A: My boyfriend and I went to District before a concert at the US Airways Center. Perfect location for a downtown event, plus they will validate your valet parking. We went in time for their happy hour (which ends a 7pm) and sat at one of the bar tables. Very cool ambiance. We had a great server who made helpful suggestions and guided us through the array of menu options. I tried their red wine sangria ($5) - it was a beautiful magenta color and was one of the better sangrias I'd had in a long time. I also had their Pineapple Lavender cocktail (not on happy hour - $10) which is very tart and lemon-y. Not for everyone, but I loved it! They hand-make their drinks with fresh fruit (so they take a little while) and use fresh herbs grown on their rooftop garden. My boyfriend picked the food and we indulged! All the appetizers were $4 (except for the nachos which were $5). The pretzel bite fondue included three pretzels definitely larger than a bite, maybe 3 or 4 bite-size. The cheese was warm and melty. Good dish. We also had the macaroni & cheese w/ Schreiner's beer hots. I think this one was our least favorite of all the dishes we ordered. Not that it was bad, it just didn't stand out. A take on mac & cheese with cut up hotdog. The nachos were topped with all the good stuff you'd expect to find on nachos: gooey cheese, pico de gallo, guac, sour cream, and steak. The chips were a little thicker, so they didn't break and get soggy. Finally, we had the buffalo sloppy joe sliders. Great flavor, would definitely get these again. I'm not in downtown Phoenix very often, but District will definitely be at the top of my list next time I attend an event in the area.

A: Stopped and and had dinner around 5pm. I got the Chicken Pad Thai which wasn't bad but not as spicy as I requested. My girlfriend got the orange chicken. It was terrible, there was barely any sauce and the chicken was cold. The chicken appeared to be breaded with only what I can describe as, overcooked deep-fried funnel cake batter. On the inside, once we were able to bite thru the piece of chicken, we found most of the pieces of chicken did not have any chicken inside. For dessert we were given two small bowls of jello. We politely declined but were still served the bowls. I would not recommend this place to anybody.

A:
So, after carefully reviewing online where I could get a good quality prime rib dinner for a low price, I found the California Hotel popping up over and over again. I have to admit, I was most attracted to the location, the price and the amenities (it includes dessert--cherries jubilee!). When you walk into the California, be prepared to step back...WAY BACK to those "cancer-in-the-air" days of old Las Vegas, where it seems nearly everyone smokes. What I also found interesting was how this casino still takes coins, too! Now that IS a step back! You'll also notice that the California Hotel apparently caters head over heels to people of the Asian/Pacific Islander persuasion. I thought I was in the South Pacific again! After a few minutes, I realized I might have to learn some Tagalog before the night was over, because it was spoken fluently and loudly everywhere in this place (lol). So, when you meander to the back of the house (just under the escalators) you'll find the Market Street Cafe, which serves the prime rib dinner I'm reviewing here (as well as a full menu of other international dishes -- mostly Asian). I was warned the line would be long, but it wasn't. I visited on a Monday around 7:30pm. After only a five minute wait in line, I was seated next to the kitchen entrance. NO. I don't think so. The hostess must have never learned that a kitchen entrance table is the WORST in the house! There were open tables everywhere, so, I selected my own. After seating myself right next to the salad bar, I noticed it was well-stocked. So much so that I found myself actually growing hungrier and looking forward to digging in. And I have a LapBand. But I dug in anyway! Honestly, I found the salad bar delicious. There were probably more than 50 items on it, all well-chilled and fresh, and twice I saw attendants making sure it was in tip-top shape. And I'm NOT a salad bar kind of guy! And don't get me started on what I think about open buffets! I ordered the prime rib and it was prepared just as promised -- juicy and with all the "trimmin's" (a baked potato, sauteed fresh green beans, unlimited salad bar and later on, a nice cherries jubilee dessert. Now, I wouldn't compare the California's prime rib to Lawry's in Las Vegas, but hey, what do you expect for $9.99? As for the prime rib taste and quality, it was indeed very juicy, seasoned well in its own jus, but also quite fatty. When I was finished eating, there was a pile of fat and gristle I'd cut away and piled on another plate. Again, what does one expect? Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant to people who want a good dinner value, who are hungry, and don't want to spend more than $10 on a decent prime rib dinner.
