Yes Mill, yes! I know it's selfish, I really do, but I love the direction you're headed if you get more places like this. Canteen represents the perfect step up from Cue and Tavern for those of us who like to party down but aren't enthralled with the novelty enough to jam into tight spaces. Canteen finally gives a touch of class to a stale bar scene, without needing the cab ride up to Scottsdale or the Biltmore. That's not to say I'm done with the aforementioned bars, but damn does it feel good to have a choice. Pros: Huge tequila selection Multiple bars Huge patio in the back Decent dance floor inside Drinks aren't thaaaaaat expensive Generally pretty good music Cons: Always a line, though it does move quickly Back bar is a nightmare to get drinks A line for the mens restroom, what??!

The Mini Canoli was one of the best I've had in a long time (maybe a decade). The Cupcake was very good too! The staff was as sweet as the baked goods, three sisters and another lady. Very friendly, helpful and patient! The place is cheerful with, a lot of natural sunlight! Comfortable with plenty of room to stay, enjoying baked sweet goods and or Coffee. The big differences I see in the other great area bakeries and this place are in the Ratios: Canoli Wrapper was sooooo thick and the cake part of the Cup cake was so much more and the icing was so much less (these are factors I think someone wanting to be conscious of their calorie intake while still enjoying the occasional sweet would appreciate and since I could fall into that category (hopefully six days a week) I was very thankful today! I enjoyed the Mini Canoli and a full sized white Cake, Chocolate Butter Cream Cup Cake! Of course you can see my photos!

Possibly the Worst "Luxury" Hotel on the entire West Coast. The only shining star was the maid service!!! I can't say enough good things about her (luckily I had the same maid every day for an entire week and she was great)!!! I can't speak for the rest of their maids because a lot of the common areas were flithy (like on the other side of the hotel) but our maid was fantastic and my girl was being very difficult. I in no way endorse the Luxor, I think I just got lucky and was serviced by their ONE good employee, besides I had what they consider to a "suite" and I tipped her nicely every day.

I went to Maizie's for brunch this weekend and had a fabulous time! I was waiting for a friend to arrive and other patrons kept me entertained by recommending several tasty dishes. I barely opened the menu when my eyes and stomach found what I was looking for: Turkey Avocado Biscuit Benedict. This breakfast special was awesome! The spicy green hollandaise sauce was the perfect touch to this meal. I loved the potatoes on the side. The patio was a perfect place to have brunch and the wait staff was extremely helpful. I will be making more trips to this great Phoenix find!
