Q: negative

A: You know i was going to give them 2 stars at the very very beginning...Honestly i was. Why only 2 stars you are most likely wondering. To start off to give you a little idea is that i was born and raised in the bay area for almost 22 years of my life on nothing but the most amazing Asian spots to eat at with the best flavor and all. Luckily i did find a Thai spot out here in hot dry Arizona which does not happen to be Thai basil obviously. Second off i happen to be a huge foodie and let flavors sit to get the full experience. Thai basil lacks A LOT of flavor because everything was so watered down. I asked for mild panang curry and my friend ordered the mild pad thai. i was expecting some sort of spiciness given the fact that i had asked for MILD and not MEDIUM. I shouldn't have to order the hot to get more flavor out of it wouldn't you agree?? something in between spicy and no spice? it would make sense...but thai basil failed that miserably on the flavor aspect and spiciness lots of points missed there. Now we had got there 5 min after the lunch hour meal deal had ended but we did not want huge dinner portions at the time so we had asked very politely if it was possible if we could order the lunch meal instead. The manager, I'm assuming agreed and brought us out some soup to start. The soup was not bad since we were starving at the moment and i love tofu so okay onward with my review. Shortly after they had brought out my awaited panang curry which looked to be quite soupy and full of veggies which i do not mind. What matters the most is the consistency and flavor. Which you should have an idea of how the flavor turned out but it gets worse. As i poured some curry over my rice and go to eat a spoonful i am quite used to a spoonful of curry to cover the rice with enough flavor. This was not the case here. i had to basically pour a whole bowl of curry onto a small tiny cup of rice to get any flavor of curry over my rice. :( Thai basil had screwed up my friends pad thai and brought out her piping hot plate a couple minutes later hers was not even tinted with any redness we should not need to add more hot sauce when we asked for mild we expected mild. We were more than happy to get the lunch special than a huge dinner plate because of the fact that we should not have to pay so much for HORRID(cleaned up word for what i would like to say) food. We were definitely complaining but don't you think you would also if you were to see a rating of 4 stars out of five on a highly reviewed Thai place? My other friends pad see ewe? was lacking of all flavor apparently in 85% of the dish and said the rest was bland. The employees were giving us the dirty eye the rest of the time when they realized how much we hated their food. When they brought us to go boxes we didn't need i just told my friends it was pointless to pack the nastiness up when we really wouldn't be eating it later. They agreed and asked for to go cups for our thai tea instead the employee came back and slammed the cups down and walked away continuing to give us dirty looks. TERRIFIC. So freaking what if we dont like your disgusting food. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. and this was 3 reviews in one. We did NOT leave a tip because the employees were not helpful or considerate since we did not enjoy their food in the slightest. it was not worth my 10 dollars because i ended up having the worst stomach pain for 12 hours straight and bubble guts for probably a good 7-8 hours in the beginning. gross, i know. I would like to give them another chance but after my 12 hour long incident i really don't want to risk it. I will continue to go to my beloved thai rama when they are open that has to suffice until i go back to the real deal in San Francisco, Milpitas, San Jose or Tracy, CA.

Q: positive

Q: positive

A:
A good solid steakhouse. Not the best, but it has a lot going for it. The waitstaff was good, the view was good, and the setting was different. The salads were made w/ fresh greens,etc.,the dressing was excellent, and the steak tender. The only drawback to the steak is that it could have had more flavor; on the other hand, my partner said her steak had good flavor. Go figure. The dessert was outstanding.
