A: "If veggies always tasted like this, I would have eaten all of my veggies as a kid" Everything about my experience was pretty fantastic. So let's break it down (1) ambiance - 4/5 (2) service - 5/5 (3) food - 4/5 Ambiance - This place is very welcoming and adds to the idea they want to be transparent and emphasize that everything is made with TLC. You can stand at the entrance and see through the whole restaurant. It's nice there are not a lot of obstructions from one table to the next to the kitchen to where the staff was rolling the silverware. The open windows allows the natural light to make this place very open as well. Why the 4.. well... the tables are so close together and it was hard to move and harder for the staff to ask us things or bring us our food without having to navigate the matrix. Service - Service was absolutely fantastic. I was there with a large group who did not all arrive at the same time. That did not stop the waiter from asking us did we need anything while we waited and then come back and ask that as our party straggled in. To add to that, I loved how the staff would just jump in and help our server regardless if that was their table or not. It ensured we did not have to wait and that the server could be more effecient and effective. For example, one of the staff persons, walked over and took a ton of menus from our server so that he could focus on us and not menus, holding, not dropping, and us. Food - The food was amazing. We started with the Vegetable crudites, Edamame dumpling, dumpling like things and hummus. The vegetable crudites blew me away. If veggies tasted that good ALL the time, I would probably eat more of them more often. I mean it was beautifully presented and extremely fresh. There were veggies on there I might not eat on a regular, but it may have changed by mind. The other items were just okay. They didn't wow me. For a refresher I had the pomegranate limeade which was quite refreshing! So the entrees - I had the trout and the kale salad. When I tell you this kale salad was plentiful and absolutely delicious.. I was speechless at how tasty this was. I am going to have to recreate this.. It was so simple but flavorful. The trout was meh.. It was cooked well but so salty that I could only eat half. I guess between the capers and the olives, and the sauce it was a bit overpowering. I can't wait to get back there! Everyone was super friendly and it's nice that my food is made with TLC.. just like (or pretty close) to how I would make it at home.

A: Heart and Soul is our go-to, but it was closed last night for a private party. We had been to Gallagher's one time before, it was okay, so we crossed the parking lot for a second visit. It will be our last. I thought the Yelps I had read from previous diners were a bit harsh, but last night we got the full "Gallagher's experience". Sign at the reception desk said: seat yourself. We did, after searching thru a mostly empty dining room for a clean table. We sat there maybe 5-6 miutes without a sign of a single staff. I looked at my watch about then---7.45. That's why I know it was twelve minutes later that the server finally showed up, sans menus. She asked for our drink orders and then said, "Oh, I guess you guys want menus?" (Um.,..yeah.) About 5 minutes later, a Hispanic guy shows up with menus and asks if we'd been taken care of. We said yes and he starts to walk away and we are like: wait---leave the menus. He gives us this frantic look, like we are mugging him for the squares of laminated paper, but then he reluctantly hands them over. (Score one for our team!) A few minutes later, our server shows up with our drinks and some menus and she frowns at the menus we had scooped from the guy, puts our drinks on the table and starts to walk away, and DH says: no, wait, we are ready to order. (We did't want to take the chance of losing her!) I got the fish and chips, DH got the Cobb wrap with onion strings. It arrived fast and ice-cold. My chips (fries) were limp and greasy, fish was crispy looking and golden brown, but interior was dry and stringy---can we say over-cooked? DH said his wrap was bland and dry---the tortilla was so bereft of moisture it was sucking the saliva out of his mouth. His onion strings would have been delicious hot---they were surprising good even cold and congealed. He did ask for some mayo to try to lube up the wrap, and seriously---she brought him about a teaspoon in a small black cup. (Gotta watch those food costs!) The manager did do a drive-by a few minutes after we got our drinks but before our food arrived---how can I answer "how's everything guys?" when "everything" is iced tea and water with lemon? (BTW, the iced tea was very good!) He never came by to check in again. Neither did the server, although she did drop off the check about three minutes after the food---that's when DH was able to ask for the mayo. Like another Yelper, we paid cash so we didn't have to endlessly wait for change and then got the heck out of there. And no, we didn't leave a tip. If our server didn't care about our dining experience, why should I care about her working experience? Frankly, horrible service and horrible food. You know, we desperately need another reasonably-priced "family" restaurant here in Cave Creek/Carefree---but Gallagher's isn't it. So if you ever wonder why an attractive place with a decently varied menu is always mostly empty---read and believe the Yelps--I think they are only still open because they have like a bazillion tvs and (no pun attended) they are like the only game in town for that level of restaurant.

A:
My hubby's been a member of the Gainey Village for over 10 years. As for me, after having memberships at numerous other Valley health clubs (Bally, Mountainside Fitness, Golds, etc.), after much debate, he finally convinced me to join the Village about three years ago because my favorite yoga instructor (Harmony) teaches classes there. Yes, the Village is pricey, but if you're a total gym rat like me, you'll find it worth it. There are always fresh towels, great-smelling lotions and shampoos in the locker rooms, freshly-cut lemons (the Gainey location only), clean equipment, and top-notch fitness instructors for their varied workout classes. I've been working out my entire life, and I've got to say, DMB's three Village locations (D.C. Ranch, Gainey, and Camelback) all rock and have slightly different vibes going on at each. As for Gainey, it doesn't have all the space and lacks the family-oriented pool available at D.C. Ranch Village, and the tennis courts and hip bar at the Camelback Village, but if you're looking to get in a good workout or yoga class, it definitely fits the bill. Yoga is my daily addiction, and you can't go wrong with the yogis teaching there. I also like that the cardio equipment faces the basketball court, so you can catch some b-ball action while working up a sweat. Plus, if you keep your eyes open you might run into Charles Barkley, Steve Nash, or even Josh Halloway from "Lost." Is this a gym for everyone, probably not. You will see a lot of slick, artificially-enhanced women and older guys trying to pick them up (it can be a bit of a meat market, similar to a lot of gyms), but if you like the combination of amenities, which include a lot of special events, trips, and fitness classes, along with regular gym stuff, you'll enjoy Gainey Village.
