Q: negative

A: Sat down and waited 20 minutes for them to notice me and give me a menu. 25 minutes later they didnt come back to take my order. Some people came in and got their take out order immediately. Been to this place several times before and this is by far the worst service i have received. Will no longer come back.

Q: positive

A: There was a failed attempt to include a trip to this spa in a bachelorette party I was throwing, but instead of relaxing at a spa, I decided to get blackout drunk twice in one day and sleep during Penn and Teller. Then the night before I actually went here to the spa I had a 7am night stemming from Hakkasan. Before I get myself forcibly admitted to Betty Ford, let's just say if you need a place to detox by choice, Imperial Spa does the trick, and is an excellent place to nurse a killer hangover. Being a Korean spa virgin, I didn't know what to expect and still feel like I probably did it all wrong. The front desk worker does not show you around, so it's kind of trial by fire and I felt real stupid walking I around upstairs in my bathing suit and a towel. Wear your little outfits that they give you, friends. Favorites were the clay ball room, laying I the different little pits, and the ice room, pretending I was in a place with actual seasons. I'm sure my friend and I annoyed all the other patrons by having a monopoly on that ice room all day and having some really intense conversations in the little fridge....sorry that I'm not sorry. I also had some food. I picked what was going to make want me throw up the least being still very hungover at 3pm, and it did the trick--beef fried rice. The cook is such a sweet lady! I'm probably not going to seek a return visit but it was still fun and a cool experience.

Saturday I knew where I wanted to go and what I wanted to feast on. Burgers baby! So I dialed up my posse (my dad and little brother) and holla'd at them to meet me at the SanTan Brewery in Chandler around 1:30 pm. Finding the place was a little bit of a problem. They key is paying attention all while avoiding a car wreck; otherwise, you'll miss it once, twice or three times like I did. For the record it's south of Chandler Blvd and just west of Arizona Ave. The parking situation was a tad tight, so we circled around a few times and found a spot nearby. We ended up parking upfront but further down the strip which was about 4-5 businesses down wind. At the very least the parking spot was in the same complex, so that was a plus. The moment we entered we were greeted with a complete view of their brewing tanks show cased behind glass windows. If I am not mistaken I think every seat in the house offers a decent view of them. The bar-side seating seemed like a preferred spot as every seat was filled. The place was packed as far as indoor seating goes so we opted for outdoor seating. This time of year the weather is great so outdoor seating is just plain awesome. It did take about 15 minutes before we were seated so it wasn't a very long wait. The hostess (who was very bubbly from the getgo) walked us over to our patio seats and like always we began to play musical chairs because of the draft. Since the sun did not rest upon us directly it was a bit breezy for those who have a tendency to be cold, I won't mention names. If it gets to cold for comfort they have those nice outdoor heaters to warm you right up. The SanTan Brewery is a very inviting place I enjoyed it quite a bit. The layout didn't feel or come off like a typical sports bar, if you know what I mean. I am not a sports buff so sports on TV is simply wasted on me. Yeah there may have been flat-screens tuned into sports channels but the impression definitely revolved around its intention and that is the beer. It is definitely a cool place to hang out and matter of fact I am seriously considering making it one of my favorite watering holes even though I am not a big drinker. It's just that cool. The minute you walk in you are immediately sucked in and are overtaken by urges to sample everything they have to offer. So in order to quench your sudsy curiosity I recommend trying their SanTan Beer Sampler which will run you $8. Get yourself an idea of what you fancy before diving straight in. Unless you are a beer connoisseur or an aficionado, then by all means dive away. The service was a bit on the slow side for my taste, but our waiter ("Oscarito" is what they call him) was way cool and very helpful. Family tip: If you are thinking about bringing the smaller family members keep in mind that the bathrooms don't come equipped with changing stations. I was cognizant of what I wanted the minute I decided to go to the SanTan Brewery, because I reviewed their online menu before hand. Preparation is key! So without delay I ordered the "Stuffed Kasbah Burger". The name alone immediately sent me back to the 80's: The Clash "Rock The Casbah". Needless to say that was playing in my mind most of the night. "Something don't like it. Rockin' the Casbah! Rock the Casbah!" However this version of the Kasbah is made with ground LAMB and it comes stuffed with chopped dates, pistachios, smoked Gouda and topped with Moroccan Aioli [eye-oh-lee] sauce (sounds intriguing right). As a side dish I was able to choose from: pub fries, Caesar or pub salad or the homemade soup of the day which was Chipotle Bean Soup. I of course opted for the fries, because I love fries and they make me want to break out in a ballad. Like: I love the fries, the fries love me, they taste so good, so yummy yummy yummy... now get in my belly. It took quite a while for our order to arrive, but at first sight I thought it was covered with what appeared to be a spicy yellow mustard substance and instantly I asked the waiter with a perplexed look on my face, "what is this yellow stuff". "Moroccan Aioli sauce", he simply explained. At this point I was a little beyond buzzing (empty stomach) and thought to myself oh yeah that's right I did read that somewhere. So I proceeded as always and piled on the red onions, lettuce, the single slice of tomato and finished off with the bun. The first bite made me think of Indian or Burmese curry. It was like I was eating a curry burger. Seriously a curry burger. I am fan of curry so to me this was good, but there was something missing. I cannot put my finger on it. Perhaps a spice or ingredient but something was off. Needless to say this is one of those items that won't be a hit with everyone. I did enjoy it and the fries though were awesome, crispy and full of flavor. I liked the burger, the concept, the use of lamb, but something was missing from the Moroccan Aioli sauce. Anyhow I did dig the curry like flavor and experience of the burger. Would order it again!
