Answer: Ate here last night for the 2007 Island hop dinner. It was a fixed 5 course menu with wine pairings. And everything was excellent. The first course was pupu style Honoka'a spiced sirloin steak. It was a very tasty little starter paired with a Chalone Monterey Pinot Noir...excellent. The second course was pan-flashed big island abalone and crab salad. I think this was my favorite. I dont think its on the everyday menu yet, but they mentioned it would be soon. Third course was seared rare ono sashimi with lobster. Again, this was an amazing dish and the pairing with Bochendal Grand Cuvee reserve South African sauvignon blanc was perfect. I dont usually drink white wines, but that one was really good. Forth and main course was Grilled venison chop, kalbi pork, and Thai citrus shrimp. Probably my least favorite of the night, but still very good. I think I might have just been getting full, or drunk off all that wine :) It was paired with Rosenblum San Francisco Bay zinfandel...thats a good wine too. Dessert was Guava chiffon shortcake with lilikoi and strawberries. Yummy! Overall, the whole dinner was great. And for $85 per person, I left feeling like I got a really great deal on some amazing food. On top of all that, they asked trivia questions about Hawaii between the courses, and I won a $35 Roys seafood cookbook, so that made it even more worth it. And all I had to do was name 6 of the Hawaiian islands...If you want to get invited to these special nights, all you have to do is go to the website and sign up. I definately recommend it. They are fun, educational, and we met some really nice people.

Answer: My first run in Phoenix was at Reach 11 and it was great. I wasn't expecting the park to have so many different options of activities that you can do on their property. The 5k was fun and the trail was definitely unique with ups and downs throughout the run making it that much more of a challenge! We are looking forward to going back and biking or enjoying the trail now that it has cooled off enough. Overall: A Great park, lots of parking, plenty of activities for all ages!

Answer:
This place has gone way down hill from the last time I ate here. I came here with my mom about 2 months ago for dinner at around 5:30ish. It was pretty busy but not over ally crowded. We got seated right away which was nice but had to wait about 5 minutes before our waiter came to our table. After getting our drinks and ordering our food we had to wait a good 30 minutes before our food came out. I ordered the 'chicken tacos al carbon' and immediately my order was wrong. I asked for corn tortillas and got flour. I also asked for a side of guacamole but got sour cream instead? Okay I like sour cream but would like what I ordered. I had to wait another 5 minutes for someone to come by so I could tell them the 2 things they messed up and then had to wait another 10 minutes just for my food to me corrected! My mom's food came out cold and after mine came out the correct way it was cold. Needless to say we ate dinner at home because the food was not worth eating. The only good thing was the drinks and chips and salsa. The manager didn't even come over to say anything about what happened and we still had to pay the bill for full price which was WAY overpriced. This place used to be so good but has gone downhill fast. I won't be coming back here probably for a while unless they change up the way their service is.
