Problem: The Paradise was always a "must do" while staying downtown. Loved the food, the garish tropical decore, and the limitless champagne served during weekend brunch. And the price was outstanding! Please be sure to note the use of past tense in each of the preceeding statements. Over the past few years, the quality and service has declined dramatically. Last visit, the food was on par with the slop they served at the old Imperial Palace barffet and the wait staff couldn't be bothered. Save yourself the trouble, and go to the Garden Court Buffet at Mainstreet Station.

Problem: We tried The Spot for lunch, and it was just eh. At the end of the meal, it reminded me more of like a short-order restaurant. We ordered the Spot sandwich (a plain chicken sandwich with mediocre quality bun), and a chicken salad. The best part of the salad was the little piece of apple cinnamon bread that came on the side. Otherwise, it was little more than salad with deli turkey/ham in it, and some walnuts. The seating was uncomfortable, and there's only 2 tables inside downstairs, and 1-ish up the stairs. Not great for summer eating in AZ. We ended up outside. The misters helped a little, but it was disappointing that most of their seating is outdoors. The dessert case looked pretty good, but not good enough to make me want to try it. I doubt we'll go back, it wasn't even compelling enough for me to write this review on the same day we went.

Problem: I'll keep this brief as I hope they can make improvements and I can write a better review later but here it goes..... First time here was awesome....shoot first week here was awesome! Five Stars all the way, think I made it in 5 nights the first week. Atmosphere is unlike any other place, food was good, amazing beer on draft, I was a huge advocate and recommended it to everyone, which now is quite embarrassing. With so much potential its sad to see a place like this go down hill so quick. The last few times I've been in everything has been absolutely miserable. Service is terrible, waiters seem confused, food and drink is sporadic on whats in stock and whats not....things are just all over in the place.....you can tell they are lacking in leadership and direction which I can see now as I hear they have parted ways with their GM. And the jokes in the bathroom and tables are HILARIOUS...mom really enjoyed them. Props to AJ (Ashley), Ethan, and Brandon....they rocked and are whats going to save this place.

Problem: If I could give this business zero stars or negative stars, I definitely would. During the summer months, my work schedule changes from five 8 hour days (manageable with dogs) to four 10 hour days. With a 30 minute commute each way and no break, that is just too long for my pups to be at home alone without a potty break! While looking for a low-cost solution such as doggie daycare or an in-home service, I stumbled across reviews for The Pudgy Pup. I noticed all of the positive reviews on Yelp and decided to check out their web site. I have to hand it to them--their rates are very reasonable. It would cost me $20 for the full day, per dog, or I could buy a package for multiple days at an even better rate. My dogs fit all of the criteria--they even require that dogs have their bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine. Did I mention Pudgy Pup is on my way to work AND open at 6 am? I work at 7 during the summer, how perfect... I thought to myself, okay, sign me up for the biggest package! But then I scrolled to the very bottom of the page, which they saw a fitting place to include their policy "sorry, no pit bulls." This place will never see one red cent of my money, and I will ensure that all of the dog people I know do the same. Pudgy Pup could have made lots of money off of my family this summer... but I guess they don't want it.
