We had a great beef pho. The owner was extremely kind and let us grab some takeout even as they were closing. We sat outside and enjoyed a great meal.

The food was ok. For the price there is definately better pizza. (CIBO,$11 Avg.) but for west, north valley its fair. We got the fries(wife loved them) wings(ok) and the SOP pizza(i didnt like it, tasted plain pepperoni was alot better). We went during happy hour(craft beer only $2.50, loved that) What upset me was like the previously Steve r. Mentioned; theres was about 5 parties waiting and 4 empty tables that were just standing there. I mentioned to my wife that it was ridiculous and we should go somewhere else, they mightnhave heard because they sat us down right after that. Waitress seemed like she would try to avoid us so we wouldnt ask for anything else. So i had to tell her to wait a second so she could pay attention. Bottom line: Firt time im not impresed. i will come back and hopefully it better.

This store is a TRUE shop-a-holic's DREAM. There should be separate reviews for Topman and Toshop because we had very different experiences in both ends of the store and technically the two are pretty separated. Topshop: I frequented this store in NYC when I lived there and now I live in Miami which unfortunately does not have Topshop. I saw it advertised EVERYWHERE that Topshop was opening in LV upon my recent trip there. I went to the H&M Marni line opening and it was horrible. I did not really like anything but then again that's really not my style. We then went over to Topshop and it was NOT open. I was really surprised. How could you advertise something being open and then not put the time if it's not early in the morning? I figured it would be open early but to my surprise it was not open until 4:00pm. I was reluctant to return but since we were playing poker at the Wynn later, I decided to check out Topshop which is right across the street, literally. So at around 5:30 I strolled in and immediately started grabbing things left and right. 4 girls added things to my room until one girl offered to take me into the personal shopping room and help me there. The personal shopping room is GORGEOUS. It's very Miami chic. White sofa all around (which was great for my fiance who after 5 minutes would have wanted to leave the topshop store). This gave him some room to sit down and wait for me to try on 20 things. I asked my specialist Lauren to look at my clothes and pick me out something that she liked. I was really looking for a pair of sequined shorts and could not find any that looked good on my body type. Lauren, I don't know how she did it but magically from the heavens she brought me a pair of shorts that fit my body type BETTER than a glove!!! The style of the shorts was also PERFECT and exactly what I was looking for. The color matched a blazer that I had recently bought in Miami and I was so excited to wear the blazer with these shorts. She found me really cute styles and I was really impressed. They offered coffee, water, CUPCAKES, etc... Honestly, if we did not go into the personal shopping room I wouldn't have found half the stuff that I did and we wouldn't have spent $700+ (WITH my 10% student discount, yikes!) The styles: Very glittery, flashy, eye catching, and unique. Nothing you will find at any other store in this price range. My glitter shorts were $150 and they look like $1,000+. When I was back in Miami wearing them with my new blazer a group of men actually asked me how much they were. It is expensive but that's fashion. The materials are pretty good for the cost. ***If you are reading this before going to Topshop MAKE SURE to make an appointment with a personal shopper. ASK FOR LAUREN. She helped me out and was soooo amazing.*** All the girls that work at Topshop are gorgeous (can only speak for the opening) but don't intimidate. I really love this concept. Also a PS- in the personal shopping room we saw the owner of topshop worldwide! My fiance had read an article about him and so he knew what he looked like and the owner popped into the room and my fiance told me that was the owner (the other girls confirmed) so you never know who you will see here!

Well, I hate to do this, but feel I must. I have lived in Scottsdale 25 years now, and have been to the Sugar Bowl many times. I love the nostalgia of an ol' fashioned ice cream parlor; it reminds me of my childhood and eating hot fudge sundaes at the dairy parlor in Wisconsin. I love the Bil Keane Family Circus caricatures hanging on the walls. BUT... my visit to the Sugar Bowl on Tuesday, May 26th, with WI relatives, may be my last. First of all, the prices on just about every food item are outrageous, considering this is not a fancy place by any means. $10.95 for a lunch size chef salad? $8 for a small egg salad sandwich on wonderbread? Oh, the sandwich does come with stale potato chips, too. Second of all, the service was lousy. Our waitress, who had "1968" displayed under her name on her name tag, certainly did not display the wealth of superior customer service one would expect from someone with 41 years of waitressing experience... just the contrary. No warm welcome to the Sugar Bowl, no friendly smile, just a stern "what do you want?" to take our orders. After waiting 20 minutes for our food, she came back to our table and announced "Sorry, but the printer in the kitchen ran out of paper, so I need to retake your order". Okay, after repeating our orders, thinking that maybe our lunch would be "on the house" (or, at least, getting some sort of compensation), she just walked away without a word. My lunch companions thought this was so odd (again, where's the awesome customer service one would expect from an establishment that should pride itself as being the highlight of the West's most western town???). So, when she came back to our table to deliver a shake that my niece ordered, I piped up and asked "So, do we get free ice cream sundaes for having to wait so long?". To our surprise, she said "No.". After seeing our surprised looks, she suddenly changed her mind and said "Well, you can get that shake free.". Okay, so we got something free out of the deal, but we all were extremely disappointed and bewildered. Why? Because we had to ask. Doesn't a waitress with 41 years experience have any clout with the management to be empowered to offer compensation to a customer in order to promote great customer service (and ensure that the customer comes back as a repeat customer)? The Sugar Bowl used to be a fun, inviting place to have an inexpensive lunch and enjoy a sweet dessert. Now, it seems to be going downhill... fast. I noticed that other, recent reviews have noted the same thing, and not many "stars".
