In Short – With a menu that moves from burgers and fries to a fantastic range of imported olives, this deli aims to please every possible appetite. Utilizing a mix of fresh local produce and Mediterranean flavoring ingredients, the treats include strong espresso, an artichoke sampler plate, hearty kebabs and Turkish sausages. Regular wine tastings, cooking classes and live music-not to mention heaps of free samples from the deli cases-supply an unending list of reasons to stop by.

BEWARE OF TALL DARK CURLY HAIRED SERVER

by jutah12356

Terrible experience. Went in June 09 for a lunch meeting and was double charged on my credit card for our meal. A young woman with dark curly hair was our server. She seated us and took our orders but her attentiveness and communication skills were terrible. She doesnt really listen to anything anybody says and is super defensive at all times. She is maybe 25, has a very condescending attitude and her overall customer service is straight up TERRIBLE. Totally wouldn't go back strictly due to her.

As far as my credit card goes, I called 3 times and one of those calls I spoke directly to the owner who assured me he would take care of it...yet as I'm writing this I still have not seen my card reimbursed. I went in in person tonight and the same server was there tried to tell me there was nothing she could do to help and I'd have to come back a week later and talk to the owner. Again, super unhelpful and just plain weird vibes from this girl. Another waitress who was younger and way more attractive came over and was a lot more helpful. Even as this other girl was trying to help me, the tall server was all in my face trying to bogard (sic) the situation trying to tell me like it was. The younger server gave me a look while the tall one was talking like "ignore her, shes crazy"... after that, I just turned my back on her. Its like she's a total control freak or somehting that is super insescure and she was offended that I didn't just take her at her word and leave. All I want is my money back for being double charged!!!! Is that too much to ask????? All the other girls in there understood and were way more helpful and sincere. However, not the tall server. SHE IS REALLY BAD SHE NEEDS TO BE FIRED ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the brighter side, the food here is amazing!!!!

  • Pros: food
  • Cons: my credit card was double charged, service

PAY IN CASH ONLY !!!

by tattooedmomma

I have eaten here many times, over the years, and usually the service is very poor. I had been willing to overlook the crappy service, because I LOVE the " La Fontana's" but, the last time, I ate there my card was double charged, I contacted the owner " Timur " and he said he would fix it.

Well, he never did " I had to file a fraud claim with my bank to get reimbursed" So, if your expectations, of getting decent service, are low and, you have cash on hand.. they do have really good gyros.

  • Pros: delicious gyro's
  • Cons: horrible service, double charged, dishonest owner

Not bad for an Saturday evening out

by javachix

A group of us girls went there for a birthday celebration on a Saturday /We called ahead and our table was ready when we arrived. It was busy and noisy, fine for us semi-rowdy group of 40+ women. The belly dancer was entertaining and spent alot of time dancing on top of our table. The food came at a normal pace and was quite tasty. The wine was enjoyable as well. Parking was no problem, we found on street parking a block away. I would probably go back if i lived closer to the restaurant, but id still recommend it for a fun enjoyable evening.

  • Pros: Casual, good food.
  • Cons: busy, noisy. atmosphere is so-so
