Arizona Mills? More like Arizona SMELLS!!!!! EASILY a TOP 3 Ghetto Mall in the state! The whole time your here you can't help but feel your car will get broken into or someone will rob you. Also this mall is crazy dirty! When you walk in through the movie theatre exit on the side by Dave and Busters there is some type of metal structure that has more pigeon shit on it than the pigeon ladies clothes in Home Alone. The food court sucks and there are only about 3 descent stores here. Clean this Dump up mills!

Since there's not much going on in Downtown Mesa, I'm going up and down the Main street strip and critiquing all! (I'm still working at the Health care facility and Mesa--and looking--if anyone has an opening please let me know!!! I need to work FT hours and conduct my college internship somewhere a bit more progressive! plz msg me) Ordered the special of the day: Orgeat 12 oz latte for 3.25 and a vegan choc peppermint scone and it was very good! They have a seletion of bagel sandwiches too and will return to try! They score high for having agava syrup Suggestions to business: Clean glass and door of messy hand prints Post cost of food in case (muffins at $1.50 would move faster than $2) Get some better framing for musician pictures and hang more aesthetically, organized not mishap, around sofa area.

We've been eyeing up this restaurant for months. My husbands birthday was the perfect excuse to partake in colossal proportions. I had reservations, but once we got there we knew it wasn't necessary, the place was empty except for one other table. The hostess was friendly and assisted us quickly. The tables filled as the night progressed but having the waiters undivided attention was worth getting there early (6:30pm). I was unsure of the wine I wanted, so he patiently went through the list and brought multiple tastings of wine until I found the one I liked (Arizona Stronghold TAZI). Our waiter, Micheal, was top notch, he was patient and wasn't put off from all our questions, and even made suggestions. My husband got their specialty farmers market drink which was like an orange mojito. We were presented with 2 bite size fried cheese balls, compliments of the chef, they were good, reminded us of the gold fish snack crackers (LOL). We also were given tasty dinner rolls with butter or lardo spreads (we both preferred the butter). For our meals we decided on the INSALATA CAPRESE,....WOW, how can such simple ingredients taste so good? The tomatoes were candied, the mozzarella was fresh, soft and gooey, everything went perfectly together, I could eat that dish everyday. Next we got POTATO GNOCCHI BOLOGNESE and BUCATINI ALL' AMATRICIANA, both were delicious. The gnocchi was so tender and the sauce was perfect. The bucatini dish has a little spice to it, the pasta had nice tooth to it, really thick, the pork that was in the sauce totally put the taste into another dimension...simply amazing. Being a steakhouse we had to get beef, we agreed on the DRY AGED BONE IN RIBEYE for 2 with a side of MASCARPONE & GUANCIALE MASHED POTATOES and a GIANT MADAGASCAR SHRIMP. Paired with an Italian red Brandini. The monstrous piece of meat was presented to us, then the waiter carefully cut it into beautiful slices, the bone is left at the table and we were encouraged to have at it (my kind of place), my husband and I had to arm wrestle for the bone:) The steak was so tender, cooked perfectly, seasoning was simple and didn't overpower the meat. The wine complimented the steak perfectly. The mashed potatoes were yummy, very heavy though, so we tried no to eat too much of those. The shrimp was giant as advertised, cooked perfect, taste was delicious, a shrimp that eats like a lobster but better. By this point I thought my stomach would explode, but we decided to end the meal with a trio of gelato...vanilla, mint, and espresso; vanilla was the best, the mint made my stomach feel better and actually made me feel like i could eat more, the espresso helped wake me up from my food coma. I was wrong to think we were done, our waiter brought 2 complimentary raisin cookies, I had to eat it, reminded me of biscotti. The food is pricey but I think it was worth every penny and would go back in an instant, you can even eat at the bar if you wish to just pop in for a taste.

I went into this place yesterday. I walked in and the guy at the counter couldn't even bother to lift up his head, then he mumbles "what can I do for you". I tell him I was looking to get my handlebars raised as they aren't comfortable. He says nothing. I then ask if that's possible and he looks and says "nope, you'll need a whole new stem". I ask him if he thought it was worth it and he says "it's up to you". Nothing else. No advice, no close look and no explanation. I ask him what it would cost. This guy looked so hassled. After getting up and looking at the bike he then explains why the one I have can't be extended. He then goes to the back and comes back with two parts, an extender and a stem. He puts some info in the computer and says it would be about $60 + some labor. I asked if I had any other options, if there were any other stems he knew of that could help that may be more affordable and all got was a "nope". I sat there considering for a moment and asked when it could be done. He says not until next Tuesday. I made an appointment but decided to look around a bit more at some other shops. I took my bike to the Slippery Pig on central. Talk about a different world all together. Much more laid back and friendly. I was welcomed as I walked in and directed to the back of the store. I was told I would likely have to order a new stem but it was fairly inexpensive. I was told to go to the counter and I would be helped as I approached the guy from the back ran back up front and said they do in fact haf the stem in stock. Cost $19.99. Labor $12. Less than half price! The guy at Landis couldn't even offer me any alternatives or suggestions. I'm new to riding and using my bike to commute to work so I imagine i'll be using the Slippery PIg quite a bit. Think about that.....HALF THE PRICE.
