It was the opening weekend for the Americana on Brand in Glendale and I was so excited. Developed by Caruso, the Americana was a modified version of the Grove. Complete with shopping, fine dining, eateries and movie theater, the Americana is located right next to the Glendale Galleria and Marketplace. My friend and I braved the crowds of people bustling about, but we were hungry. Not willing to spend the money for Katsuya or to wait in line for Cheesecake Factory, we chose the Jewel City Diner. Although it was also very crowded, we managed to snag two chairs at the counter.
Our tuna melt and burger took too long to arrive because of the huge amount of customers in line for take out and seated in. Cooks were frantically putting orders together, but were running out of ingredients. Luckily, we received our food before the diner had to close due to the lack of burger patties and veggies. The burger and tuna melt were average but the fries were yummy. Hopefully, the diner improves to make up for its weak start.
