“My wife and I have been going to this Cava for some time. We noticed the chicken was shredded like ground beef and not like the normal chicken chunks. The server was asked to add a little more because the portion was small and it had very little chicken. BTW, the build your bowls start $12.00. The server was unprofessional and aloof. Thank goodness for Dominique the manager. He stepped in, acknowledged the problem and compensated us. Thanks Dominique. Excellent Job!”

“The setting of an old house is quaint. Not too stuffy but not too casual either. Parking was a little tight. We were sat right away with our reservation. 6:15 on a Monday, not too busy. The main dining room was a little chilly. We figured they were expecting more customers and it would warm up. Tables are metal legs with wooden tops, chairs were ok and everything was acceptably clean. The hostess was nice, we were given water and menus right away. Menus also included the happy hour specials and a list of bottle wine specials.Happy hour gimlet was good and the local lager was too.The charcuterie board was ok. We stretched it to feed 5. The Sun-choke jelly was ugly but de-li-cious!Our server was personable. We asked questions about the menu and various waitstaff members either could or unfortunately could not answer them. Our impression was that there wasn’t much of a ‘team work’ vibe happening.Beet salad okMushroom soup ok but needed a little kick of somethingThey were out of dumplings! We later found out that a large party of economic conference guests were sat in another room and we figured they were given dibs. We were offered extra sourdough bread which worked out as a good alternative for sopping up the juices.The trout okThe schnitzel was given a 9/10 from everyone who ordered it.We weren’t going to order dessert but because of the “no dumplings” and a late entree, we were comped and we ordered one of each.The lemon cake—needs work, tasted floury and heavyThe chocolate offering— too bitter but…the banana ice cream was amazingThe orange pavlova—-10/10! Best thing we ate—perfect treat.We enjoyed a leisurely very good meal and would recommend this restaurant for adult diners, date night, special occasion, or as a treat.There is outdoor/patio seating.”

We did mention this to our waitress, who was very attentive and polite. The sushi came out first, and it was outstanding! Truly some of the best we’ve had. They split the trinity platter onto two smaller plates, a great idea. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in the cooked seafood. The fish was dry. The bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp really didn’t have much flavor. The oysters were pretty good. We’ll be back for more sushi, but not the other half of the menu.”

There is a lady that is always extremely rude to me and my family. Right now she has long blue and black braids. I’ve had a conversation with another employee there and she told me she’s like that with a lot of customers as well as her coworkers. Today my significant other had to go retrieve our order from her because she was screaming our table number instead of bringing it to us. I go to the playground area as soon as we arrive and order from there (I have a 8 year old and 4 year old). He had to go back to get our cups and ketchup and ranch and he said she looked him dead in his eyes 3 times and never said a word to him but another man that came up after him was helped. He had to stand in the cashier line just to get our cups and condiments. Someone really needs to talk to this employee and tell her to act right or find another job. It’s ridiculous!!”

gusto! Athens 161 Alps Rd, Athens Fast Food • $$

“First visit to Gusto! and I was impressed by the service and food. The dining space seemed a bit cramped but it was well maintained and well lit. We grabbed food to go so it's a bit of a moot point.In fact, the lighting in the restaurant is one of the factors to catch my eye. It sounds strange, perhaps, but every time I pass the restaurant at night it looks much more inviting than the neighboring spots.Gusto! Also has plenty of outdoor seating that I intend to try out once the weather is a bit warmer.The food was delicious, fresh and ready to go so quickly that I hadn't even paid for it when it was available. The portions were good sized- the bowl filled me up- and the ingredients were well balanced.While the menu appears limited, there is plenty of variety. I especially appreciated the opportunity to choose from several bowl bases and the ability to customize my meal with add ones such as fresh avacado.The person taking orders was friendly and helpful to an absolute newbie. They made some great suggestions.Loved that I could obtain a fresh and filling meal for less than $15 (bowl and no drink since I was headed home.)I'll definitely be headed to Gusto! again.”

“I LOVE CICIS PIZZA!! I wish I could come here everyday. The young enthusiastic man that greeted me at the door with a warm and welcoming,” Welcome to Cicis!” needs a raise!! (IMMEDIATELY) his customer services skills are unparalleled. when my friend was looking around for her favorite pizza and it wasn’t out yet he shared her concern and offered to make it if it wasn’t being made already (it was because Cicis pizza is always on top of everything). As if his empathy wasn’t enough to fill our hearts, he went above and beyond to personally deliver her four slices of her favorite pizza so our stomach would full too! I am so passionate about the Cicis manager recognizing such an astonishing individual that I am writing this in Cicis Pizzeria while munching on my Mac and cheese pizza (which is the best pizza) GO DAWGS!! ???”

Didn't care for the "Coyote Ugle" line dancing next to our table,distracting and unnecessary. Most of the time,most looked like they didn't care to do it. The steak was cooked to perfection but lacked seasoning. The green beans were oily and flavor strange. The broccoli was way undercooked.
