A: Under the Stairs is a nice bar, eclectically furnished and with a fair range of drinks and good food, however it is also a bit pretentious and the staff can seem surly, no good thing when the bar has a strict table service only policy! This is what you have to look forward to assuming you get into the place as the door staff have a very definite bias toward letting the female of the species in, in preference to their male counterparts... In short, meh Under the Stairs you could be a great bar, you do have good food and drink however the attitude of your staff is just to be blunt, naff!

Q: negative

A: Before heading home after our ski trip. I decided to stop by and hang out since my home girl/cousin works as a bartender here. So she got me the street side tacos for me to munch on. It was bland, nothing special at all. I tried to stay true of not eating ethnic food at a chain restaurant, but the shit was free. But this experience reinforce that I am right. If it wasn't for the fact that it was free, I would give this place one star. I can't comment on service since I have a conflict but people seem to be nice. It does look like a step up from TGI/Apple Bees etc and to be fair, I just had the tacos. But I suspect the rest of the food are blah too. This coming from a guy that knows somebody that works there. Sorry. It is, what it is.

A: I went to Maizie's for brunch this weekend and had a fabulous time! I was waiting for a friend to arrive and other patrons kept me entertained by recommending several tasty dishes. I barely opened the menu when my eyes and stomach found what I was looking for: Turkey Avocado Biscuit Benedict. This breakfast special was awesome! The spicy green hollandaise sauce was the perfect touch to this meal. I loved the potatoes on the side. The patio was a perfect place to have brunch and the wait staff was extremely helpful. I will be making more trips to this great Phoenix find!

Q: negative

A:
This place might be just be the worst restaurant I have ever been at. The food wasn't that horrible but it certainly wasn't great. 1. They don't serve tap water, supposedly they are too small. 2. If you can't, fine. Just don't charge me 1.50 for a small bottle of pure life. 3. Today, it seems they were only taking reservations before one o'clock. Yet they had a sign that said seat yourself and the girl at the register said we could sit anywhere. 4. I think it was Alex the owner who was bussing tables and walked between people instead of around them the entire time. I am aware that the shortest distance is a straight line but don't make your guests uncomfortable by squeezing past me for no reason. 5. We shared the Britain. It was a crepe filled with undercooked potatoes and bacon and decent eggs. Maybe I don't fully grasp the crepe thing but I would suggest that crisp bacon and cooked potatoes might be more appealing. 6. If I had one more person ask me if I wanted a desert after eating a breakfast crepe and not take no for an answer I would have screamed. They offered us a free father's day crepe when we got there and we said yes but they made us wait for something we DIDN'T ask for. 7. One waitress we didn't know stopped to ask me about my walking dead shirt. She knew the show but only because her mom watches it. She informed us in quite a snooty fashion that she reads. Good for her. Chef Agnes, what can I say? She was telling the people next to us that they were waiting so long because of the aforementioned reservation that was needed before 1 pm. Then she said it was miscommunication with the staff and that they should have never been seated and did they want some hot sauce because the crepe they ordered wasn't very flavorful. I didn't just remember those things and put them in my own run on sentence, that is how she said it. I have been to three highly recommended crepe places on Yelp. I don't get it I guess. However, the overall weirdness of this place reminds me of that Kitchen Nightmares in Arizona with the blonde and the old guy.....so they would have to make the best food ever to get more than one star.
