I love that they have a California pizza kitchen at the Boca mall so you can stop in for a quick bite while shopping. My friend and I got BBQ chicken salad and the Chicken Club Pizza (that's my fav). We wanted to order the mac and cheese balls but they were out. Sharing those meals was more than enough, I had to get a togo box.

I eat here regularly and also sometimes order lunch for delivery. Delivery is really where it shines...the chicken side was still warm for today's lunch order. Best salad is the Waldorf chicken. Thanks cali chicken !!

Just had a great dining experience with Omar as the waiter yummy food quick service with a smile. My wife and I shared a Waldorf salad which was excellent. I had a gluten free pepperoni pizza and my wife had a gluten free wild mushroom pizza both were delicious. To drink (this is always my favorite part of this place) I had a captain Morgan's and vanilla rootbeer and my wife had a captains and diet dr. Pepper. They have the new coke machine with like 100 different flavors which is awesome :)

Stopped in for a celebratory group lunch with some colleagues. My friend and I arrived a bit later than the rest of the party and was happy to see that the waitress could accomodate our beverage orders quickly. Pressed for time I skipped the appetizers and went straight for the carnitas pizza on a thin crust. When the food for the rest of the table was brought out, I realized my pizza was prepared on a regular crust. Having noticed the error, our waitress offered to remake the pizza. As we were waiting (no more than 5 mins later) the manager brings over the white corn appetizer as a courtesy. It was delicious! Nice chunks of avocado mixed into white corn and jicama. My pizza arrived within minutes and was absolutely delicious. The flavors were better than expected and was very filling. When our check was brought out, the manager had comped both the appetizer and the pizza for the delay in delivery and mix-up. Above and beyond service and delicious food is definitely going to make another trip to CPK a must!

at dinner here as we speak. We were not done eating apps yet and our main course arrived I feel like we being rushed. I feel like they need a lesson on how to run a kitchen and on timing. One more thing If you have an open kitchen clean your floors up I hate that I'm sitting at the bar and the floor is dirty the funny thing is the manager is in the kitchen and has not done anything about SWEEP YOUR FLOOR....

The food is always good here. They are consistent and I always get either the BBQ chicken pizza or the salad. I've also had the garlic and cheese pizza. The last time I had it though I thought it didn't have as much garlic taste as I remembered so I was a little disappointed. The flavored teas are tasty and appetizer wise the spinach artichoke dip and the dumplings are definite winners. The fried Mac and cheese from the starter menu however is a bust. I've ordered it twice and both times it was the same feeling of, those were some wasted calories that I won't get back. :( Overall I would recommend CPK for either lunch or dinner. Try to avoid peak times because the wait will be long.

Never been to one, as wasn't sure of the concept. California pizza? Do I make my own? And not real big on chains either. But I was always curious, and having been Xmas shopping all afternoon, and not really desiring mall court food, we went with the convenience of having the CPK right at the end of the mall we finished at. Fate brought me to try this place. I really liked the interior, the lights were not bright nor was it dark and we were seated right away. They have flat screens and a view of the kitchen. So first glance of the menu and I see you don't stick the pizza in yourself. Hmm ok, lets try the Moroccan spiced chicken and white-corn guac and chips. I should have realized right away the "California" means "Avocado-in-everything". We ordered the "California Club" pizza. Hey we're at CPK, may as well live out the experience the whole way through! And sure enough, our pizza looked like a salad complete with avocados on top. I'm not complaining, I grew up with them and love them. But my wife doesn't at all, and my kid... forget about it. So I wound up eating mostly all of them, but next time will be holding back on ordering the guac. I was going to give a 3-and-a-half-star, but little things bumped it up. The peach iced tea was great, the bread came with a dipping sauce and was attentive and we just enjoyed the evening after being tired of walking round the mall, so it bumped it up to a 4-star. Would I come again? Sure, but be mindful of all the items with avocado, i'm surprised they haven't come up with a avocado desert! hmmmmm

For a great and unique pizza I come here! Wait staff is always friendly, and the food is always good. The best of course is dessert. Make sure you save room for the butter cake! OMG!!!!! Like you have died and gone to heaven! SO GOOD! We are a regular here and for good reason. Even though it is in the mall it is still an amazing casual dining experience.

We got to CPK regularly because we live close by and they have decent food. We usually eat at the restaurant Tonight we ordered a to-go order, for the first time, for a family of 4. Two pizzas- Spinach and Artichoke and BBQ Chicken Pizza, and two cups of Tortilla Soup. And a side Caesar salad. We ordered online and we're told to pick up at 7:10. When we got there we had to wait for our order because they said the pizza is still in the oven. They brought us our food and good thang we looked because our soup wasn't in there. We live less than 2 miles from CPK. By the time we got home our pizza was cold. I could understand it being warm but it was literally cold. The soups were almost laughable. They were hot but were filled up MAYBE a 1/4 of the container. If that's their cup size, that is a very expensive cup at $4.25. I would advise for a to-go/online order you make sure to really check your order before leaving the restaurant. We ended up having to heat up the pizza when we got home. We did call to let the manager know and their customer service definitely is superior to other places. We will be back because of their excellent customer service.

We hadn't been to this location in quite a while. Wow, what changes! New menu with beautiful pictures and a totally new look in the restaurant. We saw a lot of new faces. Looked like new management. When we said it had been a while since our last visit the hostess named Emily took time to tell us about the new menu. Chris, the manager, came over to greet us shortly after Emily left the table. He wanted to welcome us back and thank us for coming in. He mentioned that CPK was reinventing their menu selection and their look and that Boca was one of the first to do so. He recommended the halibut and the ribeye steak since they were new items. Our server was Jaquez, who was such a polite server. We loved the halibut, the butter cake, the service, the ambiance and the welcoming staff who made sure we loved our experience. This is how CPK just became our favorite restaurant.

My go to place when I need a quick bite to eat (just don't go on the weekends.... wait is 25-30 minutes). Its located smack dab in the middle of the mall... so its pretty convenient if you are shopping. Its not the best pizza in the world.... but its pretty darn good pizza. But if pizza is not your desire, they have an array of other things. One of my favorite dishes is actually a salad. The Thai Crunch salad with avocado.... it is an additional charge for the avocado, but worth it. DO IT! Comes with chicken, cabbage, cucumber, carrots, peanuts, soybeans, and a spicy thai dressing.... SOOOO GOOD!!! But, if you are craving some pizza... well, you will have a long list to choose from. Unfortunately they lost a star because they took my favorite pizza off the menu: The Greek! GONE... bye bye... never to be heard from again. But, they still have one of the best, the pear and Gorgonzola pizza. Get it on honey whole wheat, totally worth it. Slices of pear on the pizza, with hazelnuts and topped with a salad of arugula and Parmesan. Very very good. The Thai and the carnitas is really good too. I've never had anything else there besides soup, salad, pizza and dessert. The peach tea is pretty decent too! Overall, its a decent place to grab some food.

Wow that hit the spot!

I actually never get the pizza. I always get the garlic cream fettucini with chicken. It's probably the best fettucini I've ever had. This location has a covered outdoor area that I like. Being outside is always a nice option. Price: B Food: A Service: Usually B or C Atmosphere: B+

I like this place when hitting the mall. Pizzas are fresh with interesting toppings, and the salads are great. I like the Cobb or the BBQ chicken salad. It's a nice place for a good sit down but quick meal. Beats Panera for a couple dollars more wih service.
Great salads. Pizza is just ok. Not a bargain, but food is solid. $30 for a regular pizza and entree salad. Service is good. Wasn't too busy due to bad rain.

As good as you'll get for a chain. They change up the menu with enough regularity, and they've been looking at both tastes and dietary trends. I tried a new salad with quinoa and greens and it was I want to steal the recipe goodness. If you're at the mall, it's one of the best places to grab a bite.

CPK is back in Boca! They didn't make it a few years back at their location near Houstons, but looks like the new CPK (located within the Town Center Mall) is off to a good start. They were packed on this Tuesday evening, but my mom and I scored a tableon their heated outdoor patio. Gotta love being able to sit on a patio (even if it's a heated one) in March. Yep, Chicago people reading my review...you're jealous, aren't ya? ;) I have to admit I've always been a fan of CPK's pizzas, but tonight we went with the salads. We started with a pita and hummus appetizer. The pita was warm and soft; the hummus was just eh. Then my mom had a half order of the chopped salad (she said it was just ok) and i had a the delicious new miso salad. I switched out the miso dressing for lime cilantro (allergic to soy...sigh) and it was delicious! Wouldn't run to dine at CPK, but if you're in the mall and hungry it's a good place to stop...

Uk! New management has taken this once great place to the dumps. We walked in, tables only half-full, and were told it was a 10 minute wait? ?!! That was the writing on the way....also floors filthy and the place just seemed chaotic. Tried to get the manager, but he was too occupied with disgruntled diner to do anything....no thanks. Walked out, won't be back. Too many good choices in this town for such nonsense.

Another chain! But I found a new addiction- like crack head addiction! The chocolate chip cookie dessert is seriously like crack (I would think) Like it tasted like raw cookie dough but cooked simply amazing! O and the BBQ chicken salad is pretty good too!!

This isn't your average pizza place and seems to be known to people that have lived out of Florida. It was my first time being there and it was decent, to say the least. There is a very wide selection of pizzas, pastas and salads. Pizzas are a bit tiny (perhaps a small to regular pizza joints) but had toppings I didn't even know existed and nevertheless yummy. The Tequila pasta...oh, mouth watering good. Seating service was a bit slow - but I guess that's always going to be the case when arriving during the lunch hour traffic. Food service on the other hand was pretty quick in retrospect. FYI, wear something comfortable (I ate a little too much and had to unbuckle my jacket a bit).
(3)
Amy S.
Worst service ever!!! After a long wait for a table, which we expected, we were seated on the patio. We sat and waited --- more than 20 minutes passed and we were never approached by ANYONE! We watched other tables ( seated well after us) have their order taken and receive their orders while we sat there. Our table was right in the center of the patio, so plenty of waitstaff, busboys, and even a manager type passed by,all were too busy to even make eye contact,so we gave up and left. Sad because we do like the food, but will not go back!

I'm glad CPK is back in Boca. I learned about it on Yelp, and set out to find it last night while up in that area. It took us a while, since the GPS does not help at all when it comes to an address in the mall, and I never go to the expensive side (Saks/Nordstrom's) - for the record, it's located between the two stores, next to Legal Sea Foods. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to pizza, and just want it with cheese and sauce. I would've gotten the regular one on the honey wheat crust, but I decided to try the neapolitan pizza, which is a thin crust pizza and came with a pomodoro sauce with smoked gouda, fontina, and mozzarella. You could definitely taste the gouda, which gave it a different flavor. It was really good, but quite big (I only managed to eat half of it). The boyfriend got the hawaiian and had all except one slice of his. We came around 8:30 on a Wednesday night, so seating was hardly an issue. Our waiter was attentive, and service was quick, so overall it was a good experience :)

Every time I go to CPK I promise I won't go back, then stupidly I end up there. The service is always terrible, the food either comes out wrong or cold. While I used to love it, I think it's a huge rip off and the service is bad.

They have a great selection of pizza and other items so you should find something you like.The prices are a bit high though and wow was it slow last night. We waited like 25 mins for a small personal size pizza. Food was tasty but I was so hungry at that point anything might have been good. I would not put this place on my regular list

I give 2 stars because their hostesses are very inattentive. I asked for a table for 2 and they never asked for my name and told me that a table was being cleaned and they would be with me shortly. More people were coming in and they were being seated. They totally forgot about me and my party and I had to remind them 2 times. Very annoying. Other than that, the food was ok. I was really hungry.

This place is awesome! I work in the mall so i go here all the time. i love the pizza and the sandwiches, their menu is pretty extensive and they have a wide selection..especially of pizzas..i like the California club pizza, very good..the price is a little up there, but that's expected. this place is always crowded, a favorite for a lot of people. One pizza will be enough for any appetite. They have a good team with a mix of youth and age, service is good, the food comes out pretty quick

Recently rolled up to CPK on a Thursday with a party of 28 people. Yes, 28 people! The general manager, Michael, was more that accommodating when I called to check if it was possible. The tables were set up by the time we got there and all of the waiters/waitresses that served us were very friendly and quick. Drinks were constantly refilled and the pre-meal bread and olive oil was also replenished once or twice. My two favorites at CPK are the BBQ Chicken Pizza and the Jerk Chicken Flatbread. The Jerk Chicken has a nice kick as tastes great, but can be a bit dry. The BBQ Chicken is amazing, enough sauce and flavor to last the whole personal pie they give you. Overall, CPK has great service and great food. Can't beat that!

I had lunch today here and I had received a free birthday dessert on email through the cpk rewards. My cpk rewards card was not registered and the manager, Michael, was extremely helpful to help me get it registered. It's so nice to receive amazing service in South Florida, you don't find that too often here. Thank you for making my lunch memorable!

Curbside carry out is fast & accurate every time. The food quality, taste & appearance are on the mark every time we order from here. Great place for kids...affordable & tasteful. My son loves the Mac & cheese. And their salted caramel, red velvet cake and butter cake are a MUST!!

You can never really go wrong with California Pizza Kitchen. I have been here a few times and I love their food. My favorite from past visits would be the Fire Roasted Chile Relleno. I absolutely love it. The chile relleno consist of spicy poblano that is stuffed with chicken, cheese, roasted corn, black bean salsa, wild mushrooms, spinach and eggplant. I have also had the Pesto Cream Penne and it was delicious as well. Recently I came here for lunch. Service was very fast and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I decided to give the lunch duo a try. My pick was the 7" pepperoni pizza with the sedona tortilla soup. Our orders were ready super quick. This duo definitely fills you up. I could not finish up the pizza and took half of it home. The Sedona tortilla soup is delicious and full of flavor. Overall, it was delicious and service was super fast. I'll be back.

Dining experiences come down to one solid single thing in my opinion and that would be SERVICE. It wouldn't be likely that I would say CPK has the best pizza in all the land but it's great, the bread is great, the guacamole is good and they even have VEGETARIAN and even VEGAN options which are a big plus for those of us that don't partake in eating meat or dairy. I've been to this location three times and each time I've gotten good service but one server stuck out in particular, she went by the name of CHELSEA and greeted my girlfriend and I with a smile and prompt descriptions of the food choices, specials, personal favorites and INGREDIENTS... I could get served a rock and a shoe and would be more understanding of that than getting bad service when I'm a paying customer. Great service is key to a successful restaurant, you can check my other reviews if you think that's anything short of my bar of tankards. I highly recommend this place and if you go, I hope you get CHELSEA.

Came here on my break and chose to sit at the bar. The red headed bearded bartender saw me sit and didn't speak a word for the first few minutes "I'll be with you" without even the slightest smile. As if I was doing a disservice by sitting at his bar. I ordered the garlic chicken pizza, delish. Not like he would know that though because felt no need to check with me to see how it was. I finished my water and he held out his hand signally that he wanted to refill it. I laughed in disbelief. Won't be sitting at the bar again.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Definitely love this place. This has been my go-to lunch stop when shopping at the Boca Mall a couple of times now. I love they're 5 cheese and tomato pizza - big enough for 2 or 3, depending on how hungry you are. They're flavored lemonades and a favorite in my family, and their Spinach artichoke dip too. But now we discovered their artichoke appetizers and those are delicious. Not big, so it won't spoil your appetite but enough to calm the hunger until your entrée arrives. Last time I went I tried the Cheese Ravioli with sautéed mushrooms - you have to try it!!! Amazing, with a glass of red sangria and my shopping day was perfect.

Great salads. Pizza is just ok. Not a bargain, but food is solid. $30 for a regular pizza and entree salad. Service is good. Wasn't too busy due to bad rain.

Pizza two days in a row. Switch the pizzas up but the chicken dumpling app always should remain constant. Sometimes comes out a little cold, but really cant go wrong.

Very good pizza restaurant with moderate indoor and large outdoor seating. I am glad to see them back in Boca Raton.

As good as you'll get for a chain. They change up the menu with enough regularity, and they've been looking at both tastes and dietary trends. I tried a new salad with quinoa and greens and it was I want to steal the recipe goodness. If you're at the mall, it's one of the best places to grab a bite.

Great kids menu and good soups. Servers are usually very attentive and salads are fresh.

CPK is back in Boca! They didn't make it a few years back at their location near Houstons, but looks like the new CPK (located within the Town Center Mall) is off to a good start. They were packed on this Tuesday evening, but my mom and I scored a tableon their heated outdoor patio. Gotta love being able to sit on a patio (even if it's a heated one) in March. Yep, Chicago people reading my review...you're jealous, aren't ya? ;) I have to admit I've always been a fan of CPK's pizzas, but tonight we went with the salads. We started with a pita and hummus appetizer. The pita was warm and soft; the hummus was just eh. Then my mom had a half order of the chopped salad (she said it was just ok) and i had a the delicious new miso salad. I switched out the miso dressing for lime cilantro (allergic to soy...sigh) and it was delicious! Wouldn't run to dine at CPK, but if you're in the mall and hungry it's a good place to stop...

Uk! New management has taken this once great place to the dumps. We walked in, tables only half-full, and were told it was a 10 minute wait? ?!! That was the writing on the way....also floors filthy and the place just seemed chaotic. Tried to get the manager, but he was too occupied with disgruntled diner to do anything....no thanks. Walked out, won't be back. Too many good choices in this town for such nonsense.

Another chain! But I found a new addiction- like crack head addiction! The chocolate chip cookie dessert is seriously like crack (I would think) Like it tasted like raw cookie dough but cooked simply amazing! O and the BBQ chicken salad is pretty good too!!
(3)Lisa M.
Love this place. They have the best soups and their small bites menu is perfect w/a soup. Also they have fab salads. I've heard the pizza was great too but that's the last thing I order when there!

This isn't your average pizza place and seems to be known to people that have lived out of Florida. It was my first time being there and it was decent, to say the least. There is a very wide selection of pizzas, pastas and salads. Pizzas are a bit tiny (perhaps a small to regular pizza joints) but had toppings I didn't even know existed and nevertheless yummy. The Tequila pasta...oh, mouth watering good. Seating service was a bit slow - but I guess that's always going to be the case when arriving during the lunch hour traffic. Food service on the other hand was pretty quick in retrospect. FYI, wear something comfortable (I ate a little too much and had to unbuckle my jacket a bit).

Worst service ever!!! After a long wait for a table, which we expected, we were seated on the patio. We sat and waited --- more than 20 minutes passed and we were never approached by ANYONE! We watched other tables ( seated well after us) have their order taken and receive their orders while we sat there. Our table was right in the center of the patio, so plenty of waitstaff, busboys, and even a manager type passed by,all were too busy to even make eye contact,so we gave up and left. Sad because we do like the food, but will not go back!

I'm glad CPK is back in Boca. I learned about it on Yelp, and set out to find it last night while up in that area. It took us a while, since the GPS does not help at all when it comes to an address in the mall, and I never go to the expensive side (Saks/Nordstrom's) - for the record, it's located between the two stores, next to Legal Sea Foods. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to pizza, and just want it with cheese and sauce. I would've gotten the regular one on the honey wheat crust, but I decided to try the neapolitan pizza, which is a thin crust pizza and came with a pomodoro sauce with smoked gouda, fontina, and mozzarella. You could definitely taste the gouda, which gave it a different flavor. It was really good, but quite big (I only managed to eat half of it). The boyfriend got the hawaiian and had all except one slice of his. We came around 8:30 on a Wednesday night, so seating was hardly an issue. Our waiter was attentive, and service was quick, so overall it was a good experience :)

Every time I go to CPK I promise I won't go back, then stupidly I end up there. The service is always terrible, the food either comes out wrong or cold. While I used to love it, I think it's a huge rip off and the service is bad.

Great food, and really great service from Sami

They have a great selection of pizza and other items so you should find something you like.The prices are a bit high though and wow was it slow last night. We waited like 25 mins for a small personal size pizza. Food was tasty but I was so hungry at that point anything might have been good. I would not put this place on my regular list
(3)Susan C.
I give 2 stars because their hostesses are very inattentive. I asked for a table for 2 and they never asked for my name and told me that a table was being cleaned and they would be with me shortly. More people were coming in and they were being seated. They totally forgot about me and my party and I had to remind them 2 times. Very annoying. Other than that, the food was ok. I was really hungry.

This place is awesome! I work in the mall so i go here all the time. i love the pizza and the sandwiches, their menu is pretty extensive and they have a wide selection..especially of pizzas..i like the California club pizza, very good..the price is a little up there, but that's expected. this place is always crowded, a favorite for a lot of people. One pizza will be enough for any appetite. They have a good team with a mix of youth and age, service is good, the food comes out pretty quick

Recently rolled up to CPK on a Thursday with a party of 28 people. Yes, 28 people! The general manager, Michael, was more that accommodating when I called to check if it was possible. The tables were set up by the time we got there and all of the waiters/waitresses that served us were very friendly and quick. Drinks were constantly refilled and the pre-meal bread and olive oil was also replenished once or twice. My two favorites at CPK are the BBQ Chicken Pizza and the Jerk Chicken Flatbread. The Jerk Chicken has a nice kick as tastes great, but can be a bit dry. The BBQ Chicken is amazing, enough sauce and flavor to last the whole personal pie they give you. Overall, CPK has great service and great food. Can't beat that!

If only they'd swap a plate of veggies for bread (we're Gluten Free) and start adding GF desserts. Soon maybe.

I had lunch today here and I had received a free birthday dessert on email through the cpk rewards. My cpk rewards card was not registered and the manager, Michael, was extremely helpful to help me get it registered. It's so nice to receive amazing service in South Florida, you don't find that too often here. Thank you for making my lunch memorable!

Curbside carry out is fast & accurate every time. The food quality, taste & appearance are on the mark every time we order from here. Great place for kids...affordable & tasteful. My son loves the Mac & cheese. And their salted caramel, red velvet cake and butter cake are a MUST!!

You can never really go wrong with California Pizza Kitchen. I have been here a few times and I love their food. My favorite from past visits would be the Fire Roasted Chile Relleno. I absolutely love it. The chile relleno consist of spicy poblano that is stuffed with chicken, cheese, roasted corn, black bean salsa, wild mushrooms, spinach and eggplant. I have also had the Pesto Cream Penne and it was delicious as well. Recently I came here for lunch. Service was very fast and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I decided to give the lunch duo a try. My pick was the 7" pepperoni pizza with the sedona tortilla soup. Our orders were ready super quick. This duo definitely fills you up. I could not finish up the pizza and took half of it home. The Sedona tortilla soup is delicious and full of flavor. Overall, it was delicious and service was super fast. I'll be back.

Dining experiences come down to one solid single thing in my opinion and that would be SERVICE. It wouldn't be likely that I would say CPK has the best pizza in all the land but it's great, the bread is great, the guacamole is good and they even have VEGETARIAN and even VEGAN options which are a big plus for those of us that don't partake in eating meat or dairy. I've been to this location three times and each time I've gotten good service but one server stuck out in particular, she went by the name of CHELSEA and greeted my girlfriend and I with a smile and prompt descriptions of the food choices, specials, personal favorites and INGREDIENTS... I could get served a rock and a shoe and would be more understanding of that than getting bad service when I'm a paying customer. Great service is key to a successful restaurant, you can check my other reviews if you think that's anything short of my bar of tankards. I highly recommend this place and if you go, I hope you get CHELSEA.

Came here on my break and chose to sit at the bar. The red headed bearded bartender saw me sit and didn't speak a word for the first few minutes "I'll be with you" without even the slightest smile. As if I was doing a disservice by sitting at his bar. I ordered the garlic chicken pizza, delish. Not like he would know that though because felt no need to check with me to see how it was. I finished my water and he held out his hand signally that he wanted to refill it. I laughed in disbelief. Won't be sitting at the bar again.

As yelp describes 5 stars. Woohoo! As good as it gets! Never been disapointed everytime I go there. Their new menu is very good. I keep bringing colleagues there & they all love it.
