Problem: Triple George is an American restaurant and in a way the food here reminds me of comfort food. The restaurant is decorated in dark wood with dining areas divided into small sections. You may be dining very closely with the next table so it can feel a little bit claustrophobic. I ordered the vegan ravioli. The other people I was with ordered one of the burgers and the meatloaf . They all liked it a lot and wanted to come back. As for my ravioli, it was delicious, albeit being a little heavy and creamy. Not sure if I will be back on my own free will. The food is good but not something I crave for.

Problem: Roka Akor is already my "Best of 2011" and currently "Best of All Time" because of the outstanding food is complemented by the outstanding service. Did I say outstanding....I should have said spectacular or maybe out-of-this-world or simply divine (e.g. as in I was in heaven divine). It was so wonderful my wife and I went two nights in a row (with my mother the second night) and are disappointed that we can't make it three nights in a row. Over the two nights we tried Butterfish Tetaki (x2), Kobe Beef & Kimchi Dumplings (x2), Sweet Corn Tempura, Lobster Tempura, Rock Shrimp Tempura, Black Cod (2x), Yellow Tail Sashimi, Pork Belly, Soft Shell Crab Rolls, King Crab Leg with Truffle Ponzu Butter, Chibi Burger (Slider), Cremini Mushrooms, and Beef Tataki (special order). For deserts we tried the Chocolate Cake w/Toffee Sauce, Caramelized Peanuts, and Peanut Butter Ice Cream, Basil Sorbet and Vanilla Ice Cream. All wonderful dishes with my personal favorite being Butterfish Tetaki, Kobe Beef Dumplings, King Crab Leg, and Peanut Butter Ice Cream. Every flavor you simply wanted to savor, disappointed as it faded but only to be delighted when the next dish appeared. The food was a true transcendental culinary experience. Five stars does not do it justice. The service was about as perfect as I have ever experienced. Ryan our waiter for both nights (we requested him the second night) was like a sherpa guide taking us to new culinary heights. Nearly all our dishes were direct recommendations from him catering to our tastes but also helping us explore new tastes. His attention to detail was superb including having a chilled Voss water ready for us the second night, remembering my wife's drink, answering a question about the vanilla ice cream from the night before (yes they do scrap the vanilla bean seeds into the ice cream), bringing us the basil sorbet as a palette cleanser as we had suggested before, surprising us with a dish not on the menu, etc. Charles "I am a young Wayne Newton" Tansey III even stopped by to let us know that our disappointment with the chocolate cake (a bit dry and lacking flavor) had been addressed with the chefs especially after having tried it himself. Charles was even kind enough to walk out with us to the valet. Again five stars does not do it justice. In a nutshell, this Roka Akor is a culinary destination that should be in every ones bucket list. I can assure you that it will be a regular venue for me to indulge in new culinary experiences every time I am in Scottsdale.

Problem: When I am with a group of people. They always prefer to pick Tamba for Indian food. Can't complain. Good Indian food will put you in a good mood ;)

Problem: The vegetable subgum is great. I love that they aren't overly concerned with American palettes not enjoying certain Chinese vegetables and going for authenticity instead. The noodles are tasty. The gyoza are really great. I even like the eggrolls there, and normally I hate eggrolls. They also have a variety of southeast Asian dishes; that just confuses me. It's really reasonably priced. I almost always get noodle soup for $7 and get two hearty meals out of it. The atmosphere is the atmosphere of most good Chinese restaurants...total shit, but that isn't why you go here. Also, don't expect amazing service. Most of the servers are kind of awkward and seem to not really know what they're supposed to be doing. Best Chinese in Madison hands down.
