Enjoying Montrose In The Summer

The summer of 2020 will go down in the history books as one far different than any of us have experienced in our lifetimes. With so much news swirling about it is more important than ever to take some time for ourselves. Step away. Take a break. Breathe in some fresh air. What an oasis we have in Montrose! Thankfully several of our restaurants have patios. This one, at ALISSA'S OCEAN VIEW BAR & GRILL, is making the most of a good thing. Colorful, shady umbrellas by day and twinkling white lights by night.

The dinner menu has a nice emphasis on fresh seafood. Their famous Fish & Chips or Whitefish Piccata are both winners and the daily specials are very tempting. On this evening, the grilled Salmon with a Soy Ginger glaze was patio perfection.

Meanwhile on Honolulu Ave. the parklets are in full swing. Initially six were installed. Recently two more have been added bringing the total to eight. They are assigned to restaurants that have been permitted to operate outdoors through the City Of Glendale. Shoppers and diners just love them! Colorful umbrellas provide shade during the day and at night our Southern California weather is just the thing for alfresco dining.

With open air and lush plantings, the Montrose Shopping Park, is ideal to stroll and shop. Enjoy the yellow hibiscus, Glendale's signature flower, and pop in the many boutiques.

Take some time out to enjoy frozen yogurt, homemade ice cream, or a coffee drink. It's like having a vacation yet so close to home!

The Summer banners are out, the trees are in bloom, and it's a great time to SHOP & DINE MONTROSE!
