Problem: Kinda disappointed on our last visit to Sidelines on 11/10. There were 3 of us total, and we sat outside. We wanted to have the heater on beside us, but it wasn't working so our waitress said she'd send someone out to look at it. Nobody ever came out... The service was REALLY bad and when our food came out it was like it had been sitting there, done, for too long as it was only lukewarm. The food still continues to be great though, flavor wise, which is why we always go back. I just wish they would get some more servers in or something.

Problem: So let me preface this one star with the fact that we never did eat here. The reason is because despite the fact that the website says they close at 9:30 on Saturday, they actually were closed by 8:00 when we went there....TWICE! Note to Au Petit Four, this is 2011 and either update your website or inform people if you close early because it is slow. We drove from Southern Scottsdale to Arcadia and it was a waste of time. Also, waste of groupon money!

Problem: As if Oakville Grocery and West Elm alone aren't enough to keep me hooked on the Scottsdale Quarter, the recent opening of Primebar, the new 'contemporary ale house', gives me even more reason to make my way back. Killer cocktails and tons of local beers on tap, they have great happy hour specials...$3 Drafts, $5 Wine, $6 Specialty Cocktails (Monday-Friday, 4-7PM). They have 15 specialty cocktails to choose from (love the names 'Dirty CEO Martini' and 'Silly Goose') but my favorite was the Peartini - refreshing and light with the use of St. Germain and Grey Goose La Poire, Pear Juice and Prosecco...topped off with a slice of pear. A great lineup of draft beers - some classic, some local. Local drafts include beers from Tempe's finest Four Peaks, Oak Creek Brewing from Sedona, Nimbus Brewing from Tucson and Prescott brewing from....well....Prescott. We ordered a few dishes to share, among them the beet lollipops coated in candied pistachios served with a goat cheese dipping sauce (who doesn't love the new lollipop trend that's going on?), apple wood smoked bacon sliders, sweet potato fries, bbq chicken flatbread (excellent!) and the beet salad with arugula, mandarin oranges, pistachio brittle, roasted beets and goat cheese. The setting was nice. Very spacious dining area yet cozy with the use of dark leathers and wood. The "eye" artwork on the wall was interesting and couldn't help but notice the use of old school light bulbs in the chandelier (think Olive & Ivy) which sealed the deal for being casual. I was a little bummed to find out it was a chain (with other Locations in Colorado, Florida, Illionois, and Missouri) but it's one of those chains that don't feel like chains (like Gordon Biersch) - so I'll definitely be back!

Problem: I remember when this place wasn't 24 hours a day, it wasn't what it is today by any means. For me, this place began as a perfect spot because I was always looking for something that was open late and the early hours of the morning. But due to the hype and popularity of this place, the quality has definitely gone downhill from the fond memories I originally made here. Many of their breads are now sold frozen and I even received a Neapolitan that was rock hard in the middle making it un-edible because it had been frozen. This place does still serve a purpose for me when I'm looking for something because no other places open; however, with the long lines you find later on in the evening it often feels more like a nightclub than a bakery serving great food. To put it simply, the best thing about this place is that it's open 24/7.
