My wife and I have nothing but good things to say about Terry's. We've taken our car in for a few minor repairs and they've been courteous, quick, and professional every time. Neither of us knows very much about cars and Terry's never makes us feel stupid or makes any attempt to push us into unneeded repairs. On the contrary, they've recommended NOT doing several things we've asked about, which shows that they are honest and decent people. I would highly recommend them.

We first went to Monti's over 30 years ago. We have gone regularly for decades. We have enjoyed small intimate dinners and large family gatherings. The food had always been good and the atmosphere pleasant. It is has changed drastically over the last year. We applied my three strikes rule to make sure it was not just a bad night. The questions have been answered for me. This is not a restaurant that should be on anyone's go to list anymore. If you want a good meal with good service keep looking.

It's rare that I have a date with my husband on a Monday afternoon/evening, but this past Memorial Day, we did just that. After a quick visit to the Science Center (the Van Gogh alive exhibit is a must-see by the way), we were hungry so we headed over to Rice Paper. Neither of us had ever been before, and we were pleased with our experience. It was a tad bit too hot to sit outside, although they do have a covered patio with misters. We walked in and were seated and greeted promptly by Al, our server. He's quite the character. He made us laugh quite a bit in addition to being attentive and making some recommendations. We enjoyed the stylish renovated house / hip colorful atmosphere as well. We ended up ordering a few things and sharing. Highlights included the firecracker shrimp. a spider roll, a shrimp roll, and a zen salad. Everything was light and tasted fresh. We really enjoyed the dipping sauces that came with the spring rolls. They've got such a huge selection of the spring rolls, that I can't wait to return to try some of the others. They don't have a huge selection of Vietnamese entrees, but it appears that they will custom create a bit upon request. I highly recommend going for the "food happy hour." It's from 3pm - 6:30pm and includes $6 appetizers & $1 off all spring rolls. Such a deal! We didn't take advantage of it, but the "drinks happy hour" is actually 11am - 6:30pm and specialty drinks are $6, house wine by the glass is $5, well drinks are $4, and draft beer is just $2.75. If only Rice Paper was a tad bit closer to home, I could see myself being a regular... Instead, I'll keep it high on my list of spots to return to when I find myself heading downtown!

Bandera looks just like Houston's. I don't know why they have two almost identical restaurants types, but both are just great. They don't do reservations, so expect a wait. It's a bit more cozier than Houston's with lots of u shape booths and same dimly lit environment. The artichoke appetizer was not in season and got their cornbread skillet as an app instead. It was real satisfying. Wildfire offers it complimentary though. Don't know if there are Wildfire in AZ. Their prime rib was so good and same with their filet. Rotisserie chicken was really good from what my friend said. The service was very warm and friendly. It's not too loud do you can carry on conversations with your friends. Overall good place for dining in Old Town Scottsdale!
