A: Lunch was good - the chefs special was a pulled pork sandwich - very good. Cole slaw is amazing. French dip isn't worth it.

A: I was in town visiting a friend, and he suggested we try Scottsdale Quarter for shopping & restaurants. There are a ton of restaurants in Scottsdale Quarter, and Tanzy seemed to have the most diverse menu and great decor. Everything about this place oozes cool. PROS: 1. Ambience - the restaurant has beautiful, modern decor and attracts a young, upscale crowd. As you enter, there is large lounge area with sofas which makes it great for large groups to relax together. We actually ate in the lounge area and it was comfortable and relaxing. 2. Food - I tried a mozzarella bruschetta appetizer that is made in front of you which was a nice touch and also tried a pasta dish for my entree. Both dishes tasted good and the presentation looked fantastic. CONS: 1. Service - the service is so-so. As I mentioned, we chose to sit in the lounge area, and our waitress would check-in on us every 20-30 minutes even though the restaurant was pretty quiet. Our glasses were empty and took us awhile to get our entree order in after getting appetizers. 2. Price - the two of us ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and a couple of drinks each. Total cost about $110 (including tax & tip). A little pricey. Overall, I would visit this restaurant again once or twice a year for special occasions and group events.

A: i don't even know where to start this review. Hotel Chocolat is a magical place like a store version of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory but slightly classier and minus the oompa loompas. but the chocolate....wow is pretty much the only way to describe it. my first encounter with Hotel Chocolat was stumbling upon a shop during a trip to York. i was so excited to see so many varieties of chocolate truffles available in addition to great big slabs of chocolate with various flavours. i couldn't help myself and bought up about 30 worth of the selector boxes :) my boyfriend was less than pleased with my lack of self control, until i offered him some.... when this wonderful shop opened in Edinburgh i was super excited! the shop had all the amazing chocolates plus a little cafe to get chocolate based drinks!! hello lover :) i try to limit my visits as when i go into this place i tend to come out with a bag full of chocolate treats and a rather empty wallet. but it's so worth it! the salted caramel truffles are a favourite, but i've also enjoyed the purely praline truffles, and the bellini truffles with a hint of champange and a kick of peach, and the lemon berry truffles, and the millionaires shortbread, and well the list goes on and on. my boyfriend says the whiskey truffles are marvelous and we both enjoyed the chilli ones. i also have to say the gingerbread hot chocolate is maginificent!! oh this shop, i can't stop singing its praises! not only is the chocolate a delicious treat, but the staff could not be friendlier or more helpful. i'm sooooo glad we have this lovely little haven in Edinburgh :) when i've managed to demolish my latest supply of chocolates i will definitely be back for more.

A:
Worst chicken Parmesan I've ever had. I asked for sauce on the side. Dish came out w penne pasta and a very strange looking piece of breaded, clearly pre-made, pre-frozen piece of chicken. I stated "I've never seen a chicken Parmesan without melted cheese on it". Cook said to me "do you want some parmesan?" I said no, I wanted some mozzarella melted on it. I watched the main female cook throw some cheese on my dish, put it in a microwave and re-serve it to me. To say the chicken why dry and hard would be an understatement. I've eaten here before and I will tell you, stick to the sandwiches or salads. My husband had the lasagna, also a microwaved hot mess, although very flavorful. I don't know why a broil devise is not being used? When the male cook brought my dish back to me I should of just refused it. I would of been embarrassed to give this to a customer.
