   Decided to try a new place for my birthday. Over all the food was great with the exception of one dish. I ordered the salmon with the piccata sauce and vegetables. The salmon was extremely dry but the sauce made up for the dryness of the salmon. My kids had a pizza and pesto capellini which they enjoyed. I would go back but order something else besides the salmon. The noise level was a bit too loud for my liking. Perhaps it was the crowd that evening but it was a little difficult to hold a conversation with my kids without having to repeat myself.

   Great food, great cocktails service was slow and inattentive. When we sat down our neighboring table offered us canollies that had been gifted to them for having to wait over an hour to be served. 😳. They were good, and we did not share the same experience, thankfully. Very much a family hangout, kids running around being kids. Not a date nite place.

   We went for Sunday brunch, a party of 6. We were on the patio where they have music which was very nice. They have a lot of umbrellas to provide shade. Our server, Izzy, was fantastic. Each person in our group ordered something different and half of us cleared our plates and the other half took home small to go’s because they finished most there. The food was fantastic. It’s our 2nd time there and we will be back.

   I always have a great experience at Alza Kitchen. The manicotti is just the way my grandmother use to make it. We also like the chicken Marsala and they make great pizza too. Tonight, (Saturday night) they had a terrific band called Vintage Vinyl that do 80’s cover music. The band was really awesome and place was packed. We had a wonderful night!
