Arizona Salad Kitchen

California Pizza Kitchen would get three and a half stars out of five if I were a critic. There are a variety of different locations, but the one I go to and recommend is off Scottsdale Road and Gold Dust. This location has some traffic during rush hour but is worth once you get inside the restaurant. This restaurant is for dinning in which, is ideal for conversation. The interior design of the restaurant is clean, fresh, and comfortable; it is well put together in regards to color, art, and California theme. The noise level is relatively low; therefore you can have private conversations, and hear your guest. However the service is a little bit slower, but this can be a positive and or negative thing depending on how you look at it. You will have plenty of time to talk while you wait for your food. Once you put your drink orders in the server will take a while to bring back your beverage. However, they do provide complimentary drinks so free refills! Once the food is brought to the table, arranged in an artistic way, people dig in and begin to eat. I recommend getting the barbeque chicken salad; which consist of a variety of ingredients such as: crisp and fresh lettuce, cold chicken, black beams, light yellow corn, green avocado, clean sweet jicama, creamy ranch and sweet barbeque sauce. The ingredients make this salad incredibly well put together. I recommend going to CPK for lunch or dinner because the food is awesome, the location is easy, the atmosphere is cool, and the noise level is low.
