    Bolognese spaghetti
    Grace F.

    My party of 14 came on New Year's Day, not too many restaurants were open, I appreciated the people who gave up their holiday. All the appetizers were on point, the dynamo shrimp, lettuce wraps, white corn guac & chips, avocado club rolls. We ordered a mix of pizzas for the table, Margherita pizza, mushroom pizza, cacio pepe pizza, Thai chicken pizza. The Thai chicken pizza was not good, the Margherita pizza was too oily, rest were delicious. The Thai crunch salad, California cobb salad were both delicious. The shrimp scampi and bolognese spaghetti was satisfying. For dessert, the butter cakes, some plain, some with ice cream, and the mini cakes excluding the bacon hit the spot. Diego provided the right amount of attentiveness.

    Amazing and delicious taste. We are in absolute love for this place. The service great and they explain everything clearly. The ambience inside is very good. The place is loud, bright and feel cozy. There is parking available right in that mall where the restaurant is located. This place is a family friendly and business casual. We can dine and carry out too. I don't think they have any outdoor seating in this particular location. This is a must try!

    We had such a nice lunch here with the fam! I got the shrimp fettuccine and it was amazing -- creamy, flavorful, and packed with juicy shrimp and mushrooms. Total comfort food. Service was great too -- everyone was super friendly and we didn't have to wait long at all, even though it was pretty busy. The whole vibe was chill and welcoming, perfect for a laid-back family meal. We even treated ourselves to dessert -- and yep, totally worth it. We'll definitely be coming back!

    We eat here a lot and always enjoy it! I got my favorite dish, Chicken Piccata! Our server was Diego and he did wonderful! Brought refills when needed and carried away dishes when done. Love the California decor surf boards and Chicago pictures they have as decor! It's always clean and welcoming!

    California Pizza Kitchen used to be one of my favorite places to eat. We were in the area today and stopped in for an early lunch. The restaurant was quiet and not too busy. Our server was pleasant and explained the changes since we had last dined there. We both ordered my favorite BBQ chopped chicken salad. This salad used to be freshly tossed with ranch and had a nice BBQ drizzle on top. Today, I couldn't really tell if it was tossed or mashed. It was not crisp as usual. It tasted as if the tortilla chips had been soaked prior to serving. The chicken was also mashed with the BBQ sauce. Definitely not a fan today. I ordered a strawberry mocktail that was quite tasty! We asked our server for boxes and said we were "all set." 20 minutes passed, and she never reappeared. We had to stop the manager and ask for boxes and our check - she took it from there. I'm not sure how our server got lost as she only had two tables. I was fairly disappointed overall with both the food and service. Would not recommend a return visit anytime soon.

    Why not leave the one open by our table. This reduced airflow and the ambiance. It got hotter not cooler.

    Rude! We've been coming here for years during all seasons and have never been treated like we were today. We sat outside on a 73/75 degree day with a breeze. At about 4:20 they started putting the shades down. I asked them not to put the one down by our table. We were the only ones outside. A lady walks out to us 5 min later to tell me she is the general manager and this is the time they put the shades down. With a lot of attitude: even my kids said wow!! 1. Who was it hurting? 2. What happened to the customer being important? 3. Why so rude? I wasn't, I just asked if they could keep ours up. Our food was coming out so we were done by 5. Put them down then. 4. Never seen this GM; but I appreciate her abusing her title. I should have said I'm the paying customer and the only one out here on a nice day enjoying outdoor dining. We like CPK but it will be awhile before we return . Disappointed in today's visit.

    Me and the boyfriend went Xmas shopping at Geneva Commons and wanted something yummy, fast and reasonably priced. We ordered from here because neither one of us have ever ate here. We weren't disappointed! We got the Margherita pizza- it was amazing!! (My boyfriend loves thin crust). We will definitely be coming back!!

    To go food without a bag...Glad I didn't lose the balance of the sauce!

Their Cesar salad is so good as well, you can get a big one to share and it's more than enough. Their pasta & other appetizers are all great too. All of their locations have been a great experience. Service at each location is different, most being spectacular with a couple times I've had a not so friendly waitress. Otherwise service is quick & attentive, and very good. This is a great location, across from the Theatre if you have concert or just wanna walk around downtown St. Charles, there's a lot in this area. You should definitely give Riverside a try, you won't regret it!

Unfortunately, it was a flop. We spent over $100 expecting high-quality, local pizza, but were left wondering what all the hype was about. The sauces were bland and barely noticeable, the crust was dry and completely lacking in flavor, and the pizza overall felt low-effort. I specifically asked for extra toppings on one of the pizzas, but what we received hardly qualified as "extra." It felt like a waste of money. This was meant to be a treat for my family and guests, but I could barely eat more than one slice per box. I ended up giving most of it away just to avoid having to deal with leftovers. The crust, especially, was a huge letdown--more like a cracker than pizza dough. I enjoy thick crusts or even a thinner style, but this was just too dry and crunchy to enjoy. Really wish the quality lived up to the price point. This place was unfortunately not for us.

The restaurant has a beautiful aesthetic that feels modern, bright, and inviting. The private room where the party was held was perfect and conveniently located right off the main dining room, which made it feel both intimate and connected to the rest of the restaurant.

She did a great job managing a larger group, which really added to the positive experience. The food was phenomenal. As a starter, we had the prosciutto and fig bruschetta, which was a standout. I had never tried anything like it before, but I absolutely loved the balance of sweet and salty flavors. It was unique, well prepared, and a great way to start the meal. For the main course, we sampled a variety of dishes, including pastas, chicken parmesan, and the wood-fired pizza. Everything we tried was flavorful, and there were no complaints from anyone at the table. I loved the margherita pizza and the pepperoni pizza! I also ordered the Ibisco Fizz mocktail, which had an amazing balance of hibiscus tea, peach, and lemon flavor with a bubbly texture from the soda. I'd order this again, too! Overall, this was a wonderful first visit with great food, service, and atmosphere. I would love to come back for dinner in the near future to try more items from the menu.
