Q: To keep it short and sweet: Save yourself $100. Buy a good board game, your alcohol of choice, order a pizza, and invite your friends over. What an incredible disappointment. After seeing the enticing commercials so many times, we decided to give this place a try on a double date. I understand the prices of the play cards and won't dispute them; however, the food was incredibly over-priced, came out COLD (as in, sat on a counter without warmers for a minimum of 30 minutes) and I literally had to ask the bartender if there was any vodka in my drink. It was pure juice. $38 for three shots that had little-no alcohol in them. (Not to mention, my glass was dirty, and I saw the bartender scoop the glass into the ice basin because she was too lazy to use the sanitary scoop. I know the Food and Beverage Commission would be as disappointed as I was.) The service was terrible. Don't ask for anything from your waiter, as they are a little too busy on their cell phones or conversing amongst themselves. Was it fun to be in an adult-themed arcade? Yes. If you're looking for a good atmosphere to go with friends to play games, I suppose I would advise you give it a shot. I would never recommend their food, customer service, or drinks. Save yourself the money and stay home, or go for a traditional bowling, figure skating, roller-blading, rock climbing, basically any other physically-entertaining themed date instead.

Q: Forgot the straw... but still five stars! I was in Scottsdale for work, and wanted to relax in my hotel room after a long day of meetings. Not being from the area, I googled delivery, and Rome's Pizza came up. Friendly woman on the phone, and from previous reviews, she must be in the family of this self-owned and run business. My bolognese and fettuccine came within the promised half hour, and the food was fresh. Delivery guy was nice and friendly. Probably the most delicious delivery pasta I've ever had. Even the salad was fresh and I don't think it was prepackaged, as many pizza places do. Yes they forgot the straw for my drink, but I definitely recommend... for both in- and out-of-towners!

Q: I have now dined at 808 twice, both times with a $20 for $40 Groupon. While the food is good, it is not special and I probably will not return if I have to pay full price. My first visit had good service, good sushi chef at the bar, but unfortunate seating. I sat at the end of the sushi bar where the waitresses bring the tickets and there is a full view of the kitchen. While waiting a bit for the rolls to be made I watched the hustle in the kitchen and there are definite cleanliness and cross contamination issues. I was not impressed to say the least. My husband talked me into trying them again citing a busy night could have been reason for the issues. We were unfortunately sat in the same seats with a full view of the the kitchen. I witnessed the cooks handling raw meat of all kinds without hand washing in between and placing both raw and cooked items on the same surface. I am not sure if these are actual health code violations but they grossed me out at least. This was after receiving our rolls which were lacking at best and not being checked on by the wait staff. Overall, food is alright at a discount but I am not sure I can stomach it given what I saw go on in the kitchen.

Q: Right from the "get go" here I am going to qualify my remarks by stating that has been a little while since I have been to this restaurant, but if TRUE Portuguese food is what you crave then you are best to avoid this place like the plague! If, however, you have no experience with TRUE Portuguese cuisine then you may actually like this place. There is nothing wrong with the food or the service, it is just that this place is NOT the real deal when it comes to Portuguese restaurants. I discovered four glaring problems with this place. First off, when my wife (who is from Fall River, MA - which is practically a part of the Azores) and I arrived we were asked the one question never asked in a TRUE Portuguese restaurant which was, "Do you have a reservation?" When I advised that we did not we were told that we could not be accommodated, but that we were free to sit and order at the bar which was fine by me. This however, brings us to the second problem. When my entree came it appeared to look more like an appetizer than an entree. Now, those who know Portuguese cuisine know that you NEVER leave any TRUE Portuguese restaurant hungry. At this place I left hungry! :o( The third problem I discovered was that very few of the staff spoke Portuguese! This is a major "red flag" for anyone who knows Portuguese food. If the staff does not speak Portuguese then you "aint" eatin' in a Port-o-gee restaurant. Lastly, and I know all my Portuguese brethern will back me up on this item, this place is pricey! The best reason to go to a Portuguese restaurant is that Portuguese people are notoriously parsimonious so prices in real Portuguese restaurants have to be cheap else Portuguese people will not patronize. Thankfully, the Portuguese diaspora has brought many a Benfica fan to Canada and there are a lot of Portuguese restaurants in Montreal. Try any of the places on Boulevard St. Laurent in the vicinity of Duluth for the best that Portugal has to offer and steer clear of this place.
