Imminently forgettable. Bland, boring, and tasteless. I tried the fried alligator appetizer and the jambalaya for the main course. The best part of the jambalaya is the andouille sausage, and that's not saying much. The shrimp were as tasteless as the chicken and the rice was worse than tasteless. And it's not spicy. A jambalaya that isn't spicy? That makes as much sense as calling white chocolate chocolate.

They get an extra star for putting in the effort to have frogs legs and alligator on the menu, though the alligator was so drowned in aioli that all you can tell is you're eating fried...something...in aioli. I got the distinct impression they only have these things on the menu to seem edgy, which is a huge disappointment.

All this with New York prices make for a fairly lame experience. Granted, this is right in tourist central, but for some reason I was hoping to get more than the usual tourist razzle dazzle and sky-high prices. I was very wrong.

I went a few days ago to test the waters out. I sometimes live in a box and had never heard of "Crossfit" before. I've worked out in a traditional gym environment all my life and am currently seeking something to mix it up a bit.

Matt (one of the co-owners) gave me a great introduction of the facility and concept behind "Crossfit". I left feeling fully informed on what I could expect if I decided to join their program. He was friendly and energetic. I was on the tail end of a long day and probably could have been a bit more excited rather than so tired.

I would generalize this as a "Burst-Workout" if I could pick a description. Try to do as much as you can in the least amount of time. Its a very unique angle to approach fitness in my opinion. I could see a benefit in training like this to many degrees.

I would highly suggest this training for:

Pre-Academy
Fire Fighters
Military Prep
Triathlon Conditioning

I have absolutely no doubts that if you train here first you will be more than ready to pursue an aggressively fit demanding career or challenge.

As for me personally it was too intense. My days are too long to summon the energy needed for these types of workouts. Although in a parallel universe where I'm 5 years younger and I had less to focus on I'd be there every day!

Let me first say that this review is tainted by the most incredible service I've received by any server; this was from a waiter named Yainnis. He was EXACTLY what you'd want for a server. He was helpful in knowing what to order (and not just the 'push the chicken,since it's about to turn' type of questions). I took 6 people into this place, ordered abundant appetizers, meals for all, and dessert for two. Our bill was $140, and then I put on a $30 tip. Compare THAT to my previous reviews.

Price: absolutely horrendous, and completely Scottsdale-like
Service: impeccable, and of the highest order. Yainnis can serve anyone, and make them feel right at home.
Taste: Everything was wonderful, spicy but not hot, yummy and completely filling. Each one of us walked out with half our entree, and we even had one person in our party who was decidedly anti-Greek food who went and enjoyed every dish they tried! I couldn't have enjoyed it better unless it were closer to home, and priced like normal anti-Scottsdale food.

If you can overlook the price, you will DEFINITELY enjoy it!
