Restaurant suggestions for the Salida/Modesto area?

Looking for a casual place to have dinner with my wife as we pass thru town. Not fast food tho. Something a step up would be fine. Any suggestions?

She is coming from the Bay Area, I'm coming from Yosemite.

Canal Street Grill in Ripon is nice. Right off 99. You can be casual or dressy and fit in. The food rocks.I also like Appetiz. Same rules on dress maybe a bit more casual. Pretty small place, excellent food. For mexican, La Morinita on Coffee Rd and Sylvan Ave. is good, or maybe, for Italian, Bella Italia on Coffee Rd. Then there's Chefs of New York pizza and pasta. Super good food, tiny- busy family owned place. The dad usually brings out the food and checks to make sure you are happy. There's more, it's just a question of what you'd like...

Agreed on La Morenita, been going there since forever.. I know its a chain, but the mall has a BJs now and I love that place. Just if you go to the La Morenita at Hatch road, make sure you dont leave valuables in you car. the restaurant is nice, but thats a pretty rough neighborhood.
