Problem: Cute little spot in downtown Gilbert. I wasn't prepared for it to be more like a cafeteria but with really nice food. You place your order at the counter, the hostess finds you a table and then they bring things out to you. We had the short rib special which was delicious. Really rich with a great sauce and house made noodles. The Italian Salad was also good. Nothing super special but good and a really hefty serving. In fact, all the servings were really well sized. All in alla great place for a family dinner. Especially is your family is like mine and nobody can decide on a particular cuisine. Liberty Market had something for everyone.

Problem: Binkley's is a beautiful restaurant nestled in the Mountains of Cave Creek AZ. My wife and I had the privilege of dining at Binkley's on our 9th wedding Anniversary and it was truly an unforgettable evening! Here are some key notes: ~ Beautiful Decor with Wood Accents ~ Dim lighting ~ Minimal Seating (This is a good thing!!!) ~ A knowledgeable staff ~ Complimentary Amuse Bouche served through out your meal! ~ A Well Developed and Creative Tasting Menu with Wine Pairings Above and Beyond: ~ The restaurant created special menu's that said "Happy Anniversary to ...(our names)" ~ Chef Binkley also sent out a complimentary dessert with a cookie Twill that said Happy Anniversary. My favorite 3 dishes: ~ Seared Foie Gras ~ Kobe Beef Carpaccio ~ Chocolate Souffle Chef Binkley is an incredibly innovative and talented Chef that has given us a place which embodies the definition of a Dining "Experience!!!"

Problem: We had a great evening out on the patio. We started with the pretzel and cheese fondue. Very good, I wish I could bake such a fine bread, it was really light and tasty. I had the scallops, a bit sandy but that's par for the course, only 4 of them. Pricey, $23, I would of thought 6 for that price. Hubby had the beef short rib stew, he liked it. Guest had fish and chips and she cleaned her plate. Other guest had the chicken stroganoff which looked great. Homemade noodles, he said it needed a bit more sauce. We all split the salted caramel pudding, super sweet but really good. A table over had 3 orders of the ribs and they smelled terrific, I'll order them next time. We were there at 745, we didn't order our entrees until about 845 and by then the prime rib was sold out. That was my first choice, also saw that at other tables and it looked great. Too much time chit chatting! Our waiter was great, he knew we were going to be there for a long time and never rushed us. We hadn't seen these friends in years so it was a great time. 6 beers and 2 ice teas plus entrees and appetizer was $145 plus tip so $175. Not what I want to pay for everyday meals but I'm ok with it. The patio is very comfortable, not too crowded, service was what I wanted, food was good, people watching was fun, I felt very comfortable. Next time we will try indoors and I'll order meat, earlier!

Problem: Our Thursday night ritual is pizza at home. New to this part of town, we have tried all the chain pizza places for delivery. Last night we decided to try a more mom and pop type of place. I placed the phone order after browsing the menu on Prima Pizza's website. The person who took my order was friendly. The pizza arrived in the allotted 40 minute time frame that was given. The delivery driver was extra pleasant. We were surprised to find crushed peppers and Parmesan packs in the pizza boxes-- SCORE! My vegetarian pizza was colorful and filled with veggies. My bf's pepperoni pizza was a bit greasy, but that is to be expected with meat AND cheese. I felt like Prima's pizza was made with love, not just another order that needed to be filled. I think this will be our pizza place on Thursday nights. Gotta go, my left over pizza is done warming up- :)
