Superba 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 the setting.
