The food here is outstanding! The service in my previous experiences has been VERY good! Tonight ... the service was sub-par! We waited almost an hour for someone to take our order. Not sure if they were short staffed or having a staff meeting or what- but all someone had to do was explain... instead I just heard 3 times, "we all work as a team here" what does that even mean???? I will give it another chance.. but Also they brought a "complementary" desert... I LOVE sweets, but this was terrible!! So glad I didn't pay for it! Guess they can't do sweets well!

I’ve lived in Sherman Oaks for over 25 years and this was my first visit to Panzanella, as I was waiting for a special occasion. So my husband and I went there to celebrate our 9-year anniversary and it exceeded all of our expectations. EVERYTHING about our experience was EXCELLENT! This is certain to be our go-to restaurant for future celebrations!!
