I recently went here today for lunch, I believe it is the second day of opening. I have been to this restaurant before in West Hollywood, and I’ve had a good experience with them before
Before I write this full review, I want to be clear that I would be happy to change this to a four or five star review if they made a few small changes
At the end of our bill, there was a 3% happy charge that was applied to our bill, it might not seem like a big deal, but I believe it is important to be transparent with the customer
It didn’t feel ethical to add a charge. I didn’t consent to, and did not explain it as well, there was nothing “ Happy” About to charge for us
We also asked for a few sides of sauces, like basic ranch, which they added as a charge for each side dressing at the end of the bill. This also was not communicated to us
I believe the service was good, the staff was friendly, and the food was good as well, but it leaves a bad taste when you’re not upfront with your customers about certain charges
If they changed this policy to communicate upfront, letting people know the 3% fee was optional, and that certain things have an additional charge, I will happily change this review To a higher star level to support the business
I just wanted to be honest, coming from...
Read moreSuperba Food + Bread in Calabasas offers a pleasant location and atmosphere, but unfortunately, the dining experience does not live up to its setting.
The menu itself feels disjointed, with unusual item pairings that come across more confusing than creative. I ordered the chicken schnitzel, which arrived dry and lacking flavor. The appetizer plate, featuring yogurt and tomato, had potential, but it was overwhelmed by excessive condiments. The tomatoes in particular were disappointing, with a soft texture that suggested they were not fresh.
Pricing is another concern. The menu is significantly overpriced considering the quality and execution of the dishes. To add to this, a surcharge was applied to our bill for a party of two, which is both unusual and questionable. The receipt also indicated “happy hour” at 8 p.m.—a detail that was neither advertised nor explained. Such practices raise concerns about transparency and management priorities.
In summary, while the restaurant benefits from a nice location, the food quality, menu design, and pricing do not justify a return visit. The added surcharge and lack of clarity in billing reinforce an impression of poor management decisions. I would rate Superba Food + Bread in Calabasas 1 out of 5, and that is solely for...
Read moreThis is the spot that Calabasas desperately needed! They've created the cutest little patio filled with potted plants and olive trees everywhere so you don't even feel like you're at a strip mall in suburbia. It feels like you could be in Montecito, it's so cute!
I went there for coffee with some friends after drop off and it was the most comfortable and enjoyable spot to linger and enjoy some coffee which is amazing by the way. We each ordered different breakfast toasts and they were all delicious. The smoked fish tartine ended up being the star of the show...I was iffy on it from reading the menu but I will 100% order that next time even though they were all good.
The staff was very doting and accommodating and made us feel so welcome. We were not rushed and felt comfortable taking our...
