Q: I have to agree with the ratings already posted here. We just completed a very interesting dining experience and one that I hope not to repeat any time soon. First of all there was no greeting upon entry. It hard to identify where we should position ourselves to be seated since the host's podium blended into the nondescript interior. We were seated promptly but I was struck at the lack of any semblance if design at this establishment. I consider myself to be a minimalist, but decor here is too sparse even for me. There was nothing relaxing or exciting about it. I knew the experience would be rocky when the paper menu of appetizers was placed before us. Really? Paper menus? Way to make a first impression. Then, when the dinner menu was delivered, one page went to my husband and the second page went to me. It took us a few minutes to realize that we each had half! Why we only got one menu for a party of two is beyond me. My main criticism is that the place lacks a vibe. They are going for a theme, but it's not well demonstrated. Ok, there is a martini shaker on the table but how does that tie into shots? The server explained that the "shakers" they serve are basically mixed drinks. What??? Your server should be able to adequately explain your concept and inspire guests to order something fun and unique. The food wasn't bad. I enjoyed the complimentary hummus. The bruschetta was tasty but the bread it was served on was too thick. I had to chuckle when the server asked if he could remove any plates and I told him he could take the center plate and my husband's. He then swooped away my plate while I still had bruschetta in my hand! Rookie mistake. We witnessed two couples leave -- one when they were ignored and never got seated and the other after examining the menu. Also a family of three left after being served water. Last, as we departed no one said a word. No, "Thanks for coming." or "see you next time." Nothing. My advice? Hit up The Vine across the parking lot. They say "hi" and good-bye."

Q: Can't tell you about the food cause we never got any. After a 35 minute wait we walked out. Check out the other reviews and I concur. Don't hate your self and go somewhere else.

Q: Wasn't impressed. Heard so many good things from other people but really, it's just another bar with a descent amount of beer on draft with mediocre food. Don't go here expecting it to change your life or really anything more than average local brews with a few specialties here and there. I'd MUCH rather go to Boulders or Papago, especailly since either don't have a blinding amount of light...

Q: I was just there this past Saturday night on a first date. She suggested Uncle Sal's and I had never heard of it before and was game for a great Italian restaurant. Being new to the area, I look forward to getting to know as many places as possible. Although the restaurant is in a strip mall, Uncle Sal's sits back off the road a little which is good because you don't get a lot of car noise if you're sitting on the patio. There are fountains outside with dim lights for a very casual dining experience. When my date arrived, we walked in and were greeted by a very nice hostess. I told her we had reservations for the patio and I asked her if smoking was allowed there and she said yes. So we opted for the bar which was open seating. The bar area is filled with tables along the wall and a horse shoe bar. We were greeted immediately by Johnny, a NY yankee fan whose service was impeccable. He was fast, courteous, and had a lot of personality. The menu was filled with every type of Italian dish you could hope for. Although I was looking for some pasta, I tried the filet mignon with gorganzola sauce. Johnnie brought out lightly toasted garlic bread with either olive oil or butter on it. I don't remember but it was gooooood. The salads came fast and were very good. My date ordered pasta with sausage and peppers and there was enough food to feed two people. My dinner came out and I was surprised with the portion as well. It was almost the length of a NY Strip, but thick like a filet. And folks....it was one of the best filets I've had in a long time. I usually order my meat medium and this melted in my mouth it was so tender. I also had it on a bed of bowtie pasta. The only thing that I would have liked differently, was that there was too much sauce and it was poured on my steak. It took a little away from the flavor of steak but it was to die for. It was that good! Great service, great food, nice ambiance for a small place. I'll be back soon to try their pizzas and pasta dishes!
