| - I just don't understand what all the hype is about this place. Sure its cute, and has an amazing location in downtown Glendale. The lighting and ambiance set a nice relaxing mood. We loved the chef photographs on the wall, a definite eyecatcher for the artsy district. My kids got calzones with sauce. The sauce was good, rich, thick and just the right amount of sweetness.
That's the good news. The patrons were snooty, and packed in tight. The servers seemed equally snooty. Our little server seemed frustrated with us, rushed us on ordering, and genuinely didn't seem to want to be there. It made ME not want to be there. I got the cattle herd feeling, like I was being rushed in and forced to order, and get the hell out of there as soon as possible.
The crust was blackened. When I asked about it, the server told me it was supposed to be like that.
The soda bottles were fun and nostalgic, but I prefer fountain drinks. It seemed like a cheap way to keep drink costs down and keep the servers less busy filling drinks.
The food seemed a little overpriced to me. The server didn't seem very attentive, and didn't notice that I didn't eat. That's okay. Plenty of other customers were just waiting for my seat. I just don't get it.
Do your customers a favor and find chairs that are more comfortable! I'm willing to overlook all of the above, except for those god awful metal chairs. Maybe the chairs are uncomfortable so that you will leave faster. I know it worked for me.
