Problem: You'll find one of the prettiest views in the Valley at Jade Bar, the recently remodeled lounge at Sanctuary Camelback that overlooks Camelback Mountain. At night, the houses dot the mountain with lights, creating a beautiful backdrop to the chic Jade Bar decor. I can only imagine a sunset view is breathtaking. Thanks to Jan Bracamonte of J. Lauren PR for inviting me to try some menu items and some cocktails. There's always something fun happening at Jade Bar. Every day from 4-6 p.m., it hosts "The Pour" happy hour, with draft beer for $5, wine for $6, and specialty cocktails for $8. There's live music Friday nights from 7-10 p.m., and Saturday's at 1 p.m., there's a Mixology 101 course ($30), limited to 10 people that features how to make some of Jade Bar's signature cocktails. Considering all the signature cocktails are usually $14 apiece, head to happy hour to try them for nearly half-off. My favorite was the Pepper Smash #2, with mint, Krogstad Aquavit, fresh lime juice, fresh yellow bell pepper juice, and maple syrup. I don't think I've ever had a drink with fresh yellow bell pepper juice, and this cocktail had a nice spicy kick I loved. Sweet and spicy cocktails are some of my favorites, and this one was garden fresh and tasty. I also tried the Botticelli, with vodka, bitters, fresh lime juice, fresh grapefruit juice, and champagne. This was light and fruity and refreshing, like a dressed-up version of champagne. I was lucky enough to try several of the vegetarian food offerings, too, by chef Beau MacMillan, who hosted Food Network's 'Worst Cooks in America.' Not surprisingly, considering how fancy Jade Bar's sister restaurant elements is, this was the most upscale bar food I've tried - even the chips and onion dip ($8) had a chic twist, with caramelized onions that gave the dip a sweet flavor I've never tasted in onion dip. The black bean and eggplant hummus and pita bread ($9) was great. The pita bread is baked freshly in-house, and the appetizer also came with a veggie "bento box" full of an array of fresh veggies. Some of the veggies didn't really make sense for hummus dipping to me (an onion, a cabbage leaf), but the veggies were a cute touch that certainly brightened up the plate. I also tried the edamame ($5), which, like the chips, was a generous portion. The edamame was as good as any I've tried at a sushi restaurant. But the biggest draw at Jade Bar is the ambiance and those views. Jade Bar is full of comfortable seating, with cushy chairs and couches anchored by marble, candlelit tables. The actual bar is huge and also had a big crowd congregating at it. Whether you want to have a romantic date or are in the mood to meet new people, Jade Bar's warm and bustling atmosphere seemed conducive to either, and the service was outstanding. On New Year's Eve, Jade Bar will be bringing regular dining tables into the lounge to serve a four-course dinner. Diners with table reservations also get a bottle of Cristal at midnight, and a DJ spins all night with a dance floor. Table reservations start at $1,000 for four people, but Jade Bar is also open to the public New Year's Eve, no reservations required, and with no cover charge. To reserve a spot at Mixology 101, call (480) 607-2300, and for New Year's Eve reservations, call (480) 948-2100. Head to www.sanctuaryoncamelback.com for more details.

Problem: 2nd time we've had to make a middle of the night visit to the ER to treat my darlings migraines. As with any business, people are going to have their own personalities, and there have been some folks working there that leave much to be desired, however, the RNs and the Physician have been amazing! They promptly took us back both times, and quickly assessed the situation and administered medications right away. The staff checked in often and were very caring and empathetic toward my lady! Great place!

Problem: I have to say..this place is not all that great. Its actually not even good. It straddles the fine line between mediocre and bad. On a recent Vegas trip, my fiance and i decided not to go too crazy blowing our money at clubs so we sat on the outdoor patio overlooking Vegas Blvd instead ordering the half-yard margarita, beer, and some appetizers. the half-yard marg was on the rocks and was strong. I had a pint of Dos Equis Lager. We ordered the chicken strips and fries. Within 15 mins, i had a terrible stomach ache and ran to the bathroom to puke. It could have been something in the food or alcohol. But its one incident and it could have happened to anyone. Why the 2 stars? I asked for another beer and it never came...but it was noted on our final bill. The half-yard came out to be $36!! when you order the same drink at the walk-through counter inside the mall, its only $17!! I tried arguing with the server but was so sick and nauseous that i couldnt. She did remove the extra beer charge and the bill was still $60!! i would not come back to this place to eat or drink. I would come back to watch all the drunk people attempt to walk up/down the stairs!

Problem: I kindly accept checks if you were planning to adjust my payment. That payment code shouldn't stop you from doing the right thing. Thank you. By the way I check my phone and no phone call was received during the time they finished the job. After they finished the job payment code was requested is that not the policy or should it be wait for the owner to call for job completion for future reference.
