Problem: I love to fine dine whenever I can. My boyfriend and I decided to go to Flemings on Valentines Day ( made reservations way in advanced) and the dinner did not disappoint. Easy tied for the best meal Ive ever had with Flemings competitor Johnny's Italian Steak House. I honestly cannot decide who is better. They both are THAT good. My BF and I both order different cuts of steak. He had a ribeye and I had the NY Strip. Because the steaks doesn't come with a side, we shared an order of fries. Honestly, the steaks alone were enough because they both were gigantic. They had so much natural flavor and beyond this world tender. Before our meal came out, we were served bread as a starter and we ordered some shrimp from the menu. I believe you get 5 medium sized sauteed shrimp for roughly $14. Even though we didnt get a lot in quantity, the quality was superb. For dessert, we order this short bread cookie with vanilla ice cream and homemade freshly whipped cream. The whipped cream alone was good enough to eat solo. I have never tasted anything remotely close to being THAT fresh. I could not stop talking about how good it was. Same with the cookie. Service was top notch and the drinks were very strong. This is a fantastic place to go to do adults. Even if there isn't a special occasion, dinning here comes highly recommended. There was not one thing I could complain about. All around a 5 out of 5 star restaurant and experience. Yes, they are very, very expensive but that's the price you pay for a 5 star restaurant.

Problem: Had Carolina's for lunch yesterday. Just happened to be downtown with some clients I am consulting for. Got the beef enchilada combo. The food was great as always. I usually go for the burros, although I rarely get through a foot long (who could?). My colleagues got cheese enchiladas and chicken tacos. Everyone was very happy with the food, and we all left stuffed. They even paid! The only thing better then lunch at Carolina's is a free lunch at Carolina's.

Problem: I will preface my review by saying that I've got a thing for real well made bread. And a good part of the reason I enjoy making the trek to the market on Saturdays is for that very reason. It's not the only reason, but its good motivation. The market is open on Wednesday night as well, but I've only been here on Saturday mornings (I've heard the vendor selection is better on Saturdays). The market is setup in the parking lot of (appropriately enough) the Phoenix Public Market Cafe on Central & Pierce. On any given Saturday there's about 40-50 vendors selling everything from bread to produce, to jewelry, to housewares, to gardening items and other miscellaneous stuff. In addition there's usually a half dozen or so food trucks parked around the perimeter. If you're coming down and looking for a parking spot, your best option is down the street as the market lot is usually jammed at opening. The light rail also runs nearby (I'd use the Central & Roosevelt stop as its just a couple blocks north of the market). The vendors can vary depending on the week, but two that I've seen pretty much every weekend are One Windmill Farm and Arizona Bread Company. One Windmill brings a ton of fresh produce to the market and you'll often see local chefs buying produce here for serving their restaurants. Arizona Bread makes no less than a dozen varieties of bread (my favorite is their french sourdough) and allows you to sample whatever bread you want. I frequently grab food from both of these vendors as the quality is excellent. The one big plus about pretty much all the vendors I've been to is they take credit cards via Square, so no big deal if you don't have cash on you at the time. As farmers markets go in Arizona, this is certainly among the best you'll find. The variety of choices is not nearly as expansive as what you'd find at markets like Seattle's Pike Place or Philly's Reading Terminal, but nevertheless offers a good selection of items from a variety of local Arizona farmers and small businesses. And having the Cafe right next door means you can make a whole morning of grabbing a good breakfast and shopping for whatever grabs your attention. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday morning if you ask me.

Problem: Menu was nothing spectacular - pasta dishes were okay, but nothing to write home about. Prosciutto wrapped chicken was pretty good and their bread is addictive. The overall quality of the meal versus the high prices was not worth it.
