Visited this afternoon to try out the sushi menu. I wanted to try Tempura Rolls on sale along with California Rolls with Cream Cheese. Chef did not have Cream Cheese, so I went to the grocery store and bought some to place on my California Rolls. Taste was good, sushi was wrapped tight and the price was about $12-$20 cheaper than other places in town making for a good value.

This is a clean, beautiful, professional looking establishment. It also happens to be the headquarters of all the libraries. ANy applications or art entries get turned in here, as well as random events that happen such as small child story telling times. Its a little out of the way, but while I was there, they even let me turn in my books from my closer library...i just love that.

Out & about on a Friday about lunch time & got a "to go" little bacon burger (my usual). The two gentleman employees were so friendly, wholeheartedly welcomed me as soon as I walked up to the counter. While I did have to wait an unusual amount of time for my burger - even though they weren't busy - I was perfectly content snacking away on the peanuts & sipping my Coca-Cola. My burger was yummy & the burger patty seemed a bit larger & thicker than I'm used to seeing, which of course made me happy! The pickles & jalapenos were fresh. Restaurant was clean... Parking can be an issue, as the location is sharing spaces with other businesses.

We were seated in the bar, waiter took our order and I gave him the Stripes #. After other people delivered the food we never saw him again. I stopped a bar tender passing by and asked if we could get the ranch dressing we ordered. The fries were old, cold, tough so I stopped another gal and asked if we could have something else since they were not edible. No one checked back to see if we were ok. Finally about 20 minutes after we were done eating I stopped the bar tender again and said we had waited a very long time for the bill and whatever happened to our initial server. With professional polish she said they worked as a team and got the bill for us. The bill was wrong as we were charged for the chips and salsa plus my Stripes number was not on it. She handed it off to some other guy who said he would fix it. He only brought back the credit receipt to be signed and I asked him where the receipt showing my account number was, he then brought back a small slip of paper stating how many stripes I had. It looked like the same amount I already had. Anyway, what a fiasco!!! The really troubling part was that the staff was saying how dead it was in there, no business, and when we left there were at least 5 staff standing around talking at the hostess station and one of them said basically thank you and have a nice day. I would have to think long and hard about going back to that Fridays. Some one should have had the courtesy to say the waiter was leaving for whatever reason and that we are handed off to someone else. The bar tender could only say that she was sorry that we fell through the cracks. Really? Slow business day and we were lost to the staff? I think of how patiently we waited before I flagged someone down and now I feel like an idiot. We asked where other TGIFriday's were located and basically there were only two left, the others were closed down by the owner is what a waiter said. Sad, because I really love the service and Jack Daniel's ribs that I get when in California, but Arizona has gone very astray.
