Q: I have been taking my black lab to the grooming salon at this location every month for several months to get a bath and furminator treatment. A couple weeks ago I took him in and they told me they had to rush becuase they were closing (it's a 3hr process and they scheduled him 2hrs before close). Within a week he was smelly and shedding like crazy, when usually he goes a month before this happens. I went in and spoke with the store manager on Friday evening, Saturday morning the salon manager had called and scheduled my dog for a free appointment that evening. I was thoroughly impressed with the handling of this situation and they will definately be keeping my business!!

Q: Disclaimer: I came here after consuming a 1/2 yard of Long Island and 10-12 shots of Patron over a 6 hour time period. It was easy to get resses here so we decided to run downstairs and grab dinner. I ordered the 20oz porkchop (being drunk, they asked how i wanted it cooked and i said "rare"). I also ordered a spinach side. The food came out quickly and we started eating. I looked down at my plate and all I saw was a huge pork chop. So, onto the tasting. I remember that the pork chop had a WONDERFUL sweet char on the outside and the meat in the inside was tender and delicious. It was THE BEST PORK CHOP I have ever eaten hands down. The portion size was large and the quality of the meat was excellent. The spinach was just that, spinach. Nothing special, it was good and it was cooked well. I loved everything about carnevino except they charged us 4 or 7bux/pp for tap water. That is all.

Q: I'll comment on something that was great first - the decor! Very modern but warm with wood, glass and metal. It's a bit loud, but it was Friday night, so pretty busy. The seating was comfortable, nice looking bar, etc. The the lighting over the bar area was gorgeous. I really wanted to like this restaurant - Phoenix Magazine certainly did...it's on their Top 10 New Restaurants list in the current issue. From the raving review, it sounded great -- so a group of us hopped on the Metro and headed downtown to try it Friday night. To sum it up, Phoenix magazine needs to hire new food critics - this is not one of the top 10 new restaurants in Phoenix this year. The service was mediocre. The waiter forgot 2 dishes, and was irritated because we were trying to figure out who owed what on the bill...while we had our coffee. For appetizers, we had the Tater tots, deviled eggs & the caramel corn for appetizers: The tater tots were very flavorful. The deviled eggs were okay, but not great. Just not spiced well. The caramel corn was really good with the chili pepper and caramel sort of blending together. The short ribs on a bed of blue cheese grits was really very good, probably the best thing on the menu. The pork neck was bland. The ceviche was not very chilled, and also tasted bland. The Kale salad was ok, but kinda just a big pile of chopped kale with dressing on it and a few croutons tossed on top. Two people had the mac & cheese and thought it was good, but the serving was really small. The wine I had was pretty good, but they didn't have the one on the menu that I wanted so suggested the wine they'd replaced it with. (only the replacement wine was $12 a glass & the one I'd wanted was $8!) Several other people had cocktails and they all enjoyed them. So I'm thinking the bar is probably the highlight of this restaurant! Sorry, but Blue Hound is just not even near the top 10 new restaurants.
