A: As far as American-Chinese food goes, the food is very good at Dragon Wok and always hits the spot!

Q: positive

A: Good food. I ate there everyday while I was in vegas. The only downside is the service staff. Once there was no one to take the order for 20 min even when there was no line. Another time their credit card machine was down so I had to go and get cash from the atm. But the food more than makes up for the bad service. The problem I think is that the place is heavily under staffed.

Q: positive

A: This place opened three days ago and they are off to a good start. The location is a historic shop right on Main St. in Downtown Mesa. The decor is "arty" with lots of custom art for sale adorning the original brick walls. The owner is friendly and outgoing. Plus, they have a couple of tables outside on the sidewalk with shade. The Pizza is excellent (NY Style). I managed to get two slices and a drink for $5.50. They also bake and had a wide selection of pastries and specialty cakes.

When I walked into to Herbs and Rye, it was almost pitch black. It took a minute for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. I was greeted by the hostess and walked over to the bar. I looked around and immediately was reminded of Fangtasia from True Blood. There's an old school vibe with the brick walls, red and black wallpaper, chandeliers. and private dark leather booths. The background music was modern and made me feel like I was a vamp tramp. (Yeah, I'm a dork.) I know the theme is prohibition but I couldn't help but think of Fangtasia. Needless to say, I really dug the vibe and decor. My friends and I came for happy hour. I was a little disappointed that cocktails weren't on the happy hour menu as I read about how well crafted and delicious they are. I was on a budget so I settled on a draft beer which was like $4-5 (I can't recall). The best part about happy hour is the food. Unlike other restaurants where you get small bites off of the appetizer menu, here you get 50% off hefty entrees. I ordered a Kansas City Steak Strip with Truffle Mac and Cheese for $15! My husband got the Flat Iron Steak with Jalapeno Cream Corn. We all ordered different items off of the happy hour food menu and everything tasted like it was fine dining. When our waiter mentioned their homemade donuts, we were sold. The donuts came with two types of dipping sauce but I preferred to eat them plain. They were so fresh and fluffy and definitely worth saving room for. Service was wonderful. We never had an empty glass. Our waiter was friendly and answered all of our questions. I would definitely come back again to try the cocktails and to have another perfectly cooked steak with the mouth watering truffle mac and cheese. Maybe next time I'll sit at the bar and try to look dark and mysterious to match the vibe of this place.
