California Pizza Kitchen At Lakewood

I loved this branch of CPK, and we met many big servers on this branch? HOWEVER, exactly this Saturday we experienced a terrible service that this CPK offered by the MALE SERVER WORKING AT THE BAR. Not one who is very picky, but his attitude did not agree with his role of the waiter: a listener and the qualities of attentive and flexible being. He rushed everywhere and seemed upset/valued and impatient to IMMENSELY when we ordered or would ask for something because he had other things to do. It's like he has no time in his day to visit the customers that are so ironic. Once I would order a duck, it's like he just wanted to get the words out of my mouth while he hurried and rushed as if he had to visit something else immediately. Not only that, it seemed like he wanted you to finish your meal right away at the minute we sit down. If he would bring us our food, he would go quickly before he asked if we needed something. I have seen that this restaurant is busy before, but today it was not packed, so its actions were very disappointing. In addition, not only do I write this due to my negative experience with him, but I would not be shocked if he also treated other customers in this way. Looks like he doesn't even want to serve, wow. He was a waiter of us at least twice and we were never satisfied with him, and I am so surprised that he still has his job in this industry. Really a shame that managers allowed this or one of their workers to act in this way, or indeed even keep a worker like that, as the managers in this industry are so efficient and seem to try to give their best work for their customers.

I had the BBQ chicken salad. It was delicious and my son loved his pepperoni pizza.

Staff in this location is a hit or miss but for the most part friendly and polite. The food is consistent as far as serving size, freshness and flavor so thats a good thing. We haven 't had any issues with our food. The dinning room is always decent and clean. We haven 't sat out in the patio but that is open aswell. The order and pick up needs to improve. Our last pick up order was given to us without bread, plastic utensils or napkins even though I made sure to check it off before I placed the order. My daughter noticed before I drove away so she had to get off and run back in. She said who ever helped her gave her attitude for asking for bread and oil.

The server didn't really want to serve. The food was surprisingly good though!

This rating is as much for the excellent service that I always receive here from Vanessa, she's the best! She?s been at this location since it first opened, and she is very friendly and helpful?and is very good about remembering small details about returning customers. Very nice touch! Apart from the awesome service, the food is also very good and tasty too! CPK has a generous rewards system for those that join the program, which is free. The Avocado egg rolls are such a great appetizer here, and the chocolate soufflé and butter cake desserts are also a delicious and sweet way to cap off a meal
