Problem: Disappointed, Chelsea. I did a foodie tour of Phoenix this past weekend and I had been given SO many recommendations for Chelsea's Kitchen so of course when I read about the free salted chocolate chip cookies, I threw my diet to the side and jumped on the chance to give it a try. Unfortunately my overall experience was simply "meh". BOOOOO! I believe I got off on the wrong foot with our server, though I'm not sure why. It was not busy when we arrived as it was a Monday at 5 PM. We were seated immediately and I asked a waitress (VERY tall brunette with a bun and a bit of a snarky smile) if there were any drink specials. She said there were not so I ordered off the regular drink menu, an overpriced oversweetened cucumber concoction that was DISGUSTING. Someone else brought the drinks while yet ANOTHER waitress (shorter, more petite brunette gal) actually took our food order. We tried all the higher recommendations on Yelp but honestly I was not impressed by anything we ate. We decided on the short rib and ahi tuna tacos both with the Kale salad. We also got the deviled eggs which were "OK". I don't know if I am supposed to be impressed with normal eggs boiled and baconed up. Anyway, the short ribs were good but needed more flavor and my ahi tuna was beyond bland. I was supremely disappointed that everything just didn't hit the mark. But what really upset the whole dinner was the same girl who first offered us drinks and told us there were NO specials on beverages, offered the table RIGHT next to us the "happy hour" specials which included $5 house wine, half off beer list and well drink specials. Endless options for the couple sitting next to us?!?! What?!?! I was furious. I don't know why I got so upset but I felt completely jipped b/c I was sipping an awful drink, eating bland food AND basically being lied to. I proceeded to inform our food waitress about this situation and honestly, I would not have been so upset had I not specifically asked her about special options for drinks. I probably would have drank a lot more too and chosen something I wanted vs. feeling like my options were limited to the specialty drink list. Our waitress was calm and polite, removing the drink charge but for $55 this food was not worth it and if they are going to pick and choose who they offer the specials to then I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The place was packed though so it certainly is popular. I have been wrong before so make your own call about going. And the cookies - they were pretty good but nothing I would go out of my way again to eat.

Problem: I learned my lesson not to use Budget. I made a reservation with Amex services to later get a bait and switch upsell with an inaccurate quote. Only rent from budget if you like getting a pressure upsell job at the counter. Further, they later $25 charge for the administrative services to provide my contact information to the AZ robo camera nazis. I suspect all the rental people charge for this. However, they certainly didn't have to charge me. Last, arrive at the airport early. They only had one guy checking in dozens of cars in five lanes. CHEAP...

Problem: Bedside Manor is a fantastic bedding store, conveniently located across from SouthPark Mall. They are most well known for their beautiful, upscale bedding. They also sell small gift items such as candles and they have nice home decor items too. I highly recommend checking them out. They are at Specialty Shops on the Park, close to Bricktops restaurant and Williams Sonoma. :-)

Problem: ATTN: Kim T. We'll I made it to Monte Carlo !! Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to the VIP check in due to the traffic coming from LA. .. But not the less. I checked in, lady at from was very nice. .. Thank you for the room "upgrade". I really see no difference other then The view and the broken lampshades. We'll here is what I see so far. The water in the shower comes out. Very lightly with no pressure ( not as I remember it). And. Also the. Drain seem to be. Backed up that the water take some time to drain ... The lamp shades are all broken and dirty ill attaches picture... But. I have to say not what I expected. .. I would have to say the Monte Carlo to me has loss it's edge and forget the basics I would have to say that this might be the last time I visit any the the MGM resorts. It's sad to say. I really had higher standards for Monte Carlo. Maybe not as high as your other properties but some what better. ... We'll if you would. Like my feedback or speak over the phone then my number is on my room reservation if not it was a pleasure. I will be posting. This on my social media feeds as we'll in the days to come. Including the pictures. Regards. J. Oliver
