We were seated at a dirty table. Restaurant cleanliness, wait staff service and food safety are substandard as usual. It's like a Denny's standard to be this bad nation wide.There are no gluten free options because everything is cross contaminated. My mouth is swollen and I'm hacking up phlegm. Asked for decaf and it smelled sour. We asked for separate checks, didn't get it. Asked for crispy hashbrowns, didn't get it. Every trip to Dennys reminds me why I don't eat here and neither should you.

A small, intimate restaurant with good service and delicious food. We heard rave reviews for years, and are so happy we finally tried it! The gluten-free options are the best I have found in East County. The meat sauce is flavorful with just the right amount of meat. The Alfredo is scrumptious! The chicken marsala was unique, with a flavor a bit on the sweet side. There was a hearty portion of chicken and mushrooms in the dish. The spumoni is a must-have dessert. Highly recommend this restaurant if you want a fantastic Italian meal.

Really great service. I was seated immediately. Even let me change to a window booth. The menu had a lot of options considering I’m gluten and lactose intolerant! I ordered the vegetation scramble and was not disappointed. Very flavorful meal. It was so big I could only eat a 3rd. lol. The rest I took to go.
