Shady acres at this place. The Happy Hour apppears to be a great deal with 2-1 beers. Who knew that Cocoloco would charge $6 for a PBR draft? Seriously, that is a record, but this place is so upscale (cough, cough) that it feels like its cool to do that to us. Bartender says it is a more casual place now, yeah casual (cause it has a lifeguard chair?) with $14 burrito's. Next issue was 1/2 price appetizers. The cheese quesadilla was $6 and chicken was $3 making it $9 right? Not here, only the cheese is considered half- price and the chicken is extra. I didn't agree and too there credit, they were nice and changed it, but the bartender was a bit lippy and didn't really look good in his tanktop (put a female back there). I agree, its bon voyage for this place eventually.

We live about a 30 second drive from Grimaldi's, but I would still come here to eat great pizza even if it was a 30-minute drive. Usually we get it to go, but the times we have eaten in the restaurant it has been a nice relaxing experience. They have a great wine selection and one night I commented on a wine I really liked and the waiter was happy to show me the bottle so I could look for it the next time I was at BevMo. We usually start with the antipasti which is so good I keep saying I'm going to go back sometime and get the large antipasti order and just have that with a couple of glasses of wine. Our standard order is the large pesto with sausage and mushrooms and the large calzone with meatballs. Those two items are so good we haven't tried much of anything else. Yes, it's a little pricey, but compared to what? The national chains? I read somewhere that Domino's food costs per pizza are just over $2. I'd rather pay more for quality and fresh ingredients. Not just cheap pizza to soak up the beer in my belly. And that pesto pizza warmed up in the oven the next morning with a fried egg on top is wonderful! I highly recommend trying that.

Delicious, charming, and chic. This yelp review is based off the Yelpy Hour that Cowfish so graciously hosted. Lemme tell ya, you need to call ahead for seats, at least on a Thursday night. This place was PACKED. 35 minutes for a table. Good thing us Yelpers had a reserved section. Plate after plate of different, yummy food was brought out, so I got to have the sushi, burger, and extras. Sushi: To DIE for. They had such interesting fusion! Normally I like to go traditional, but I'm glad I got to try these new favorites. I can't really identify any of the roles that I ate for free besides the obvious salmon or tuna laying across the top, but they were all great. We actually decided to stay for dinner after, it was so good. We ended up getting the Tuna Nachos, and the Motherload. Those tuna nachos... damn. They make my mouth water just thinking about them. Very large, flat nacho with rich, creamy crab rangoon dip spread over it, some greens and spices on top of that, and then tuna sashimi on top. So, so good. The only thing is that the seasoning on the Tuna (which almost tasted like ginger), while good on the tuna, seemed to clash with the rest of the crab rangoon/chip ensemble. That wasn't a problem for me, since I merely ate the sashimi first, then delved into the chip. The Motherload is a $23 sushi platter that has all the fish on the menu. When we ordered it, the waiter assured me that this was not for sushi beginners, and we might see some stuff we hadn't previously discovered. I love your deeper, untraditional Americanan sushi, and was excited. However upon receiving the order, it was pretty much all normal stuff on there. Delicious yes, but normal. Delicious rolls with white fish, tuna, salmon, and fillet, topped with flying fish roe. The sashimi consisted of a few slices of octopus, a very large sweet shrim (my favorite), and sliced scallop (second favorite). The scallop was topped with salmon roe. There was also a tempura-fried prawn in a spring roll with peanut dipping sauce, which I am glad to say, also came with the head on the plate (gotta love sucking out those prawn brains! ... I may have scarred my dinner partner for life in doing so, though.). All in all delicious, but I think pretty standard sushi fare. Burgers: I don't know what they were. Little sliders that were flavorful, covered in sauces and condiments, different veggies, and were very juicy. Delicious. Extras: Fried pickles: they were there. They are what they are: good, but nothing to write home about. Chicken skewers: platter of very flavorful and moist marinated chicken. Not a huge chicken onna stick person if there's sushi around to be had, but these were great little noms. Edamame: Lightly salted, gently steamed, and delicious Drinks: My vodka collins was always refilled, and though not extremely flavorful, very strong. Got to try some 'carbonated' sake. Usually a stickler for traditional warmed plum, this was actually pretty good, very fruity. Glad I got to try it. I'm sitting here, writing this review with my mouth watering. I want to go back. Nay, need to go back. And since it's bound to happen since I have another Living Social deal, keep me posted for an updated review!

experienced our first bout with real discrimination today at the Salty Senorita near Arrowhead Mall. To prepare for Cinco de Mayo, all of the handicapped spaces were barricaded to allow for the anticipated lines to the entrance. I approached one of the staff members and advised them that my husband is disabled and required access (not to mention it being ILLEGAL and a FEDERAL OFFENSE to not offer disabled parking spaces). Other staff members joined the conversation and advised that this was a special event so they had the right to block off the spaces. "Oh really? Where is your permit?" I asked. One guy looked at my husband and said loud enough for me to overhear - "he's not really handicapped anyway"..... LOOK DUDE - walk a mile in my husband's shoes and you'll know what it feels like to have a titanium rod in your leg, metal pins holding your spine together and enduring head trauma that required TWO craniotomies, a liver laceration, 7 broken ribs and internal damage that left a scar from nipple to hip. When you've done that, you'll understand how he deserves to park just a little closer to your establishment than someone who doesn't have those issues. PRICK! Lucky for you, my husband didn't have his cane with him or I would have knocked you off your feet with it. To all my Phoenix area friends, please boycott Salty Senorita's... we will be contacting all of the social media outlets (Yelp, Trip Advisor, Facebook, Twitter, etc) to post this indicent and ask for any assistance you can provide. THANK YOU!
