on-site."

Ryderz Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (162) • $$

"Had an amazing side salad that is actually a main course! So fresh and so delicious! The service is is fast and considerate. It's always a pleasure to eat here. Dessert is always an option and they tend to be very yummy as well!"

DiCicco's Old Town Clovis

★★★☆☆ 3 (384) • $$

"Stopped in Sunday for a late lunch with my granddaughter. Love the new look inside. I had manicotti and my girl had shrimp fettuccine. We loved it, especially the bread which is always delicious. Wonderful service from Kristina V. Out of all the restaurants that come and go, I'm happy this one is still here."

Bellevue Bowl

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (92) • $$

"The food is okay, service is good, bowling is funI don't think I can comment much on the bowling, it was fun, but my bowling high score was 75... They had bumper bowling for the kids and adults too. They had a blast playing. There are also bowling assisted equipment there.They also have Laser tag, $8 per person, but we didn't try it this time around.The chili was good, the Korean boneless chicken wings were okay, not crunchy enough, and the garlic fries were excellent.The atmosphere was nice not too loud.They have an arcade inside but a little bit expensive to play the games."

Little Leaf Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (77) • $$

"Pic fail! We started eating before I remembered to take a pic! The Thai Chicken Salad was so delicious and very filling. I love a hardy salad that leaves you satisfied. The chicken comes covered in a deep red sauce that is so yummy. When mixed the salad had plenty of delicious flavor with each bite. I would absolutely order it again. My friend ordered some sliders. They come with two and she devoured them. She kept saying how delicious they were. The Mayo looking sauce on the side was so flavorful and she requested more. She's also used the sauce that came with our egg rolls on her sliders too. That sauce was delicious too! I did order the Mediterranean Egg Rolls. I personally didn't care for them because of the lamb. I believe they use bits of lamb shank which I don't really care for, it's too gamey for me. But if you love lamb shank you'll love this dish too. They were cooked perfectly and the dipping sauce was SO good! I have to come back a try the drinks. The service was awesome, food great, atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. The place is very clean and I can't wait to go back!"

Hadramout Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (51)

"Fantastic food! Everything is prepared in house and is absolutely delicious. The restaurant does not look very grand on the outside. In fact, it is located directly behind a used car showroom. However, do not be deterred, the food is so great. It will bring you back to an area of much needed attention. The food is priced extremely reasonably with dishes ranging from 12 to $20. Traditional Yemeni lamb stew for 24 hours is the highlight of the menu. I highly recommend the Mesa plate which is a combination of stuffed grape leaves, Bubba Hannoush, hummus, falafel with olives and tomatoes. The Yeini bread is a large 10 inch round, baked fresh upon ordering. With a serving of lamb soup, salad, burger, buns, rice, and the entrée you ordered. We ordered chicken, kebabs, and beef kebabs, or were cooked to perfection; moist, tender, and delicious. The service was great. There was a young man, who was highly efficient. He brought food out immediately, and within minutes all of our dishes were presented to us.One of the best items on the menu was in fact that homemade lemonade. I must have! I highly recommend this restaurant and be prepared to be pleasantly surprised!"

The Standard

★★★★☆ 3.6 (159) • $$

"Had so much fun with my bestie! Came on a Thursday night so they had an R&B DJ and piano. So much fun and our server was cool.As the night went on, you could see more people come in dancing, and even a bachelorette party.Food was so good and the basiloma was hit. The lights were fun, we just sat back and had a great time. Can't wait to be back!"

Almond Tree Restaurant & Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.6 (113) • $$

"First time here and place is dope,gives me nostalgia with its old fashion style / decor,even has popcorn ceilings ! How old school is that ,I don't care what anyone says PLEASE DONT MODERNIZE THIS PLACE just because most can't appreciate some O.G style restaurants .."

Slides Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (7)

"The food was good. The pasta portion was huge, I took half of it home which was nice because I had it for lunch the next day. The tri tip nachos were hella good. My son got a regular cheeseburger that I unfortunately didn't take a picture of but he devoured it; so I'm guessing it was good lol. My boyfriend got a Tri tip sandwich (not sure of the name because this visit was from July) but he said the sandwich was ok. Our server was super nice."

Lucky Lotus Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (15) • $$

"Saturday Night--this bar is quite new! Connected to one of the more famous Thai restaurant in Merced. Drink menus are available on one of their Flat screen tv which takes some time to switch out....the night we went was pretty pack mostly every table taken and bar stool almost filled up....it's a bar nothing special to write about a bar lol but it's super clean and new. Only one gender neutral bathroom. You can order food from the restaurant side and they serve you on the bar side just let them know...Bartenders were super nice and hard working but I felt like they struggling a little....seems like they were new at bartending (I could be wrong) one of the bartender broke a glass in front of us poor thing...I'm not sure if it's a bar policy or just that certain bar but the bartender was like I have to keep your card to open??? (I've been to a few bars an usually I can just order a drink(s) and close it right after) kind of threw me off but oh well..."

Vibez Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.6 (79)

"This was my first time going to a brunch and let me tell you, I was very pleased! The music, the staff, and the guests showed exactly why the place is called Vibez! the food was so delicious too I would love to experience that again. The mimosas were amazing, just make sure to drink lots of water cause I felt it the next day for sure."

Manhattan Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (303) • $$$

"The Manhattan has been around for decades, offering good food and impeccable service in an elegant dining room. The staff is kind and welcoming, looking to help each guest have the best dining experience. The desserts are wonderful. Small, busy parking lot with a drive-through Dutch Bros that can create some traffic congestion."

Tommy's Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (348) • $$$

"Food was not the same from our last visit 2 months ago. My wife and I ordered 1 steak dinner and 1 meat loaf dinner. The presentation was the same for both just different meats. Overall the service was outstanding."

The Branding Iron

★★★★☆ 3.5 (476) • $$

"The food is good. I ordered 14 oz rib eye medium rare. Very good with onion and mushroom as toppings. The service is good. They're very prompt to items asked and they will check what you need frequently.The thing I don't like the most is there are flying flies throughout the course. That's really bothersome."

Yosemite View Restaurant & Lounge

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (61) • $$

"Can't beat the value at such a convenient location! I was here the first time in 2012, which left a good impression. I was a little bit concerned about many negative reviews this time before the visit. Luckily, I did not experience those, and my impression is as good as, if not better than, my first time visit more than ten years ago. Food (especially dinner) is quite good and decently priced, and the service was quite professional. Location is second to none! Overall I'd still quite recommend this restaurant if you stay nearby or drive pass the park."

Hook & Ladder Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.7 (51) • $

"Have had family thats been going to this bar since I can remember. And now my friends and I go. This is our go too. Always friendly and provides a great environment. I'm not sure of the bartenders name, but the bald guy always takes cares of us & is always so nice!"

Soya Tea Lounge

★★★★★ 4.7 (58)

"I would say I have been with 50 plus boba tea shop and have tried majority their signature and famous drinks. For me this shop offer far waaaaaaayyyyy to good to be compared off I was even shocked its only 1 location. The mixture of their milk is classy and has a huge different among other milk teas, the green tea I would say is high class grade too how did I know? Because I have owned 1 business before when I was young. While I was drinking the signature it was thrilling and surprising what's on it, cracking chocolate and floating cheese balls and some long jellies really good. From now on I would say this is my ONE and only TOP tea shop! I have been to many tea stores with all my travelling trying teas this is the best one. I hope this company expand more and more that can reach our place. The service is top notch and the food as well. I was very lucky to pass by this area. If your nearby or passing by make sure you try it. I'm even interested on franchising this shopNow this place is my FAVORITE"

Mountain Room Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.6 (98) • $$

"My cousin and I had dinner at the Mountain Room Lounge on Saturday night.Originally, we had been planning to eat here, and then also get pizza at Curry Village. But, between waiting for the shuttle, waiting to be seated, waiting to order, waiting for our check... after being here for over an hour, we decided to just go back to our camp site.So, like I said, the wait time was long. It seemed like they were very severely understaffed. There seemed to basically be one cocktail waitress serving the whole entire huge dining room by herself on a very busy Saturday night.As a highly experienced server, I would expect at least two other servers to work a room this busy with me. I can't believe they had her doing it all alone.We ordered the nachos with chicken and guacamole added. The nachos were bomb. We were both surprised at how great they were. Most of our culinary experiences in Yosemite have not been ideal.The queso sauce on the nachos was delicious. It tasted homemade. The guacamole was basically just mashed avocado, but it complemented everything else perfectly. The salsa seemed like it was probably made in house.We both loved the barbecue sauce on the chicken. I just wished there was a little more chicken, but it was great.After our food was served to us, we weren't spoken to or checked on again for a good thirty to forty five minutes. There was a line of people at the door waiting for a table, and we wanted to pay and give ours up, but weren't able to, due to understaffing.Our server was good, but no one would be able to provide great service to that entire huge lounge while it's packed without help. Overall, the prices were high and the wait was severe, but the food was good."

Lucy's Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.9 (129) • $$

"Live music 7 days a week! Awesome! Never realized this. Very relaxing lounge vibe. Good date spot. Lot of mix drinks on the menu, although their craft beer selection is not up to my standards. It's OK, they claim to be Fresno's first craft cocktail bar so that's their claim to fame. Anyway, I've had a good time everytime I have been in. You should check it out, too"
