| - I was meeting up with a large group of friends recently, and one of them recommended we go to Gus's for dinner. I must say, it was an excellent choice! So one down side to this place is location. I'm from the south, I drive up to Foothills fairly often so I'm good with the route, but unfortunately this place is just a little bit beyond my general knowledge of the area so I did get lost trying to get into the parking lot. The other downside: I think you have to pay for parking. We were there on a Saturday night so the waitress said we didn't have to, but it sounds like you would on other days.
Beyond that I really have nothing to complain about. It's called a Cafe for good reason. It's quaint and homey and is the same size and atmosphere as a cafe making it a really good place to hang out with friends. My group was about 20 and most restaurant staff would be kind of moody with a group of that size but they were really polite (granted we were the only people there). You'd also think with a group of that size ordering at once they'd be really slow at giving us our food (especially with only two kitchen staff) but they were on par with other places. They make mini pizza's (6") which I think is pretty sweet. The menu isn't too fancy but they have some really good sandwich, and pasta choices, but the biggest seller probably is the pizza.
The one thing I really loved was that the waitress wasn't pushy. We sat for hours after finishing our food just to talk, and the only reason we knew they closed at ten was because a couple of us asked, not because they were standing there trying to force us out.
All in all, great atmosphere, fabulous customer service, and pretty darned good food.
