Problem: The name of this restaurant screams classic Pittsburgh but once you experience it you will feel it screams ripoff. My coworkers and I went on a Saturday evening after work to celebrate the holidays and just wanted drinks and some appetizers. We had to sit at the bar (which was fine with us) but the noise level was way to high to hold a conversation. We ordered our drinks and the bartender gave two of us refills even though we said no thank you and we were forced to pay for them! The food was 50/50. We ordered a pizza which was very good and we all loved it. Then we also ordered the perogies. You got 4 perogies for $12 and they tasted like Mrs. T's frozen perogies! The bartender asked us how everything was and when we told him what our thoughts were he said that there isn't a manager on duty and he didn't have the authority to change our bill. We paid our tab and agreed never to go back.

Problem: This review is only for the Sunday happy hour, and I was only here for like an hour, but I really liked what I saw and wanted to write a review. I couldn't leave AZ without getting one last drink in my system. Seriously. A couple friends of mine who I didn't get to see much of on a recent weekend trip to Scottsdale wanted to see me one last time before I left and a couple hours before I needed to get to the airport we met up at Trader Vic's since they have Sunday happy hour. I had heard a lot of great things about Trader Vic's happy hour and I've always wanted to stop in when visiting the folks, but it seems like something always comes up or someone always suggests someplace else when I'm in town. From what I understand the Sunday happy hour is a little bit different from the weekly happy hour in that it goes from 4-9 pm (or maybe it starts even earlier? I forget.) and there's a different drink menu (there's about 6 or 7 specialty drink for $6 plus $5 wine specials and $3 pints of Stella and another beer...I believe Blue Moon but don't quote me on that). The same AWESOME/CHEAP food menu (2 & 3 bucks for several appetizers) still applies. Anyway, I had been drinking all weekend and wanted something fruity & refreshing so I got some sort of raspberry cooler. Honestly, I can't remember all that was in it, but it was delicious! My friend got a mint julep w/Maker's Mark, which I tasted and loved it as well! We weren't planning on eating anything, but we figured since everything was cheap, why not? We got the bruschetta (it had pesto, which added a kind of creamy texture that I LOVED) & the hummus, which was tasty as well. I like the atmosphere at Trader Vic's, and the band they have playing near the entrance adds a cool vibe. We sat at the bar and the two guys tending there were cool as well. Next time I'm in AZ I'll be back to Trader Vic's for a happy hour...I wanna try a burger and sweet potato fries!

Problem: The salad was excellent. The bread and butter was incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed the main entree of fettucini Alfredo. It was obviously made from scratch and tasted so good! Dont let the location fool you. What a great find.

Problem: My wife and I ate some food from here for take-out, we werent impressed. OK, but I wouldn't order from here again. I'm not sure why it got such high reviews, we just moved here and this is the first Chinese place we've been to so maybe this is good for the area, I don't know. The entrees were reasonably priced, but the appetizers were overpriced. $5-6 for crab puffs is way too much. My biggest complaint about the food is that in the Kung Pao Chicken we ordered the chicken wasn't the breaded and fried variety typical of american style Chinese food, and sauce wasn't very flavorful. Maybe they are trying to be more authentic with the chicken, but the rest of the dish was your typical americanized Chinese, so there was a mismatch there.
