[Q]: Ah, Bricktop's...so conveniently located near the mall but not AT the mall. This is pretty clutch, IMO, as I don't like to fight the crowds to score a salad.

I've been to Bricktop's many a time - for a casual lunch to a late dinner. Every time I've visited I've been happy with my meal and the service - seriously, ever server has been oh so friendly and accommodating. Their patio is pretty great for a leisurely meal alfresco and even their bar is fairly roomy. While I've sampled a few different items here, I have a few absolute favorites:

Ahi Tuna Salad: A super generous and light salad with avocado, mixed greens, mango and a hearty portion of delicious seared tuna. I ask for the dressing on the side and sometimes the greens can be a little overdressed.

Guacamole: Ok, you won't believe me until you try it, but Bricktop's guac rivals Cantina's. No joke. It's really, really flavorful!

Griddle cookie sundae: It's magical. It's a cookie baked in a small cast iron skillet, topped with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and doused in chocolate sauce. It's warm, gooey perfection. I dream about this dessert. Note that it take 10-15 minutes to bake the cookie, so be patient for your dessert!

It's a wee bit on the expensive side for a casual dinner, but it's tasty nonetheless. Yay for Bricktop's!

[Q]: Ate here months ago. Was excited to finally find a Phoenix sushi venue, and one that also offered brown rice as a sub for sushi dishes (don't quote me on this however, since it has been many months and I may be recalling another venue).

One item did impress me, and that was the complimentary appetizer that was comprised of tempura'd chips with perhaps a squid salad topping (?) I should have just ordered another serving of this! Instead, I tried an Ao Yasai (mixed gourmet greens with ginger) and a sushi roll w/ brown rice, the latter I thought was price-y considering the very small portion given. I was so unimpressed by its unexciting flavors that I don't even recall what kind of roll I tried! Pretty sad, I know.

I told myself I wouldn't go back, but I would like to give Hana another try, perhaps for lunch and/or dinner with a group of friends and have apps and wine/sake!

[Q]: Some tips from somebody who has spent a lot of time riding rides in her day:

1. It's a clusterfword. You know how at Disneyland they ask how many in your party and they assign a row for you to sit in? Not here. They just throw you up on the loading dock and have you fend for yourself. This can lead to some awkward situations figuring out how many people need to go in the rows ahead of you so your whole party can be together.

2. I feel like as far as safety is concerned, you're on your own. I'm about to be hurled at 70mph above a busy intersection, the least you could do is make me feel like I'm strapped in correctly. Maybe I was and I just need people to hold my hand before I'm put on a thrill ride.

3. Nevada locals get buy one/get one free for their whole party...major score considering the coaster is A whopping $14pp.

I wouldn't be back but it is a fun family thing for Vegas visitors. And just make sure your own little ones are strapped in tight.
