Q: I'm not often to write poor views, but this one irks me. I've FLOWN IN no less than 3 times to have breakfast at this restaurant and it was closed. What airport greasy spoon restaurant is closed on Sunday morning? When we went in and asked why they were closed, I was told, "It's slow around here, and he wasn't making money." Did he expect Obama to come in and bail him out, or stimulate his business while it was closed? Seriously. Just a hint, here, Mr. Business Owner, but you can't make money if your doors aren't open. We've instead flown over to the restaurant at Chandler where it is ALWAYS busy, and there was even a wait on the Sunday morning I went. Put out a good product, for a reasonable price, with good service, and you'll make money, and you won't be slow. Not only will you get me in the door once, but you may even find me in there regularly. I think I'll fly up to Sedona where I know they'll be open for 3 meals a day, 7 days a week.

Q: My friend treated me to dinner here for my birthday, and it was fabulous. I would've rated it as five stars, but I had a couple things that bothered me. First, we had a reservation, and came about 15 minutes early so we could grab a drink at the bar first. We checked in, but were not seated until about 20 minutes past our reservation. Not a big fan of having to wait that long past the reservation time. Second, I'm not a big fan of the dress code. It's supposed to be fine dining, and it is a beautiful restaurant. But, the fact that you see customers simply wearing t-shirts and jeans kind of ruins the whole thing. Other than that - all was dandy. Service was impeccable, but I would hope so considering the amount you pay to eat there. Food wise - we got oysters as appetizers. They were very fresh and tasted great. The clam chowder we ordered was decent, but nothing to rave about. I've had plenty of other clam chowders that easily beat the one at Mastro's. The steaks we ordered were cooked to perfection, and were complimented well by the sauteed mushrooms. Since it was my birthday - they did give us free chocolate cake, which was nice. Very light, fluffy, & moist. BUT, we did also order the warm butter cake, which I think most would agree is a must. Man, the chocolate cake was nothing in comparison. Overall, great place. Would definitely go back again, when I have the money to spare. And on a completely random note - they do serve Chilean Sea Bass at this establishment, which surprised me. This fish is known to be highly over fished and is on Seafood Watch's list of fish to avoid. Just thought I'd let you know.

Q: Why does this place have 5 stars? And why are so many of his reviewers out of state? Who brings their car from New York to have it fixed by Gene? I went to Gene's shop with my car and he did incorrect work which did led unnecessary work, charged me more than the dealer would have, tried to milk 850 $ for a new computer (ECU), and pushed me into taking the car to the dealer to have it fixed. The dealer fixed it by fixing the wiring that Gene did wrong to begin with. ================= The whole story ====================== The story started when I got Crankshaft and Camshaft sensor error codes on my Nissan Altima 2005. I bought the parts from Autozone and replaced them myself. It turned out that after spending 5 hours working on getting to a hard to reach sensor, it didn't fix the problem so I decided to take the car to Gene to have it fixed. He proceeded re-wiring a connector that would no longer clip in after I undid the crankshaft sensor. That didn't fix it. He told me the sensors I got from Autozone were no good based on research he did online in auto forums and that I needed OEM sensors. I let him do the job. He replaced the sensors with the dealer sensors and the problem didn't go away. Next he checked all the wiring for which he charged me 120$ diagnosis fee (dealer charges 90$). He told me it all checked out fine and that I needed to replace the computer (ECU) for something like 850 dollars. So I took the car to the dealer to have the computer reprogrammed because usually computers don't just break to the point of no way to repair them. He did encourage me to have the dealer replace the computer so I give him that. Reprogramming the computer didn't fix the problem so I gave the dealer another 90 for diagnosis of the problem. The dealer fixed the problem immediately after for 40 dollars! It was the wiring that was bad which Gene redid, and diagnosed for 200$. Total rip-off Gene. Stay away. If you can't do the job yourself, take it to your dealer. lesson learned for 370$ fee from Gene, 210$ from the dealer, 70$ in parts from Autozone, 5 hours of time wasted, frustration, and inconvenience of having to ask friends for rides for 5 days. Ultimately I took the car back to Gene after the dealer fixed it so that he can see what the dealer did. He refunded me 203$ which included diagnosis and CKP sensor replacement sensor. I'm still down 360$ though for the other stuff he did and the money I had to give to the dealer to diagnose, do what Gene did again and re-program the ECU which Gene said was bad. He also said that I didn't deserve part of the refund because I was the one who broke the connector I had him fix in the first place. The good part is that I got to hang out with my friend who helped me fix it for the 5 hours.
