We were looking for an restaurant and we couldn't find it. We were hungry and just arrived from Brazil, long flight.They served us really well, fair price, good food. Simple and tasty.We should have gone back for the pizza. Unfortunately we didn't have time to do it. Everybody was very polite and they brought my kid's food very quick.

My husband is from NYC, so we are picky about our slices. We've been going here for at least 15 years. Never disappointed, allways HOT and fresh. The staff are always professional, efficient and friendly. Our go to, is a large with Crumbled sausage. We also like to add spinach, onions and mushrooms sometime. OH and make sure to try the sausage roll. Yummy.

Union Pizza Company

Reviewed By johnc_19

Rated a 2-star due to poor quality of "deep dish" pizza. I did not try the thin crust.I think the deep dish fails most likely because this small pizza restaurant is trying to provide a deep and thin variety and the two of them require completely different preparations. Hence, the "deep dish" actually tasted like a reformed thin crust pizza with extra cheese and tomatoes on top.Also a 2-star because despite the claims on freshness, the pizza did not taste like a fresh sauce variety. Chunks of tomato, by themselves, do not make a sauce "fresh."Anyway, I had high hopes but they did not materialize and I don't plan to return. If you chose to make a visit and have a positive experience I hope you will also share your experience here.Hi John. Sorry for the so late reply to your review. I don't check Trip Advisor as much as I should! I'm sorry you didnt like our pizza. So our customers know, we use two very different dough formulas that we make fresh in house every day. They are indeed very different and even bake in different ovens at different temperatures. Our deep dish dough uses 3 different flours and three different types of oil along with other natural ingredients to make what we think is a unique Chicago Style deep dish pie. It is a thin crust even though it is in a deep pan. We make both our NY and Deep dish pizza sauces fresh in house every day. We do not use fresh tomatoes in our sauces. Virtually no pizza place uses fresh tomatoes. They have way to much water and would not turn out correct. We use 3 different types of all natural California grown canned tomato products from the most expensive brand which does not use Citric acid. This provides a fresher sweeter flavor than other brands. While you didnt like what we made, I thought it was important for customers to know we do everything fresh in house and use all natural ingredients with no nitrates or nitrites in our meats. Something very few places bother to do.Again sorry you are not a fan, and thank you for trying us.Bruce

Olive Garden

Reviewed By jeturpinFresno

I, honestly, don’t write ratings for too many chains because there is, rarely, anything unique about which is worth writing. But, on this family vacation our youngest wanted to eat at Olive Garden so off we went to this location not far from our hotel. Olive Garden is, IMHO, routinely good if not spectacular. One can expect decent food at slightly “enhanced” prices, but it’s good for when a friend or family member wants to eat out for some sort of occasion. Anyway, when we arrived there was a wait for seating so I decided I would have a beer while waiting. I went to the bar and was told that beer and wine were half-off while waiting for tables. I told the bartender that I thought this was a tremendous idea. I ordered my American-made light lager and paid. The price seemed a little high to me, and I questioned it but was told it was accurate. I shrugged and moved on. We were seated and got our food, which was as good as we expected (with the exception of my salmon and vegetables, because the salmon portion was miniscule and the “vegetables” were a half-plate of dry and unseasoned broccoli pieces). That’s when the bartender walked up to tell me he had overcharged me by $1 and he was there to give it to me. I thanked him sincerely and gave that as an additional portion of the tip I had already given to him. I then sought out the duty manager to let him know of the bartender’s integrity. Our society is now more about something other than integrity, and to see this young man display such honesty, especially when the amount was small and I would not have known, is worth praise and recognition.

Love & Salt

Reviewed By VagabondKatt

I thought the name of this restaurant was just a clever phrase, but it's really a warning. The love is there in the form of a wonderful wait staff, attentive without being intrusive. The salt is everywhere, even dominating the salad I ordered. My dining companion said the same thing about his entree. The servers are apparently in on the secret, as they stop by frequently to refill water glasses. Have to say, though, the ricotta pancake we shared for dessert was perfection.

Reviewed By berniek1949

Made reservations for this very busy restaurant, located less than a block from the beach. This restaurant has a large variety of pasta and seafood dishes. An extensive wine and mixed drink menu. The Manhattan Chowder was the best I've ever had. The four entrees we ordered were delicious. They were delivered quickly and piping hot. The only criticism was the bread. They can do better. Service was excellent and prices were reasonable considering the location and quality of food.
