Q: My roommate and I went to the PHX Burrito House for dinner. I ordered the shrimp burrito and it was really good they do NOT skimp on the shrimp at all. The service was great plus the layout and art is really cool! looking forward to trying something else on the menu but it was worth the trip!

Q: If you don't have taste buds or don't like food with any flavor then this is your spot. I went here with my wife for our anniversary. It was a friday night and the place was nearly a 1/3 full @7PM. That should have been our first sign that something was up with this place, but we decided to proceed with our meal. For appetizers my wife ordered the beef carpaccio with red pepper coulis, arugula and parmesan. I had the smoked swordfish carpaccio with frisee, and pistachios. The greens on our apps came out undressed, no olive oil, vinaigrette or and kind of dressing, forbidding the dish's true potential from being displayed. On my app all I could taste was the smoked fish, over powering everything else on the plate. The pistachios were unrecognizable (almost powdered-like) and the dish just felt/tasted incomplete and amateurish. Entrees my wife had the Dover Sole with cauliflower and mashed potatoes. I ordered the rack of lamb with pistachio crust. The Dover sole was presented and de-boned table side which is always a treat. She liked the fish but I thought it was overcooked since it didn't melt in your mouth and became ever more noticeable when I tried it without the sauce. The cauliflower and mashed potatoes were appalling.. Down right nasty and shocking that a place charging $$$ for food would serve such garbage. The potatoes were cooked and lightly mashed, then mixed with a little bit of pine nuts and garnished with micro greens. Not one hint of butter, salt or pepper. Definition BLAND, want-to-throw-it-in-the-chefs-face-disgusting! The cauliflower tasted like it had been blanched in unseasoned water and had as much flavor as the potatoes and probably my napkin. My lamb chops were also inexcusable and completely fowl. There was so much fat left on the chops that I honestly never had a single bite of the meat with the crust. Easy 50/50 ratio of fat left on the chops. The semolina gnocchi were also disgusting and midway through my entree I stopped because I felt like I was going to be sick. Our meal was graciously taken care of through a friend who works at the hotel, and when our entrees were cleared we immediately asked for the check. The server asked if we would like any dessert, but since how horrible our meal had gone we decided gellatto from JP would be the best choice. The staff mentioned that our friend picked up the bill and asked if we wanted to change our minds. We declined their offer and exited that grotesque shit hole. As for the service, we had about 4 waiters. Never knew which one was our main waiter and they did a horrible job presenting and selling the items on the menu. Only one of them had a personality and we thanked him for his humor as being the best part of our meal. We tried to remain as polite as possible since our meal was free, and left without mentioning anything to the gm or chef. I wish we could have, but I didn't want our friend to think we were ungrateful and receive any word of our unhappiness. Sirio is shocking! Shockingly BAD!! I never knew or could conjure up, that a restaurant on the strip on a Friday night could fuck food up as bad as this place. The feeling was reaffirmed the next morning which I spent praying to the porcelain god and pondering vegetarianism. I wouldn't wish our meal on my worst enemy. This place could seriously be on the next season of restaurant nightmares.

Q: I am not really sure why this place has such high reviews. So a few years ago we tried this place - it looks great from the outside and as we quickly discovered - terrible for the food. Fast forward to 2013 and my husband suggests we try it out again... I protest and he wins out. The food... again... not so awesome. the good: the service is great. Our waitress was just the right amount of attentive, friendly and efficient. Lacey is why this review has two stars instead of one. I also liked how the kids menu offered a mix and match of items and included fresh, raw carrots in addition to the veggie of the day and the usual suspects of fries. My daughter had the carrots and the grilled cheese and then a cookie we decided to wrap up fro later... she was happy. My husband was content his grilled cheese with bacon sandwich - with a side of fries. The bad: I had the pulled pork sandwich with the lug nuts (upcharge) on the side. First, the sandwich was served open face with no sauce on the pork. There was a strange serving of something that looked suspiciously like duck sauce on the side and was very spicy... not something I would pair with pulled pork. I decided not to use it and took a bite of the naked pork - it had like zero seasoning on it. yuck. we asked for BBQ sauce which - when added - improved the flavor but it was pretty meh.. I have made much better in a crockpot at home. Plus... mixed in with the tender bits were a number of pieces that were not braised enough - chewy and tough - sinewy even. I picked those pieces out since I decided to eat it with a knife and fork instead of as a sandwich. Now the lug nuts looked interesting on the menu - garlic and herb potatoes... yeah, garlic - I can totally get behind that! um, the reality was what appeared to be deep fried chunks of potatoes that were fried in grease that does not taste like it was changed in quite some time. it had an off flavor to it and the garlic and herb sauce was terrible - strong flavor that ruined you for really any thing else. After a second bite with the sauce scraped off I asked for fries instead - again, Lacy was gracious and took care of me... the fries were ok - again, tasted like they were fried in old grease but it was tolerable. I think this is it for me with the Double Wide Grill. I don't care how great it looks from the outside or how popular it seems to be. It really makes me question how discerning people can be to think it is great food and go back again and again. about 10 minutes after leaving heartburn set in and now a couple of hours later I still feel slightly sick to my stomach. No third chances... avoid at all costs. but should you decide to try it out - hopefully Lacy is your waitress.

Q: Like everyone else I give Artisans 5 stars! Thanks fellow "Yelpers" for the recommendation! I've been here three times now. The first for a pair of sandals I tore, and the second and third time to stretch pairs of two-hour ("killer") heels I thought would break-in over time...HA! I have several more visits to go to fix and polish what's left in my closet and now lament all the things given away that only needed polishing and stitching. That's what happens when you don't know, but now I (you) do! Great work, reasonable prices, a small business. There's nothing not to like!
