A: I was surprised to find that a sushi restaurant in the desert had received two James Beard nods. After eating here, I totally agree that it deserves the recognition. This was my 1st omakase experience that was not just sushi. While the menu is heavily seafood-based, the variety of preparations and combinations of various elements was really quite lovely. The restaurant is spacious and serene but the chef takes reservations only (no walk-ins) so it's never full, very quiet adding to the feeling that you've escaped from the everyday hustle and bustle. the staff is knowledgeable about the menu. I will note that it seems more seasonal than changing every day. I left satisfied but not stuffed- feeling like i'd just floated out of a really lovely special occasion experience.

A: I've been to CPK a few times and I really don't think there's anything that great about it. My wife likes it so we go but I'm never very excited about their pizzas or food. I think it is a little pricey for what you are getting. I can eat one of their pizzas by myself and still be hungry and then I'm out $12. On the flip side, there really isn't anything wrong with it. The service is always fine and their food tastes good. I would just rather go somewhere like Settebello but when you have a pregant wife, what are you gonna do?

A:
We've been going to the Great Dane for years. We enjoy their food, but we encountered a hostess today that really made our experience unpleasant. We went specifically to dine in the outside garden. When we got there about half the tables were occupied. Some of the vacant tables were in the direct sun, some were either in the shade or had umbrellas. She wanted to seat us in the direct sun, and when we requested shade, she told us that because there were only two of us, those tables weren't availabe (despite at least one deuce being in the shade). She went back and studied her seating chart for awhile, like she was really being inconvenienced, and finally sat us at a table that was only partially in the sun. The food was good, our server was excellent, but when you begin the experience being told that you're not really valued because there are only two of you, it really detracts! (BTW, the vacant tables stayed vacant the entire time we were there.)
