Problem: This past Saturday night was the pinnacle of my entire fine-dining life! I'm not joking and I'm not exaggerating, it was that damn good! Thanks to a Yelp event and Petite Maison's generosity, I was fortunate to win a 10 course meal with wine pairings for four people. I have to say, my hopes were very high and I went into the evening expecting to write a five star review. By the end of the night I was left wishing I could give a 10 star rating. Let's see if this review can do any justice to our night. Our reservation was for 7pm and I was accompanied by my fiancee and another couple. First off, our waiter/sommelier was Dustin. He was an outstanding server and a friendly young man. Dustin was unbelievably informative on each and every dish and wine served. I highly recommend requesting him when you make a reservation. Dustin gave the background and history of each wine along with how you should drink the wine with the food. We started the night with a Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc to accompany our first two dishes: bread puffs and a chilled Sweet Corn Soup with Truffle Oil. The bread puffs were freshly baked and delicious, but the soup was especially phenomenal! A great way to start the night. Next we had a Chardonnay to go along with a Beet, Radish and Multicolored Cauliflower Salad and then a caviar dish. The salad was light and delicious. The caviar was on top of a creamy scrambled egg with truffle I believe. By itself, the caviar was a bit too fishy for me, but when combined with the egg it was very good. I appreciated this dish even though it wasn't my favorite since it was my first time trying caviar. A Pinot Noir was the third wine and the first red of the evening. This wine was paired first with pan seared loup de mer, which literally means "wolf of the sea" in French. The fish was incredible! Definitely one of the highlights of the night! You may know it by its Italian name, branzino. We were then served an excellent soft shelled crab dish. It was fried to perfection and served atop a delectable sauce. The fourth wine of the night blew us all away! We were served a wine by Domaine Faillenc Sainte Marie winery. It was made with a Cinsault grape (pronounced "sinso", or close to that) and it provided the most unique scents and tastes that any of us at the table had experienced. I'll never forget this wine and I am determined to find it somewhere. Thank you Dustin for exposing me to its greatness! My fellow Yelpers, you have to check it out. The Cinsault was paired with duck and lamb dishes. Both meats were out of this world and prepared perfectly, just like every other dish we experienced. Lastly, the two dessert dishes were accompanied by a port. Not a big port guy, but I guess it's the wine to have when eating dessert. For a port I actually enjoyed this one. The first desert was a slice of baguette served with cheese and fruit. The second were mini chocolate doughnuts with a heavenly cream dipping sauce. Perfect ending to a perfect meal. Each dish was spaced out perfectly from each other. I was shocked to discover that the Petite Maison culinary masterpiece took four hours. The time absolutely flew by. I ate every single bite and drank every single drop. Thank you Chef James Porter, Dustin, and Yelp for what was the most incredible and memorable dining experience of my life. Seriously, wow! Great food, great company, great memories. It's what life is all about.

Problem: Being a military family we have been to so many pediatricians both good and bad... but I have never come across Dr's quite like the ones at TLC ( and I'm a nurse who works w/ drs all day everyday). My children see Dr nania... she's soft spoken calm passionate and understanding with my concerns. She's called me @ 8pm once to let me know a RX is ready that she called in. My son had blood work done today and Dr. Miller ( who we're not even a pt of ) called @ 930pm to let me know his labs are normal. For a mother that's a breath of fresh air, and AMAZING that she took time out her busy schedule to let me know and relieve some fears . A++ for TLC pediatrics highly recommend to anyone who really wants the best for their child/children.

Problem: It's good, but the topping selection, decoration, and service is better at Tutti Frutti a half block up the street. I'd go there instead any day.

Problem: Definitely the best brewery in Arizona! I believe what makes them stand out among the rest is their food. Great food for a brewery which is not usually the case. Been going there for years now.
