The cooks and servers tried desperately to make this a better place for Oakhurst. It takes many years to establish a dependable restaurant. I hope more people give Dennis a second and third chance.. if people are traveling, they might want to try the Dennys on state College Boulevard in Anaheim across from Angel Stadium. Or the Dennys in Pismo Beach or the Dennis in Paso Robles.. They make staffing priority and the employees pass on how they're treated to you.

A sad version of what is supposed to be a Brownie Sundae with Oreo® Pieces
Leah M.

HORRIBLE!!!!! I had an Uber Eats order for desserts for one of each of the following (6 items): Lava cookie skillet Apple pie crisp Brownie sundae with Oreo pieces Strawberry shake Chocolate shake Oreo milkshake I tracked the driver so I know he was there exactly when the order was ready and came directly to our house to drop it off so the desserts looking like this was definitely not his fault. First of all, there were NO shakes whatsoever! Just scoops of ice cream on a plate! The other 3 desserts just looked like crap and unappetizing. I can't imagine what the food they serve looks like if they mess up dessert this bad! I guess their numerous 1 star reviews say it all.

The lady on shift this morning I believe Laura who claims she's the manager (but I've never seen her before this week) has an awful attitude she sent all her employees home and then it got busy and it took almost 30 minutes for our food to come out and it was just sitting in the window the whole time. If a manager can't handle a restaurant by herself maybe she should have kept some of her staff. Also I thought Denny's managers weren't allowed to steal tips and tables from their staff who probably need it more. I've had good experiences lately until she came along you guys were improving but as long as she's there you guys will sink again be better Denny's. Restaurant was dirty dishes everywhere just her in sight on her phone smh. Food was still delicious so thank you chef ! It wasn't your fault it was cold.

We got a breakfast burrito, ginger cookie, a coffee, and fresh squeezed orange juice to go. The burrito was simple but delicious. The cookie was really good - maybe one of the best ginger snap cookies I've had. The staff here were very nice and courteous and food came out fairly quickly. There's a lot of space for seating with cute retro decorations. We enjoyed our experience and came back for lunch the next day!

There was a short line when we arrived. It took about 16 minutes just to order 2 cappuccinos and 2 pastries. The coffees too another 5 minutes . The line is longer as i wrote this review. Not sure who the manager is but I don't see a lot of managing the line occurring. We went the next day because the other bakery i. Town served stale blueberry muffins and the barrister wasn't working. This time at Bees, there was no line. But it still took more than ten minutes to get our cappuccino. The cheese Danish were made from puff pastry sheets that are sold frozen and they were filled with a tasty but sparse cheese filling. I went from three stars to two. Not worth the price (2 danish and 2 large cappuccino ($22)

Unfortunately, the quality was far below expectations. The coffee had a noticeably salty, unpleasant taste, and the matcha was extremely bitter with no trace of vanilla at all. We order this same drink regularly at other cafés, so we know what it should taste like--this was not it at all. It was also far too strong for a child, despite specifically asking for it to be kid-friendly. When I politely brought this up, I was surprised by how it was handled. I simply asked to add a little vanilla for it to taste better. Instead of offering to remake the drink or find a solution, I was told I would need to purchase a new one. I rarely ever ask for drinks to be redone, but this one was genuinely undrinkable. What made the situation worse was the attitude of the staff. The response felt dismissive and unprofessional, particularly from an employee named DJ. The interaction left us feeling unwelcome and unheard. Overall, poor quality drinks and disappointing customer service. We won't be returning.

While walking in, I thought to myself "it's gorgeous, why didn't we stay here again?" and then remembered because all of their low ratings as a hotel are due to poor service. The receptionist at the entrance is very bleh (didn't even greet us, she just looked at us so we said hello first ). We sat down and ordered. We were the only customers. The girl who took our order was nice enough but lacked professionalism. She just seemed out of it. She didn't write down our order, but a few minutes later came back saying "wait what did you for your entree again?". I'm glad she double checked, but for the price of the food and aesthetic of the restaurant, I expected better service. I ordered the wagyu burger but wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked - I assume they only cook it well-done because that's how it came. It didn't have the juicy buttery flavor of Wagyu, or really any flavor at all. The bread was good. The fries are phenomenal and I liked that more than my burger Carrots & whipped ricotta was good but not great - very flat flavor profile of ricotta, honey, and carrots. I think this dish could've been better with some acidity like a bit of lemon on the side. The chicken pesto penne pasta was good, but still flat. It would be better with cherry tomatoes or something to give it depth. The pasta was cooked perfectly Despite the chicken being absolutely tiny (approx 4"), it was juicy. Wish there was more of it I didn't care for the butternut squash soup but my husband liked it. It had good flavor but was very thin. Overall the place is pretty, but I wouldn't return as the food was very forgettable. It's a shame that the best thing was the side of fries. I'm giving a 4 due to the food tasting clean/quality.

That is exactly what happened during my recent dinner at Elderberry House. I visited with a group of four, and between us, we had two gluten-free diners and one vegetarian. After a quick heads-up the day before, the restaurant handled our needs with total ease. We went for the five-course tasting menu, and it was incredible from start to finish. We kicked things off with one of the best oysters I have ever had, followed by a beautiful tuna presentation. The kitchen even looked out for our gluten-free friends with a special version of their herbal-butter focaccia that was actually delicious. By the time the main courses arrived, I honestly could not decide if I liked my beef or my friend's snap pea risotto better; every single bite was pure perfection. The cocktails were another high point. My first drink was great, but after chatting with our server, Jordan, I decided to try the Last Word. It featured that hard-to-find green chartreuse, and I am a little annoyed to report that I have a new favorite cocktail that requires such a rare ingredient. The service is what really made the night so special. Jordan was so charismatic and helpful, making sure we were perfectly taken care of all evening. He was so good that I almost worried a second visit would not be the same without him, though the rest of the staff quickly put that fear to rest. Abby was so friendly and responsible for a truly unique but perfect-for-the-vibe playlist, and Chris the mixologist even stopped by to geek out about gin and cocktails with us. From the genuine care for our food sensitivities to the clever touch of the iPad check-in hidden in an elegant binder, it was a night for the books. I cannot recommend this place enough and look forward to bringing my family next!

I wasn't expecting to find a Mexican restaurant like this in a smaller town, but I'm glad we stopped by! We ordered the chicken flautas, al pastor quesadilla, and albondigas soup. The chicken flautas were good, but I felt like they were missing a little something. I think having some salsa or guacamole on the side would have made them even better, though the hot sauce they provided did the job. Unfortunately, the albondiga soup wasn't my favorite. I found it a little bland and wished it had more flavor. The real star of the meal was the al pastor quesadilla! The meat was incredibly flavorful and juicy, and it was so good that I still think about it. The ambiance was nice, with a theme that fit the restaurant well, making it a nice place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Our server was also really friendly, and the service was good overall. Overall, Pazuelas is a solid place to stop for a meal if you're passing through Oakhurst, especially on your way to Yosemite. Just make sure to try the Al Pastor quesadilla!
