Problem: This place is WAYYYY too full of itself and substandard to receive anything more than a single star rating. First off, their ID checkers have the arrogance and attitude of New York club bouncers - Hey fellas, don't flatter yourselves, it's a crappy dive bar (just because you get some low-end Scottsdale yuppies as regulars doesn't mean you're big time, K?). Thought they were bouncing at Studio 54 or something... Next up, the last two times I lowered my standards and entered this place I GOT NO SERVICE. AT ALL. I stood/sat up at the inside bar for a full 5 mins. once, and like a minute the next time, and said "Fuck this place. I'm never coming back here". Then, when I went to leave, I had to go through a phalanx of overly self-important security goons, and basically told them off. It's kind of a shame, too, because this place is like a 10 min. walk from my house. No, on second thought, it's no shame at all. For me. The shame is on them. Whatever!

Problem: Holy crap. Not only is this place in an awesome location but it has one of the few menus that I literally could not decide what I wanted to eat. It's a strange little corner spot that Nourish occupies and the layout is a bit on the minimalist side but that's okay. They have a nice patio and their air conditioning system does a good job keeping you cool inside. The hostess and waitresses were all very nice and helpful and really everything is very appealing about this place when you come in. Now let's get down to the food. So many things to choose from. We started with some Mac & cheese and with a bowl of chili. The mac & cheese is not your creamy style but rather the crunchy kind. That's not really what I want when I order mac & cheese but this stuff was really tasty. The Three Bean Chili was REALLY good. It was pretty spicy though, so be prepared. For my entree I went with the Spicy Southwest Burger with a side of sweet potato fries. I had the burger on a challah knot. It was a strange compound of potatoes & beans made into a patty topped with avocado and cucumbers. Sounds weird but it totally worked. I would order extra cucumbers next time. The satisfying crunch of them breaks up the soft textures of the potatoes, beans, and avocado. The challah knot bun was AWESOME and one of the best pieces of bread I've ever had. Finally, the masterpiece of Nourish is their Sweet Potato Fries. I will go on record as claiming these to be THE BEST sweet potato fries in the valley. That means BETTER than Fez and WAY better than Delux. They are air fried which means they are healthier than your normal fries & they are lightly covered in cinnamon (and something else I can't quite decide). The thing that makes them so great is their accompanying side of dipping sauce. I don't know what it is or what god they had to kill to procure it, but it should be bottled and sold. The combination of the two makes Nourish worth the stop if only for a mid-shopping trip snack. You don't have to be a vegan to come here but at least it is a place you can go and get normal food & keep your friend's dietary needs in mind. Check it out.

Problem: On on November 17, 2011 went to Shula's steak house and below are the reasons why I was disappointed with the food and the service" 1. We ordered a bottle of wine to the table and when the waitress poured the wine, she spilled it on our plates where we were eating bread and butter. She then poured the 2nd glass and never even acknowledges there was a spill nor bothered to clean it up from the plate. 2. Our dinner took longer than expected - we waited about 45-55 minutes to get 2 steaks with sides as requested. In most cases, steaks will not take an hour to cook or at least the waitress should give us heads up that it will take about an hour to get our food to the table. I was very disappointed that our food took over an hour to come to the table. 3. The 12oz steak which was served to me was prepared well done as I asked for it to be medium - as you know there is a big difference between the 2 temperatures of the cooking the steaks. I ate one bite and couldn't eat the rest. Since our food took about an hour to come to the table, I didn't want to get another steak because it would have taken another hour or so for another steak. 4. Over the course of the night - I was very fed up with the food and most importantly fed up with the waitress as she lacked to be honest with her customers and no sense of professionalism if you make a mistake apologize! It's not a big deal clean it up and listen to your customers. This was a special dinner as this was my anniversary and I was very unhappy and displeased with the entire environment. My girlfriend kept saying don't worry it's nothing and it's ok. But honestly when you spend that much money on dinner you expect at a minimum to receive a decent food with a decent service. But at the price I paid I expected top notch which I did not receive at all. Waste of money! I don't recommend it and will never go there again.

Problem: Terrible service. There was NO one at the brow bar. I asked a clerk in perfume what was up. Told they were at lunch. I was advised that they had a bunch of folks that quit recently. The aesthetician did not know the products and did not want to be left to work the sales counter. So, she takes her lunch with the sales clerk. Really? A bunch of folks quit at the same time recently? Aesthetician doesn't know the products and her solution is to leave for lunch with sales clerk and leave the bar with no help? This is real professional. No thank you. I go elsewhere. Beware. This place has big problems. No management.
