Problem: Great service and clean. Awful food. Great milkshakes.

Problem: Growing up in Tempe I always thought this was THE liquor store, mind you as a kid riding in the back seat of my parents station wagon. They had the flashing lights on their sign, the awesome location, a drive through so you don't even have to get up out your car to get that bottle surrounded by a black plastic bag. Well when I became of age to purchase legally, I realized there is no reason to drive past 30 liquor stores (aka 4 miles in Tempe) to get to this one so I never went. Groupon enticed me in with their $20 for $40 deal on liquor. I finally went in and used it the other day and pretty much disappointment for a liquor store. These guys will be a-okay because they practically on the ASU campus, people will drive through on the way to a football game to grab their drinks, and again, ASU. If you have a bit more time, go elsewhere because I felt like I was buying liquor in the lobby of a Las Vegas hotel with these prices. Otherwise, location, location, location.

Problem: So, I decided on Canal for happy hour this week. The location is great and the venue is very swanky yet comfortable inside. They play obscure videos/fashion runway shows on a giant projection screen in the main dining room. The music was a really good mix from Portishead to Amy Winehouse. When we showed up it was pretty dead. At 5pm on a Wednesday night I was surprised that there were so little people there. They make a damn good Grey Goose martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. I also tried a sip of the pear martini and that was also delicious! They have a whole menu of specialty drinks and although I didn't try any, I definitely was tempted...the Goose reigned on a Wednesday night though. We tried several of the appetizers which I thought were pretty good. My favorite was the Grilled Cheese & Tomato Bisque. The sandwiches came in bite size portions in which you drizzled the Bisque on top...it was lovely. I also really enjoyed the Parmesan Fries. My date ordered the Sweet Corn Cakes which I wasn't a huge fan of. They were a little cold and bland...but I do like lots more flavor than I ever saw that little cake packing. The service was great and the waiters were very attentive to our needs. Plates were cleared and drinks were filled immediately. It obviously had nothing to do with the fact that the place was dead...Ha! This is a great date spot...follow my lead and grab a cozy couch on the patio...the view of the sun set was amazing.

Problem: My wife sells seafood for a living and visit a lot of different fine restaurants, this one by far is my favorite in the valley. You must try the eggplant I have not liked eggplant all my life but what this gifted chef does with it is amazing!
