A: This is one of my favorite courses in the valley! Fairways are nice and wide open, forgiving for most tee shots (in case you go long and wrong). Greens are in pretty good shape, cart girl is funny and friendly. Prices are reasonable, especially if you use Golfnow after 2pm (twilight) you can get a "free steak dinner" included in the golf rate. While I am not a red meat eater, my husband said the steak and fries meal wasn't too bad! He said he would definitely come back for it again. Love the lounge/restaurant...they have several tv's and a warm fire going in the winter. Kick your feet up and watch some football after a round. We only live 2 miles away from Orange Tree and plan to stop in more from time to time for a drink. Yay for Orange Tree!

Q: positive

A: Still the best sushi, this side of the Pecos (river, not road). This is my go to sushi place, each time I ride into town. Sometimes I'll eat here several times before hitting the road again. One thing I noticed this time around, was that many of their "happy hour" sushi specials, seem to all be a variation of a California roll. Hmmm? As good as this place is, I don't see the need for such creative increased profit margin tactics. Oh well, I just won't order those items on my next visit, which won't be soon enough.

A: This is still the gold standard for burger's in the Valley for me. The Tijuana Torpedo is my go to, although I've had all their burgers. They throw green chilis on their WOOD FIRE pit and grill them, before placing a fresh patty of beef which has pepper jack cheese pounded into it, and then throw hot sauce on it (which is not really hot, it's more of a chulula type thing). It's freakin' huge, and it's so good because of the method of cooking with the wood. You pick your own fixins and then sit down in a cool saloon-ish vibed place and just enjoy your burger. I live in Scottsdale and will trek down to Tempe just to get it sometimes. Yeah, it's THAT good.

Q: negative

A:
I have never been to a sushi restaurant where I had to actually stop eating because the food was so gross. First time for everything. The salmon nigiri was so tough that I couldn't bite it in half. It was almost rubbery. The other sushi plates (we had four in all) smelled very fishy mixed with the faint odor of cleaning fluid. The fried rolls tasted like they had been cooked in very old oil. The prices were extremely reasonable, and the restaurant itself was decent in terms of tone and decor. I liked that they gave you complimentary miso and salad, although I didn't care for the salad dressing. In all, definitely a place I will never return to again.
