A: With nearly all Tappanyaki, you can expect the same: All very similar with the exception of a few different meat selections. What sets it apart from others is the chef, his tricks, jokes and how well he engages the table. Food wise: The meal for our party of 3 was on par with anywhere else. Soup, salad, rice/noodle, protein and the cooking show. Chef: But let's be real, you could order from any kitchen and get the same. You go to sit for the show and interaction. Otherwise, why pay double for fresher version of the mall food court? The chef happened to be Hispanic. Another group of 3 adults and a child was seated with us, who also happened to be Hispanic. We 3 are not Hispanic. Prior to Chef's arrival, they ordered a few items in English with the server and spoke to the child in mostly English. The server returned and again spoke in English. Now the Chef arrives, greeted everyone and spoke English. And after confirming our orders, someone hit the SAP button and NEARLY EVERYTHING start to finish was en Espagnol. All attention and conversation was directed to them and only in Spanish. We tried to jump in with comments on the tricks or ask about the shrimp. He replied and quickly returned to them. After cooking, he even remained and spoke with them. At this point, we just called it a waste to try. This is AZ with a large Hispanic population. Got it. People may be more comfortable in their own language. Got it. But when your job is to engage and entertain EVERY patron at your table, you should do so without alienating the other HALF. And this isn't a bias towards a group or language. EVERY single person, Chef especially, demonstrated from the beginning their absolute proficiency in English. So even if the patrons chose to only speak Spanish, he could have easily replied in English in some effort to encourage a conversation with the whole table. 1 star for the food quality we expected 1 star for the great decor

A: New Year's Day in Vegas and after late night partying the night before, we had to catch a show. Everyone suggested the O show was the best so we bought the best ticket possible to treat ourselves for the new year. I've seen other Cique du Soleil shows such as KA, Mystere, and Zumanity, and didn't expect O to be too different from the other shows. I must admit, I like the O show far better than the others. Even though the concept' the same I enjoyed the production, custom, lighting and the experience far better than other Cirque du Soleil shows. Look I am not much of a musical or theatre type. I haven't even seen Phantom yet but I do appreciate the details and the production done well. One person from my group wasn't too impressed. I guess she was looking for amazing circus acrobat and so forth. I don't think people would love Cirque du Soleil if it was just a circus with animals and acrobatic performance. Like me, many appreciate the pageantry, music, lighting, stage, and rest which O show displays. I liked it better than Blue Man, Jubilee, and other performances in Vegas.

A:
Super friendly service. They offer a quad 20-oz latte for those who need a big fix. I get a decaf almond milk latte everywhere I go (when I can find almond milk) and it's really good here. Umpqua oats--one unsweetened option (yay), the others pretty sugary but still a healthy option. Otherwise, I only saw a few pastries in the case, and some GF cookies in the cooler. Four four-tops inside plus a small bar for seating, plus five small tables out front on the Univ Ave side. Little noisy, no sun cover, and not so private but nice option anyway for early morning. Bike parking, drive-thru -- all nice. Most importantly though, the coffee is really good. I'd give five stars for more pastry and GF options. Consider this a 4.5. Thanks Yelpers!
