output: Went here on a business trip with 8 others. Probably the loudest "nice steakhouse" I've ever been to... and they said it was fairly calm as it was only a Wednesday night. The funny thing was that we all agreed the noise became less noticeable as we got drunker lol. But, if I'm going to a nice place, I'd prefer it to be a place where I can at least hear the people with me. Drinks and wine were great. We had the seafood platter appetizer which was the best I've ever had. Jumbo Shrimp, crab legs, crab, claws, lobster, oysters, and some other stuff. This was the highlight of the evening for me. I ordered the Cowboy Ribeye. I have to say I was a little disappointed in the cut of meat. I mean, it was huge and it was cooked well, but, for an $85 steak, I expect prime quality. This did not taste "prime" to me. This is the only part of the night (besides the noise possibly) that keeps STK from getting 5 stars from me. It cold be that a steak this large is tougher to find "prime" quality? Not sure, I might advise trying the medium cut and seeing if that's any better. Overall, very good experience though. A little pricey for me as our total bill came to over $2k for 9 people, but, had a nice time nonetheless. (Luckily our company paid for it.) To me, it wasn't worth $225 per person, probably more like $150-$175 range. But, then again, we did drink quite a bit. Also, I have to say that the service was top-notch. They had 1 main waiter and 2 other people taking care of us. They did a great job. One other semi-annoying thing was that they only have 1 single restroom for men and women. 2 stalls for the entire restaurant. This seems absurd to me. As I said at the start, they told us it was a quiet night for the place... But, there was still a line every time I had to use the restroom (which was quite often as we were "indulging"). I can't imagine the lines on a weekend.

output: I booked this hotel through Priceline for my one year wedding anniversary and was really happy to have gotten a "4 star hotel" for $100 a night. Unfortunately, after researching reviews on this hotel I found that google reviews, yelp and trip advisor had this hotel listed as a 3 star hotel with many recent reviews mentioning bugs in the hotel. I immediately had a small panic attack and tried to cancel or move my hotel stay to another hotel. I am terrified of bugs and did not want this incorrectly rated hotel to ruin my special day. I contacted priceline who placed me on hold and when they came back on the line said they called the hotel to verify they did not have bugs. Basically I was stuck with this reservation. Anyway, I stayed at the hotel and paid an additional $50 when we checked in to upgrade to the suite in hopes that the room would be nicer (ie bug free). When we checked in the room was a little dated and there was a flying insect in the room but all in all it seemed decent - not 4 stars - but doable since we weren't going to be in the room much anyway and didn't want to just be out the $150 we ended up paying to stay there. My husband and I went out and had an awesome anniversary - came back and went to sleep with no issues. However, the next morning while we were getting ready for brunch I was leaning in close to the mirror to do my make up a spider crawled right by my face and into the closet where I assume it lives along with the other insects we ended up seeing that morning. I immediately rethought everything I had done that morning. Did anything crawl into my clothes I laid out to wear that day? Had anything gotten into my purse that had sat open? I immediately broke into hives and was itchy at the thought and almost left everything I had brought behind. So although this hotel did not ruin my anniversary night - it did ruin my anniversary brunch and the rest of my weekend. Unpacking my suitcase and even just reaching into my purse the following days was horrifying. I wish priceline would have understood my very real fear of insects and at least tried to work with me. Lesson learned - priceline does not care about its customers and always check yelp reviews before you book your hotel . Dont stay here if you are also terrified of bugs

First time in, and around, the Camelback Esplanade and wanted to check out this little classy dive bar because of the great reviews, here on Yelp. I was surprised how small and inconspicuous is was, and equally surprised that I was only the second person in the bar around 7:45pm on a Saturday night! Really?? ...oh, they just opened, no problem. I stepped outside to meet my party and returned in about 35min to find it hoppin' and much louder, which became a bit annoying, as I think I expected a more conversational atmosphere, like when I first popped in a short time before. Greated at the door, which was nice, but the service was a bit lack luster. The drinks (Moscow Mule and a Rum &Coke) measured up to par, and did not disappoint. I probably won't return, as I don't fequent the area often, and there are so many other places to choose from.
