    SHRIMP SCAMPI ZUCCHINI
    Lorrie D.

    I had a couple friends who were in the inland empire for appointments and told me they were going to stop by California Pizza Kitchen before they headed back to the High Desert. Since we don't have one here, I decided to order something. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi Zucchini and since they no longer have the Jambalaya Linguine, I ordered Chicken Tequila Fettuccine. I thought the names and the description of the dish that they would be bursting with flavor and have some type of sauce to bind it all together. I was sorely disappointed it was just a boiled pasta with no seasoning, not even salt. In the shrimp dish, the only thing that had flavor was the lemon juice on the zucchini and on the other dish NOTHING - it was positively Bland. You can tell from the pictures that we ate most of the shrimp dish because we were hungry, but we only tasted the chicken dish. I will not be ordering either one of these again, total waste of money.

    I haven't been here in a long time, shout out to Richard for being a wonderful server. Great hospitality and energy. Before getting to the good, I wish a staff member could have said or done something about the three children treating the place like a playground. Running everywhere going around our tables and jumping onto empty booths, almost running into food runners. I get they probably couldn't physically do something because they are children but it did give a lot of reactions to other customers. Took a chance on the Thai Chicken Pizza, very interesting, it wasn't bad but it was just different because it's all these ingredients on a pizza. The Mac N Cheese + Chicken was tasty as well, very creamy and juicy. The bread and oil is a classic, the white corn chips was also delicious.

    Great food, great wine, and amazing service at CPK Victoria Gardens! We had such a wonderful dinner at California Pizza Kitchen at Victoria Gardens. We started with the Carne Asada Mac & Cheese, and it was absolutely delicious--so creamy, flavorful, and the carne asada was perfectly seasoned. For pizzas, hubby ordered the Carne Asada pizza and I had The Works pizza, and everything was amazing. The crust was perfect, the toppings were generous, and every bite was flavorful. The wine was yummy too, which made it such a relaxing and enjoyable meal. A huge shoutout to our server, Brandon--he was excellent! Super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. He really made our experience even better. We'll definitely be back and would happily request Brandon again. Highly recommend this location!

    The food is always great! However, they ran out of bread in the location. Victoria Garden in Rancho Cucamonga. The services Brittany was great. The young lady was excellent. Ambiance was festive and full of holiday joy and seasons greetings. People watching and enjoying my family.

    Hadn't been to a CPK in a long time. Recently, we were on a vacation in Waikiki and we did eat at the one that is located in the mall in Waikiki and it was phenomenal. From the service/ the way we were greeted and seated right away... the food was so delicious. Huge portions. It was perfect. I was so good that when we came back home to Upland we decided we would visit this one in Rancho Cucamonga. It was so bad. Our service was crappy.. It took a while for someone to come over and take our drink order. Our dishes we ordered were absolutely terrible. An appetizer that we ordered was the chicken wraps. The manager actually dropped that off at our table and failed to tell us they no longer had wedge lettuce so she brought us our chicken wrap with thinly , stringy lettuce, which was so ridiculous, you can't wrap your chicken in strings of lettuce. She did not mention to us that they were out of wedge lettuce. So we were already upset by the way that no one greeted us and it took a while for someone to come over to our table .... I'm not sure how she expected us to eat that. I will post some pictures. Honestly, the vibe was bad. No one working there looks happy. I ordered the chicken piccata and the portion was so small. It tastes terrible. It was very tarty and it lacked seasoning. My husband ordered some type of a barbecue chicken salad and it came in a small bowl and was not the best. Will not return.

    We visited this location recently to enjoy dinner with my daughters and my oldest's boyfriend's family. There was a bit of a wait, but that allowed for us to go shopping and they sent a text when the table was ready. They were very busy, but the staff stayed on top of everything. The restaurant was pretty noisy at the time, and they had televisions for viewing sports. The kids all got pizzas and they loved them. The other adult at the table ordered the jambalaya and he said it was good. I went with the cedar plank salmon with a corn and spinach succotash topped with feta cheese. It was wonderful! Overall a decent experience with a vast array of menu options!

    人這輩子最大的逍遙與幸福, 並不是富貴權勢, 而是心理無事, 且身體沒病~ 怎麼每一家的 California Pizza kitchen 的review 都是放3顆星呀,大家都不喜歡這一家餐館嗎?這麼多年來還能夠開這麼多店,我應該至少有兩年沒有他進來了,他們居然已經沒有牛排了,菜單改過我知道,但是很多好吃的東西都被拿掉了,還好我最喜歡的宮保蝦 pasta,還在菜單上,不然我就真的不曉得要吃什麼

    Mushroom Pizza...food is fine, but service is lacking.

    It's been awhile since I've been to a CPK, but now I remember why I haven't been back - the service really lacks and it did for us too at a recent visit here. Came in on a weekend and we were all hungry, with a little kid in tow. We placed our name and was told it was going to be a 45 minute wait. Okay. So we waited, then they texted us about 30 minutes later. Got seated outside and were given menus. Then 5 minutes later, no one came. Then 10 minutes later, no one came. Then 20 minutes later, not one server came to us. Then we had to go back inside to ask the host if we can place our order. They told us a server would be coming by. And guess what? Another 10 minutes...THEN a server came by. This male server was so perky, didn't read our situation, and didn't even acknowledged that we had been waiting for like 40 minutes without service! So, we really just wanted to order. And again, we had a hungry child with us! Took our order finally and then brought us some waters. The food was fine. Got the BBQ Chicken Salad and the Mushroom Pizza. Both had good flavors and we all just tried to enjoy our meal. Then as usual, the server came over with the tab and said no rush blah blah, and placed the black book on our table. And guess what? Every 5-7 minutes, server dude kept coming back like ON THE DOT every time to eye on the tab. Like dude, we GET IT, but you didn't even offer us any take out containers and then went 180 on us when we said we had a gift card. Like the meal is pretty much paid, what's with the short attitude after that? And again, NEVER asked us for a take out container and we had to go inside and fetch out own! Incredibly terrible service. The service here needs help on training their servers, because this was not it. You don't offer customer service only when you want the check....it's the entire dining experience!

    After having CPK a lot in childhood, the nostalgia hit me and I really wanted to try the place again to see if it was as good as I remembered. We came on a Friday late afternoon around 2pm, and they unfortunately seemed very understaffed. Although there were seats available, they most likely did not have enough staff to cover, and we had to wait 1.5 hours to be able to get seated. I really loved the BBQ pizza when I was younger, so I made sure to get that again while coming here, along with trying out the spinach artichoke dip. Sadly, I was a bit disappointed in my pizza. Although the sauce wasn't too bad, the chicken was pretty dry and felt pretty lacking in flavor. Of course there is a bit of nostalgia in play, having to wait 1.5 hours for a alright pizza definitely did not leave a good mark. However, I did enjoy the dip (although it was a bit too cheesy and strong for my partner) and made the meal a bit more enjoyable. May want to try those appetizers again if they all are equally as yummy!

I'd recommend going during off-peak hours to avoid the crowds.

When our waitress came by we reminded her about not getting our drinks yet and she copped an attitude and was like "we were busy, yeah I asked someone else to bring the water". Ok. No need to be rude. Thankfully the food was good, so at least that was enjoyable. Our waitress never came by once to check up on us, as we watched other waitresses be more attentive at other tables.

I'm sure it was just this one individual that was performing poorly, but it left us with a bad experience where we simply don't want to come back, and take our business elsewhere.

It's just as described by other reviewers...Chipotle style establishment with Mediterranean food. The servers work like an assembly line, serving you at different stations. The staff were not overtly friendly. They were just very matter of fact, asking you whether you want rice or salad. The line was very long when we arrived around 6:30 pm but it seemed to move pretty efficiently. I was happy to see that none of the items I wanted were "all out" which often is the case when you go to a Chipotle or custom pizza place like Blaze. The only thing I noticed was that there was litter all throughout the restaurant since the workers appeared to be tied up serving and making food. We got a kids build your own and a bowl.

Well this message is for corporate not the staff following the rules. The customer is the only reason you have a business. Being flexible for your customer is the only way you stay in business. Let's talk about basic unit economics. These are assumptions, but it's designed to prove a point. An average bowl at your establishment will cost you about $3.00. You are going to charge me about $10 before tax for that bowl. That's $7 in profit. If your rule is only two base ingredients, and a customer asked for a third (arugula)... give it to them... you have enough margin to absorb an $0.11 handful of arugula. Why risk angering the customer? Especially when the customer didn't get all the options they could have gotten, no dips, not veggies, just base (leafy greens/rice) and meat... meaning my bowl probably cost you sub $2.00 oppose to $3.00. You have plenty of margin to give me a handful of arugula. Regardless of the unit economic numbers being accurate, you have plenty of margin otherwise you could not operate. If you can't afford to give the odd customer an extra base here and there, close your doors and go back to business school. The customer is the only reason you have a job, keep them happy and coming back. Remember that. I have been coming to Cava locations across California since 2017. I have spent thousands of dollars across that time at Cava. Some weeks I'd eat at Cava 5 to 7 days in a row. And I've never had a problem getting the bowl I desired, until now. This one experience has lost you the future thousands I would have spent there with my family. All over an $0.11 handful of arugula. I WILL NEVER GIVE MY MONEY AGAIN TO A COMPANY WHO DOES NOT VALUE BEING FLEXIBLE FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS... You don't want to keep your customer happy, you don't want my money... I hope for the day I read the headlines that Cava is closing locations and is going out of business.

At least the two bread sticks held up, but do appear smaller than before, but really cannot remember. This won't stop me from visiting Stonefire, but it is something they should consider, if other customers feel this way it will lead to people slowly becoming unhappy and eventually will lose them, which would be a shame as Stonefire is great and they support Students with a 15% discount as well as Veterans with a whopping 50% discount, so they have excellent values for the community.

At a lot of places I've been to, when I mention my peanut allergy it sometimes feels like it goes right past them and they don't really take note of it. Here, they clearly paid attention and took it seriously, which meant a lot. The restaurant itself is also really spacious and calming, which makes it a nice place to sit and enjoy your meal. And the food was so good. The noodles were cooked just right, and honestly nothing feels better than having Chinese food that reminds you of home. I miss homemade Chinese food sometimes, so it was really comforting to find a place like this that brings that feeling back.

    This place was such an unexpected hit, authentic handmade noodles, great texture and flavorful…read morebroth. The service is nice and quick, interior is clean and plenty of seating, the parking lot is also huge. I loved the Chinese burger/sandwich, crispy handmade bread with seasoned meat+chilis+cilantro. It is packed with filling and the outside is a perfect level of grilled. The beef noodle soup with hand pulled noodle has a very clean yet savory broth with chewy noodles, and you can spice it up with chili oil and vinegar condiments on the table. The Dan Dan noodle also has a great flavor. Will be returning!
