A: AMAZING RESTAURANT! Everything was fresh and unique. I was impressed by EVERYTHING on their menu. First of all, since it's been almost a year since foie gras was banned in California, of course that jumped off their menu, and was the first thing that I wanted to order. But there were so many other mouth watering dishes! Good thing there were 4 of us in our group, so we could order practically everything! Definitely check out their daily specials. There's going to be something terrific on there. The day I went, we ordered: - Grilled Alaskan King Crab - Uni Udon - a MUST have if you like uni!!!!!! - Blue fin tuna sashimi Items on their regular menu that we had: - Agedashi tofu: fresh tofu, and served in a whole block - Sashimi Salad: ridiculously fresh sashimi! - Yellowtail Carpaccio - Poached egg with uni and salmon roe - Steamed foie gras egg custard - Kobe beef fillet with wasabi: We had to order this with all of the reviews that mentioned it, but it didn't live up to the hype. :( Good but not phenomenal. - Kurobata Pork Cheek : a MUST ORDER! - Duck with balsamic soy sauce: very tasty! - Butter sauteed scallop with soy sauce - Enoki mushroom wrapped with bacon - Japanese shishito peppers To finish off an amazing meal, we had to have dessert. The Green Tea Creme Brulee was the perfect way to end the meal! I never knew about Raku before, but I am raving about it now. I won't be able to take a Vegas trip without stopping by, now.

A: Oh gosh, what a place this is! The only I liked about this place was the little aerobics room- i would use it as a personal dance studio when there weren't classes. The place was very sweaty, hot, and disgusting. Bleh! The staff there is just concerned with money! They try and push supplements on you repeatedly! I tried them for several months and honestly cannot say they made any noticeable difference. I felt judged when going there because people would stare at my confusion towards several machines. Most machines are old and some are not working for weeks at a time. The girls behind the counter seem clueless and are definitely only in it for the paycheck... they act like as though you are inconveniencing them if you ask questions. When I canceled, they gave me the run around for over a month. Finally, after the manager refused to return my calls, I went in and was then charged for two more months as a "60 day notice". Oh, AND, my sister-in-law went and was cheated out of over TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS! They convinced her that she had to pay up front for an extreme amount of personal training as part of a discounted price. Well, when my brother got deployed as part of the military one month later, she was never refunded her money! That's ridiculous!

A: I was a little underwhelmed by this place. I will say that knowing the price of the food and this places location I was expecting an amazing restaurant. When I walked in however I could tell that the place hasn't received a makeover in quite some time. The fabric on the seats was all worn out and the interior didn't seem very fresh, seems like it could use a little TLC. That being said...the food was good. Split a flat bread, fries, and a queso dip with my cousin. All three items were tasty. The fries are the only thing that really stick out to me as they were fried in duck fat, which was truly amazing. I also had a gin and tonic that was mixed very well. The service was also very good. The only reason I am giving the place only two stars is really the price. I dont feel like the food necessarily lived up to the price. Luckily I was there with someone who had a gift certificate.

A:
This mall is so crappy... The only saving grace is Macy's, it has a small selection but there are always really great clearance items. Did I mention some girl had brought her boom box in and sat it at the register so she could jam out to puffy combs or some crap. Ok minus 2 more for Macy's. I found myself at Fiesta last night, I needed clothes for work and did not want to drive to Chandler and fight the crowds. I pulled up at first excited at the great parking spot I scored, then I walked in and remembered why I never come to this mall. It is the ghetto fab mini me of malls. I lapped the entire place in about 25 minutes, the Dillard's is an absolute joke. I think the men's section had more clothes than the women's, junior's and misses put together. Needless to say I walked around for an hour, went to every store there and came out with 2 shirts. I could have saved myself the frustration and went to Chandler instead. Yea there may be crowds but the stores are large with great selections so you don't have to go to 10 ghetto stores to find a top. I was so irritated I didn't even get a pretzel.
