Best Date Night Restaurants in Ripon

Great service & food!

Early dinner prior to an event at the Gallo Center. The food, service, and ambiance were all great. Definitely the go-to restaurant in downtown Modesto!

I will definitely be back. I wish I had remembered our server's name. She was a slender white woman who did a great job.

We chose this restaurant for a birthday celebration, and it did not disappoint! Cathy, our server, was fantastic and made the experience enjoyable. The food was reasonably priced and of great quality. The steaks were perfectly cooked to our request, the sides were tasty, and the clam chowder was outstanding. The staff was incredibly accommodating when I requested to add two extra people to our reservation, and I appreciated that they allowed side substitutions without any additional charge. Overall, a wonderful experience! We will be back. The Smiths

Last night was a memorable one. My partner and I enjoyed the salmon, carrots and crab fried rice with a split of champagne. Oh, and the bar drinks were way above the usual standards. Definitely recommend Ernie’s if you enjoy fine dining.
