Ok when you first go in, they seem a bit snooty at the front desk and the girls have a tendency of only giving attention to the guy your with (sorry but thats the truth). That usually irks me right off the bat because they have no idea it might be ME thats actually paying the bill and leaving them the tip. We usually like to skip main dining room and head right over to the bar side -- much more fun. We usually get a high top there and start with a round of Cucumber Gimlets - but made with vodka not gin. OMG - these are the best drinks EVER. We usually order a calamari - which has a spicy sweet brown sauce with it and is wonderful. We then usually split an entree and a couple of side items and our choice is the bone-in filet all the time. The meat is prepared beautifully and the taste is awesome. Their truffle mac and cheese is something my husband dreams about (when he's not dreaming about me, of course... 8) And their double baked potatoes are really yummy. If you have room for dessert, try the baked alaska - its hog heaven for those of you that like ice cream. The portions at this place are huge so sharing is recommended. We really do love this place. Just ignore the girls at the front door and have a couple of gimlets. Everyone just seems nicer after that...

I went there last night with a large party (10). You would think they would see a larger group and be excited and or a least kind. However everyone was pretty short and rude. We decided to stay and try out the food, even the the table was messy and the menus were greasy. All of which should have been warning signs of what was to come. What we received should not be called Mexican food. We had hot plates but cold rice and lukewarm food. When we informed our waitress of the issue she stated she would get us more rice which she did. However she didn't take the plate back, she provided us a plate to put the cold rice AFTER we had asked for the plate in which to do that. I personally ordered the Carne with an Enchilada and it was the WORSE enchilada I've ever had. I've made better ones using canned chile. The steak tasted like rubber and was very chewy. There was 0 consistency with the food seeing as though 3 people ordered the same meal and none looked or tasted the same. I live in Phx now and i was hoping to show my family a decent spot for some Mexican food. I was extremely disappointed in this place and will never go to it again nor will I recommend it. If you're thinking of coming here just go to chipotle or even Taco Bell, it will be cleaner and the food will be done with pride.

Finally a REAL coffee shop in town and in a great area too. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is, even though they have single origin coffees from multiple locations around the globe, they still slightly over-roast the beans. Being a home coffee roaster for a few years now, you really appreciate it when a shop will roast the bean based upon its character and not just to suit the masses (s-bucks)

The meatloaf sucks! We love their ham, sandwiches and sides, but yesterday my wife bought a meatloaf and side of loaded mashed potatoes from Honeybaked Ham. What a horrible meal. The meatloaf is dense and has a thick layer of ketchup. When I say dense, I mean it is about the size and density of a brick. The taste was not actually bad (once you get past the ketchup), but texture is something I just could not adjust to. The mashed potatoes -loaded style- had bacon, chunks of potato, and probably sour cream and cheese. Not suited to my taste. I will buy from them again, just will stick to the ham!
