California Pizza Kitchen

My wife and I decided to dine here on our last night of our honeymoon in Santa Barbara. She had her heart set on salmon, which is why we chose this restaurant. We walked from our hotel, which was about a mile away, and were seated right away upon arrival. I took advantage of the Dodger win pizza deal, while my wife ordered her salmon. The service was a bit slower than we expected, but we understood given the current circumstances. My pizza was decent, but my wife found her salmon to be quite bland. I tried it too and agreed—it lacked flavor. When the bill arrived, they forgot to apply my CPK rewards for the pizza, so I had to bring that to their attention.

The food was incredibly delicious! I absolutely loved the butter cake dessert, and the pasta dishes were excellent as well. Our server, G, provided outstanding service and was very friendly!

The food was decent, and they served delicious homemade bread for free. However, the coffee arrived nearly cold. The interior left something to be desired, as it was rather uninteresting and lacking in charm.

I don't know why we had never eaten at CPK after all these years but I'm glad we finally did. Ironically, our first experience of California Pizza Kitchen was in Nevada last month (eh, go figure) and that's when we remembered there is a CPK in our area. The food is so good and the service super friendly. I ordered the Tostada pizza out off curiosity and it is so good, I would get it again without hesitation. Angel was our waiter and was being shadowed by Sawer and they both provided us with the best customer service we've had on a long time. We're definitely returning to it next visit to Santa Barbara.

Although they were under staff like most businesses are, our lovely waitress kept checking on us and updating us on our drinks. Food was good
