A: At first we thought we were lucky to get in on a Friday night after 6. In retrospect it's understandable to see why they weren't busy and we got right in. This was to be a reunion dinner for my Mom (83 yo) and my brother and sister and law visiting from CA, and my wife - and it was my decision to go here. What a mistake. The reception was impersonal and she tried to put us in a dark corner inside. I pointed out two tables by the fireplace and was told that those table were for parties of eight and we were only five. Except for one other couple - we were the only ones in the room! Wife and I went to the two tables - put them together and we sat down. OK - fast facts - I was told no beer on draft only bottles - so I ordered DXX amber - a bottle of DXX (no amber) arrived with lime sticking out of top. No glass at these prices? Wife had Margarita (rocks no salt) - came with salt and tiny glass with refill. Tasted like crap so she switched to Cabernet. So much for the beginning of Mexican food experience. My Pork Chili Verde was tough with gristle running through it. Tasted boiled and sauce ladled over it. Pure garbage. I returned it and ordered the chicken pasta. More garbage. Cold, no flavor, runny cheese sauce and hardly any chicken. My Mom had the same dish and ate without complaint - I was embarrassed for her - she was just happy to be with the kids. Wife had fish tacos. Terrible - no flavor, cold. I didn't find out until this morning that she hated them. The tortillas they brag about were cold and tasteless. The chips were stale. The guacamole dip was OK if you like only mashed avocado - I've had better at Taco Bell. Our server was attentive and did the best she could - she took over after the first gal that took drink orders then disappeared. No complaints with her service but reception and the first server were inattentive and poorly trained. Funny, even after the returned food - we never heard from the manager or anyone. This place is horrible - go somewhere else. I'll never return. I don't understand the 4 star ratings unless management has insiders writing glowing reports.

Q: negative

A: This review is for my visit on July 12th 2014 to celebrate my wedding anniversary. Service: the service overall was good but nothing special. I would expect top notch service at a 3 star Michelin restaurant at this caliber. however, I do have a complaint, the restaurant should offer dark linen for guests wearing dark clothing and white linen for guests wearing lighter color clothing. I've seen this done at some of the restaurants in LA and I really appreciated the attention to detail down to the color of the linen. I definitely don't want to get white lint stuck on my black dress or suit. Secondly, the waiter's and waitress's attire is a little outdated ( especially the waiter's suits don't seem to fit very well and are very old fashion). Although what they wear really has nothing to do with my meal or the service that I receive, I just think their outfit needs to match the whole posh/chic/upscale atmosphere. Finally, because we were there for our anniversary , my husband had ordered a special celebratory cake for us to share. The waiter brought the cake out on a nicely decorated tray with a pretty sugar piece and a sign that says " happy anniversary." the issue here is that he brought it out and left so quickly I didn't even get a chance to take a pic of it. He quickly showed it to me, then turned it over to show it to my husband and that was that. Didn't offer to wait for me to take a picture of the whole tray. The whole experience with the tray felt very very rushed. We each got a slice of the cake and in my mind, I thought I get to take the rest of the cake home. but I guess not, cuz they didn't pack the rest for us. Food: The food was Ok. I've had better. Like the previous reviewer had stated, if you're in LA, you'll probably enjoy Melisse more. We ended up spending more than we should have. I was not impressed with the food. we had the 5 course tasting menu but we get to try more than 5 courses because my husband and I chose different things on the menu ( you get to choose 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 1 dessert from a list). so in actuality, I get to try 10 different items that night, and NONE impressed me. I thought the food was either too salty or too bland. Most of the dishes had similar jelly type of consistency. even the soup had a weird thick consistency that I don't care for. everyone on here complimented on the bread cart. but I don't think it's worth it to spend a sh'tload of money just to chow down on the breads. there were 8 choices of bread to choose from. I tasted every one of them based on the views on here but I find them nothing special. you can get really good bread elsewhere and pay a fraction of the price. They also have a mini dessert cart to end your meal. Ok, anyone that knows me , know that I have a sweet tooth and I know my desserts...BUT the dessert cart had nothing that I really like. the macarons were just OK ( Lette's or Bottega Louie is WAY better). mini operas and cupcakes were BLEH...gosh it was the most pathetic dessert cart I've ever seen in my entire career of eating sweets. Last words: SAVE YOUR MONEY. if you're in LA, try Melisse or Providence. Both are really really good and local! I think they should downgrade this restaurant to a 1 star or a no star restaurant.

Q: positive

A: This is a hidden gem in the East Valley! The food is so tasty and fresh, my son and I love it! Their jalapeno poppers are amazing and the lunch specials can't be beat. The service is quick and delivered with a friendly greeting always. Try this restaurant and you will not be disappointed! Best sushi I've tried in Arizona!

A:
First of all let me say that this McDonalds doesn't have a sign in their drive thru stating that they charge for Ranch. Second of all customer service sucks here. I know that you can't expect them to treat super great but at least have respect. The stupid cashier at the 2nd window was Rude about me asking for ranch then got her manager which wasn't that nice either. Third of all when I get home, my order is missing! I was missing one of our burgers. Then I try to call them but no answer. Why do they have a phone if they won't answer? So guess what store#18966 I call the 800 number and did a complaint. Hope you learn to have respect, I'm not asking for u to all happy and jolly JUST RESPECT! Forgot to mention that my husband's fries where half way full! What's wrong with them!
