I agree with Tracy P's review of Grouch Johns. a. The small business owner mentality is awesome. b. The coffee tastes great. c. The location is near the mother in law, so perfect for all. d. The prices are awesome. e. Menu has all you would want just slightly different then normal, yet good! f. Great staff. g. If you check in on social media, they give you double punch on your frequent card. Great place for coffee, home style, art on the wall for sale, books to read. Nice. GK says, check this place out.

For my first time staying at a Westin and visiting Arizona, I was very pleased with this hotel. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and my room was amazing. I was surprised by getting a nice and comfortable room on a higher floor and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. I stood on it every evening and morning. Bring a camera! The beds were even better...the pillows, heavenly and super soft. I slept better in that bed than I have in my comfy one at home. I was later pleased to hear that they sell them on their website. Smart. I had to get up early to work at a conference hosted in the resort that week, but if I could have stayed in bed longer, I wouldn't have stopped hugging the feathers out of these amazing pillows. My favorite things about the resort (besides the awesome beds) were the saloon and the Deseo restaurant. May have been one of the best dining spots I have been in a while. With phenomenal wines on the menu, dishes filled with a melange of delicious flavors and fresh ingredients, and their bread is some of the best I've ever had. I would highly recommend going on a nice dinner date here or out on a business dinner. You won't be disappointed! The saloon below the lobby is also a great spot to grab some drinks and enjoy some bourbon or scotch. If you are a golf enthusiast, they have a large golf course on site. By far, I will say that the fire pit outside is THE best amenity of this resort. With comfy large couches surrounding the fire put, drink service available, blankets there to keep you warm, this is the perfect spot to lay back and relax with friends in the evening. Everyone should have a fire pit. At 5pm every day for an hour, the hotel has a very talented Scottish bagpiper who wanders around the fire pit and golf course, entertaining those outside with some great music. I would love to stay here again sometime! This place is quite nice and may be my favorite hotel that I've had the pleasure to stay in thus far.

I'm a fan since they have these in Cali. This location is nicely located and good store layout. Pleasant as they had live music playing and wine tasting (dont know if they do that all the time- I was there during a weekend..maybe special event?). Wine selection of course is King and second is liquor and last is beer. A few I havent seen at Lees, but most craft and imports are the same. Am not surprised as distribution of beers is a political racket and it's hard to get good beers to the shelf. Still, not bad. Nice selection of single and big bottles. I like that they organize and label choices with basic flavor and style descriptions and 100 scale ratings on beers, not just a plain pricetag. Also unlike Lee's where I run into mostly frat boys grabbing cases of Natty Ice and some Keystones , we ran into a "beer advocate" here who chimed in that the La Fin Du Monde was the best Unibroue beer since I was having trouble on my selection and just talked beers and aging and about Aces& Ales bar. It was awesome to meet someone in the normally lonely craft brew aisle. I'm not a beer snob by all means, drink what you like (just don't make claims like Bud Light is "real beer" to me and superior cuz you'll look like an ass), but it is a lonely but very tasty hobby. Seems like this location and environment invites some beer drinkers. One plus is that it seemed on select items, I noticed it was cheaper than Lee's. Every little bit of savings is always great specially when I'm buying a $14 four pack on a regular basis (its about $12 here). I find the checkout aisles funny with each having a lit number and take out your IDs and we prosecute minors on every lit sign. Good that they ID but man they made me feel awkward. She looked at my ID and gave it back after writing my birthdate on a paper and I place it back in my purse. Then goes "you are 21 right?" I just gave her a strange look, "you want my ID again?" So I hand her my ID again and she showed it to her manager to look over. Eerrr, okay. Dont know what that was about. Definitely going to keep on coming as this is better store in Vegas, but out of all the Total Wine&More stores, I LOVE the Rancho Cucamonga location and the staff there rocks.

Get there early! But if you don't have reservations the wait is absolutely worth it. My gf and I stopped by with no reservations for dinner at around 5:15pm and the place was PACKED. We waited for about 20 minutes and were seated. The staff were very friendly and patient with us. We got beer and hamburgers. THEY WERE SO GOOD. I love eggs on my burgers and they nailed it. DELICIOUS DELICIOUS. Definitely will be going back.
