We were so excited to come to Wicked Spoon because we read so many good reviews and raves from our friends. Big disappointment. The wait wasn't even a big deal (they seat first come first serve, not by party size, so we waited for almost an hour for a table for 2). The food selection was very large and impressive, but the actual taste of the food was so mediocre. I give them kudos for all the cool unique combinations and fusions they came up with (Sriracha watermelon, anyone?) However, most of the other dishes were just too salty or spiced an incorrect amount. (Avoid the Chinese food, if you can even call it that). In the end, I filled myself up with the mushroom pasta, which came in a cool metal ladle, and the steak. The rest of the items were just disappointing. The dessert selection, I will admit, is amazing. Most of the dessert items I tried were quite good. I wouldn't go back for the price of $41/person.

Scayles is one of Edinburgh's many music stores, and is perhaps one of the smallest. Selling a huge range of musical instruments including trumpets, guitars, tamborines and mandolins they will cater to almost your every musical need. We bought one of our guy friends a pink Ukelele from here for his 21st and filled it with condoms. It was only around 20, bargain! I saw a Spongebob Square Pants Ukelele in the window once and was mega impressed. This shop also had a good selection of accessories for a variety of instruments and music books to go with your instrument. There is also a board at the back which musicians use to find a new drummer/singer/whatever so a handy hint of your on the lookout for a band.

My wife and I used Brandon's Photography for some graduation pictures of our daughter and they were really good. We've used a number of experienced photographers in and around Scottsdale during the past decade or so, and would have no qualms hiring Brandon again. Good service and great pictures. Well done.

I wish I still lived in Scottsdale... only when I think about pure barre. I love the classes here and I really loved all the instructors. Women come here to work out. This isn't a social class where you can chat a little bit when there's down time to grab weights or mats etc. My boyfriend saw visible differences after I went three times (which is ridiculous, I know!) I have also never sweated so much from an indoor workout until I took pure barre classes. Literally, sweat pouring down my face (sorry for the visual) and sore for days after just one class. I'm actually signing up for a class in LA. It's pricy but worth it. They've got classes from 6am - 7pm. Tip: get the pure barre socks. They prevent you from slipping around and accidentally falling into a split that your legs and groin really can't handle. Trust me. This advice comes from experience. Tip 2: 70% of the women who attend these are super athletic, fit, probably used to be dancers or gymnasts. Don't be embarrassed if you're new and not as fit. Everyone is here to work out and the instructors are super kind and helpful.
