A: I have been a regular customer of Postinos Arcadia for about 2 years. I initially fell in love w/ the ambiance and wonderful bruschetta but to make it better, it is within walking distance of my home. Unfortunately I have been disappointed by my last two visits to Postinos. Most recently I went Tues. evening (5/10/11) at about 6 p.m. I ordered a Bruschetta and bottle of wine. The bruschetta came out quickly but tasted stale. Really, it seemed like it had been assembled hours earlier and sat on the counter waiting for the order. So sad. I thought, "this is mediocre at best". The service was ok, but again, pretty mediocre. I hate to say it, but it seems like Postinos Arcadia might just be getting comfortable with their reputation and has stopped caring about the quality of food and service they were so well known for. I want to acknowledge that Tues. evenings come w/ a coupon for a reduced board and bottle of wine after 8 p.m. I was there at prime dinner hour and felt like I was treated as a customer coming only for the "Special of the Day". I could go just about anywhere in Arcadia and find mediocre bruschetta and service and pay a whole lot less.
Q: negative

A: The ruben was awful and the service, this place and food is not the same anymore.
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:

Answer: I think if this place dropped "Resort" from its name, it would avoid a lot of confusion. This is not a resort - it's really not even a hotel. Cibola Vista is vacation club/timeshare property. Sure, they have a "concierge" ... well, at least they might. They have a little office that says "Concierge" on the door, but I never saw anyone in there. I think this is a good example of why Cibola Vista is not a resort, despite whether they're holding themselves out as one. When one thinks of a concierge, you think of that guy or gal who seems to know everything, knows how to get tickets, where the best restaurants are, etc. Even if Cibola Vista actually has a warm body with the title "Concierge", I'm pretty sure all they have is a piece of paper from the local chamber of commerce listing the local establishments. I seriously doubt it's anything more than that.

Output: Gratuity is ALWAYS added, so be careful! That "tip" is what is most important here. I mean, it's a sushi restaurant in Arizona. That's about a 6-hour, over-the-speed-limit drive to the nearest ocean. Oh yeah...one more thing: the all-you-can-eat-sushi limited menu is rice HEAVY. I wonder why. :P

output: I'll admit that I've only been to this particular hot yoga studio, but it was definitely when they were still affiliated with Bikram Yoga and taught just Yin, Mars, and Bikram classes. That was before they expanded and changed up their classes to incorporate more--seminars, classes, and rooms. Even though this studio is a bit pricey, they do offer a variety of classes--Venus Beginner/Hot Yoga (Bikram yoga influence), Power Yoga, Vinyasa hot yoga, power yoga, Vinyasa (Flow), Asthanga, Baptiste, Russian Kettlebell, Hot Pilates and Zumba classes. They have classes all day long (5:30am-11pm Mon-Thurs, 5:30am-9pm Fri., and 7am-9pm Sat. and Sun.) They also offer mat and towel rental, water, and lockers (make sure to bring your own lock), in addition to an area for showering. They're also suggested tip/donation boxes for each instructor (between the bathrooms). My understanding is that Yin and Earth classes are taught at a slower pace. The Mars classes, though, are definitely a great workout, and taught at a faster pace--but I especially love Mark's class. Pilates is definitely a great workout (for 60 minutes) and regardless of the instructor--Gabriella (seems to have more of a bootcamp feel), Martin (stickler about form, or Carolyn (stays generally with the traditional Pilates mat exercises/series), to name a few--the only difference is that they incorporate their own personal tweaks. For anyone not used to a hot yoga or pilates class, just make sure to take the classes at your own pace--take a knee or child's pose, or leave the room momentarily. The Russian Kettlebell class, taught by Martin, is also a great class, and is the only weight-resistance (kettlebell) class offered. The class lasts 1.5 hours, but for some first-timers, you have the option of leaving after the first hour. I definitely recommend that you try this out at least once. They do offer (for Vegas residents) a deal where you pay $10 for the first class and your second class is free with their card (located at the front). If you were lucky enough to get a deal on Groupon or Livingsocial, you should also check out the various classes that they offer. Just make sure that you're prepared to be mat-to-mat with others, since they really pack people into their rooms--especially the small room. Also, it isn't uncommon to see girls in bathing suits or sports bras/spandex shorts, as well as guys in speedos or really tight/short shorts. I also recommend that you bring a towel, yoga mat, and water. They're also becoming sticklers (more strict) about arriving late for class--at least that's what the girl at the front told me, so make sure to arrive with at least some time to spare and check out the schedules online to ensure that they've not changed the times/classes on you unannounced...

A:
This review is based on the infamous Ladies Night on Thursdays. I was invited by a friend who had a friend as a promoter like the last two girls did. However, we did not receive special attention really. The night consists of the appetizer which was this pretty good bread with a ricotta spread. My second favorite thing of the courses. Next was the salad, which was just spinach leaves and vinegar dressing. Not something I would eat because it was a little too boring for me. Than came the entree of green beans, mash potatoes (the had some other fancy name), and then a dish of steak and fish. Salmon I think. I do not eat fish, but my friends said it was not cooked or something. They love fish and couldn't even eat it. The steak was really and my favorite of the whole night was the mash potatoes. Those were good. Finally was the dessert which was creme brulee, which was awful. They burnt the brown sugar on stop of it. It was hard and nasty. The rest of it just was not good at all to me. I like the atmosphere of the place, but the sound is terrible. I could not hear my friends, who were sitting right next to me. The band was good, but it was way too loud. I am yelling at people just to have a conversation. I hate that in a place. I get if its a club or some place that is suppose to be loud, but when it not it is just unnecessary. The staff was good. They refilled our drinks when needed, gave me a new napkin cloth after ever course, and made sure we were doing good. Overall, I just was not impressed. Maybe if I go on a different night than ladies night, but I think it would be too expensive for my taste anyway.
