A: First fail: no Malibu. BUSTED! Second fail: not being able to use the empty parking lot on a Wednesday afternoon without valet parking. Really? Valet parking is used so you don't have to park a million blocks away and you pay for the convenience of having someone go run after it. Not so you can rape patrons by having them pay $8 to get out the car, drive 10 feet and park it. Third fail: bartenders these days in Scottsdale, where DO they come from? My friend ordered a dirty martini and he didn't know what that was... mon dieu, The Mint. And I really can't stand metro-Phoenix establishments ripping off classic L.A. names and trying to charge L.A. prices, trying to exude the hipsteriness *my word* is a clusterf-ck of proportions. Overall, not impressed and won't return.
Q: negative

A: This place is overhyped. The food is ok, the portions a bit small for the price. It's not the Oregano's of hot dogs like most of the reviews would lead you to believe.
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:

Answer: I stopped by for the first time on Wednesday morning at about 9:30 . I ordered their special, two sausage biscuits and a cup of coffee. I also ordered two country ham biscuits to go, (for my wife at home). The coffe was good and that's about it. The sausage was paper thin and could have been used as shoe leather. The biscuits were heavy and very chewy. My wife did say that the country ham tasted OK alone. Her biscuits were the same as mine. To add, I asked the cashier/biscuit maker if the biscuits were fresh and she said that she made them from scratch herself. VERY DISAPPOINTED !

Output: Always great! One of the best pizza crusts in the valley. Nice happy hour specials too. Also a big fan of their MyPie custom pizza place down the street.

output: I had been very excited to check out the Tea Loft and finally had a chance to drop in. While it had some good points, overall I would say it was ok, but both my friend and I felt there was something "off". The Tea Loft has the normal shelves of teapots like a Souvia or Starbucks, but then had tables set for a dinner menu that matched Cafe Boa. It felt like a tug of war between wanting to get an iced coffee to-go or order the salmon. It did have a few rooms in the back for large groups and they were beautiful. If you need a place for a shower, birthday or group, you should at least look at the back rooms. The desserts they had were exquisite and the tea I had was good, but there wasn't a large selection of teas. All in all, a mixed experience.

First off, let me preface this by saying that having spent many years living in Thailand, I am a Thai food snob and am ridiculously picky about the Thai restaurants I recommend... That being said, this is by far the best Thai food in the Phoenix, and surrounding, areas. My first experience was after having a tooth pulled. I needed to eat, but it needed to be soft, and I was craving Thai. So my amazing partner ran over and grabbed me some Pad See Eew and an order of crab puffs. The Pad See Eew was the best I've had outside of Bangkok. The flavours were perfectly balanced and it absolutely reminded me of home. They weren't stingy with the protein (chicken) and it didn't seem to be an Americanised version of one of my favourite Thai dishes. And the crab puffs... My partner had a couple and her response to them was, "These are the best crab puffs i've ever had!" Not your usual wonton wrapper stuffed with cream cheese with virtually no crab, these are filled with cheesy, crabby, seasoned goodness. So much flavour packed into such a little pouch. And they're served with a sweet chili sauce for dipping. The second time we ate there, we actually went to the restaurant. It was around 3:30pm on a Saturday so we were pretty much the only people in there. I ordered a Thai iced tea and my partner got a green tea. My Thai iced tea was perfect. Not to sweet, unlike many of the other Thai restaurants I've been to. The green tea was a little strong, and my partner says she's just going to get water from now on. Not because the drinks are bad, but because unlike the majority of restaurants, they serve purified water. Not tap water. MAJOR brownie points there! We, of course, started out with the crab puffs, which were just as good as the first time. I ordered yellow curry with chicken, and my partner ordered the cashew chicken, both Thai hot. Ordering food "Thai hot" can be hit or miss. Many places see the ginger hair and pale skin and figure they can dumb down the Thai hot and I'd never notice. F*ck that! When I say "Thai hot," I mean "Thai hot!" And that's exactly what we got. The cashew chicken was phenomenal. The smell alone brought back to living in Bangkok and eating at the noodle shop across from my school. It was spicy enough to make my nose run and leave that warm, tingly feeling in my mouth and throat but still had incredible flavour. My partner said it was "amazing." (She's not quite the foodie I am, so for her, that's a high compliment.) My curry was pretty damn good, too. Spicy, flavourful, full of large pieces of chicken as well as all the other good stuff (potatoes, carrots, etc). I could smell it as soon as it was set down and I knew it was going to be hot, and I wasn't disappointed. We had enough left over to take home and have for breakfast the next day. The portions are more than generous. Our server was extremely attentive. Almost overly so, but I was glad for that as opposed to being practically ignored, which can happen when you're the only patrons in a restaurant. He came over at least twice to make sure our food was ok, and always made sure to ask if there was anything else we needed, ie. napkins, more tea, water, etc. Being so stuffed I didn't get a chance to try their mangoes and sticky rice, but it's on my list since it's one of my favourite foods ever! The menu is extensive, with all sorts of noodles, stir-frys, curries, etc you can imagine. They have a lunch menu served daily til 3pm (including weekends) that have the same dishes for $6.75, which is what we plan on shooting for next time. If you like Thai food, this is a must-try!
