"I had an incredible evening at Fleming's. I decided to go all out and ordered the most expensive item on the menu, which was absolutely fantastic. We also enjoyed about 10 bottles of wine and 6 cocktails throughout the night. It was a truly memorable experience!"

What an AMAZING experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was incredible! Honestly, this place reminds me of something you would find inside Disneyland! The attention to detail, creativity, and storytelling make it so much more than just a restaurant. It’s truly an experience! The drinks were AMAZING, and I loved that the bartender even took the time to share the stories behind them! It’s those little details that make this place so special. We ordered the “Char-BOO-terie” board and the Vampire Flatbread, and both were delicious! The portions were huge, definitely enough to be full meals on their own! We left happy, impressed, and already talking about coming back! I would recommend ODD Bodkins to EVERYONE! We can't wait to go back and see what else this place has up its sleeve!

We’ve eaten at the restaurant several times over the years and the one thing that stands out is the food consistency and the weight staff attentiveness. We celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary last night. Our server, Lauren P was very helpful, very pleasant, left us alone and we needed to be left alone and came forward with suggestions about dinner. We started the meal off with the fermented duck fries- very good very filling. For dinner I had Chilean Seabass with mashed potatoes and cauliflower and broccoli. My wife had the sea scallops in the lemon cream sauce with papperdelle. Both are outstanding for dessert of course we had to have their famous bread pudding. Each had a glass of wine. I had an espresso and the meal was well worth it. The only critique if I had one at all was the lemon cream sauce with my wife’s scallops was a little thin. It could’ve been cooked a little longer and thickened up a bit, but if that’s the only complaint, I don’t have many.

We drove in an hour to town for an appointment and then had another WONDERFUL lunch at Max's Bistro. With the rain it seemed more people stayed much longer and it was a real happening place. Once again GREAT experience with the ambiance, food selections that were very delicious as always and their great staff. This is truly one of our top restaurants in Fresno.

No matter who I sit with. As an individual or with friends at the bar. Watching the team flow behind the bar, and work together as a team is amazing. Not missing a beat. Josh is such a knowledgeable bartender. Knows where each and every ingredient is sourced, originates, and created. Having that type of knowledge serving your drinks really assures patrons in their choices that the make.
