Problem: What would be an example of an negative review?

Answer: One star for the food, a second for the people watching. I'm being generous. Four of us walked in at 9 PM on a Thursday, all wearing suits and in good spirits. Sat at the bar, hoping to have a drink and ultimately something to eat because we just came from a conference and were starving. I live just north of Steak 44, in Paradise Valley and was really hoping to like the place so that it could become a regular go-to destination. I ended up in embarrassed to take my out-of-town colleagues there. It wasn't as if the bartenders were spending more time with other patrons among the light crowd, they weren't really paying attention to anyone. Finally, "What would you like to drink"? I've never been here before, so how about offering to help me out with the wine selection? I guess I'll hurry up and choose something since I seem to be imposing. Likewise, absolutely zero assistance, enthusiasm or even advice about the food menu. I ended up getting the meatloaf with bearnaise on the side (my substitution), which was actually quite tasty. There are too many other great restaurants in the area to put up with mediocre service. I'll take my business dinner dollars elsewhere.

Answer: If I could give this place ZERO stars I would. This is the second time I have left there so unhappy. The first time my Fiance and i went in and got mani's and pedi's. they were rude to both of us and acted like they hated every second of us being there. I THOUGHT it was probably just a fluke and I gave them another shot this afternoon. ... and I wish I hadn't. I only had limited time so i picked my pink color and asked for just a regular manicure. THe girl then proceded to tell me that that the pink wouldn't look good on me. I should just do a french manicure with pink tips.I said no I just want them to be all pink. She said "It no look good, to much pink for you" I thought she was joking bc who the hell says that??!! ... but she wasn't. She then told me well its only going to last 2 days with this color. So i said 'Oh is it a bad brand should i pick another brand'? and she said 'no you can do gel manicure'. I again said nope JUST the REGULAR manicure, and she shook her and and said ok but it is going to chip because your nails are so OILY..... WHAT??? AGAIN who says that ... in all my years getting manicures I have never had issues with my nails being to oily for a manicure. This literally went on for like 5 min and I should have just left. The manicure she gave me was TERRIBLE and she was so sloppy with the clipping ( she wacked them off, and the edges were like razor sharp) filing( so uneven, I had to tell her to fix spots) and the paint job was uneven and lumpy. I literally felt like crying she was just SUCH a b*%&*h and so bad at her job. In all my years I have never NOT tipped and I did not giver her a dime more than the $12 it cost me to have this done to my nails. I just couldn't tip her. It was that bad. I WILL NEVER EVER GO HERE AGAIn... there are waaaaay to many other places to give your business too in the area.

Answer:
Wow, what a difference over the course of a year. I reviewed Tommmy Bahama's almost a year ago, and I thought it was great. The steaks were great, and even the sweet potatoes, which I normally don't like, were great. We have been going to Tommy Bahama's about twice per month since then, and each time has been good, with the exception of this last time. Things started off okay, we got our table, got our appetizers, and all was good. But then the steak came. My girlfriend just thinks it was overcooked, but it tasted like much cheaper meat to me. The filet was bland and stringy. And the sweet potatoes were actually the same, tasteless and stringy. Odd, but true. The whole meal was sort of so-so. The service was okay, but there was something not quite right. The staff seemed on edge. It was a weird feeling, like they were just not happy to be there. And then the topper; my girlfriend put some sweet potato on a smaller plate to try them out, and some women came by and snatched her plate of food away. She still had her food on it, and the woman never asked if we wanted it taken away. The woman was wearing a pink polo shirt, so she looked more like one of the managers than a server. We thought about complaining, but it just felt like maybe it wasn't worth it. Not to look to much into this, but I wonder if the place is having financial issues, so the food is not as good and the people are on edge. Either way, it's a shame because this was a regular place for us to hang out for a nice dinner out, and we would usually grab some stuff from the store after the meal. We may give it once last chance, maybe this was an off night, but it feels like the magic might be gone from this one.
