BevMo doesn't have as wide of a selection of alcoholic beverages as Total Wine, but I appreciate the fact that they also have non alcoholic beverages and mixers in addition to their selection of spirits, wine, and beer. I browsed around and saw various diet tonic and regular tonic waters, craft sodas, various flavors of bitters- very nice! I went here in search of some soju or sochu. They only had one variety, but I did eye a bottle of lychee liquor that was next to it. Overall, it's a good place to shop for beverages.


This is mostly for the Imaging Center. \nGreat service; love the staff.\nGreat rates on processing.\nGo shoot some film and get it done here.


What the hell happened here?? The service is slow, food is mediocre, quality is slipping, dining area is dirty and decrepit... This used to be an inexpensive alternative to PF Changs.. Now it's a half step above Denny's. You're off your game BIG TIME.


My friends and I checked into T.I and started walking to the elevator to go up to the room when we saw PHO.. we were AMAZED! and super excited even though it probably wouldn't be the greatest.. but PHO in vegas right downstairs from our room was amazing to us. We later heard it was $15 a bowl for a pho dac biet and I cringed.. told myself I probably wouldn't get any.. but to cure a really bad hang over I gave in. Me and my friend went down and it actually wasn't too bad.. there are TONS of noodles.. so much that I couldn't finish my $15 bowl :( but it did cure my hang over and I was a happy camper. The next day after going to XS we were tired and hungry and drunk so we went in again and tried the pho ga which was amazing... (maybe because I was drunk) but totally worth $12. The most expensive pho and pho ga I've ever had.. ONLY IN VEGAS!


Incredible!!  I have been craving Korean food like crazy and this place make those cravings 10 times worse.  First, the atmosphere is great...it's mellow with some kpop playing in the background.  And the drinks are fantastic as well...my favorite, by far, was the yogurt soju cocktails.  They're sweet and super light, but you'll definitely feel the effects fast.  Order the pitcher, it's a great deal.\n\nBut the food is the real star.  We started off with seafood dduk boki (spicy seafood with korean ricecake tubes) and it was super fresh and delicious.  Also, the owners were kind enough to send us over a pot of free odeng (fishcakes in a bubbling hot broth) and it was sooo good, especially dipped in the special soy sauced based sauce.  We also ordered the korean chicken wings (sticky, spicy, amazing), the kimchi fried rice (the best I've ever had, next to mom's), the spicy bbq pork (really smokey and a little spicy...super good), the cold noodles, and the bi bim bap.  Everything was incredible and we left stuffed.  Also, the prices are very reasonable, the service was excellent, and did I mention how good the food is??\n\nCheck it out, asap!


Alchemy is one of my very, very favorite dining/imbibing establishments anywhere.  Everything here is somewhere on the spectrum of excellent to amazing.  The staples on the daily menu are fantastic - their burgers are some of Madison's very best, and the specials, oh, the specials!  You have to go early because people are onto this place and they sell out fast.  It's worth the effort to get there, and it's worth the wait, even if it's crowded (it often is).  Bring cash or your ATM card.\n\nThe beer list rivals the food menu, with often-rotating beers including some that aren't seen often.  It's definitely one of the best tap lineups in town, and this is a beer town.  \n\nAlchemy is a very casual, unassuming tavern that doesn't necessarily tip you off to what awaits you when you order, and that's part of what makes it such a cool place.  \n\nThis is a somewhat short review but that shouldn't imply there's not a lot to say about Alchemy, because I could go on and on.  You'll be glad you don't have a lot to read because you'll get there sooner!


I was so tired when I came Here and didn't eat as much as I had wished to!\n\nFirst of all, service was weird. That's something you never really heard of huh? Our waiter was attentive meaning he checked up on us a lot but he would ask us if we got this or that roll. A little odd because the chefs or him should be marking off what we ordered.\n\nSecondly this place not only has sushi but hamburgers, French onion soup, wings, fries, and a bunch of non-Japanese food items! That's pretty cool since some kids may not like sushi or too young to have it. \n\nSo my aunt and uncle did most of the ordering so I don't know what some of the names of the rolls are but Alfred R. Has pictures for you to see! \n\nExtra Spicy salmon salad: the salad and salmon was really good but my aunt and I couldn't handle the extra spiciness. Those chefs were true to their word. I felt like my tongue was on fire for 30 mins!! It was the good Kind of spicy but I could not eat at all. We ended up having them remake it.\n\nJohnny roll: this would have been absolutely delicious if the cucumber weren't so bitter. Maybe they soaked it in something to keep it \"fresh\" or discoloration! \n \nOne of my favorite was crab and avocado wrapped in salmon! That is definitely a must try! The presentation was attractive and appealing to the naked eye! \n\nI believe we got the Jose roll and it was tasty but the albacore was a bit off. \n\nWhite tuna and salmon nigri were great! Seemed like their salmon was more fresh than their tuna at the time. Also they served this last so you could fill up on rolls first and then you can't stand looking at the nigri when they bring out. Smart and sly but not cool. \n\nThat's all I remember but I wished I had more of the nigri! Oh they serve mochi ice cream! \n\nEnjoy! :)


Dropped by this place for lunch, didn't seem all that busy, I saw 6 empty tables, but when I said  I was by myself, I was told it would be about 10 minutes before a spot at the bar would open up.\n\nI'm sorry, but at the lunch hour, you won't sit a single at a table, you lose my business.  Walked out


I've been frequenting this pharmacy for at least 3 years, and I find this review is long overdue.  I'd like the start by saying the pharmacists here are skilled and knowledgeable, even if they never remember who I am.  The techs they have working here are another story, Not only are they not skilled, and not knowledgeable, they very obviously lack general customer service skills.  \n\nI have two of my scripts set up on auto fill, every 90 days.  For those of you not familiar with the auto fill concept, it's supposed to take the hassle out of refilling your drugs, with the pharmacy taking care of contacting your Dr and filling it on time.  In the last 12 months, my auto fill has been messed up 3x, considering it only fills 4x a year, that's not really impressive.  Each time it's been a different excuse, and each time I end up making multiple phone calls and trips to the pharmacy to get it straightened out.  This last time, it took me 3 phone calls and 3 trips.  \n\nThe techs with whom I spoke to on the phone were rude and argumentative.  After I gave up on calling and went in person, with a reasonable solution, Ada (the tech attempting to assist me) spent a solid 15 minutes arguing with me, insisting what I was asking for could not be done.  Since this wasn't my first rodeo with Cvs, (I had them perform this request before), I knew I was being bs'd.  While a line of angry people formed behind me, she got flustered and took a phone call.  Apparently she decided she was no longer going to help me.  One of the pharmacists stepped up to help the next person in line, and she told him to help me instead.  I explained my plight to him, and he resolved it in less than 2 minutes.  \n\nThe moral of this story is if the techs don't know how to do, they will tell you it can't be done.  They have no interest in actually helping you, and are not concerned with the lack of customer service they provide.  On my last call, I informed the tech that I found her inability to provide a solution unacceptable, and her response was I can't change it....no admission of guilt, not even an apology, just pure attitude and contempt.  So go ahead, mess up my prescription, catch an attitude with me and refuse to fix it.  I'm sure that will work out for you in the long run.


great salads and their fries and chips are to die for.My friend's love their grilled cheese (not on the menu) and i've always had awesome. service. Great place for lunch and a good beer!


Ew. Ew ew ew. My palette is not THAT discerning, by any means. But. Flavorless canned mushrooms and frozen spinach in my omelet. No seasoning, and just sort of a big sloppy mess dropped onto a plate. Took forever to take our order, much less get it to us. Only reason it's getting 2 stars is that the hash browns were okay. Not really sure why it gets such high reviews.


I tried a slice of lemon cake; it tasted very artificial...kind of pinesol-ish. Definitely not homemade. I also tried a few cookies that were OK, nothing to get too excited about.


This place is what it is.  Uneven service (we had the best and worst waitresses I've ever had, in one night), uneven and mediocre food, and so-so mixed drinks.  But, there is something alluring about the extremely laid back atmosphere and nice setting.  It's as if you stumbled into a somewhat dumpy, but still very fun joint in Rocky Point.  Yes, I felt obligated to give it two starts based on the fundamentals, but the proof is in the pudding; we stayed for five hours last night!  So, something is right!  The volleyball aspect is nice, but there is only one court now, so be sure to call ahead.  There is some league activity that takes over that court for multiple weeknights.   \n\nWould I recommend S.S?  No (Yes).  :)


Worst Chinese buffet I've had in town. Got a flyer in the mail and the picture and price was attractive and decided to give it a try. It was a big disappointment! Food did not taste good, alot of dried up dishes. The place is in desperate need of remodeling. Would not come back.


I've had my tiny monster mutt for just a few months, and after sampling a bunch of different dog parks, this is by far the best one. There are two sides, one for active (ahem, larger dogs) and passive (generally the smaller dogs) dogs. Both have large grassy areas, water and plenty of places to perch (though, er, keep those legs away from the side of the concrete blocks...many things have been sprayed upon those surfaces).  Besides the two sides, the owners here seem really responsible, keeping careful watch on their dogs and making sure there aren't any signs of aggression. I'd suggest making sure you bring your own water as the fountains are a bit underwhelming. Just be prepared for attracting a large pack of water-seeking canines during the hot months.


The entire staff at this office is completely incompetent. I went here in Jan 2012, and after waiting AN HOUR past my appointment time, I was finally taken back to the exam room. I had been experiencing a sharp ear pain and all I wanted was some medicated ear drops.... Dr Mendelson prescribed me NASAL SPRAY. In addition they made me do a hearing test which came back normal (which btw that lady treated me like I was 5 years old and special needs). I think the staff should take the hearing test themselves because THEY DON'T LISTEN to anything their patients tell them. I left the office in tears.


I foolishly lived at San Simeon for nearly 3 years. At first, the apartment I was in seemed decent because it was my first apartment ever! After our 13 month lease was up, I moved into an upgraded unit near the water. At first, it seemed great. I quickly learned that the carpet, which was suppose to be \"upgraded\" was WORSE than the As-Is unit. It is a cheap tan berber carpet that looks completely filthy and destroyed within an hour of walking on it. Maintenance was so slow to respond to a leak in the bathroom and then shut off the water completely in the bathroom and never told us when it would be back on! After 7 months in the unit, I was informed that I had to vacate within 2 months because the owner of the unit (I was never informed it was a privately owned unit at any point) wanted us out, even though we payed rent promptly every month. In fit and a hurry, my roommate and I moved into a 3 bedroom because we were thinking the space would be nice...IT WAS A LEMON!!!\n\nWhen I go my keys, the office girl told me the carpet was new and that there was a hole in the master bedroom door (my room) and that it would be replaced a.s.a.p. Well, it took them ONE MONTH to finally give me a new door! Not to mention that my bedroom door wouldn't even close all the way unless I shoved it and when I asked them to fix it, they didn't! The carpet was not new and one of the laundry doors fell off. A few months later, the oven didn't work at all and it keep shorting out our power when we tried to fix it. When I went to the office for help (Because no one EVER answers the phone) I saw a sign on the door stating the office closed early...for the super bowl! Like it counted as a holiday!). I hated this apartment so much that I actually moved out early, moved in with my boyfriend, and continued to pay my portion of the rent. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE!!!\n\nThe worst part is when I left. In the past, I never had deposit issues, until it was in regards to me leaving the complex. The staff was snotty and cold. Then I get a $1100 bill in the mail from them! They claimed that the carpet damage was irreversible and it needed to be replaced. I fought it and fought it, I even met with the maintenance man who signed off on my move in check list that stated the carpet was not new and not in good condition. HE ADDMITTED THAT THE CARPET THEY SUPPLY IS A CHEAP BERBER AND IS EXTREMELY POOR IN QUALITY AND HE ADMITTED THAT NEARLY ALL OF THE TENANTS HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT REPLACED!!!! HE COMPLETELY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SAN SIMEON SCREWS PEOPLE!!! HIS NAME IS RENEE, IN CASE YOU EVER NEED TO KNOW.\n\nThe staff is uneducated, lazy, and unresponsive. The maintenance does not care and is slower than a snail to respond. The apartments are a joke and poorly constructed. Please, don't waste your hard earned money.


Worst food I've tasted since 1995. Service was terrible and the filet mignon was cardboard. Very disappointed. Will never return


So let's start by putting DC Steak House into perspective relative to their price: Due to the pricing of their plates DC Steak House is competing with Flemming's, Ruth's Chris, Morton's, City Hall and even The Keg. \n\nUpon entering the establishment we were warmly greeted, quickly seated and the waiter was on top of taking our drink order. However it was a bit unusual that the waiter never went over the menu, never asked if we had any questions or made any type of presentation. He simply just kept checking with us until we were prepared to tell him what we wanted. \n\nWe decided to order calamari (as the appetizer) two Filet Mignon's, a loaded baked potato, steak fries and asparagus for an extra side. The calamari was slow to come out of the kitchen but was pretty good - I've had better, I've had a lot worse. Next up were the Filets (which took even longer to serve) that had a perfect grill mark presentation. Our sides appeared to be thrown on the plate and the \"loaded\" baked potato is a plain potato, still wrapped in foil, that you must finish preparing yourself. \n\nThe steak was decent tasting and they use a very high quality cut. After I made my own loaded baked potato, and removed the foil, I realized the skin wasn't even salted, grilled or.... made that appealing. Our asparagus was over salted and... well ... I just wasn't very impressed with anything thus far.\n\nAs a matter of fact - If I had tasted these steaks VS. ....dare I say .... Outback that Outback would come out ahead in the flavor category (even though they don't use a high quality cut) and it's 1/3 the cost. When you start comparing the other restaurants mentioned DC Steak House can not compete in any category (Food, Service, Decor, Drinks, Bar...) \n\nSummary: If you want the best or need to impress then go to any other steak house mentioned in my first paragraph. If you want to eat here to say you've experienced it - then go for it. It's not bad.


Ive been here a couple times while shopping.. Good for draft beers happy hour and the mexico ish rocky point feel,.. cigarette smoke, stinky fish and stale beer smell. Its great until you order the food. Service was fast and friendly.  Knowledgeable and talkative with the hungover customers at the end of the bar getting their hair of the dog..   So I thought  I'd try the fish tacos grilled ( mahi mahi on the menu) . I remember eating here before a couple years ago and thinking it sucked. Nothings changed. The fish tacos tasted really fishy. Like reaaallly fishy. So fishy I couldnt finish the bite and lost my appetite. The black beans were dried up around the edges like they'd been sitting under a hot lamp and the rice was boxed... my grama is white and makes wayyy better... but either way the mahi mahi was so fishy i was concerned for the health and safety of future patrons.  Like Really fishy!  I sent the dish back and stuck with the beer.  The waitress was cool and offered the menu, stated she \"would tell the cooks to check the fish\"..,  but I still left hungry. Might come back for happy hour drafts. :(


We ate here in early April. The wait staff were very helpful and knew the menu quite well. Which is impressive because the menu is HUGE. We told our waitress it was our first visit and she was genuinely enthused to help us have good experience. The portions are Flinstone's sized, so be careful. Our order was prepared perfectly. Since we were on vacation, we could not take anything home with us, which was unfortunate - as the food was great. This location seemed a bit noisy, but this is a minor issue. We made our reservation thru open table and this worked fine. This is a great place for a nice dinner.


After getting in at 5:00am, I stumbled down to the cafe to grab something quick. I was sat down, Omar was my waiter and suggested the Lobster Eggs Benedict. I am so glad I took him up on his suggestion. My dish was the best breakfast I have ever eaten. Bomb.com!!!! So amazing!!!


Food is still good. However, the service sucks. We went there about one hour before closing. The waitress was trying to rush us out so that she could go clubbing.\n\nNot thinking about going back there unless it got a new waitress.


Pomegranate Cafe is okay.  I ordered one slice of pink cake, one blueberry cheesecake, and two lemonades.  The total was $26.  I checked the receipt to figure out what I ordered. I get that all the ingredients are fresh and local, but I was still shocked.  I expected the food to be amazing because it was so expensive.  It was okay not amazing. The lemonade was not that good.  It had a bitter and spicy note that threw me off.  The pink cake was a little soggy.  \n\nThe decor is weird.  I can see what they are trying to do, but it would create a nicer atmosphere if they would get rid of the florescent ceiling lights.  The staff is totally spaced out.  They remind me of the Cheba Hut employees before they became a national chain.


This place angers me a bit.  First of all, the happy hour is great.  3-6 & 10-2a daily they have half priced alcohol and apps.  That's a pretty phenominal deal.  The apps are pretty plain in their selection but for half off, who cares?  The beer selection is outstanding and they have rotating taps you should be sure to ask about if that's your thing.  \n\nThe pizza is good.  If you've never had Mellow pizza before it is definitely different that your standard pie.  Funky ingredients and chewy crust can make for a good meal.  Or it can be a $25 average pizza.  Unfortunately that's about what you'll pay.  Frankly it's just too much for pizza.  I don't mind dropping money on good food but when you consider the number of excellent pizza places in town it's hard to justify the prices here.\n\nThe part that really erks me though is the atmosphere.  It feels like a warehouse, the music is never at a good volume, and the service is slow.  I've eaten at Mellows all over the country and I have to say I enjoy this one the least.  That's a shame considering it's in my backyard.


Stayed there for a conference at ASU. It's very easy to get to from the airport (just take the bus to the light rail station and it's right across the street). And since the light rail station is right outside, it's really easy to get around town without a rental car. \n\nThe atmosphere is very modern and bright. There's a bar in the lobby, plus a place to buy things you might have forgotten to bring and food and snacks. I needed a sewing kit and to grab lunch there one day, so it was very convenient. \n\nThe rooms are a little smaller than I'm used to, but very well laid out so that it doesn't feel small. Big King size beds and a big flat screen tv on the wall. The shower is great, and has one of the large showerheads that points straight down. Very trendy and fun decor all around. \n\nI didn't get a chance to go in the pool, but it looked great with little cabanas, tables, and chairs all around it.


I realized my faux pas with the last review.  Downtown Phoenix is the black hole of convenient delivery pizza.  Yes, there is Pizzeria Bianco but I have yet to find the time, motivation, and dinner companions to accompany me on a 3 hour wait for pizza.\n\nSo, we usually order from Domino's.  Partially because their Brooklyn style is pretty good and partially because ordering reminds me of a blog that had me laughing/giggling/snorting for hours: http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000707.php.  I occasionally find ridiculous stuff way funnier than most people would, and the thought of beef nuggets without footing is making me laugh at this very moment.\n\n*wipes tears from eyes and takes a minute to calm down*\n\nSo the ordering is incredibly easy once I stop laughing about whether or not I want the toppings on the right or the left.  And they have the \"Pizza Tracker\" which tells you what stage your pizza is in and who is completing the task.  I have to say that Wade has done a damn fine job and I'm disappointed if we order on a night that he isn't working.  Not because other Domino's employees mess it up, we have just become fond of seeing his name.\n\nDomino's no longer has the policy of delivering in less than 30 minutes or your pizza is free, but they do come damn close.  Our pizza is almost always here in a half hour (another joy of the pizza tracker).\n\nMy only recommendation is to never order the baked dessert thingies; they always taste like garlic because they're made in the same oven.


Food was really good, view of market street from second floor was nice, however slow service (10 minutes waiting for the coffee to be made)


Sunday's are slow nights.  They only open half of the club.  Only two dancers are dancing at the same time.  One is on the main stage and the other is on the far top of another stage...meaning you have a harder time seeing her dance if you are drinking at the main bar.  Entry cost is $30 dollars.  Drinks are about 13-16 dollars per beer.  The waiteress are prettier than the dancers.  VIP Tables cost extra. VIP rooms cost even more.  Would I go there again...probably not.


Not only does this place contain too much chain restaurant look and feel it seems that they consistently overbook their upstairs space.  The first time I went it was for appetizers and drink specials.  40 minutes later the apps were finally set out and the drink specials were on domestics beers.  One glance at the apps sent us off in search of something else.  After the first visit I dubbed them Blackfinn, never intend to back again.\n\nHowever, another scheduled event unwillingly brought me  back.  The second visit pretty much rang true with the first visit.  That said, I'm more of the type to search out local, non-chain treasures that focus on quality and freshness over standardized menus.  Others prefer the consistency and predictability of some such menus.


Came here late at night.  Late menu looked decent.  Prices were decent.\n\nFood was mediocre.  My steak was very dry and tasteless.  I asked for medium it came out well done.  The fries were wonderful however.  The pulled pork benedict was just a bit weird.  It didn't really work.  \n\nThe service was nice, attentive, and the decor is nice.  There have to be better late night options in the Wynn than this place.  We were going to walk down the street, but were simply too lazy.  Probably should have just ordered room service.


Its pretentious, its often filled with the kind of people that I hate....but damn they are good at what they do!!!\n\nOn a sunny Tuesday afternoon my lady and I were in need of wine and nibbles. We thought Browns would be nice so sat and awaited service. 10 minutes past and nobody came so I popped in grabbed menus and the waitress said she would be along in a few minutes. 10 minutes passed....still no service.\n\nSo we toddled along to Tigerlilly ..sat down...within 30 seconds the hostess was greeting us..making us feel very welcome and giving us menus. For \u00a321 we got a \u00a328 bottle of wine and three little tapas dishes. Delightful and great value.\n\nAs it got chillier we opted to go inside, we were escorted to some nice seats and were well and truly looked after in every possible way.\n\nTop work Tigerlilly!!!


Can I give one star? What a disappointing experience at the spa. Absolutely awful customer service. No gratuity was authorized, let alone warranted, yet sure enough 20% was charged.  Our 80 minute massages were shortened to 60 as some kind of punishment for being 10 minutes early instead of 45 as is the supposed requirement. News to us! Never once were we informed of this \"requirement\" although multiple people in our party called multiple times to confirm our appointments. We were celebrating a birthday so it was intended to be an enjoyable experience - as generally spa days are. The birthday girl was shorted treatments by her masseuse who also happened to be the spa Operations Manager. Nice, huh?  When we complained we were offered glasses of champagne and a $25 spa gift certificate. Which of course is just laughable - what is $25 gonna do?  And the final act was a surprise $140 gratuity charge - charged after the fact!  We don't plan to ever spend another penny there and you'll be wise not to either.


Coming to Sardine for happy hour and their deliciously inexpensive bar menu has become a sporadic date night favorite of my boyfriend and I.  We have been in for a nice sit-down dinner before, but are somehow not has happily satisfied by our experience as we are sitting at the stainless steel bar being served by their talented bartenders.  \n\nFirst, the happy hour is from 4-6pm Tuesday through Friday.  $3 Stellas and house wine cannot be beat.  The oysters are also half price. For only about $1-2 per shot, it's a great deal.   If you miss happy hour, they still offer their house wine for a meager $20 a bottle (red or white) and it's decent for the price. \n\nThere are several dishes we tend to order on a regular basis.  Though the full menu is available at the bar, we always stick to the bar menu.   First, I must mention the mussels. The appetizer portion of this dish is enough, with the frites, to feed two mildly hungry adults.  They are served in a very hot cream sauce, infused with steamed fennel, tomato, and sprigs of thyme.  The frites are equally delicious.   I am a bit ashamed to admit this, but when the mussels have been eaten, and only the creamy broth remains, I dump the rest of the frites into the bowl and indulge in a little french fry soup.  Embrace the unhealthiness, it is totally worth it.\n\nThe Sardine burger is not to be missed (only offered on the bar menu).  Although a bit unusual, the toppings of onion jam, figs, and gorgonzola compliment the fatty beef patty perfectly.   As with all of their sandwiches, it comes with a large side salad and frites.  Again, just this plate of food and perhaps a small appetizer are more than enough to feed my boyfriend and I.  \n\nBottom line- stick to eating at the bar and ordering wisely.  The portions are huge on the bar menu, and the price is right for this otherwise fairly expensive Madison favorite.


Like any place on/ near State St., parking sucks.\n\nOther than that it is really nice.  I had a simple ham sandwich and (although they forget the sprouts) it was so good and fresh, the wheat bread was nice and soft and the pasta salad with feta was fantastic.  According to my friend, you should always try the special because it was the best, but I was very happy with my meal.\n\nMy buddy told me a quite sentimental story about getting in there underage, but as we are all old now, I can't vouch for that.


Dated, but nice.  Good Chicago hot dogs and they sell Old Style beer!  Can't beat that!


If you have been to some of the Asian buffets in AZ, and you've liked them, I'd say you must try Jasmine Tokyo. \n\nI'm 6'4\" and I get \"Do you play for the Cardinals?\" a lot, so I'm sure that when the proprietors see me darken the door of their establishment they're all like \"ohsh*t.\" Fear not, lil Asian lady, for I am not a glutton. I'm here for the seafood and the sushi and some green tea.\n\nAs far as the sushi selection goes, it beats anything AYCE in the Valley that I've seen. There were at least 20 types of rolls and it wasn't just surimi crab and tempura, either. The tuna and salmon and snapper nigiri were really good, too.\n\nIf you have room for some fried rice, this one is delicious and so are the Chinese sausages and grilled chicken. Even the raw oysters were good, and that has never happened to me in AZ before.\n\nService was pleasant, and from the way it's decorated, I'm guessing this was once a Claim Jumper. Anyhow, it's a huge restaurant with a huge selection of items and if you're a vegetarian, you will be in heaven here with more vegetarian offerings than I've ever seen at a buffet. \n\nSeaweed is a vegetable, isn't it?


Here for a speaking engagement so I thought I'd stay right in the center of the strip.  Glad I did.  The Miracle Mall is a gold mine with the ABC store a great source for liquor, toiletries and late night snacks.  A visit to Sin City Brewery is a must - try the Octoberfest!  Great staff there - thanks Joe!  The Blackjack dealers were friendly for the most part.  Unfortunately you will only find 6/5 payout on Blackjack if you are playing the $15 tables.  I moved to the $25 tables for real Blackjack.  Great food choices and the pool area is great to take in some sun.  Will return.\n\nPros:\nlocation\nstaff\nfood options\nmall\n\nCons:\nexpensive comparatively speaking\n6/5 Blackjack


New Years Eve here couldn't have been any worse here.  \n\nThe tickets we purchased indicated VIP, with passed apps and buffet early in the night (which I couldn't find), liquor was cheap and barely mixed into drinks (if you were even able to make it to the bar to order).\n\nWe arrived about 9:30pm with a group of 10, after standing in a line that wrapped around the upstairs on the Epiccenter.  They didn't even ID us when we walked into the covered area.  They sold way to many tickets and there was barely any STANDING ROOM.  The bathroom was disgusting and had a bunch of 21 year old girls falling all over themselves and getting sick.  Poorly executed and a definite waste of money. \n\nWe left by 10:00pm to find somewhere more enjoyable to spend NYE.\n\nWould not recommend going here and I will never be back.


It's a Starbucks....\n\nEach gate section has one on the secure side.  At some gates it is centered (like A) it is located at the split.  With the C gates it is only located in one section of the C gates.


Wow.\n\nSo-so Chinese food for twice the price.\n\nNo wonder, it's a chain restaurant. Hey, they sell their food in the frozen food department at the grocery store, too. It might be the same quality. That may or may not be sad depending on the consumer. Is it that good from the freezer? Do they just microwave one of those bad boys in the restaurant?\n\nThe prices might be worth it for dinner but lunch? Ha. Ha. Ha.\n\nYour pal,\nWalter


WELCOME HOME TO \"BIG BROTHER.\"  I have lived in numerous upscale apartment complexes over the years, and never had an issue.  However, living at Canyon Villa is like living under the microscope of management.  The management routinely contacts law enforcement and provides them with the names and apartment numbers of residents who have out-of-state license plates on their vehicles.  Read other reviews from other websites and you will see that I am not the only one complaining of this practice.  I was on a temporary assignment in Nevada and received a notice on my vehicle regarding my out-of-state license plates that had been reported to law enforcement by management. This resulted in time and expense of having to go through the court process to explain the temporary nature of my residency.  One morning, I placed my trash outside my door for a period of 50 minutes and took it out when I went to work.  When I returned home from work, a manager notice was on my door instructing me not to leave my trash by the front door.  That means someone would have had to observe trash in front of my door from 8:00am to 8:50am.  I agree that trash should not be on the front door, but it is very disconcerting to know that management took notice during a 50 minute time frame.  I am a responsible pet owner who always picks up pet waste.  Another day I came home from work only to find a manager notice on my door regarding pet waste, a notice for which I was singled out merely because I am a pet owner.  Another time, I had placed storage bins on my patio.  I received yet another manager notice on my door instructing me that storage bins cannot be placed on the patio.  It was not a pleasant feeling to come home wondering what sort of notice would be on my door.


I have in what this city is known as M-Power with SRP. This is the closest location most near to my home. I normally shop at Frys or Wal- Mart neighborhood market. My reason for not shopping at a store I go to regularly to purchase power???? LINES, Lines,and more Lines. With no self check out machines and 11 people standing in line on a regular day to day basis; I simply dont shop here anymore. \n  Considering the neighborhoods to the West, North, and East are mostly middle to upper middle class. I have no idea why this has such a high crime element hanging around. The panhandling and shoplifting are more common at this location than not.  One thing that may help is not having a dark parking lot. The Parking lot in front of the store is so dark. I will not come here after dark. I hope this review will come to the attention to some corporate big wig that can meet with the property management of this location and clean up the integrity of the Safeway Brand.


Really enjoyed my dining experience here. At first staff could not fit our party so they offered to set us all up outside and when a space opened up inside they were so kind to offer to move us all back inside! Lovely service by the host. Food was seasoned spectacularly and I enjoyed the cold tofu, edamame ( get the smoked sea salt) as well as the veggie skewers and a small order of avocado sushi (am a vegetarian). Beware- portions are small- you probably have to order 3-4 things or even 5-6 things if you are a guy. But the quality and taste are worth it.


Warning!  Bought the groupon for the Brazilian Blow Out....I have had this treatment done more than once.  There are Steps THAT HAVE to be done. The girls that did this treatment DID NOT do all the steps.  I also think that the product was not the same.  It may of been in the \"Brazilian Blow Out\" bottles...My hair did NOT take!  They also rushed and had me out of there in One Hour...SORRY but thats NOT how long it takes.  \nRIP OFF


SO simple! Most of the rental car companies are in this building and you only have tot take one shuttle from the airport to it. (However cramped the shuttle may be). It was especially nice when Thrifty ran out of cars and sent us over to Alamo, who had taken some of their reservations. Getting the car was fairly easy and the garage was clearly labeled. Returning the car was easy as well. \n\nGoing back to the airport, there are several different shuttle lines, depending on what airline you are flying. This was a bit confusing at first, but we didn't have to wait for it.


Excellent place to eat!  We were treated with such kindness on our visit! The wonder gave us a  coffee and baklava to eat after our meal.  I ate their combo plate as I couldn't decide what to have as it all looked delectable!\n\nThey make their pita's HOMEMADE along with the hummus!  Don't MISS OUT on passing by this deli!!!\n\nAlso a MUST try is the lemonade!!!  Why???  It is sweetened with honey and rose water!


This is a true culinary experience. The ambiance was carefully crafted and their attention to detail is remarkable. The dishes are extremely creative and thought-out. It's a great way to educate yourself on the plethora of preparations for any given dish. This is a restaurant to take your time at, so I wouldn't advise trying to squeeze in a show (although they accomodated our need to do so).  Also, this is one of those restaurants where the dishes are broken up into tiny portions so if this is an annoyance to you, don't bother going. Regardless, I didn't even have room for dessert at the end and I have a severe sweet tooth!


Five stars because I just had the best tacos (of this type) in my entire life at this place!\n\nYes, this is a fast food environment, yes they serve the food on paper plates, yes you bus your own table etc. etc. Who cares? Does everything have to be Durant's? The fact is, they do Mexican basics better than just about anyone. \n\nI had shredded beef tacos and a single chicken soft taco. Both were the best in their class I have had in my life--including those I've had on trips to Mexico. The hard shell is done in a similar style to what you would find at Filiberto's The soft taco, well, is was a soft taco, but made with Carolina's famous tortillas. Both were a perfect combination of spice, meat, and cheese, with the usual lettuce thrown on as an after thought. The salsa you get out of the little pumps by the soda fountain was also very good. \n\nHoused in an old Fazoli's or Pizza Hut or something, the atmosphere and appearance is similar to one of the newer Filiberto's, but the food sets it apart from the rest. \n\nOh, and it is cheap. \n\nLove it!


Went there around noon today and they were out of waffle batter. It's right there in your name folks. That was unbelievable.


We came here for Happy Hour Saturday night and had a great time. We sat next to a couple that had been coming for more than a decade, before it was at this location. \n\nThe huckleberry margarita for $5 was yummy. I had two! They also had quite a few $5 wines during HH, which we will have to try next time. For food we ordered the rotisserie flat bread and of course the chili verde pork which was sooooo good. I enjoyed ever bite I had with the buttery tortillas. It was a mistake ordering this as I have craved it several times since. \n\nThey have a large bar area and it seems most of the people who come here are regulars and so friendly. The complimentary beef jerky at the bar top is also good, but be warned it is dry. \n\nI can't wait to come back and have some more chili verde pork!


Green catered my anniversary party recently. I was happy that we were able to offer a vegetarian meal that my whole family could enjoy. I love to eat at the Tempe location whenever I'm in town visiting. \n\nA couple downsides for the event catering was that they provided the plates, and we quickly ran out during appetizers. Luckily my Dad was wiling to run out and grab some, but of course he brought back styrofoam instead of the compostable plates I would have preferred. But really he had no options on such short notice. \n\nThe other downside was that the sauces for the chicken wing and the salad were not labeled, so there was some confusion on our guests part as to what sauce went with what. \n\nBut overall, Green delivered a tasty meal.


Bland food. Serving wasn't well eg rice was cold, gyro wasn't well done, etc. kale wasnt well cut... not recommended.


went here for lunch with my boyfriend. we came on a friday so they had specials going on. its a really big place. they have peanuts on the table which is awesome and bad cause they are addicting! lol. we both got beer. i ordered a blue moon and like it should, came with and orange slice! my boyfriend got a hamburger and i got tacos. they were really good! i would definitely go back to this place!


I had a confirmed reservation but unfortunately made it (via Yelp) for Wednesday and had intended for Tuesday. When we walked in on Tuesday in March at 6pm there was only 1 table that was occupied by patrons (the place was empty) and the hostess was very rude...she said that she wasn't sure if she could accommodate the 4 of us. Screw her, we left and went to the Herb Box.


This place is garbage... It really is.... I am basing that mostly off of the price you pay and what you get in return.... For Vegas standards, the food quality is poor... It seemed like it was cafeteria style...\n\nSo here are the positives:\n\n1) We received 1000 points on opentable.....\n2) Busboys were helpful except that we had to fill out glasses with bottled water we brought with us\nHere are the negatives: \n1) Rude lady at the downstairs counter when you check in...... There is no point in being rude.... It isn't that hard to explain where the elevator is to go to the restaurant.... Sorry i haven't been here before...\n2) The website talks about a view but the curtains were down so you can't see outside... Garbage...\n3) Waiter: He was ok.... One of those guys that is trying to hustle for a tip.... It was obvious...\n4) Price: Rip off for what you get.... There is no point in paying that much money... None... They also screwed up the drink order...\n\nIt is just not for me........... I am curious if they get repeat business.......


Ok, so maybe I don't understand ice cream in north America but seriously... Some flavours should not be made into ice cream and now I know why. Some were ok, the others just horrible. And even if you stick to common flavours, they're just bleh. You wonder what type of dairy they use, then you remember what the milk tastes like here and you understand. I think I will stop having ice cream here period.


We ate at this restaurant two years ago. I thought it was one of the best Cajun restaurants outside of Louisiana.  \nWe returned tonight.  What a mistake!   This is a poor excuse for a restaurant, much less Cajun .  Service is SLOW!!!  Food is tasteless or over seasoned.  The soup was served lukewarm.  We can not understand why the health department hasn't shut this poor excuse for a restaurant down.\nDO NOT BOTHER TO EAT HERE!  It is a waste of money.  To top it off wait service is auto tip for 6!


Let me start by saying that I would never go back I went their for a trim and to get some color on my hair buy I left looking like the big bird from sesame street the girl that did my hair was so rude and she was just telling me that she was a really bad day ....I don't know but this place suck please don't even think about going to that place they did a horrible job ...


Oh for the days when the funny guy with the mustache was making the donuts fresh for us! I had an issue with this location limiting the menu selection on a prepaid discount offer, I contacted the corporate office and was reminded that their locations are all franchised. So, FYI there is a much better run franchise 1/2 mile west on Bell!


SWEET!!  Who could say no to a free upgrade to the grand deluxe suite?!!  It was like a 1 bedroom luxury apartment, minus a kitchen, replace it with a bar!  Corner bar with marble counter, stools and a flat screen too!  Also a little living room area with couches and another flat screen!  Next to that was an office area.  The room was cool too with a jacuzzi tub!  \n\nDidn't do too well at the BJ tables tho!


So my guy friend a 30 year old virgin got a few lap dances and spent a ton of money    ( he was oblivious). The girls can take advantage of the guys but hey thats their job. they had good music and the strippers were actually really pretty. Im not going to knock on their hustle if they are good at what they do more power to them. Cool place ladies free guys they charge $20 and maybe a complimentary limo ride. I had a great time. Only in VEGAS.


I just called the Rolfs Salon at Gainey Village, what happened to Delores Leiva? Something sounds weird, called to make an appointment, got transferred to Connie who said Rolf is taking over all of Delores clients for the next year. Delores was nothing but professional and always spoke very highly about the salon, she wouldn't have left.  Bad business decision Rolfs, you have lost a client and I'm certain i will not be the only one.


Harper's is like a more local version of TGIFridays or Applebees.  The food here is really delicious, and they offer a decent selection of typical appetizers, sandwiches, salads, and entrees (think spinach and artichoke dip, chicken sandwiches, and steaks).  While you will have a great meal, beware- the wait can be atrocious for lunch or dinner on any given day of the week, especially the weekends.


Just ok, we order the Cesar salad witch was soaked in dressing and had no croutons at all. Then I had the shrimp fajita ( no salsa, no Guac and no sour cream :/ whaawhaa I did love the decor tho!


I have been going here since I was a little kid. The food had always been consistent and delicious. Even if I haven't been there in a while, the waitress always recognizes me and knows my order. BEST WONTON SOUP EVER!


Terrible service. Old burger, to go with my old fries. They have two drive thru lanes. Cashier at window didn't know what I ordered. Paid then drove to window 2. The idiot behind the window opens window. Doesn't say a word and stares at me with a disgusting look, expecting me to tell him what I ordered. I ask for ketchup, he rolls his eyes(now I'm really killing him by asking him to actually I'd his job) \n\nYes you've set the bar so low you can only see your butt holes McD workers! \nNo wonder Chick Filet is kicking your butt. And no your lame spicy chicken can't compete. It's as bad as the service here.


Its open late and always hits the spot.  Fries in a paper bag and gyron to go with lots of white sauce on the side.  I've eaten here when not totally drunk and the food is good.  The greek salad and gyros are always a safe bet.


Been to this place a few times over the last 2 years and it was pretty decent up until recently when I ordered the Beef Caldereta and the meat was spoiled.. And the wife got the bisteak that also tasted old and spoiled.. Very disappointed.


Hachi isn't a hopping happy hour joint like nearby Yardhouse but they have good deals like $3 Sapporo and $6 sake-tinis. A lot of food items are under $8 and you have to try their bbq baby back ribs. Sweet, saucy and to die for. Unfortunately, my order came in literally an hour later and I had to bug the bartender a few times to see what's up. Baby needs her ribs. Ergo, Hachi gets bumped down to a mere 3 stars for service lacking.


My personal meal deserves no stars, but since my co-workers all seemed to like their meals, and I will probably go again and try something else, I gave it two stars.\n\nMostly, the reason I felt compelled to add a review was as a warning.  Rubmi's take on tortilla soup is disgusting.  I gave it enough of a chance to try all the parts; the salty coconut broth, the fatty chicken and the clumpy mozzarella.  I honestly can't believe they put it on the menu because from construction to execution it is just awful.  The mozzarella clumps up so it is basically a blob of melted semi-warm cheese at the bottom.  Inedible.  The flavor of the broth made my stomach turn after a couple bites and it made its way to the trash can fast.  I don't remember the last time I would've asked for refund someplace, I usually just accept if I don't like something it is a matter of preference.  I would have taken it back and asked for a refund, probably asked them to try it and tell me it wasn't \"off\" today.  Unfortunately, we carried out and I lost that opportunuity :(    \n\nIf this place is as good as everyone else says, definitely do not bother with this crap in a cup.  Even on a cold day, even in a blizzard, do not order the soup.


Really bad for a pub and grill...Gordon should be careful of where his name goes... he needs to visit this place and kick someones rear.....appetizers were good (salmon and scotch egg) . The main course was we'll...the Christmas holiday prime rib meal....only prime was cost for a bad cut of meat (fatty and bad) the Yorkshire pudding tasted like...well nothing, just like dough...the only good thing was the cold beer....wish I would have spent my $100.00 elsewhere on a good meal... just have an appetizer and a beer.....


This place is the main setting of one of the most miserable nights of my life that didn't involve someone dying or me throwing up on my date or something.  Anyway, I'll spare those details and just focus on what a terrible experience this restaurant was.  To begin let me state in the interest of full disclosure that I live in Dallas.  This affords me the opportunity to eat some damn fine Tex-Mex, but it does not make me a Mexican snob.  I'm every bit as comfortable eating at a chain in my native St. Louis as I am at some of the better places I have found in Dallas or anywhere else.  All I ask is that it is good.  Frank and Lupe's is not good.  The people in my party wanted Mexican and several people affiliated with our hotel recommended Frank and Lupe's as the \"BEST MEXICAN IN TOWN!!\"  I see that in some of the reviews here, too.  Either these people are getting kick backs or Scottsdale has a seriously terrible Mexican restaurant scene.\n\nFirst off, upon our arrival we were quoted a wait time of 35 minutes inside and an hour on the patio.  Ok, guess we're eating inside, no problem.  Unfortunately, 35 minutes turned into nearly an hour to sit in the hot, cramped dining area.  We would have been much better off waiting for the patio and taking our chances.  There are few restaurant sins bigger than undershooting the wait time by almost half.  Off by 5 or 10 minutes?  Still crappy but it happens.  20+ minutes?  No excuse.  This highlights another problem with this place.  It is tiny.  There is no place to wait.  I guess we could have squeezed into the over-full patio and hoped for the best, but otherwise you're standing out on the street on a tiny crowded sidewalk with all the other unfortunate souls about to be subjected to the horrors that are apparently \"the best Mexican in town\".\n\nAs you can imagine, after waiting an hour for a table, our party was starving.  Luckily we were at a Mexican place, so we knew we were getting chips and salsa, so we waited...and waited...and waited and finally we hounded the hostess after 10 minutes of sitting there with nothing on the table.  Then we got the \"chips\" which were actually more like some thick bastard offspring of a chip and a taco bell chalupa shell.  Did I mention they were cold, too?  Warm chips can hide a magnitude of crimes, but not at Frank and Lupe's.  And the salsa was some watery, runny mess.  Yuck.  And what's that I see on the menu?  $2 for more chips?  Luckily the chips were terrible and they would have had to pay me $2 to take more of them, but seriously?  No one I have mentioned this to since has ever seen a charge for chips at a Mexican restaurant.  Was I reading this wrong?  Is this only if I don't order anything besides chips?  Surely it was, right?\n\nMoving on...after another good 10 minutes our waiter finally came around for our orders.  I ordered a number 6. I was presented a choice of a green or red sauce.  Being from out of town I asked for the waiter's opinion.  He told me he would get the red but \"its a little spicy.\"  This is important because it was the exaggeration of the century.  Before the meal came out I had finished my first diet coke.  Of course I did because it was like 30 minutes between getting the diet coke and getting the food.  Anyway, I specifically waited for another diet coke before I started the \"little spicy\" meal.  Then I dig in and I eat...and I eat...and I eat.   In fact, I finished the entire entree before I even felt a hint of spice in my mouth, and even then it wasn't much more robust than Medium Pace picante sauce.  Huge disappointment.  To tell the truth, the whole meal was bland.  There was basically no flavor even under the \"little spicy\" (emphasis on little, I guess) sauce and the rice was  apparently just plain rice with a little shredded cheese melted onto it.  So, we finished our meal, all massively disappointed, and then it was another 10 minutes until we could get the check and then after that we had to flag down another hostess to actually pay the check because our waiter was MIA.  You might say it was because they were busy, but we didn't start eating until almost 8 and by the time we were done closer to 9, the restaurant was at least half empty.\n\nThe biggest disappointment for me is how many interesting sounding places I passed by walking to this place.  Unfortunately, my party wanted Mexican and the hotel suggested this dump.  I had one meal out on the town in Scottsdale, on an expense account to boot, and I wasted it on this utterly forgettable hole in the wall disaster.  In fact, I take that back.  I will never forget Frank and Lupe's.  It goes on the Wall of Shame.  Learn from my error, fellow Yelpers.


They carry the best products.  Their staff is like one big family and getting your hair or nails done is like a social event.  They are reasonably priced, in a great location, clean, friendly and accommodating!  If you're looking for a new salon call them and they will have the stylist you're looking for.


Time for an update, and I'm taking away a star for one reason. The food has remained delicious and the lunch specials are priced right (the lamb vindaloo I had there on 4th July was awesome), but there's something that pissed me right off when I ordered takeout recently. Portion size. It's $9-$11 dollars for an 8-oz container of food, depending on what you get. Get three different containers along with rice and a naan and you're almost at $40. That's WAY too expensive, no matter how tasty the food is. I know how to make this stuff (technically, although I have problems achieving the flavour) and I know what the ingredients cost. They're making money hand-over-dot at this place and the final issue I have is that my 8-oz container of chicken makhani was less than half chicken and the rest sauce. See my Tandoori Village review for more information on this. They need to knock their prices WAY down. I want a take-out meal for two and I want it to be under thirty bucks. When I can get three pounds of Chinese food for under $20 (see my review of Chen & Wok in Surprise), paying double that for less food doesn't strike me as a particularly good deal. Don't anyone make the mistake that this place is haute cuisine either. It ain't Gaylords. Not by a long shot. And Gaylords is pretty far from haute cuisine itself.


Stayed here for 1 night and the room was really nice. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was a nice size. My only complaint was that there was no outlet by the nightstand to charge my phone.


About a month ago, a few girlfriends and I stayed at the Venetian hotel. Initially this was going to be a more glamorous trip for us because the Venetian is a little pricier than most but it had beautiful rooms so we were excited.\n\nAfter our first night in Vegas, we woke up and were getting to go to breakast when we realized that every single one of us that had money in the room, in our wallets or suitcases that didn't travel out of the room with us was GONE. As each of us checked our things we discovered almost $1,000 had been stolen (including the girl who only had a dollar bill in her suitcase) and 2 sets of speaker systems. On top of that this thief decided to open our mini fridge as well and take several drinks that we would later be charged for. \n\nImmediately proceeding this discovery we contacted the hotels loss prevention center. They came up to our room to take a report from us. Initially they seemed like they were generally concerned and wanted to help us in any way possible, but told us we would not be contacted for 2-3 business days (after we would be leaving Vegas) with the results of our claim.\n\nUpon hearing back from the hotel they told us that indeed our hotel had been entered during a time in the evening when we were gone. So my question to them was, how can you fix this situation? Their answer: we can do anything about it . I realize that there is a safe in the room that you can put your things into, like the hotel suggested, but no one comes to a 5 star hotel, like the Venetian and expects to be burglarized! \n\nI am so frustrated and let down by the way things were handled by the Venetian. After all of this was said and done and I continued to ask what the Venetian could do to better my loss of $300 worth of property, they continuously shook my calls off, left me hanging and would not help me. \n\nNEVER stay at this hotel if you bring nice things with you and leave them in the room apparently it is acceptable to be burglarized and have it shrugged off. I am very disappointed in the loss prevention program and safety of the rooms.  The Venetian, from my perspective is at fault for my losses incurred and I expected much better customer satisfaction.


It looks like a Starbucks. It tastes like a Starbucks. But don't let it fool you... It's not a real Starbucks. It's a license store operated by Target. There are subtle differences that most people won't notice or care about. Like they won't honor certain promos from Starbucks corporate and they use Target brand Market Pantry milk. But the location is super convenient if you need a little pick me up before hitting Target's aisles.\n\nThe drinks are usually good but service can be hit it miss. Sometimes the employees are really friendly and other times they are pretty frazzled and short. Overall, it's a-ok in my book.


Absolutely THE worst!  This place won \"Best of Madison\" for Chinese food for how many years??? The judge must have been completely stoned out of his mind! \nCustomer service:  Very poor.  The server never checked back until I went looking for her, wondering where our order was 50 minutes after ordering. \nFood finally arrived for our group of four--STONE COLD!  Plates themselves were hot but practically frostbite on the food.  Couldn't eat it. \nManager came by, apologized and took 50% off the bill (!!!). Should have been 100% comped. \nI'm one of those folks who normally overlooks a lot and actually hates to complain, but this culinary travesty really needed to be reported.  If this place previously had great food and service, then as of 2014 they've completely lost their \"mojo\".


LOVE.\nPure deliciousness. What a treat!\nWe were with a huge group so I think we ordered everything on the menu and everything was incredible. There was nothing I didn't like. What stands out a week later is... the artichoke on crustini, burrata-tomato-lettuce thing, meatballs, and the steak skewers. But really everything was great. Also the SANGRIA is amazing. We were very happy. They also didn't seem to mind that one of our friends was beyond drunk as we all laughed hysterically. Very fun night. \n\nSo sad there's not one in California. \nBoo.


This place has some potential but has a lot of kinks to work out in order to avoid frustrating the customers. \n\nPros: The bowling lanes are very cool! They take photos of the bowlers and put them alongside your name on the screen that shows the scores. And they superimpose the faces from your team onto various cartoons during the game. My kids thought this was HILARIOUS. \n\nMy kids also loved the interactive video playing on the floor outside the bowling area. I watched jumping on pretend bugs, toppling pretend bowling pins, etc for a long time. They all seemed to love it. \n\nCons: I was able to watch the interactive video area because I waited nearly an HOUR to be helped at the dining table in the bowling area. I think I would *still* be there if I hadn't sought out a server myself. And there was a cluster of people near the entrance to the bowling area, which was annoying and made it hard to get in and out. I don't know if they were waiting for a lane, or just socializing there bc they had friends playing in the nearby lane, or what?? But the staff should have relocated them and cleared the flow of people in that area. \n\nAlso the process of buying a ticket for the gravity ropes course was very confusing. We waited in one line, then were told to move to the other line, which meant we had to go to the back of that line and start the wait all over. The bottleneck also blocked the entrance to the shop. \n\nLet people buy laser tag & ropes course tickets at the kiosks instead! And make sure the staff doesn't ignore people waiting to be served. \n\nAlso the nachos were terrible. They were served without salsa (?) and so once you got the few toppings off the top layer, you were left with a stack of chips and nothing to eat them with. The pizza was very good.


Was recently in town on business and stopped by for lunch. Pad See Ewe Shrimp. It was amazing !!! Good portion size as well.  I liked the food so much I went back the next day and tried the Pad Thai - equally as good !!  I will definitely come back here on my next trip.


I must admit that not being from Pittsburgh, I walked into this place with very different expectations for what a \"cheesesteak\" sandwich constituted. Having said that, while the inclusion of an enormous amount of fries and coleslaw on the sandwich was great, the tiny piece of beef \"patty\" that can only be described as something they use as a weight watchers/jenny craig portion leaves much to be desired. I honestly felt like I was eating some sort of vegetarian sandwich with a tiny piece of shriveled up beef patty lost somewhere in between the enormous slices of Italian bread.\n\nOn the plus side, the Oakland location does have a pretty sweet deal for after 10pm, where a sandwich and drink was 3 or 4 bucks.


I had tried this place before for lunch and thought it was just OK.  I've since tried the brunch and, let me tell you, that's where it's at!  Oh my goodness, so delicious!  We sometimes plan our whole trip around making it to that weekend brunch.  It's outstanding!  Our favorites are the Steak & Eggs, Chilaquiles, and Coconut and French Toast.  Skip the shrimp BLT--pretty strange.


The place is a little dirty, but it has awesome decor and vibe. Very hippie. :)\nCan be a little slow sometimes, but they make your sandwich there, always get it right, and it's always tasty.\nKool-aid fountain is amazing. Perfect.\nTasty munchies when they are fresh, otherwise stale.\nStaff could be more personable for the vibe, but they are all kind. \nThe white widow is where it's at.


casual. loud. ghetto. creeps and cheap half naked Butter-faces (everything is good but her face!!). \n\new never again.


I should clarify that when I said there are what seems to be a lot of patrons who are underage, it is not the fault of the bar or their bouncers, at least from what I can tell.  They ID everyone.  I've been ID'd every time I've come here (as have my friends), and I don't look under 21.  I've also stood near the door and seen the bouncers check everyone.  Those who are underage would be getting in with fake IDs.  Just an update to make sure that part of my prior review didn't sound like I was importing fault on to the establishment for that.


I came here for their friends and family event, and while I typically wouldn't write about it since it was virtually gratis and it is their start-up week, I didn't even see potential in this place (I went to Bourbon Steakhouse for a similar type of gratis event, and it fucking rocked... I refuse to review them yet because I know I'll be back when they will actually be in operation). As a matter of fact, the only recurring thought I could muster during the entire meal (which, mind you, lasted just under 3 hours) was:\n\nWhat the hell?\n\nFirst bad experience here: sitting on the toilet, as a 5'9\" woman, my feet were dangling. Bizarre. And the stalls are very looney-bin-esque... sterling silver from top to bottom with no obvious ventilation or way out if someone locks you in (yes, paranoid is the word you're searching for). \n\nSecond: The chairs are beyond uncomfortable, but wouldn't be so awful if I hadn't had to endure such a long-lasting meal (note to restaurants: this long-lasting concept? Good for relationships and, like, gum. Not so much for supper).\n\nThird: I've had better food at pretty much anywhere that charges even a fraction of what this place does. It was kind of outrageous, but I didn't begin a violent rampage because, as mentioned, they were buying.\n\nFour: Our wait time in between dishes averaged at about 15 minutes from picking up the dirty plates to dropping new ones. This isn't accounting for how long it took for them to clear our table, despite the 9842759873 servers, bussers, sommeliers, and bartenders milling around (I'm not even counting the armada of hostesses). \n\nI can see many a Scottsdale douchebag or Eurotrash enjoying this place, but it's probably because (pardon me for being caustic) they haven't recovered their taste buds from last night's coke binge.\n\nSidenote: Our server was awesome. That said, he'll probably find something better very shortly.


Great place, if you live in the area and plan to go alot,a.season pass is a good investment, considering a one time ticket is like $28.00. A all year pass for an adult is $100.00 and for kids $50.00. We love going there! the god is expensive so I always pack snacks and water. (they say ur not supossed to) but I always have! Bring change to feed the giraffes ,koi, ducks, and fish!


La Belle Terre was a show stopper! I met up with an old friend here about a month ago and it was the perfect place for catch up. \n\nWe got ourselves seated by the cashier, impressed by the caf\u00e9's authenticity. Ooh la la. Having learnt about the French culture throughout high school, I have to admit that it felt like I was transported all the way to France. The staff even had an accent to go with the great smelling pastries!\n\nI decided to order a florentine croque monsieur. It was dense and savory, definitely belying its size. Don't be so quick to judge how small it is. Le croque monsieur - which came with a plate of sliced baguette and butter - were very filling. I didn't even have room to order a drink to go with em'! \n\nThis gem is the creme de la creme of Vegas caf\u00e9s. Find it on the corner of sahara and Durango where Paymons patio dining can be found. C'etait fantastique!


It seems like they don't clean their rooms.  A friend of mine stayed here and saw the conditions of their room, I'm like... can we pre-game in mine? lol!\n\nGet a remodel like T.I. did!  \n\nThe only reason why you even get a star is because I have to... and you have Hash House A go Go.


Ive been in vegas for 23 years and belonged to the Q club, 24 hour, and LVAC.  City Athletic club is by far the dirtiest most unhealthy gym I've EVER been in. Where should I start? Ive NEVER seen anyone wiping down the equipment. To my knowledge the employees DO NOT sanitize the equipment. there is always something out of order , whether its the water fountains which are made for 2 feet tall people or the steam room which they finally put a sign up saying it will be reopened on 4-24 after who knows how long its been broken. The small cardio area is gross and doesn't have the nice built in tvs that EVERY other gym in town has now!! For all they charge for membership you would think they could get the best equipment. No wifi is just another disappoint in the long list of shortcomings at City Athletic Club. The mens locker room is really gross, and just 1 little bench in the regular locker room. They don't even have paper towels to dry your hands after washing them. Ive got to say don't waste your time or money on this dirty little hole in the wall.


Solid, huge hotel.  Our room was in the updated \"west wing,\" which gets you modern-styled amenities and a small, porthole-like window.\n\nLots of dining and lounging choices, with a massive casino and sports book to boot.  There's not much to dislike here, a genuine Vegas Strip experience.  Very convenient, obviously, if you're in town for an event at the arena.


Great layout.  It almost seemed like their bar had different venues.  Great food & selection of beers too.\n\nI was amazed how awesome the service was.  We went on a really busy night.


Parking SUCKS.\nEverything is over priced. \n\nIt took me 25 minutes to get a cup of coffee, and I wouldn't have minded the wait if someone had acknowledged my presence and given the polite \"I'll be with you as soon as possible\" report. Clearly, that was too much to ask for.\n\nBut if you happen to go when it's not busy (i'm not sure when this is...) I'm fairly certain the ambiance would be delightful. It's an interesting concept. Also, the spaces are WAY too tight for the type of traffic they have in there.\n\nThe gelato on the South side of the building is really bland and boring. I'd rather eat store brand ice cream. Their Pizza is really awesome, though.\n\nGreat idea - mediocre execution.


Ok its not a fancy palm springs scottsdale santa monica spa, but hell it does the trick. They always take same day appointments and they do the trick.. The staff is nice and dont make you uncomfortable ... Its ashame it has a negative review .. It's not your total spa experience but still, its not dingy or dark .. and its not in a creepy strip mall, its right next to the chipotle, the property is still new and good shape... Anyhow I was relaxed after my massage. I love that they are open late, and they are 49 bucks plus tip....


Breakdown of Broadway Pizzeria: \n\nFOOD: \nBroadway Special (Pepperoni, Green Peppers, Mushrooms, Sausage, Meatballs - omitted the olives and onions) - The pizza wasnt bad but it wasnt authentic NYC Pizza.  The crust could have been been a little bit more crisp but I think what it really was the topping.  It need that cheesey gooey-ness that normally eat when you take a bit and have that cheese string still connected to the slice... and that didnt happen.\n\nSERVICE:\nThe staff was really friendly and always made a point to check with us to make sure we had everything we needed.  I did think it was odd that each table had the pizza stand but when we got our pizza they didnt use it - they used instead the folding tray stand which made it awkward for the third person in our group to get the food since it was furthest from him.


To sum it up: I sat down where President Bush sat. The food was as awful as his tenure as president. Loved the ambiance though.


I ordered the Athena pizza and I was very disappointed.  There was so much oil on the pizza.  The crust was soggy.


We stay here but the bathroom door lock was broken.  The room was nice the hotel was big.  Alot of stuff to see but our view wasn't great because we were looking at the back side of the Hotel all we to check out was the room and parking.  We should of  ask for a view.


Great selection and wonderful staff.  They're always happy to go way beyond the call-of-duty to look for something you are requesting, and if possible, special order it and stock it for you - fantastic.  Four stars because I still have to shop elsewhere for fresh food and some strange herbs / extracts.  Would put 4.5 if I could :).


Nothing special, really.  The prices were great, especially the $5 Sake Bomber special.  But overall, the food was just not sexy at all.


meh is the perfect way to express how I feel about this restaurant. I've been here a whole bunch of times because I had a friend who LOVED it here. Everytime I've gone, I've never been very impressed with their food. Very average Italian food. not very original, nor particularly delicious. Not somewhere I would suggest, especially since there are far superior places in the same neighborhood.


Ok coffee. But very nice looking place. Not bad for a good relax combo with a friend or colleague


stopped in about a week ago on a Sat night but didn't stay long.  The music didn't fit the ambience.  It would fit a sports bar better.  I expected to hear some music you could have a conversation while eating.  They sat us in the back as far away as possible but it was still too loud.  This atmosphere would do better with maybe a piano player, soft jazz, etc.  Will not go back there again.  If you are looking for a wine bar then this is not it.


Will not be back. Had two champagne cocktails which were very mediocre. The type of champagne wasn't even listed on the menu - cant imagine it was anything worthwhile. What tipped me off at first to the atmosphere was the carpetted steps going to the bar. More carpet at the space at the front of the bar. Moving in, the group of 5 I was with found ourselves standing in the middle of what may possibly been intended as a dance floor - this was at aboun10 pm - but no one was dancing. So it was awkward. There were no tables to set your drinks on. But all that aside - I would have been ok with the place except for this - the worst part - the crowd. 35+ bridge and tunnel, may have money. No. Class. Very sleazy looking men and women who think they're attractive but are not. At all.  Just such awful clientele.


Nice Location.  Utterly forgettable food.  Insanely slow service.  The place was slow and the waiters just could not have cared less about our group.  Sort of unreal.


This has been our favorite neighborhood place for almost 8 years. It is well priced, always good Mexican food.  The staff is friendly, it's not very big or fancy but we've never had a problem with seating and the service is fast so they turn over tables quickly.  Definitely recommend.  We go every few months and have always liked whatever we have... recommend going next door to La Flor De Michoacan for dessert after or stopping by the connected bakery for a sweet treat.  We often go there for donuts on the weekend.


Maybe it was a bad night, but after reading the reviews I expected more.  It was quite uneventful.  Walked-in and there was bunch of people in a group.  Not sure what kind of group, but without them the place was dead...Zzzzzzz.  Oh I'm still writing this review!  They have pretty good prices for food, but maybe there's a reason.  To my chagrin it was basic burger and fries with some lettuce and Thousand Island dressing.  Yawn!!! Okay those people left it's just me and my friend now -- crap!  I'm too young to shut this place down!  Service was good, but serving 2 people isn't really that hard.  The cool thing about the place of course is the moose head.  Not much of a hunter, but I can appreciate it.  Matter of fact next time I will become a hunter and search for a more happening place. - Enjoy!


At the DBG's for the first time ever a couple of months ago to check out the venue for my daughter's wedding. From the very beginning, Amber that young lady who worked with us was professional, on the ball and organized...far more than I can say about the wedding planner. I believe she must be the park's event coordinator and totally rocked it. \n\nThe place is truly beautiful, so different from what a \"traditional\" garden looks like. Read the other reviews and the other folks will give you a much better idea of the type of plants, bugs, small animals, or as my granddaughter loudly proclaimed \" the birds with the hats!\" \n\nThere were four other wedding going on the afternoon (4/29/11) but we never really heard much except for some far away music. Signs were clearly posted leading the way to the wedding site *and the rehearsal the night before) and the restrooms were exceptionally clean and pleasant to use. \n\nThere was a very large room with shuttered windows and AC where my daughter and her wedding party dressed and a smaller, similar room where the groom and his group readied themselves. After the wedding, as the chairs and such were put away, the entire group came back to the same area which is a small courtyard and had a cocktail hour. \n\nMy daughter and her husband were married in the far back arena where they have the outdoor concerts and therein lies the only reason this wonderful place does not get five stars. \n\nIf you have your wedding at this particular site, park your car in the dirt lot that is adjacent to the unloading area. It is the first right as you come into the park and has a sign posted that reads \"Service area only.\" I understand that during the afternoon the park may want you to stroll leisurely through the park enjoying the natural beauty of the place but at the end of a very long day, it would've been so much better to park in back and take a 5 min. walk as opposed to an agonizing 15 min. stroll. \nIt was incredibly hard for some of the older folks in the group making their way back to the cars and by the time the wedding ended, it was late and the only rangers we saw were on our way out. \n\nIt was also very dark there and the lights on the canopy over the wedding table did not come on for a long time but eventually they did and it was truly breathtaking (you may want to have someone be the on the watch for this so the wedding party doesn't eat in the dark.) Lovely place to have a party or wedding, parking not so great. \n\nThank you DBG for making my daughter's wedding so very memorable!


So I've only been living in North Scottsdale since November on the *other* side of Scottsdale Rd. for most of my life. Getting fed up with my nails chipping after a few days of being painted I recently decided I would start getting regular manicures so my nails always looked superb. I live at Thompson Peak Pkwy and FLW so I have plenty of nail salons to choose from but on Saturday picked Paulene's Nails because it was on my way to running errands. I got in and was seated right away. For the most part, my experience wasn't half bad until the nail tech asked me if I was pregnant (either for lack of conversation or just to be rude because I have never been asked this in my life) to which I just kind of got a sour experience from there on out. She criticized my choice in color (black on Valentine's Day) and was asking questions about my boyfriend and I that were frankly none of her business. She was chattier than any other tech I've ever had. She ended up slightly injuring one of my nails from filing them down or perhaps cleaning them.   It's just a small cut that has practically healed but not something I should be receiving when I get my nails done.  A simple manicure cost $15 (not terrible) but they wanted $38 for a mani AND a pedi which is WAY too much in my opinion.\n\nNeedless to say I will be looking elsewhere for my manicure next time.


I go here to get my dog food and dog utilities. Staff is nice, if you run into them they will help. The store is always clean!


How in the world does this place not have at least 4 stars. I have yet to find a better tasting burger in the valley. Yes it's a little expensive $25 for two people, but it's great to go every once in a while. Every order is to-go. They give you a drink cup full of frys and drastically overflow your cup so that the whole bottom of the bag is basically frys. A little greasy, buy delicious if you like a little grease in your food. In-N-Out is walking distance from my house, but when I have a burger craving I always go to five guys.\n\nGet Cajun seasoning on the frys\nToppings are free\nSoooo many frys! :D\nMmmm..\n\nGo get a burger already!


I don't know if it's the best Carne Asada in town.  But it's darn tasty... flank steak assertively marinated and grilled, with a nice char on the outside.  The char sets good carne asada apart from the rest.  Loved the agua fresca offerings.... I got the jamaica and dining partner ordered tamarindo.  both tangy and refreshing.  however we take major points off for the chips/salsa.  it's a side dish for $1.50, with a fairly good sized basket of chips but a tiny little dribble of salsa.  we got more for another $1.50 and still felt ripped off.  I mean c'mon, kids, you can make gallons of the stuff for a small amount of dinero, you're shamelessly overcharging for it.  We will probably go back to try the Vampiro and the Pastor, but I'd gladly give more than 3 stars if you weren't so parsimonious with salsa, a Mexican restaurant staple.


A tiny, hidden museum tucked inside a coffee shop/art collective in the hip, cool area of downtown? Sounds intriguing? Let me tell you, it is. I came across this place when I was just trying to walk off my lunch. I saw a sign and could not resist the pull to walk in. I have a bit of an obsession with the glamour of old burlesque and have read an inordinate amount of information about Gypsy Rose Lee. This was like visiting a holy place I didn't even know existed. \nI chatted for a few minutes with the front counter woman. She was super nice, friendly and had lots to say about the museum. It consists of a few pictures and some costumes, letters and playbills. Per the young lady, they rotate their displays fairly constantly due to the space restrictions. Its only about the size of one room. \nThis stop was worth it just for the great conversation. This lady was so knowledgeable about not just burlesque but about Las Vegas. I really wish I would've taken her name. She deserves a shout-out. She gave me directions back  to the bus stop and even went through her entire t-shirt stock to find me a size small. I took home a light pink Blaze Starr top. It'll be great for the gym \nIf you have even a slight interest in burlesque, this is a great place to spend a few minutes.


Bought a Groupon (boudoir session) and although I read some sketchy reviews online, I decided to try it out anyway. Most of the complaints surrounded the cost to own prints/digital images which I must agree with as I walked out $400 poorer than when I walked in. The entire makeover + session takes about 3 hours. I was there for an additional hour decided on what prints to purchase. \n\nAs for the hair/makeup, the artist was very nice but made me look a little too \"drag queen-esque\" with the dark eyebrows, dark lipliner and dark eyeshadow. I made the mistake of not giving her much guidance on what I wanted but eventually asked her to change a few things when I saw the final result. The photographer was super friendly and a gentleman. He has clearly done it a time or 2 so he makes you feel very comfortable and explains everything as he's going.\n\nAfter the session and 20 minutes of waiting, the receptionist shows you a slideshow of all images plus a few that are retouched. You then go through the show and decide \"yes,\" \"no,\" and \"maybe\" on all images (I let them know upfront that I did not want any prints from them as I would not be displaying these on my mantel or any wall in my home). Based on how many \"yes's\" and \"maybes\" they create a package for you that comes out to $600-1000 for just the digital images (that's if you narrowed it down to 15 images max-probably even more if you can't decide). The packages are at a discount when taking into considering that each digital image is $140 a la carte--but still very expensive.\n\nI knew I only wanted a few as I would not be printing a collage of myself so I went with a slightly discounted package of 4 images, the entire slideshow and a calendar = $399 + tax. Out the door it was about $440 which you can split into 2 payments. Don't get me wrong--the images are great because the photographer does an amazing job and the retouching is excellent. It's also part of a wedding gift so I can justify it. However, I am kicking myself a little for not buying him an engraved iPad instead...


Drive thru and fast turnaround are nice but not for the rip-off price of almost $8 per garment. Especially since they don't replace buttons they cracked!


Little Darlings is 100% nude, hence. no alcohol was served.  It's a little off the Vegas strip but not hard to find.  If you want an awesome VEGAS strip club experience, this is not the place.  It was dingy and cheap looking.  I felt kind of dirty stepping inside.  The girls were not in their perfect form.  Some of them were old and out of shape (to put it nicely).  If that's what I wanted to look at, I could have stayed home and looked in the mirror.  We were club hopping so this was just another place for us to check out.  We only stayed less than 1 hour and skipped to Cheetah's afterward.  I would say to skip it totally.


Scramble indeed. Scramble away from this place and into your neighborhood IHOP or Village Inn...at least you'll pay less for equally dismal food. I expected so much more from a new neighborhood place, especially one that's gotten some good reviews and publicity. First of all, I like the system of ordering at the counter for casual lunch and dinner places, but there's something about breakfast that it's ill-suited for. Breakfast is just a full service kind of meal, at least to me. The decor/design is certainly nice and modern, but I wish the food matched. With the exception of their \"brizzas\" (breakfast pizzas), their menu items are the kinds of basic things you'd find at any chain (actually, there's less selection than many chains). We tried the pancakes (we asked for 2 buttermilk and one multigrain) with carmelized bananas. They brought out the pancakes first and then said the bananas would just be a couple minutes. When they finally brought it out, it was one banana halved and carmelized, for three large pancakes - terrible presentation. The pancakes themselves were no better than IHOP. The eggs benedict was equally disappointing - they were served in an ocean of hollandaise sauce, the ham was a tad too salty, and the english muffins were soggy. Originally, I thought of trying one of the \"brizzas\" since they're unique to this place, but I'm glad I didn't. The woman next to me was eating one - it was basically eggs and cheese on a raw-looking flat dough. She didn't appear to be enjoying it at all, picking the eggs off and leaving the dough. I guess I'll be sticking to The Breakfast Club when I do breakfast out.


We had as best experience as you can when you are in an emergency situation with your pet.\n\nOur dog had been neutered on a Monday in December at a vets office, he had a retracted testical, so there was more surgery invovled then the normal neutering. I stayed home monday with him, the hubs stayed home tuesday with him. We had a cone on his head...Thursday we came home from work to find he had manuvered around the cone and had licked his stitches OPEN...it was bad. The vet was closed, and I had remember seeing the Emergency Animal hospital...so off we went. It was about 6pm.\n\nThey took the pup and said to wait or come back in 45 minutes so they could inspect him. After 45 minutes we got some bad news... the pup had licked it to the point that there was dead tissue and a raging infection. And it was going to cost close to $1,000. ::gulp::  They did say they could clean out the infection and stitch him up and we could take him to the vet the next day, but we didnt want to risk things getting worse just to save a few bucks. So he stayed there, over night. \n\nThe staff was really great (aside from the very unfriendly older receptionist) I called and check in on him at 11 pm and then again at 7am. Once we had him home I probably called the hospital AT LEAST 5-8 times asking random questions and they were always more then happy to answer them. \n\nPup had to have 2 drains put in, dead tissue and muscle removed, a ton of stitches...it was a tough 2 weeks of recovery...but he is back to his sassy puppy self.


I like the new location. I have only tried the coffee & pastries so far but both are still excellent. Monkey Bread, mmm. The new space has a nice cafe feel that looks suitable for just relaxing, lunch or a meeting (they still have meeting space).


Sammy's is located in Belmont's adorable small-town downtown district. (As a result, parking can be a pain sometimes, but stick with it and you're bound to find a street spot.) If you're from Gaston County, you're bound to see someone you know while you're having lunch at Sammy's. While you're there, check out the cute boutiques and bakeries nearby. \n\nI've mostly been to Sammy's for lunch or a beer after work. Sammy's has good cheeseburgers, chili and other pub food. The servers are very friendly. At night, you'll find friends hanging out grabbing a few beers.


Ok so this is a glorified airport Chili's so I had low expectations to start with. My margarita is pretty good, but expensive. I wish I could tell you about the food. Fact of the matter is, I've been here for almost an hour now. No sign of my burrito. Aren't most people here in a hurry? \n\nThis is going to need to be one delicious burrito. Too slow service for an airport. I should have walked the mile to the Moe's in the A gates. Lesson learned. \n\nAvoid.


If you are looking for a nice, stressfree getaway, I warn you not to stay at the Four Seasons Scottdale. The hospitality, communication skills (or lack their of) are by far the worst I've experienced in all of my travels. As I will get into details once I've checked into my next destination, i warn you at all costs not to stay at this hotel. It is by far the worst (what they call) luxury hotel experience.


They are saving money by doing the first coat of polish with some crappy off brand in a similar color. The polish looks really bad, the impurities in the crappy polish are showing. Not recommended.


love the food


Fran\u00e7ais apr\u00e8s\n\nHow can you miss pomme de terre risol\u00e9? By frying them! How can you miss Benedictine eggs ? By putting Mozzarella and Knorr Commercial Bechamel. \nHow can you miss pancake? (sorry americans) by doing american pancakes. How can you miss Waffles? By doing dry waffle mix. Now guess how many mistakes they do? ALL! AAALLL OF THEM!!\n\nComment tu peux manqu\u00e9 des pommes de terres rissol\u00e9es? En les faisant frire. Comment manquer des oeufs b\u00e9n\u00e9dictine? En mettant du Mozzarella et de la sauce b\u00e9chamel commercial en sachet. Comment r\u00e2t\u00e9 des cr\u00eapes? En faisant des pancakes am\u00e9ricaines. Comment manquer des gauffres?

If you don't like eggstasy, then I don't like you.  Honestly, best breakfast I've ever eaten.  Steak and egg skillet was fantastic.  If there's two of you, split one.  Then order a SMALL PORTION off the \"eggstasy\" selection in the back of the menu, I highly recommend the brioche French toast or the pancakes with pumpkin cheesecake sauce (make sure to order the pancakes crispy.)  I've never tasted anything like either.  The chorizo grits are also tasty (just like chilli), but you won't have any room for sides.  So obviously I love the food.  Service:  been there twice, Candace and Michelle are GREAT.  Michelle actually insisted on sending us home with to go cups of coffee (for no extra charge.)  Everything comes out so fast, it'll boggle your mind.  The owner, Pete, gave is extra pancakes out of the blue, on the house.  I honestly felt like I was a part of some social experiment where scientists were studying my reactions to insanely delicious food at fire sale prices.  \nPrice:  30 bucks for a fantastic meal for two?  Including coffee?  Hell yes.\nWait:  been there twice, waited 20 min at the bar the first time (the bar tender kevin is now my boy), sat right away the second.\nAmbiance:  too loud, but I didn't really care.  There were flies because it's an open air restaraunt, honestly the only thing that bothered me at all.\nPretty sure this is the first review I've ever written.  That's because this place is the shiat.  Not really sure how they're gonna stay in business for very long with those prices, so you might wanna get in the car now.  I SAID NOW!\nPs if anybody happens across any of the recipes for any of the dishes at this restaraunt, I will pay you one million dollars.\nPps Pete, if you're reading this, why aren't you open at 11:21 pm?  Also, I would consider nominating you for the Nobel peace prize if you implemented delivery.  Maybe if you delivered to Syria, ISIS would chill the phuk out.


Having come from the East where Mellow Mushroom started, I'm pretty well-acquainted with the food from this place. Interesting thing is that Mellow Mushroom's franchising availability used to be hush-hush, so there weren't so many of them and those wishing to start one apparently had to jump through hoops just to inquire about it. Semi-interesting stories aside, since they've blown-up and made it so far as Phoenix the quality of the business has gone down. \n\nCase-in-point: The Tempe location.\n\nThis is the biggest Mellow Mushroom I've ever seen, and it's got a nice, inviting atmosphere. That is, until your waitress is at your table immediately upselling things before she even asks your drink order. My wife and I were so baffled what she said didn't even register until a few moments went by (something about having some very specific beers or something; not \"Would you like a beer to start things off?\" More like \"Would you like to start of with A Kirin Ichiban which is renowned in Japan for its malted deliciousness or how about a *more garbled over-the-top mess*?\") so we were just looking at her in awkward confusion. I get it's part of being a waitress and she's probably told to do it, but have some tact about it eh? \n\nNext bit of fun, the menu: Most of the Mellow offerings I'm used to, with a few Phoenix originals (one pie having chorizo, stuff like that), but wow: The prices are ridiculous. $10 for a *cheese* calzone? And it's not even organic or anything? $6 for a pint? ONE PINT? I haven't even hit 30 yet, and I feel like I'm talkin' about the good ol' days where a pint might cost $3 or maybe even $4, but nah; this pricing's just robbery.\n\nAnyway, I quit my mental griping about prices and ordered the pie. If you've never had Mellow before, the best way to describe it is \"bread-like with a touch of molasses, with that freshly-baked taste.\" Toppings are good, but really the crust does it for me and today was no exception. \n\nStill, the constant and ridiculous upsells from our waitress coupled with her pretty much rushing us (continually looking at our table from afar, at one point dropping the check on the table with a very non-subtle and possibly ironic \"Here's your check; no rush or anything!\") because we weren't ordering a ton of crap (do they get commission or something?) and ignoring our simple requests (asked for napkins twice, got none- but hey, we did get an offer to get some sort of cake put in the oven now so it could be ready when we were done eating. I love upsells!) makes me definitely not want to come to this place again. Given the new and improved pricing of Mellow Mushroom, I probably won't be going to any one of these places again.\n\nWhat a ripoff.
