Wonderful experience from start to finish! My boyfriend and I are new to the Scottsdale area and were looking for a place to enjoy a relaxing and delicious meal. It has been a long week of unpacking and getting situated with our new jobs lol. This location was located in a beautiful shopping and dining area called the district. Being Friday night, the parking lot was packed and traffic was heavy, but we didn't mind. It was to be expected. California Pizza Kitchen has always been a go to place of ours when we want something we know will be yummy and worth our money. As soon as we walked in, the Hostess Laura greeted us warmly and sincerely. Her demeanor was calm but confident, and her smile was contagious. As she showed us to the table, she actually took the time to ask us how we were enjoying our evening and make pleasant conversation. She waited till we were seated to hand us our menus (loved that!) explained how it was free to join their rewards program, and that David our server would be right with us. David was absolutely incredible!! Super friendly and funny from the beginning. He was professional and knew the menu very well, but also made you feel comfortable. He recommended an Alaskan lager instead of the Sam Adams Winter lager because they didn't have it for my boyfriend. He loved it! And a strawberry sweetened ice tea for myself. It was out of this world! Definitely getting it every time I go from now on lol. He checked on us often, refilled our drinks, and made sure our meal was tasting great when it arrived. It was delicious as always of course. My boyfriend had the jambalaya and I had the pesto cream penne. David also took the time to add our meal to my boyfriends rewards credit after he had signed up. All together, this was THE best experience we've had from start to finish when dining out! Can't wait to go back! Ask for David if you ever decide to dine at this location! He made our week.
