    If I could give my experience today, 10 stars, I would! Nicole was an amazing server. She was attentive, professional, and very kind. She made my delicious meal a wonderful experience. Additionally, management was personable and professional , and making sure everything ran very smoothly. This was one of my favorite dining experiences at Tavern on the Green. Thank you again Nicole for providing such an impeccable service!

    Whether one’s craving traditional Italian flavors or a Spanish twist, my partner, our friends, and I decided on this BYOB establishment located at a strip mall on Mercer Street in Lodi. A reservation was easily made on Open Table for 6 persons at 6:30 pm tonight.   Named after the former owner and self-trained chef, Sergio Mejia, the outside of Sergio’s Missione looks like a storefront. However, for some of us as first-timers, we would think it’s either a church or an antique shop where religious-themed objects and artwork ran throughout, adding a nice touch.   We were greeted by the host and promptly shown to our table. Despite the Italianate menu and decor, many of the specials show French, Spanish, and American influences, which our server, Carlos, recited a list of specials consisting of several appetizers and entrees besides the listed special page with the regular menu being à la carte at a decent price.   For starters, we decided on Calamari Fritti, Half Shell Blue Point Oysters, and Beet Salad. For our main meal, we opted for Vitello Marsala, Chicken Parmigiano, Linguini alla Vongole, Ravioli alla Sergio, Fettuccini Bolognese, and Rigatoni Sicilianao. We even saved room for desserts: Churros, Crème Brûlée with some coconut shavings, and Pistachio Cake   One could see the delight in the faces of the patrons who ordered when their food was set before them. We were delighted as well, the flavors melting perfectly in every sweet, savory, salty bite. The food was amazingly delicious, cooked to perfection with fresh ingredients from appetizers to dessert, beautifully presented, and service never rushed.   The owner, Adriana, managed to visit our table to exchange a few words, and her staff was very attentive.    We enjoyed spending time with our friends, which we can continue to recommend this place.
