It was the weekend and walking 'round my hood I didn't want to wait a long time for food. CTC had a…read morefew people seated but wasn't so crowded that I would faint from hunger before being served. The concept is quick Italian. With pasta dishes and different main dishes along with sides. They run a deal if you build a full meal and it runs about $15. The staff were nice and I could tell they really wanted to do a good job. The problem really was the food. It lacks fresh flavors and reminded me of an airport restaurant. Everything is clearly pre made, which in itself isn't awful. It just really tasted reheated. Risotto: what was touted as "yellowtail" was canned tuna. Very fishy smelling and even worse tasting. I thought it was a bold special and imagined a seared sliced fish over the risotto. What I got was akin to cat food. I couldn't even choke down a small fork full so I did something I freaking hate doing, I complained to the manager. He did end up taking the dish off of my bill which I appreciate, especially since I honestly found it so awful I couldn't finish a bite. When I gave my reason he did say something troubling. He said the chef uses fish stock in a lot of his dishes which A) should be noted for those who are allergic and B) still doesn't account for the canned fish overwhelming the dish. Hopefully he saw I wasn't being difficult and giving honest feedback. Anyway, I'm happy he did the right thing. Mozzarella sticks were free with yelp check in and average. Roasted potatoes were good but are more like potato wedges and not fingerling are small whole roasted potatoes. Which is fine but unexpected. The tiramisu comes in a cup and tastes mostly of whipped cream. The set up and outside are cute. The staff work hard and really tried to give a great experience. The problem really is the food. It's bland at its best and inedible at its worst. With more restaurants opening in the area soon I would not bet on CTC for the long haul unless they start to put better food on their plates.

New casual Italian street food joint in Little Italy next to the bustling Waterfront bar…read more Food was pretty good but not mind blowingly delicious. This place earns its fourth star as service was outstanding, prices are on par, there was no wait, and we got a small order of two fried mozzarella sticks for free with our Yelp check-in. It seems much of the food is pre-made and then heated up to be piping hot (like the lasagna). Some clearly seemed made to order, like the fried chicken and fried artichokes. There are tons of desserts in their display case, including tortes and traditional or strawberry tiramisu. I only really liked the sausage calzone ($5), which was pretty small but delicious especially the crust. The lasagna was huge for only $9, and tasted homemade (light not heavy or salty) but I wasn't wow'd. The fried artichokes (tiny pieces instead of big leaves) were on the soft side not too crunchy. The fried chicken ($9) which is a specialty here was just OK-- small panko-battered thigh cutlets with a decent flavor. The place was almost entirely empty on a weekend evening, and my dining companions and I were seated right away on the outside patio. There are not a lot of seats but this doesn't seem to be a problem. The bathroom is located down the block, and you have to get a key from the staff. My companions chose to wait until they got home because they didn't want to bother but I didn't find it too annoying. BOTTOM LINE: A nice place for a quick meal with excellent service, but food was not especially memorable. I might go back to try a tiramisu since in Italy tiramisu is better at takeaway places versus sit down restaurants.

This is a long overdue review! I ordered flowers for Mother's Day a bit behind schedule so when I…read morewent to place the order, only Monday showed up as an option for delivery, rather than the Sunday of Mother's Day which is completely understandable. I chose Monday and then a few hours later got a phone call from someone at Garden Florist who noticed my flowers were intended for Mother's Day and asked if I'd like them delivered Sunday for no extra charge. What amazing service! My mom absolutely loved her flowers. I will absolutely go to garden florist again

Chantal was so understanding of our situation and gave us so much incredible advice and assistance even though everything was so rushed. Despite the crazy situation, you truly never would have known on the day because everything was perfect, and the flowers were both beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. Even the smallest details were handled expertly, such as having a second groom's boutonniere ready for the ceremony as we had chosen a fragile flower that wouldn't hold up through all the pre-ceremony pictures. Could not be happier with or more appreciative of their services and would recommend them without a moment's hesitation!

Anita did a fantastic job with our wedding flowers. For our small backyard wedding, I ordered a…read morebridal bouquet, a boutonnière, and a centerpiece. The challenge is that both the groom and I are allergic to a variety of flowers, so we needed the floral arrangements to be limited to the list of "safe" flowers for both of us. Anita more than delivered. She was easy to reach by email and text, we spoke on the phone about what I had in mind, and sent her some inspo pictures and a list of safe and not safe flowers. Anita's arrangements were beautiful, fresh, and just the look I had in mind. And most importantly, everyone was able to enjoy the flowers without allergies. I would recommend Anita to anyone looking for a good florist in the Thousand Oaks area!

But I never really remembered the name of the place or if it was still there so I was thrilled today when I realized THIS was the place! The same dear woman is there after allll these years & she's adorable & hospitable & they still have the chocolate covered honeycomb bars!

One of my best friends was having a really rough day and I wanted to cheer her up at work, so I…read moredecided to send her some flowers. After a bit of research, I found Flower Power Studio near my BFF's office. Initially, I was placing my order online, but decided to call and see if I could actually get the order out same day. It was late afternoon around 3:30 pm when I called and spoke with Rebecca. She was so sweet and accommodating. She also confirmed that I could just place my order with her on the phone and get it out that day before my BFF's office closed. (She only had about a 1.5 hr window.) She assured me that she'd get the order done and would even text me a picture of the arrangement prior to delivery to ensure that I knew what my BFF would be receiving. About an hour later, my BFF blows up my phone with a million texts asking me if I sent her flowers (I left my name off the card.) and jokingly I told her no. She said she just started crying because she was so happy and also the flowers were gorgeous. It definitely helped brighten her day a bit. Small gestures go a long way for me and even more so when people go out of their way. Rebecca was amazing! Thank you for making my BFF feel better and thank you for making it so easy for me to do something nice for her. Also, prices are pretty reasonable, I can't complain. You definitely get your money's worth.
