This review is primarily to praise the excellent service we received from Fabiola, who took care of our patio table of 12 (plus two dogs) on a very busy Sunday. We were celebrating the 10-year anniversary of my mom’s passing, with family traveling from LA, OC, and San Diego to meet for lunch at CdB.We ordered a variety of appetizers, iced water, alcoholic beverages, and of course our meals. Not a single order was messed up. The timing of the food delivery was great, and Fabiola frequently checked in with our table, which we really appreciated. She ran the show like someone who has handled large parties with ease many times before.Fabiola was attentive, friendly, and quick to return with anything we asked for. She even added a bit of humor when interacting with our group, which made the experience even better.We had no complaints about the food, and anyone who didn’t finish their meal happily took the leftovers home.We also love CdB’s outdoor patio—it’s spacious, features a beautiful fountain, and has plenty of table umbrellas for shade. Another big plus is that they’re dog-friendly.If you dine here and Fabiola is assigned to your table, you’ll definitely be well taken care of.
