I ordered the chicken salad, and the trainee waiter recommended mixing ranch with their green salsa for the dressing. Oh my goodness, what a game-changer! That combo was incredible. Their green salsa itself was hands-down the best salsa I've ever had--fresh, flavorful, with the perfect kick. The chicken on the salad was cooked and spiced perfectly--juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. The whole dish was fresh and delicious.

My waffles came with fresh fruit instead of the dried ones that I requested. However I enjoyed them. We had asked for separate checks but when the server presented our bill it was one check so he had to cancel it and gave us separate checks. A turn off was the check presented on a hand held device and the options for gratuity start at 18% not at 15%. Regarding the server, Matias was good but he failed in the details. When he picked up the order in the kitchen he should have checked that my dish was correctly and not me bringing it to his attention. Also no listing to the separate checks requested. I do NOT like plastic table mats on the tables. They are not sanitized correctly. On a separate note at night time, they are called Gatsbys Bistro with an interesting menu.

Valley Pizza never disappoints! The pizza is always fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The crust has the perfect balance -- crispy on the outside and soft on the inside -- and the toppings are generous without overwhelming the slice. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients.
