SURLA's

What began as a casual stop on the way home from a work trip unfolded into a remarkable dining experience that exceeded expectations at every turn. The restaurant’s design immediately impressed, elegant yet inviting, with an attention to aesthetic detail that reflects the care found throughout the meal. Live soft music filled the space, creating an atmosphere that felt both intimate and unpretentious, setting the stage for a memorable evening. The evening began with a red velvet cocktail, a clever creation that balanced sweetness and depth with finesse. The flavors were harmoniously infused, each sip revealing a layered complexity that lingered pleasantly on the palate. For the starter, the meatballs arrived perfectly sauced bold, rich, and beautifully textured. The seasoning struck a satisfying balance between hearty and refined. A dish of lumpia followed, light and indulgent in equal measure, each bite delivering a delicate crispness that gave way to a tender interior. The main course steak was the evening’s highlight: impeccably cooked, well-rested, and bursting with flavor. Each slice revealed a perfect sear and a juicy tenderness that demonstrated both technical skill and respect for the ingredient. What makes this restaurant special isn’t just the execution , it’s the experience. From ambiance to plate, every element feels intentional and thoughtfully crafted. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, savor, and remember why dining out can be such a joy. I’ll gladly make the trip from Sacramento again, this time with family . This establishment is not just a stop along the way, it’s a destination in itself.

Amazzzzzing food !!!! When I say amazing .. it’s an u understatement .. it was our first time here . We ordered lumpia as an appetizer ( bomb ) and I ordered the pork chop . ( beyond delicious) the atmosphere was very upscale and reminded me of a Napa valley restaurant.. there was a very talented guitarist playing beautifully. The server was very kind as well. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely be back!

Maaaaan ! I try my best to describe AMAZING. This was our first time here , I was not disappointed one bit . The service was incredible from beginning to end , restrooms , super clean . Live music , the whole atmosphere made me feel like so amazing, like I just won a million dollars . Luxury wrapped in good vibes ! Amanda our server was the best ! The smoke and mango cocktail , was perfect, me and wife had the Land land , sea appetizer , I ate most of it myself. It was so good I ordered one to go ! My wife had the Miso glazed salmon, which was delicious, I had to try a bit 😀 . Cooked perfect and tasted perfect. I ordered a Blue cheese crusted NY steak . It was really good , something different from what I've had before, but i was not disappointed. Sometimes we need to treat ourselves to the good this in life and Surla's is one of those things . For a nice classy luxurious dinner , come here . Perfect for any occasion and the whole family, if you live or are passing through Modesto Ca , this is a must try . For the price , you get a lot more .
