output: I'm giving this place 4 stars because I see potential! I went out last Wednesday with some girlfriends (including two yelp reviewers.. guess who?) at 7:30. The place was not bustling, but I was pleased to see so many people so soon after this place opened! There was a young man playing the piano.. which heightened the already pleasant ambiance. This place is cute! Granted, I didn't see it when it was The Office (one of my friends said it was just a jazzed up version of that), but this place just looks fun. The hostess was so nice, as was the waitress and the owner(?) who stopped by a few times. Yes, there are some kinks, but aren't restaurants supposed to get a 2 week grace period? Onto the most important part: the food and drink! We ordered 2 pitchers of Sangria to start off.. one white and one red. The white is pretty weak, with just lemons in it (I honestly thought the waitress had brought us a pitcher of ice water.. unfortunately I was wrong). The red sangria tasted honestly like hawaiian punch.. but it wasn't quite as radioactive red. It was pretty tasty, but sweet drinks just aren't my thing. Complimentary soups were brought out to us: goat cheese and artichoke? Nummy! Perfect portion and such a nice balance of flavors. No canned/jarred artichokes there! Also, their dishes are adorable. I'm a sucker for square plates! I ordered the olives ($3), the puerco pinchos ($4), the zucchini ($4), the chicken with paprika potatoes ($5?) and the lavender creme brulee ($5). The only one I wouldn't recommend is probably the chicken, which was just.. grilled chicken with paprika dusted potato chips. Give it to your picky eater :) I do recommend to the restaurant that they just offer the potato chips as a tapa! The olives were fantastic.. briney and marinated with a bit of manchego cheese. Huge portion too! The puerco pinchos (grilled jerk pork with sugarcane) was really delicious and tender. The star of the evening was the zucchini! Ohh dear.. grilled zucchini with honey, goat cheese, sage on top of toasted baguette. I could eat it all day. The touch of honey is absolutely genius! Finally, the creme brulee was nice.. Right portion for sure but they hadn't set the custard quite hard enough for my liking... All in all, I really like this place! I think it is perfect for a girl's night out or maybe a first date. Will I be back every week? Probably not.. it's a bit pricey for my grad student budget.. but don't be afraid of the tapas! The portion is just right.. I was full at the end of the evening! Keep up the good work V. Picasso!

output: Finally! A breakfast place just like back home! I'm all about Chicago; it's food and it's people. I ordered the French Toast and my guest had the Pancakes. Both items were fluffy and served with warm syrup. Very friendly service - family oriented atmosphere - Chicago ambiance.

Here is a copy of the email I sent the owner: Rob, I am taking a moment of my day to write to you to inform you of our experience last night in your bar which could be described as unethical and unimaginable. We were in there until about 10:30 or 11:00pm last night and went home to get more money because I make it a practice not to bring my bank card to a bar. We went home, had something to eat and walked back. We live at the Tempe Travel Trailer Villa right down the street and have been coming to your establishment off and on since the end of last May which I am sure you could care less about. There are reasons we are not more frequent which I may get to later. We came back in at 11:42pm (you can check your bar cameras) and we were asked by the bouncer if we were next door. It was late, we had some drinks in your bar earlier ($30 worth to be exact and we tipped the bartender about $10, so we're not scum) and were taken by surprise by this question and I said "yes" not realizing that he had meant Modern World. My partner had asked him "what do you mean next door?" Even though TTTV is not exactly next door it is less than a block from your "bar" and could be considered "in the neighborhood". We have patronized your bar to the tune of probably $500 regrettably since last May between us and friends that we had brought and while your bar could be considered a place to frequent on the way to something better we are close to it and don't have to drive. After this question was asked and we had told him, after the confusion was eliminated, we went home and came back he had promptly said "We don't allow that." I said you don't allow what? I can't go home and get more money and come back? He said "NO, get out, we don't allow that. You know what I am talking about?" What is this guy talking about? May I ask why patrons of Modern World are not allowed into your bar? Let me remind you that you own or manage a bar which doesn't exactly attract Christian folks ready to preach the gospel. You attract drunks, the homeless, broke college kids, and if your entertainment was any mark of what to expect it's no wonder why you're not busy. Every time we have been in there it's been dead and we've been there ranging from happy hour to Friday and Saturday nights. If someone is causing trouble in your bar, you boot them out. The key word here is causing. You don't assume that someone is going to start trouble ESPECIALLY when you don't know the facts and boot them out. We were in there before and have been there before and to prove it, no one on your staff knows us by name which means we're not on their radar or they're not friendly and care not to know their customers. I was completely offended by that asshole assuming we came from Modern World which in my opinion is not a problem. I didn't know you were in a position to be able to afford to kick folks out which happens every time we're in there. At one time the bartender told a guy last month he wasn't going to be served because he had already had some drinks. She told him to come in sober and SHE would get him "fucked up" which to me means no difference. If someone leaves your establishment and gets into trouble drunk it's not any different than someone coming in with some drinks under their belt and leaving. People bar hop. I have read reviews and have heard testimony from our neighbors at TTTV and they all say the same thing, you guys are quick to throw people out rather than accept the challenges that come with running a bar. We are now going to Starters and they have better drink deals and food. I'm an average guy with no title but "customer" and I expect to be treated like one when entering an establishment. I am 38 years old and have NEVER been kicked out of a bar because I know how to behave even intoxicated. Legally? You're drunk after one drink. Are you going to boot everyone after one drink? I later established that they were wanting to go home and were closing up shop. I think they were worried that we would stay until 2am (which I believe is posted, could be wrong) and we had no intention of it, especially after that. I did NOT tip the bartender after she served us last night (the last round, we tipped her before we left) as I felt that she could have told the guy to cool it off since she is the one in charge. He was so rude and after we told him we went home to get more money and we had cash in hand, he looked at us and rolled his eyes in the manner that we were lying. Bar closed at midnight. It would not let me cut the entire email because it was lengthy. I don't expect to hear back. I assume it's a prejudice bar and the staff really has a thing with who can come in and not. They're never busy. I wouldn't be so picky.
