A: The best pizza this side of the Mississippi!

Q: positive

A: Since I misread the menu prior to coming here, I didn't end up with what I wanted. The express lunch specials are available on weekends, but only before 3pm. After that, the early bird specials kick in which are all pasta with sauce items, but lunch includes baked dishes which I think are better in this place. Both of those deals are $7.50 and includes their antipasto salad, which is pretty good with olives, salami (which I hate) and other ingredients tossed right in front of your eyes. The ciabatta bread is top notch and it was dipped in the classic olive oil and balsamic mixture for a good start to the meal. Since we also arrived at Happy hour, we got a huge dish of fried appetizers for $5 highlighted by the two giant fried ravioli's that might have been the best ever in that category. The fried tortelloni was also unique and we had three dipping sauces to choose from (the best being red pepper cream). Finally, we each had a pasta dish. Her penne with meat sauce didn't dazzle and my alfredo sauce had a good hint of garlic and worked well over the angel hair. The chicken though that was included was not good at all, tough to cut and rubbery. We atre right at the bar and they have a few TV's available. At the last minute, added two cannoli's for $4.50 and those we found out were made fresh in house and dusted with pistachio nuts, a touch not seen often before. The stuffed shells and the baked pastas looked great, so I will return for lunch. Oh and if you go to lunch of saturday or sunday, you can pick any specials of the entire week to eat for $7.50 with bread and salad.

Q: negative

A: I'm surprised people rated the food here 4 stars(30 reviews at this time), clearly the customer service is warm and friendly, but the food is not good. Seems much more Filipino, which was sad, because I was craving some good Mexican after we hiked Camelback. Again, service is fantastic(probably why the reviews are so high) but the food is not good.

Q: positive

A:
The funky-looking sake bar looks a little more upscale than you'd expect otherwise for this restaurant, which specializes in yummy comfort-filled noodles, dumplings, and other delicious items. Definitely overlook the outside of the building and give them a try. I've encouraged meat-eaters and vegetarians alike to try them and everyone's been very happy with this choice of restaurant. The smoked tofu dumplings really embody the umami concept, while the ramen bowls are huge and savory.
