Problem: The service and atmosphere were so bad that we left before we ordered anything. So my score is not based on the food, which I hear is delicious. We were seated behind some obnoxiously loud lady who was over-explaining to her friend how poorly her coworker taught K-12 chemistry...and was getting almost everything wrong herself (I have a PhD in molecular genetics, so the convo was like listening to nails scraping a chalkboard). That's neither here nor there. Our bad experience was enhanced by this. So barely being able to hear myself think, I try to order a drink. The cocktail selection stinks for a place that appears to have an open bar. Plus, the waitress wasn't very helpful at all. She offered the peach bellini and then quickly retracted when she noted that they were out of the peach ingredient. Really? Then trying my best to speak over Loud-Talker explaining that all you needed to demonstrate "splitting atoms" is two styrofoam balls and a toothpick...nuclear fission with toothpicks...I asked the waitress if they had anything akin to an Italian soda, or maybe a soda/ seltzer with a splash of vodka and some flavor. What I figured was a simple request was impossible at Cibo. We left as Loud-Talker proclaimed that grade school kids don't need to learn chemistry, just general science...and we wonder why AZ's 8th graders rank #45 in the nation in STEM topics. All in all, our waitress was aloof from the moment we sat down. She was either spaced out or just had no people skills. Having the atmosphere ruined by Ms. Loud-Talker was our own bad luck, but I still give this place one star for the poor service. We left and went to The Vig next door. That place rocks.

Problem: This chirpy, fast talking woman called moments ago to see if we received their card, as she had spoken to my husband a week ago. Into her spiel, I asked what % actually goes to the cause. She spoke right over me, never answering the question. I told her I would check out their organization first and she quickly told me in her rainbow and unicorn voice, that she blesses any friends or relatives who have had cancer. When I asked my husband if he had donated to them, he said yes, $20. Having lost his brother to cancer a few months ago, he is vulnerable. I will never, ever understand how these people can work for these phony organizations with a clear conscious. Or heart.

Problem: Review for Liz, piercer. I have not dealt with anyone else nor have I had any other work done here.... yet? Liz is abfab. She did 6 intimate piercings for me (4, then 2 more, about a month apart) and made the experience memorable (is that a "duh" statement?), easy to handle, and totally doable. I was hesitant, for sure, but Liz put me at ease right away! She is knowledgable, personable, and beyond safe. I have never met anyone so careful, clean, and concerned for her work. She explains what she is doing and why, and how something is used and why it is important. She is careful to keep you part of the experience and does not rush you through anything. I went back to her for one re-do (not at all a reflection on her work) and one replacement ring (months later, no re-do needed). She is always easy to work with and maintains a high-level of professionalism without being stand-offish or cold in any way. Liz is amazing and I can't wait to see her for more body jewelry! ------------- As for the shop in general? Everyone has always been great to me. I can't name anyone specifically, but I have been in here many time to look at tattoos (either for me or friends) and everyone has been helpful, friendly, and ready to get us working. I look forward to checking them out further.

Problem: I'd definitely go here again. I went with my boyfriend after dinner at Planet Hollywood. We were looking for something fun to do for the night and saw a Groupon NOW for the show. We went by, missed the Groupon deal, but overall it was $70 each for VIP seating and all you can drink. It worked out GREAT! We went to the bar and hung out, the host came a found us to seat us and get us drinks before the club actually opened. We got GREAT seats and the drinks were good. the show was hilarious! I haven't laughed so hard in years. The Comedian made fun of this group in the front row for half his act...AMAZING! I'd go here again. I went on 30Dec12 for anyone who wants to look up the comedian.
