Q: i like this place when they have it all together. some times the service is great sometimes not so much. Sometimes the food is good sometimes its great. but its always good and they have a ton of beer to choose from both on tap and bottles. go before 7 for the happy hour and the best drink and food prices.

Q: I like this boutique because they offer a very wide variety of clothes and accessories that were made in Canada -- actually, mostly from Quebec designers. It is great if you are willing to pay a bit more (usually more than 100$ per dress) to encourage local economy. Because I pay attention to the country of origin of the clothes I purchase, it is very easy to shop there because I don't have to look at every single label to know where the item was made. There are a lot of dresses that fit different styles: funky or traditional. Their salespersons are nice and competent. They give advice without being too pushy. The one thing I was less satisfied about is that one of the dresses I bought was made out of stretch fabric, such that the shoulder straps would extend and the dress would go down too low as I wore it. (Nothing I could see at the time I tried it on.) I called to know if they could fix it (they have a workshop at the boutique), but they said that the only type of adjustments they make is to shorten dresses that are too long. That's disappointing when you just paid a lot of money for a dress. I was ready to pay them for the work but they are just too busy to take care of that, and they do not know of anybody else in the neighborhood who can do those adjustments. Still, I am planning to go back next time I need a dress for work, a formal occasion, or a dressy night out.

Q: Tasty new addition to the Old Town Scottsdale area. Went on their opening day for lunch, then back again for dinner. They're still working out new-place kinks, but nothing serious. For lunch I had the spicy brat and sweet peppers. For dinner the chorizo sausage and chutney. You can't go wrong on either the basic or premier sausages, but if you're unsure what to try go for a sweet/spicy combo. Like the spicy brat and a sweet topping, or sweet brat and spicy toping. If you like sauerkraut, it's all homemade (like the sausages) so give it a try. If you don't like sauerkraut, you're a strange person and should probably not go to a bratwurst house. And I feel bad for you. I'm sorry. Where was I... oh yes, their belgian fries are great, and I am a fan of the sriracha aoli dipping sauce. Of course, they pretty much had me at "sriracha". Their beer list is very well rounded. I'm not a huge fan of belgians and german beer, so was a little worried, but there is plenty of great beer there to drink across the whole spectrum. Chatted up Ben The Beer Baron for a while, and he definitely knows his stuff. Don't be shy about asking him for recommendations.

Q: This is not your upscale bar in Scottsdale, which is why I like it a lot (that and the $2 Coronas...). The food is serviceable and not expensive, the people are real and down to earth for the most part. Because of it's location you do get quite a mix of people. It can get pretty crowded in the evenings. They have a great outdoor seating area, and if you're in to sports, several large screen tv's. I love it as a place to meet people...
