Cool restaurant that seems like it has been here forever. I think it was a converted men's shop that is now a plush lounge with a great menu. Relatively inexpensive with uber-cool decor, Hanny's is a great place to get the night started. We started with interesting cocktails that have really cool sounding ingredients and loved all of them! Some classics and new takes on old favorites. Absinthe for the daring...It should be noted that there is a heavy dose of fried egg on the menu. Knowing that fried eggs are good for defeating and preventing hangovers, I decided on the roast beef sandwich - 4/5 stars. The coleslaw with pistachios was MONEY, super good; everyone was stealing mine. And our friend who was splurging got the bacon wrapped prawns: killer combo, chow down on these and thank me later. Probably the highlight for me. Mysterious restroom setup and the elevator shaft? Super fun conversation pieces. Reclining sofas at the dinner table? Don't-mind-if-I-do! (Careful, this bedeviling machine caused wine to be spilled on my jeans!) Give it a shot before dancing in downtown Phoenix and you'll have a delicious time and feel very hip while doing so.

This used to be the Sunday go to place for steak. At first, it was great....the food, the service and the atmosphere. Slowly, over time, the menu has changed, the staff has changed and it's just not as nice as it used to be. My husband and I went there last night and they took all the side dishes off the menu and replaced them with french fries....huh? french fries???? They used to have the bomb pork chop...GONE, off the menu. Also, we must have sat for 5 minutes with no service...no water. I know 5 minutes doesn't seem like a long time but the place was empty except for a few people at the bar. We got up and left......went to John Cutter in Summerlin and had a fab meal. John Cutter will now be the Sunday go to place.

First of all... too modern of a japanese restaurant. Most of the clientele are hip caucasian people. a true japanese restaurant would serve you hot tea or Ocha as soon as you sit down. But here you have to ask for tea, water or others. Our waiter was a little arrogant. He seems put off by the fact that we don't drink.. nor care to drink. we ordered the Sashimi tasting menu $85 for 21 pieces. Sushi tasting with 13 pieces and 6 rolls. And Kobe Steak with Soy Garlic. We were.. still hungry... eventhough the total bill was $298!!!!!! not worth coming at all!!!

The Willy Street location of Lao Laan-Xang is very small but we were seated at a window seat on a beautiful Saturday and it was very comfortable. The service at Lao Laan-Xang was attentive from the moment we walked in and throughout the meal. The menu has a managable variety of dishes and many are able to be prepared vegetarian/vegan. The server guided me toward the squash curry with Thai basil and I am very glad he did. I ordered it Native Lao - a very manageable level of heat - and enjoyed the way the spiciness cut through the rich coconut cream. I look forward to trying the mango curry, another popular dish, as well as the Monday daily special of ginger tofu. The only drawbacks in my experience: there were not many appealing meat-free appetizers nor does Lao-Laan Xang offer brown rice. Considering the neighborhood it is in, I believe that they would have sufficient interest to merit both. Note: Lao-Laan Xang is not open on Sundays. Daily specials throughout the week make this a place worth visiting after work as well as on the weekends.
