Q: Last Saturday night my wife went over to Postino to check it out. We have lived in Gilbert for several years and have seen this location as a revolving door for restaurant concepts. In my opinion, Postino pinpointed the right demographic and location and delivered in a big way. From the time we were greeted to the time we left we had a top notch experience. The wait was about 20-25 minutes on a Saturday night around 7:30. We sat outside on a day that it was around 110 and with the misters we were totally comfortable. My wife and I loved the simplicity of the menu - starters, salads, panninis, bruschetta, dessert... EASY. We both ordered salads, I had the Field Greens with Chicken, she had the Mediterranean. Both were artfully presented, fresh and delicious. We loved the atmosphere, music and upbeat vibe flowing through the place. I asked to speak to the GM or Manager to convey our thoughts - 2 energetic guys came out to greet my wife and I. Phil and Cristobal, both managers came out and we let them know that we had found our "new place" - they both were excited and you could tell they were passionate about what they are doing with Postino. We'll definitely be going back and have already made plans to make it over to the Arcadia location.

Q: A 4.5 star restaurant for sure! Good thing i made a reservation. I was able to secure a seat by the bar at 9:30pm last Saturday night. Yes, that is normal dining time for the locals. I love being seated by the bar/kitchen because i get to watch all the actions and feel the energy. They have quite a few beers on tab and good wine selections. We had this crab in puff pastry as an appetizer which is not on the menu, it's so amazing: fresh crab with a little bit marinated and fresh greens sitting between perfectly crisped pastry shells, yumm! we also had beef tartare. I'm not a beef person, and i hesitated when the young lady next to me recommended it. it turned out to be amazing as well. It was exemplary in taste, presentation and execution. we had special risotto and duck in a can for entrees. Duck in a can is pretty good, a little salty for me, but it's pretty good. I loved the risotto they made in front of me: they mixed pre-made risotto and a pan of pre-made sliced mushrooms and some foie gras in a huge cheese bowl. It is very yummy, but really filling. we also ordered poached pear with ice cream, that was a little too sweet for me.

Q: It has been a couple of months ago so excuse the late review but I have eaten at this location four or five times even though I'm from California. So now that the disclaimer is out of the way, onto the review. Bachi burger are for those who like their taste buds to rome wild. Bachi is connected via a door way to their sister restaurant Shoku Ramen. Which closes earlier even though they share the same space. I started with Salt and Pepper Garlic fries. It's served with Jalapenos and a garlic chili aioli sauce. This is great way to start off a meal. It's an explosion of tastes and it lights up your tastes buds begging for more. Then the Miyagi-San burger arrives and I instinctively bow my head in a gesture of respect to this masterful burger. After practicing my wax on wax off techniques (if you understood that reference you just dated yourself) I begin to indulge myself by bitting into the burger. I enjoy a fried egg in my burgers and if you have never had an egg in your burger, Bachi is definitely the place to venture out of the norm. Your mouth is challenged by the opposing textures. The hamburger bun is soft as a cloud and paired with the crispiness of the onion straws, all you can do is close your eyes and enjoy the sensory overload. At that point the flavors of the caramelized bacon and sauces kick in, and when you least expect it you are in a blissful comatose. I recently tried the chili fries and it's an out of body experience. Don't be afraid of the ox tail and you will pleasantly surprise your taste buds. Bachi is not where you come to be conservative or play it safe. Be adventurous and you will walk away a happy camper. If you want an amazing burger and avoid the strip, this is the place the come. Since I work so often in Vegas, this is definitely one of my safe havens.

Q: I tried this place because we were given a coupon and thought we would check out the casino. It was pretty bad - the same as like a hometown buffet. The service was actually pretty good - because we had a cool waiter who chatted it up and made jokes with us. We were in pretty early around 5:30. The only truly good thing was the mac and cheese. Other than that, it was a big let down. The rips were mostly fat, the turkey was dry to the bone, and the tilapia was flavorless. The deep fried shrimp was pretty good..but you can't really mess that up or a salad. The dessert choices were pretty expansive and looked really good. However, the taste was blah. The only good one was the mini pecan pie. I would never come back here..even with a coupon - I ended up only eating a few dollars worth of food.
