Q: Went here with my date during August Bites. Its a promotion the Scottsdale Quarter is doing this week to lure in patrons with discounts and deals at their restaurants. This place offered a fixed three course menu similar to what you'd see during AZ Restaurant Week. Choice of 1 of 3 appetizers, 1 of 4 entrees, and 1 of 2 desserts. Good thing too because their prices are not cheap if you're coming here for a normal outing. My date and I split the Parma for the appetizer. Its prosciutto and pear on toasted bread with goat cheese. Phenomenal flavor. For the main entree I got the cedar plank salmon while she got the Quattro Formaggio. The salmon was good and mixed well with the veggies and couscous, but didn't wow me. Her pasta though, wow. A bunch of different cheeses wrapped in pasta almost like a ravioli. Bursting with flavor with that sage sauce and caramelized pears. Highly recommend the Quattro Formaggio. For dessert, all the Yelpers talked a big game about the Red Velvet Bread Pudding and we got it. Be warned, do not try to eat this alone. Its amazing, but so rich you have to split it. Even splitting it we both felt way full. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is pretty quintessential Scottsdale. A mix of fine dining with a trendy vibe. This place isn't too pretentious, though the size of the booth we were in was pretty over the top. If the normal everyday prices were reasonable, I'd give this a perfect 5 star score. But the salmon I ordered would normally have been $40 and the appetizer about $20. Yeah, no thanks. But for August Bites (and if they participate in AZ Restaurant Week), a fixed 3 course meal for $30-$40 person is a pretty solid bargain.

Q: Hate to do this to the Pizza Lounge, but your service SUCKS!!! We've been to visit 4 times and haven't written a review because we hoped it was a 1 time event. The pizza is GREAT! Loved the salad and the wings, but my goodness your wait staff is horrible!! Had to get up to find someone for a water refill and to get the check. Janessa didn't check on us once. Yeah....it was busy, but to not check on how the food was or anything?!?! The manager heard about our displeasure and what did he do? Run outside to a table as fast as he could! Nice!!! This isn't isolated....happens each time we go. Only saving grace is that the pizza is actually good!! Not sure I have the patience for anymore abuse though. There are other great pizza places in Vegas.

Q: Very nice little place. Friendly staff. We went for lunch, ordered off the lunch special menu. My girlfriend got the broccoli beef, I got the chicken chili. The waiter asked me how spicy from 1-5, I said 3, could probably have gone 4-5 but that's just me, I like it hot. Regardless, the chicken was tender and wonderfully flavored, the peppers were al dente, the egg roll came with what tasted like a mango based dipping sauce, very mild, slightly sweet and not to overpowering. It came with a small bowl of soup - a very nicely flavored hot and sour type broth with big chunks of veggies. Good service, great food. I'll definitely come back.
