I am not a meat eater but love their bacon mac & cheese and the greens! My hubby had the pilled pork with coleslaw and said it was some of the best he has ever had (and we loved in Atlanta for 10 years)...The owners are seriously sweet with great personalities! I cannot wait to meet up with again!

Came here for the soft opening, they were offering a free entree and drink at different times during their three day soft opening before their actual Grand Opening. We were there on a Tuesday night right before opening, got there after class so around 4:20, no one was really around, but by the time they opened at 5 there was a line leading to the parking lot. And when we left the parking lot was full and still a long line out. Everyone loves free food!
I had the Bun Bo Hue, it was pretty decent. It wasn't really spicy at all. It contained a lot of pork meat which was okay as well. My mom would say the meat "smelled" as she is picky with meats it definitely smelled like eating a pig. My friend and I ordered the same dish, the meat in his dish was smaller than mine, and since I don't really eat pork, I gave him mine, which was when he commented that mine was larger.
Second time I went was for lunch special, had the Pho Dac Biet, which was also pretty good. It wasn't anything special that stood out. Both times the portion size seemed smaller than it was at Pho So 1 or any other locations I've been at, but it might have been because of the promotion they were giving out. So the sizes might have gotten bigger. It was free food so it was worth trying, I'll probably go again to make final conclusions if I'd go again or not.
The thai tea everyone got came out pretty fast, but it wasn't strong. All the foods came out pretty fast, but I'm sure they had it ready as there was a very long line and with certain specials being free, I didn't think anyone would really stray from the 'free' menu too much.

Tried out DJT and went for the tasting menu. The food and service were outstanding and after the meal, I would consider it one of the top 5 restaurants in Vegas. Their wine list is well thought out, the beer list comprehensive and the "soda list" inventive. The Scallop appetizer was amazing as was the Squab appetizer. The Colorado Lamb was also a highlight and the desserts were light and flavorful. I also liked the way they paired wines, beer and sake with the courses - they weren't afraid to step over what some traditionalists would consider boundaries. Overall, it was a memorable meal and reasonably priced for the level of ingredients, detail and care. I'd go back in a second.

I have tried a few healthy \/ organic returaunts in town and walked away feeling like i missed out on taste. MHM has a way of making the meal healthy without sacraficing the flavor which is the joy of eating :) The portions are big without overloading on calories. Love the fact you can ala carte the items and build your own meal . Great addition to the usual fare .Way to go guys :)

This is my favorite pizza place in my 'hood.
Nuclear fries and Deep Dish with pepperoni.
So, I've been a patron of Metro since High School. (major date hang out) And the one on Decatur and Flamingo is still my favorite location. They have this great seating section with a drive in movie theme that is retro without making you annoyed, it's just cool.
It certainly has a malt shop aesthetic but thankfully, no waitresses named Flo and no one Karaoke singing on top of tables for tips.
The Pizza is awesome, and I think I would go so far to say that it's Vegas' original Pizza Joint.

It is what it is and it ain't what it ain't.
If you've been to one subway then you've been to them all. What stands out from this one and the others is that its 24 hours, has a drive thru, shares space with Winchell's, and is well kept.
After midnight only one person works here so expect some delay.
Side note: anyone else feel weird ordering subway through the drive thru?

Located on the mall level of Bally's hotel, Ichiban Sushi was really quite good for a little non-descript restaurant. The chef (at time of visit) was from Hawaii so he made some killer poki for us (including friends from the island). The sashimi was really fresh and the a la carte items were also very very tasty. We ended up eating there 2x out of a 4 day stay so that's saying something.

There are tons of places to get married in Vegas. Some of them are cheap chapels (think Britney Spears) and others are extremely expensive hotel chapels. It's hard to find something in between.
Chapel in the Clouds offers a venue that is more romantic and different from the cheesy chapels for the same price (or a little more).
The photographer is great and you can get married on the 109th floor on the observation deck (overlooking the Strip). I give it four stars for the price!

Came here for the first time, visiting from Cali. Had the mini ceviche tostadas.. one fish one shrimp and one scallop. They were absolutely delicious! Too bad everone attacked it before i could take a pic. The service was awesome. Aileen was our waitress. Super sweet, attentive and courteous. Ohhh!! THERE WAS LIVE MUSIC too! We'll definitely be back time and time again.

If their Shanghai Xiao Long Bao 小籠包 is the only item on their menu, I would still be dropping by this latest Chinese restaurant to open up in Las Vegas's greater Chinatown area. Now before you all go crazy and question why it is only getting 4 and not 5 stars on Yelp, let me explain.
It is good, not the best I've ever had, but I enjoyed it. In fact, after my unplanned XLB crawl of the 2 newest restaurants that serve it to open up on the west side, I can say A & K Chinese Restaurant (aka Heng Long Chinese Restaurant, if going by their name on the credit card receipt) was the clear winner of the head-to-head XLB CHALLENGE over Edamame Restaurant on Wednesday, May 7th, 2014.
You don't have to take my word for it though. What I think is "good" could be "that is the worst, flavorless blah blah I have ever had!" (Funny random thought: what if water is being judged right now?)
Anyway, seems like we are blessed with more and more XLB options in Las Vegas, which means to make it, the chefs all have to up their games. Translation: consumers are the winner. Yay!
I also had their Three Treasures Dumpling 三鮮水餃 (12pcs) per order and it was pretty good too. The fact they hand make these is just wonderful.
On my first visit I also tried their Pan Fried Pork Bun 生煎包 (8 pcs) $7.95. If you go by yourself, this item alone will be enough to send you home with a full belly. It was just okay, the doughy bun on the outside is thinker than what I have had in Taiwan (which was THE BEST 生煎包 at that busy night market), so maybe not fair comparison.
Beef Pancake Roll 牛肉卷餅 $7.95. Decent. There are better ones I have had within a 2 mile radius.
Hot Purple Sweet Potato Juice 紫薯汁, small $2.25. It was an experience to try this. It is basically purple sweet potato drink, not really sweet, but a creamy dessert alternative beverage.
Service overall was good. I happened to have been there when they were not busy, so that might have helped too. Plus I can speak enough Mandarin Chinese to get by in restaurants, so that certainly helped.
Decor\/Ambiance was pleasant. Music playing in the background was not Chinese, but instrumentals of popular American songs, which you probably wouldn't even pay attention to unless you focus on it.
Price\/Value: I think it was good overall.
Note: this is NOT your typical Chinese takeout restaurants. I must admit I am not familiar with most of their menu offerings, because I am not at all an expert on Shanghainese cuisine. But they also described their cuisine as 新派江浙 (New style of Jiangsu and Zhejiang - per Google Translate, which is still like Hexcodes to me). But come for their XLB, and if you are adventurous enough, you can explore their other menu items.
Expect an UYE for Xiao Long Bao 小籠包 crawl and another one to just explore this restaurant's menu (yeah, I am definitely gonna need backup).
Bonus: Love that American Express is accepted along with other forms of credit card payments. :)

Who would of thought, looking for an open sushi joint at 2 in the afternoon would be a chore. After being turned down by two japanese restaurants, that opened later in the afternoon, my friends and I decided to try our luck elsewhere. We drove by a couple of strip malls, which vaguely advertised a sushi joint by displaying "sushi" on their directory, along with their requisite "massage" parlor. So, we continued driving around for a bit until we actually saw a sushi bar that had a name. Kobe Sushi Bar, the words displayed in a sports bar kinda font. Alright, we'll give it a shot.
The interior looks a lot better than the store front, strip mall look. The tables and chair are black with a modern feel. And there is a sushi bar in the back, with a display board on the wall, listing all of Kobe's specialty rolls and prices. Whoever, wrote the specials made the 1's look like 4's, so we thought at first, all the rolls costed about $45, instead of $15.
The menu has a lunch special, which consists of teriyaki bowls, pan fried and hot soup noodles, three combination bento boxes (chicken, beef, salmon), korean bbq ribs, and a sushi combo. Also, there is a separate sushi list, which you can mark off, to order.
The sashimi was decent. The saba (mackarel) was ok. The hamachi was pretty good and the white tuna was really good. The rolls were also pretty good. The spicy tuna roll with more tuna on the outside had a nice spicy kick to it.
For appetizers, we got the yakitori which was ok, the tempura combo came with shrimp, calamari, and vegetables, and a soft shell crab.
**Soft Shell Crab Review**
As always, I must try the soft shell crab at any new sushi joint.
I give Kobe's a thumbs down. The crab looked really dinky and battered. No dipping sauce for the crab except for the tempura sauce we already had.
We also ordered a chicken bento box. It came with miso soup, salad, a california roll. The chicken looked preprocessed because the pieces looked so darned symmetrical.
All in all the meal was decent. Some sake and beer with our food made the experience a pretty good time.

I was looking for an exciting, unusual, and big time blowout surprise for my boyfriend's birthday present. A friend had told me about Bullets and Burgers, so I looked it up online. After reading through the website, I thought 'this might really be 'The Place!' ... so I called.
I spoke with Russ and explained that I was looking for a unique and fabulous experience gift for my BF. I have to say, WOW! Russ really listened and helped me set up a gift package that would ROCK!
Russ had gone over all the details and set everything up so we could just have at it when we got there. Our appointment was for 1P and sure enough, when we pulled in, there was Russ, Ali and Robert waiting for us. I think Bill was in shock for the first 8 minutes or so, because he had always wanted to shoot the Big Guns and now, HE WAS GOING TO!
Ali took charge of us and showed us the large array of guns we could shoot. He let us check them out and then decide on the ones we wanted to shoot. We also added a few more rounds, heh heh!
After a short safety briefing (we explained that we both have CCW permits) we headed out to the huge outdoor range. WOW! We went down into a bunker to shoot the first 3 guns. Ali was right there, patient and super and willing to help us in any way. He was so nice and quite funny. To be honest, I think he was the icing on the cake! Anyway, he gave us our eyes and ears and let us have at it - TOTAL BLAST!
We then walked over to the long range shooting gallery to shoot the .50 calibers. HOLY FRIKEN COW, MAN! Now THERE is a WEAPON. One again, Ali was key to our fun as he exudes expertise and ability - after all, there is nothing better than to have total confidence in a guy who is shooting a gun that can blow up a tank. Yet he was fun and delightfully entertaining. He made us feel like VIPs, stars of the show. I do not know how else to say it, but he made us feel like it was his mission to give us the best time possible while we were in his company. And the outdoor range was spectacular!
Once we finished shooting all of our guns, Ali took several pictures of us in different poses holding a few of the guns for our Memoirs, lol! If we had not looked so funny (the wind was BLOWING by the time we took pics, wild hair) I would have posted them.
We headed back to the 'barracks' to wind down. Russ had come back over to greet us. He took our burger order (medium rare X 2!), drink order and called it in so the restaurant could start on it.
We then walked over to the restaurant and ate a SPECTACULARLY FABULOUS, TASTY AS IT GETS burger! Now mind you, I am a picky eater and particularly when it comes to beef. I had read all the reviews where ppl had exclaimed about how good the burgers here are.... And thought, 'whaaaaaatever'. But I am here to tell you, they serve SUPERIOR TASTING burgers. Even if you do not shoot the guns, HAVE THE BURGER.
Once we finished, Russ sent out a big, hot Birthday brownie with a giant scoop of yummy ice cream on the top! OMGOSH!! What a great surprise! He should open a hotel there, because, after all this, we kinda didn't want to leave.
If you want to shoot Big Guns - DON'T MISS THIS PLACE! Like a great Burger - DON'T MISS THISPLACE! Want to surprise someone with a fun, unique, and wholly VIP experience - DON'T MISS THIS PLACE!
This is the first place ever that I do not have a Helpful Hint on how to improve - It really was perfect and I can't recommend Russ, Ali and Bullets& Burgers enough.

I was in the mood for a damn good burrito and knowing I dont like the place across the street I drove five miles to this cookie cutter replica of a fast food chain desperately trying to be an independent Mexican Restaurant.
The food is average at best very plain and bland. The food on the topping bar was old looking and past its expiration time.
The employees were pleasant and the only redeeming thing about this store.

After months driving past their "opening soon" signage, today the OPEN light was on! Went in to a clean and modern space, friendly staff, and boba drinks. Food menu will be available soon with Japanese snacks and desserts.
First visit I tried the chrysanthemum milk tea with boba- the boba was just right but the tea was fairly light in flavor. BF really enjoyed it though, and I appreciated that it wasn't super-sweet as a lot of milk tea boba drinks can be.
Space is a little bare with nothing on the walls- would love to see them add games and a bit more personality to the décor. Will be back to try the spam musubi and creative-sounding desserts like marshmallow tiramisu!
EDIT 3\/14: They've added paint and a bunch of flat-screens for the menu, looks better. Finally tried the spam musubi and chocolate plantation tea, rice was unseasoned and tea tasted watered-down, boba was mushy. Girl taking orders is too quiet to be heard over the college kids playing hackey sack and shouting about videogames through the door to the neighboring business. Glad they're capitalizing on the college crowd, but the lack of quality and service are a deterrent for the post-college clientele.

What the hell? Yelp don't got Swish? Awww hell nawww...Hehe that's my ghetto supa star!
Ok so Swish is actually the first shabu shabu place in Vegas. I looked when I moved here. This was the only place. I needed something to get my shabu shabu fix taken care of. Shabu Shabu is when you get a hot pot of water or broth and you "swish your meat\/veggies\/seafood" to cook it and eat. I have this thing with interactive food. I love to play with food. "BE THE BOLOGNA SANDWICH!"
So you come into this strip mall not knowing this place is here. I'm sorry but this place was not easy to find. But yo support yo local businesses. The table setup is kinda cool. It's like a square counter with everyone having their own seperate hot pot. It's a very simple menu. Veggies, meat, kobe, or seafood. You get a healthy size....and a hungry size. They need like Hulk size. But then again this explains so many skinny asians. You can get a variety of apps from Edamame, seaweed salads, miso soup. But the good stuff comes in 2 forms Shabu Shabu form....or Sukiyaki form
For dessert - have some Mochi ice cream and rub yer full belly. Mmmmm So this place did place in Best of Las Vegas Staff picks 2006. If you get lost it's on Sahara near Buffalo!
Now I need to find a Japanese curry house....

I couldn't be happier because they opened a Filibertos less than a mile from me.
Who needs an Egg McMufffin when you can get the best egg, bacon and cheese burrito around at Filibertos Drive Thru window.
Every once in a while, i get a big machaca plate breakfast to take to work and split it with my 2 teammates. Breakfast for 3, and only about $6!
I have also noticed that the people who work at this location are especially nice and attentive.

I was being my usual indecisive self about what to have for dinner last night, when the girlfriend frusteratedly pulled in to Ming's. I have seen this place at the foot of Shaw Butte Mountain many times but never eaten there and I am glad that we did!
We were greeted possibly more enthusiastically than I have ever been greeted at the door. This was one friendly server and must have had something to do with management or ownership to be that excited to be there. He was indeed our server as well and the enthusiasm and friendliness lasted the whole meal.
The food had flavor. Not an overall mushy Chinese dish whatever flavor either. Each piece of each dish was individually flavored yet well tied. The tiny little corn on the cobs tasted like corn, the pea pods like pea pods and Jesus H. the shrimp tasted like shrimp, not the thawed shrimp textured blandness that you often get from an inexpensive meal.
We each had soup and an eggroll then shared pork fried rice and two other dishes which were all delicious and totalled less than $30 dollars. amazing prices.
The only down side really was the scallops. they were a little chewy, but hell they were $7!
The decor is average chinese food place but there is a seperate bar attached which we did not get a chance to check out but may be in the near future.

Yes, I'm reviewing Taco Bell.
I'm not going into detail about the food. It's well made and if you're going to Taco Bell you already know what it's like.
What I'd like to shine a light on is the excellent staff at this particular location. I've never been to a fast food joint with a more likeable and professional staff.
The managers in particular deserve major props. Both of the gentlemen are polite, incredibly friendly and actually seem to enjoy what they do. They joke, laugh and generally act like good human beings.
Even though I try to avoid fast food, the pleasant experience I have at this Taco Bell has given me extra incentive to gnaw on a burrito every now and then.

After the VYE at Desert Mission Food Bank, many of the Yelpers stuck around to grab brunch someplace in Sunnyslope. While there were a lot of options to chose from, I'm proud my fellow Yelpers decided to try a place that had yet to be reviewed: The Eye Opener Family Restaurant (formerly Tom & Tiny's).
This Phoenix family-owned diner is open 7 days a week from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. for breakfast and lunch and is a morning ritual for many of Sunnyslope's longtime residents. One of my favorite things about Sunnyslope is the small town feel with access to all the urban amenities of Phoenix. Places like the Eye Opener feed that sense of place. Hal (the owner) is a kind man who loves what he does, is liable to come by your table himself to fill your coffee cup and make sure everything is OK . It is evident that he views his customers as extended family.
Here are some of the things I like to eat at the Eye Opener:
Standard eggs, toast and hash brown breakfast
the Chef omelet - egg whites only (filled with yummy things like ham and green chili and topped with cheese)
Gyro (the tzasiki sauce is delicious and is flavored with dill!)
It's not on the menu, but Hal makes his own hummus and it's just delicious!!

My fiancé and I went to Archi's when the kid was in school. We asked for the Pork Pad Thai. We also ordered the chicken panang and they both were a delight.
The restaurant was pretty comfortable spacious unlike many Thai bistros or restaurants. I appreciated the decor it was very nice inside. I gave it a four because they were not busy at all on our waitress was not really on top of our drinks. It was a warm day and spicy food ='s Need for water and Tea. After our meal we had some scrumptious Coconut ice cream after our meal and it helped cool us off. Being that the place is one block from our home it will be a new spot for me and my girl.
I posted a menu link for this Thai restaurant. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

I've found my local Chinese restaurant.
I popped in here with my family the night before the opening. The owners were having a massive family dinner, but they still sat us with big smiles and enthusiasm.
This is your typical local Chinese joint. Lots of familiar items, along with some Chef specials that I haven't seen anywhere else in town.
My favorite dish from this part of the menu was the Spicy Honey Chicken. Different than Orange Chicken, because this had a more robust, and balanced flavor. It didnt taste like crispy chicken tossed in syrup. Vegetables accompanied this dish.
The Hot n Sour soup is delicious, flavorful.
Now for the item that set this place apart: home made chili paste\/sauce. This is the stuff dream are made of. Spicy, delicious and is like heaven.
This spot is brand new, family owned and worth the trip even if you don't live on this side of town.
I can't wait to come back!

Went here for our two free tacos the other Tuesday. The place is clean, the service was as can be expected. I hate how all fast food places seem to give priority to the drive through. Tacos were actually good! I haven't had Jack In the Box Tacos since my college drinking days when they were a 2:30 am staple.

This place just opened up in the Bermuda Triangle that is Sahara Pavilion(sahara\/decatur)
Grand Opening is May 8th in the old Spirit of Cuba location.
Today they had a fundraiser to benefit Caring 4 Kids Foundation from 5-8 pm. $5 donation you can get ANY & Everything you want off the menu & a drink!
My son & I each got a burrito & chips\/salsa-we got a barbacoa & chicken. They were huge with rice & choice of beans plus pico,guac & more. The meats were fantastic-real spicy.
The service was outstanding , the place was clean & inviting with music pumped in.
There are about 10 4 person tables and a few 2 person tables. Probably under 40 people seating indoors, but they have outdoor patio seating too.
The only missing is a salsa bar.
I'd rather go here anytime over Roberto's & Baja Fresh in this neighborhood.

I recently discovered this gem in Cave Creek. The coffee is excellent, atmosphere is warm and inviting and the service is friendly. I wouldn't dream of asking for more, but there is more. They also serve food and judging from the delicious sandwich I had (a ham and swiss on multi grain, grilled, of the "build your own" variety), I will be back for more as soon as I make it out to Cave Creek again. The patio area is a lovely place to enjoy the sun in a true desert setting. We enjoyed watching birds (Cardinals, Cactus Wrens, etc) and also got to meet the owner's dog, a sweet and laid back afghan strongly resembling a stuffed animal.

When you walk into DW Bistro, you get the feeling that you've entered an upper scale Strip eatery. The decor is very modern, whimsical and warm. With a NYC loft feel to it. The staff is very friendly and the owners Dalton and Bryce greet with a warm smile and hearty hello. I was there to take-out lunch, but decided to sit at the bar and enjoy my surroundings.
I started by ordering a Jamaican Ginger Beer and was instantly blown away. It was delicious and reasonably priced at $3 (it comes with free refills). I ordered their Caesar Salad, which had a flare to it. The dressing was a chipotle caesar dressing, drizzled over whole fresh lettuce with whole shaved parmesan and a crostini. It was fantastic. The added spice of the chipotle was a nice touch and turned an ordinary Caesar Salad into an extraordinary starter.
For my main course I ordered the Jamaican Curry Chicken. I'm usually not a huge curry fan, but Bryce, the owner, talked me into it. I am sure glad that he did. The chicken was tender and melted in my mouth. The curry wasn't over-powering and complimented the chicken, onions and thyme well. I was very pleased with the dish.
I splurged a little and ordered their Red Velvet cake for dessert. It was perfect! The best Red Velvet that I have ever had. Moist, with white-chocolate shavings that just melted in my mouth. It's served with a small cup of raspberries and sugar-free whipped cream.
DW Bistro is the perfect place to eat for the westside. I plan on going back for dinner with the wife this weekend. My overall experience was delightful and I left feeling satisfied in both the stomach, taste buds and pocketbook.

I have been going here for a few years now; I wish I found out about this the day I was born.
Service:
I don't think it gets much more personal than this. They care about you -- the customer. The whole Casella family is amazing (they run the joint).
Food:
Their food is insane.
What I recommend:
Chicken Salad - I get this on the wheat roll with tomato and lettuce
Italian - leave it the way it comes on a white roll. It has some provolone, two meats, tomatoes, lettuce, oil\/vinegar dressing, and some oregano -- trust me - leave it alone!
Steak w\/ the works - so when I first heard of this "steak with the works" -- I was like "Are you serious? Why the hell would I want to put your delicious home made marinara sauce on a cheese steak? That's poppycock!"
(rant\/tangent)
Listen to them. They know what they're talking about. You want a freaking cheese steak in Arizona? Well get it from someone that lived in Philly and decided to grace us with his presence back 33 years ago and say "HEY -- This! Is a cheese steak." (angels ahhh ahhh ahhhhh ahhhh). Which reminds me - they've been in the same neighborhood spot for over 33 years. Family owned.
Anyways, so cheese steak, I would get extra cheese, because well, I love cheese. You can order this to go and eat it at home, but I would rather eat it in the car, then let this baby depreciate. It is so damn good. GET IT
So they also have sides, pasta salad, bomb, fresh made lemon aid and iced tea (Arnold Palmer people!)
Cannolis - o wow - freshly piped - insane - delicious things
Pizzelles -- made fresh by a lovely lady that you'll usually find behind the counter! Chocolate, Regular flavor, I believe lemon. Bomb -- wow oh wow!
Bread: white or wheat roll - baked fresh by a local bakery
I have coined the term: "So good, it's worth the drive"
I haven't been here in about two months, I've been quite busy, but am going to make it this Saturday for the people I manage. Free lunch for the bunch! (I'm paying)
There is only one Casellas -- you must go here. You must try it. If you don't like it -- email me and I will refund you. I will also call you a moron in the process.
Oh and prices, jesus is it cheap!

Delicious authentic Mexican food! Complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was quite good and the ingredients tasted fresh. For dinner, we went with the owners' favorites (noted on the menu) of chicken tacos and spicier beef tacos and shared the plates (2 of us). Both were very good in terms of flavor but the portions were too small. I could have easily eaten 2-3 more of their dinner portions which, at $12-14 a plate, means I would hesitate to eat here again. Finally, the churro desert was fantastic! The portion here was no problem at all as it was easily enough to split with somebody else. Indoor decor was really cool. Owners seem like very nice people and I'd like to see them succeed. Overall positive experience. If they were to increase dinner portions to be more comparable to other Mexican restaurants nearby then eating here would be a no brainer.

I've been working in the Village at Hayden complex for over 4 years now, and my family has owned a business in the complex for over 15, so I've eaten at all the restaurants that have been in (and out) of the complex over the last decade and a half at least once, if not more.
It's owned by The Collins Family, proprietors of Wally's American Pub. The concept is really exciting to me. It's all about American favorites made with mostly local and always fresh ingredients of the highest quality. The decor is soothing, with excellent jazz-styled music for listening pleasure. The booths are large and comfortable, and the entrance for the patio is through garage-style doors. Unique, inviting, and pleasing to the eye. The other detail I noticed and loved was the weight of the flatwear. Maybe it's just me, but I really prefer eating a good meal with heavy and comfortable utensils.
The cuisine is what you're really concerned with, so I'll get to that now (finally!). The only appetizer I've tried so far (because it's so amazing I can't stop ordering it!) is Dad's Grocery Bag. It comes with 3 cheeses (Manchego, Fresh Goat's Milk and Paremesean), 3 meats (Soppressata, Prosciutto and Capocollo), French loaf, olives, nuts and honey comb plated on a wooden cutting board, with the honey comb resting on a long-handled spoon. Now, if only my dad's grocery bag really carried all these delights when I was a little girl!
I'm a salad girl, largely because of my grain allergy (I save my grain consumption for delights like the bread and a craft brew), and they knocked the Seasonal Vegetable Chop out of the park. Tomatoes, beets, grapes, squash, corn, tomatoes, cabbage, manchego cheese and butter beans tossed in a parsley creamy champagne vinaigrette. Excellently executed, and something I would eat every day for the rest of my many-remaining days if I could afford to do so.
I've heard from a reliable source (my father, who is something of a fish nut) that the Blackened Red Fish was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection, as was the dirty orzo. And the Grilled Angus Burger is a serious meat-eaters delight, with excellent ground chuck and fresh veggies with Tillamook Cheddar.
Oh. And their hot tea! It's LOOSE LEAF brought to you in a nice little teapot. If only every dining establishment would recognize that loose leaf is so vastly superior to the bagged teas. Maybe they'll catch on soon.
For a restaurant that has been open less than a month, I have to say that they've completely hit it out of the park. My new fav lunch spot, in a complex where the Spotted Donkey, Zipps, and Tandoori Times vie for that spot. The Collins Family has another hit.

The last two times I've tried to go to Oregano's, the wait was sooo long (I'm talkin' an hour or more) that my friends and I decided to hit up NYPD Pizza next door instead. It's small, but cute and has a little upstairs bar. The food is good and inexpensive- but don't get the marinara pasta- I could make it better and that's not saying much. But the bruschetta is great and the cookies 'n' cream dessert rivals that of the infamous pizza cookie at Oregano's- it's that good!

Stopped by for the grand opening tonight. It was nice, but nothing particularly stand out special about it. Not bad, just not wow. Lot's of tv's for sport's bar viewing. A half indoor\/outdoor room where smoking is allowed since it is on an Indian reservation. I really like the roll up windows so we can enjoy our great weather. I hope to come back for happy hour soon and re-review.

I went here for a beer and food pairing event hosted by Dogfish Head Brewing. The meal was ok, the service was very good. I don't know what a normal dinner here would be like, but I am pretty sure some of the appetizers we were served could easily be purchased at Costco and the various courses were not nearly as good as I had expected. I don't know if they were unable to deliver great food due to the menu of this event or what, but I don't think I would ever go back.

Decent Chinese take-out. The Lo Mein is good, as are their shrimp and beef dishes. Did not care for their shrimp and lobster sauce. Their ribs can be hit or miss, depending on how fatty they are. Also did not care for their Won ton or egg drop soup. Their fried rice is good, but then, I've rarely had bad fried rice...

I think Macaroni Grill is a great place to take the fam, little ones included. It's not so much a romantic date spot, but it's still a fun, lively place to have some good Italian food.
For apps, they have a really good spinach and artichoke dip as well as some tasty mushroom raviolis.
For lunch and dinner, they have tons of pasta, pizza, sandwiches and soups to choose from as well as a pretty good wine and beverage list.
The kiddie menu isn't bad either and if I remember right, they give kids placemats to color on or something along those lines.
If you go, promise me you will try the dessert ravioli! Yum yum yum!

Love love D'Lite. Much closer for us than other locations and happily, the food is exactly the same. "Must-trys" include Cali Club, AZ Burro, and the breakfast Buzz icy drink.

A tropical motif is readily apparent as you cross the wood planks to enter this nicely situated bar\/restaurant in South Scottsdale. The food is above average, the servers are very friendly. The place got packed around 8:30 on a Friday, but a great place for a date, and its location makes it well situated for those going to one of the numerous clubs in the area.

I came here for their friends and family event, and while I typically wouldn't write about it since it was virtually gratis and it is their start-up week, I didn't even see potential in this place (I went to Bourbon Steakhouse for a similar type of gratis event, and it fucking rocked... I refuse to review them yet because I know I'll be back when they will actually be in operation). As a matter of fact, the only recurring thought I could muster during the entire meal (which, mind you, lasted just under 3 hours) was:
What the hell?
First bad experience here: sitting on the toilet, as a 5'9" woman, my feet were dangling. Bizarre. And the stalls are very looney-bin-esque... sterling silver from top to bottom with no obvious ventilation or way out if someone locks you in (yes, paranoid is the word you're searching for).
Second: The chairs are beyond uncomfortable, but wouldn't be so awful if I hadn't had to endure such a long-lasting meal (note to restaurants: this long-lasting concept? Good for relationships and, like, gum. Not so much for supper).
Third: I've had better food at pretty much anywhere that charges even a fraction of what this place does. It was kind of outrageous, but I didn't begin a violent rampage because, as mentioned, they were buying.
Four: Our wait time in between dishes averaged at about 15 minutes from picking up the dirty plates to dropping new ones. This isn't accounting for how long it took for them to clear our table, despite the 9842759873 servers, bussers, sommeliers, and bartenders milling around (I'm not even counting the armada of hostesses).
I can see many a Scottsdale douchebag or Eurotrash enjoying this place, but it's probably because (pardon me for being caustic) they haven't recovered their taste buds from last night's coke binge.
Sidenote: Our server was awesome. That said, he'll probably find something better very shortly.

I'm not crazy about Zipp's. Admittedly, their happy hour is good but it's almost like a couple hours of fair prices to make up for the other 18 hours a day of unfair prices. Not unfair in the outrageous sense, just slightly inflated when you're dealing with food that average at best.
It's a fun place to go in a huge group and pass around pitchers but not necessarily the best around. I would be more inclined to patronize Dos Gringos or a true dive to delve into those sorts of hijinks.
Zipp's not-so-comfortably straddles the line between pure sports bar and Scottsdale scene, since so many pre-partiers stop by in their clubbin threads on the way to Axis or Pussycat Lounge or wherever.
I have a theory that in the right group, any place can be a five star find, and I still believe it. Keep that in mind when you head towards Zipp's.

Decent Asian fusion food. The open air configuration of the restaurant can tend to make the place noisy, so not the spot for a romantic interlude. The service was above average.

New restaraunt in Scottsdale ... tucked back off Scottsdale Road just south of Shea on the East side fo the road. A little hard to find ... WELL worth the effort. Moulay and his wife have worked to change what was previously an old golf shop into a stylish, modern place. Comfortable and easy to relax here. The food was GREAT. Very fresh, unique flavor combinations and all selections well done, nicely presented and right sized portions. Anyone liking great Thai food will LOVE this place. When I asked for 8 out of 10 heat, I got exactly what I expected.
Moulay was in the restaraunt along with his wife and they talked freely with me about their concept in opening the restaraunt and what came through loud and clear was their commitment to making dishes fresh when they are ordered. The concept is executed wonederfully
I would highly recommend Takeda Thai ... great price, excellent value and a meal you will enjoy and return for often.

1. if you change your menu, post it new menu on your website
2. If you change your menu why to you take off all the great, yummy and according to my server popular items?
3. Seriously- because you own two other restaurants that do not serve Pinot Grigio (which is one on many reasons i don't go) you have to take over this one and remove a popular wine.
4. you blew it - with me and other....now it's Pomo, Alma, Drexel or all the other options.
5. Not all change is good

Update: I went back for dinner and was equally impressed. I had fish with some sort of sweet glaze and sauteed mushrooms. It was out of this world. Really really good. I splurged and went for dessert as well. Oh my god, everything was perfect. Service was excellent. Fox hit this one out of the park.
------------------------
I had the most fantastic lunch at Green House, which just opened a few weeks ago in the Kierland Commons outdoor shopping plaza. Oh so California, from the wine list and Cow Girl Creamery cheeses, to the fresh seasonal dishes gracing the menu. Elegant modern casual breezy restaurant that really feels like it was plucked right out of the Bay Area. The decor seemed one part California craftsman and one part Frank Lloyd Wright.
I totally splurged and had the Kobe beef burgers since I was dining solo. Yes, the plural is not a typo. The presentation is two mini burgers, aka sliders, with a square dish full of fries. I opted for a salad of tossed greens instead of fries to assuage my guilt. I washed it all down with not one but two delightful glasses of red.
I chatted up a mystery stranger at the bar, imparting some shopping advice (he was looking for that perfect Valentine gift for his lady), and he quite chivalrously paid for my lunch!! Hip hip hooray for random acts of kindness. The bartenders were super nice. Overall, one of my top lunches ever.

They are officially open TODAY! I lucked out and was gifted two free meals from their Facebook pre-opening promotions (and my mom couldn't use it -score one for me!). They also are giving (maybe only today? Not sure) all guests a free refillable cup and promise a free refill for all of August!
If you haven't been to a Zoe's before, it's fresh-tasting, healthier fast food. Their red pepper hummus is my absolute fave, and the chicken and salmon kabobs are the best. For about $10-12, I get at least 2 full meals (if I'm not being gluttonous..). With the chicken, you get 2 kabobs with veggies, plus rice, a side salad and pita. With the salmon, you get 2 kabobs with different veggies, plus a side Greek salad, raita, and pita with hummus. I do wish the chicken kabobs also came w\/ a freebie hummus, but it's fairly cheap to add a small side or buy a full side for a few more bucks.
The staff is super chipper...such as my receiving a "You're welcome very much" in response to my "thank you very much" to an employee who held the door open for me :)
Money saving tip: download their app and upload your receipts. Nearly every time I have done this (for their other locations) I find myself with a 'goodie' notification. Also, you get a free entree on your birthday (with purchase).

I ate here last night while staying at the Hyatt Gainey Ranch - but I would recommend this place even if you are not staying at the hotel. It is classic Italian food with a very modern twist. The interior is elegant but extremely modern, with a lovely wooden bridge taking you into the entryway with a very LARGE red door. Our waiter was very helpful and answered all of our questions.
My friend and I ordered a bottle of pinot grigio (not a surprise if you've read any of my other reviews) however they did not have the same kind that was available at the lobby bar about 100 feet away. That was a slight disappointment because that wine was VERY good. We started by splitting a salad, but as I learned there is really no need to split as they are very small - as a starter, but are very good. I could have easily eaten the whole thing myself. I cannot remember the name, as I could barely pronounce it last night, but it has grilled red onion, spring mix, and macadamia nuts - it was delicious. They also serve bread with a very tasty and slightly citrusy olive oil for dipping.
For my main course I ordered the penne pomodoro. It came with lots of delicious minced bacon and mushrooms, along with an arugula salad on top. It wasn't creamy like I was afraid it would be, but very good, with a slight kick to it. I loved it. My friend had the tortellini with buffalo mozzarella and she loved it, finished every bite.
We did not have enough room for dessert, but I bet it was great. Overall, out meal was about $85 for the 2 of us, not too pricey, but not for everyday dining. If you're looking for something different, I would highly suggest this for a night out. You can get valet parking, start with drinks in the lovely hotel lobby watching the sunset and venture over to Alto. And I almost forgot the best part...you get 2 free rides on the gondola with each meal. Yes a gondola, like in Italy, where the gondoliers even sing to you. I haven't gone yet, saving it for a romantic adventure - my friend and I decided it wouldn't be as romantic with the 2 of us.

Finally, an alternative! Way to go Larry. Great food and atmosphere. The best Reuben sandwich that I've had in Scottsdale\/Phoenix. I think it's important to remember that they had not even had their "grand opening" or advertised. Everyone that is here knows about it by word of mouth. That should tell you something about the food...
I returned and ate breakfast over the weekend. Great breakfast - we had the Holy Toledo which was French Toast, Eggs, Bacon and a bagel.

Wow, this place is spectacular! I was in town from San Francisco and happened to catch this a few days after opening. I wasn't expecting SF-quality high end food but I loved it!
All the cuisine was top notch, innovative and delicious. We had a party of 6 so got to try a lot of options. The Sous Vide steak in particular was amazing.
The decor is also great - back patio as others have mentioned is wonderful and interior is stylish. This place has great food & cocktails at reasonable prices. And the staff was wonderful. Highly recommended!

Used to go to this place back in the late 90s. Their italian sub was one of the best deli sandwiches I've tasted. No matter how crowded it got service was brisk which kept the line moving. Not a lot of other good options in the area besides the usual chains.

Snooze nails it on the head with its concept. It's a breakfast joint and focuses solely on that. So much so that it's only open for brunch (until 2:30 for you late risers).
While you're still getting caffeinated, their awesome staff is perky and friendly. If you haven't been yet, definitely check it out!

111 degrees. It's One Hundred and Eleven Effing Degrees, and you're in Scottsdale, Arizona, for a meeting.
It's 111 freaking degrees and you want a little heat in your food but also something refreshing and tasty and a little southwesty.
You are thinking to yourself, Arizona, your first time, they must have some good southwestern, Tex-Mexy type stuff, right? You've heard they have all sorts of chi-chi (but not Chi Chi's) little restaurants down here to feed and entertain the people who live here in the 111 degree heat with all that money to burn off before they die, right? Look at all the fancy landscaping and toney zoning controls that keep everything adobe and tasteful; the food MUST be good, right? They probably zone for that, too, right?
Well, this is basically Chevy's with money and a little attitude. It's a Chevy's that's moved to Scottsdale after winning the lottery. It's enchilada combinations with your beans, your rice, your enchiladas, and yes, all the ingredients are fresh, but it's still just a fancy Chevy's. It's not like there's a chef back there expressing himself. What's back there is a Corporation that borrowed the Chevy's concept, tarted it up, slapped it into a faux Mayan ruins via Spanish Colonial burbling fountain super duper atmosphere building, jacked some prices, and made sure there was plenty of tequila behind the bar.
Mind you, I didn't have a Margarita. It was before the meeting. If we had stopped after the meeting in the 111 degree heat, after I was all sweaty and relaxed having kicked meeting ass, and I'd ordered a really good Margarita, it's entirely possible I would be singing this place up and down the 202. It's the Margarita factory, after all. Which is weird--why would I want a factory-fresh Margarita? So maybe I wouldn't be singing it's praises.
But really, it's just a Chevy's with a private school diploma. You could do worse, but I also think maybe you could do better.

If you have out of town guests and need a special place for dinner, consider Il Terrazzo. It's "resort casual" dining, meaning the setting is elegant (even romantic) but you can get away with wearing jeans. The dinner menu is set up for a progressive dining experience. You can choose a starter, second course, main course and dessert, or you can mix and match for as large or small a meal as you want. They have a decent selection of wines by the glass - domestic and Italian - so that you could have different varietals with each course.
We started with the cheese plate - the choices were okay, not too special, but the accompanients were greats, especially the 25-year aged balsamic. For the second course, I had the agnolotti pasta stuffed with goat cheese and thyme. It's not served with any kind of sauce but eat them quickly or they'll get a little oily. My friend opted for the Lattuga del Burro - butter lettuce salad with buttermilk gorgonzola dressing, pancetta and baby tomatos. My main course was the Ossobuco with saffron rissotto - fall off the bone tender and fantastic flavor although a few bites of the rissotto were a little crunchy (undercooked). You can get any of the dishes on the pasta course as a main course size.
The ricotta cheese cake, hazelnut praline mousse and house-made ice creams are delectable, so save room for dessert.
They serve breakfast and lunch as well, which should be impressive based on what we saw at dinner.

Spanish fly opened where the old Drift was, and I gotta say that the minute you walk in you feel like you are on vacation. The palm trees, the colorful mosaic tiles, fruity cocktails and pool area complete with a water fall take you away from your day to day routine. There are a few tables set up, as well as ample seating in the bar areas, and lets not forget the cabanas!
My friends and I received great customer service from the bartenders, and when we moved over to check out the pool area the servers were just as attentive. The menu provided an array of cocktails that were both tempting and seemingly refreshing, as well as a variety of food items. Im sure this place will be busy for the summer pool party season.

I'm torn...torn I tell you. I wanted to love Bobby's...I really did. I wanted to give it at least one more star....but, alas, I can't. Let's start with the good. Shall we? I think we shall.
As I walked into Bobby's I was struck by how tastefully decorated it was. Very classy, very courteous hostesses who took care of us even on a Saturday night without a reservation. We sat outside with plenty of heaters available to keep even the cold-blooded members of our party very comfortable.
The food was really deserving of 4 stars. Excellent bread brought to the table, very good food. I had the paella. Some of the better paella I've had in awhile. One of my dinner companions said, "Not to the level of paella I had in Spain, but very good." Fresh quality ingredients, and about the perfect amount. Not a skimpy dish. I also tried the grilled sea-bass, and the swordfish. I would order either one of these also with no fear. Both excellent. My Grey Goose slightly dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives was also perfect! :)
Now for the not so good. Wait staff was very friendly but not particularly efficient. Even after noting that it was a Saturday evening, still a little slow. One of the dinners was burnt in the kitchen, so we were informed by the manager (very nice) that her sea bass would be delayed. Not a big deal, things happen. My biggest problem is the music. It says all over the place that they have live jazz. Since when do tired old Motown classics count as jazz? I didn't hear any jazz that night. Just some R&B covers sung marginally.
So....will I go there again? Yes. Will it be for the music? Not likely...I'll be going for the food! LOL

The best kept secret in the Scottsdale Airpark. It is a small deli in a strip of office buildings, but is it yummy. It is so close to my office I can easily walk there to grab lunch. I work in an office all day and need to get the blood pumpin every now and then.
The staff is super friendly and remembers me ever time I stop in, about once or twice a week or so. Their More Than A BLT is probably the best sammy on the menu. It's a regular BLT but they put their fabulous turkey on it and avocado I think. They have several other sammys to pick from, including hot ones. Or you can build your own. Their meats and cheeses are all fresh and sliced in house. They also have several salads and soups, and there is always a daily special that isn't on the main menu. I had a Grilled Reuben last week, yum!
They are open for breakfast as well. I get the breakfast burrito all the time; eggs, cheese, cream cheese, green chills and your choice of ham bacon or sausage.
They also deliver to most place in the airpark. We had a catered meeting at our office a few months ago and the delivery guy was great and fast. If you are in this area check them out.
PS: Going to get lunch from there now! Jealous? You should be!

Big City Bagels is somewhere between a bagel cafe and Einstein. They don't have all the trappings of a cafe (no egg salad, none of that) but they do have nice normal bagel flavors and the bagels were slightly better than Einstein.
They have a huge Snapple fridge which excited me, but alas, no regular Snapple. Why is everything diet here? I don't get it.

Great Chicago hotdog and very reasonable. Also had a good dinner salad with tasty grilled chicken on top. A little dirty on the inside. Reminded me of being in Chicago.

Not as good as PF Changs, but still a really quality restaurant. Pretty cheap prices as well. I love the atmosphere at this place, good for dates or for just going out with friends.

Even though I don't drink beer, I've been going to Rock Bottom since I lived in San Diego. And have always had a decent experience.
I stopped in for lunch. I got the Mac and cheese with NO chicken , it comes with a salad.
Huge portions, Cold plate and chilled fork for the salad was a nice touch. The Mac and cheese was piping hot and really good. (see pics)
Two people could have shared the mac and cheese, I couldn't finish it, even though I wanted to.
Friendly waitress, refilled my drink and brought my check in a timely manner.

One of the best restaurants in the valley. It's locale, in a strip mall, is not elegant, but the food and service more than make up for its location. It is not a cheap restaurant, but it is by far the best Italian food I've had in Phoenix. Rivals some of the better Italian restaurants back in NYC.

Best place to have your taxi cab driver or DD drive through to pick up monster tacos and an oreo shake that you will greatly enjoy while still inebriated, but completely regret the next morning! Yeah, buddy!

A great new Spanish restaurant in the brand new Intercontinental Hotel in Paradise Valley. Love the ambiance of this place, I feel like I am in some far removed castle somewhere outside Barcelona. The lighting and setting is beautiful.
And the food is as good as Spanish cuisine gets. The octopus salad that we ordered was very small portion wise, like the size of a crab cake. But it was a very tasty little bite. Full of the olive flavors that it was made with.
There were so many tantalizing items on the menu. It was a tough choice between all the paella's and stews. I ended up having the basque cod stew and was delighted with my choice. Usually when I see cod , I am reminded of fish sticks I ate when I was young. But this was not any fish stick cod! It was melty and buttery and went perfect with the veggies in the stew. I could eat this every night.
Not only will I be back to eat this wonderful basque cod stew again, I will be back just to chill in their bar and take in the beautiful atmosphere on a lovely AZ winter night.

It's weird this place is a pizza lounge, but it works! It's open 24\/7 and is across Myst so after the club it's the spot to be at. They serve New York style pizza along with other goodies. Another weird thing that works in this place is they serve wine. Something that doesn't work for this place is their lazy service. My party and I were sitting outside and the man working there goes outside to tell us the food is ready when he should have brought it outside to us. That is poor service! I'd understand if we were inside & we were able to see when our food was ready, but we were outside. So I'm being generous here in giving them four stars.

You guys are GR8 & u really try. (Luv the new decor & renovations, btw). I am sorry, I cannot recall everyone's name, but Scott in Wine & Liquors always so bery helpful.
Gary in Meat never misses an opportunity to shout to customers (from behind the meat counter) HOW ARE YOU! can I help with anything?! They guys in produce, the check-out, the baggers. (Did I mention other staff members find & seek you, ask if you need anything, and when you do will actually WALK you to what you are looking for? ie: marshmellows, they r hard to find!! so they don't just go, "o asile 15, or possibly 13... last i ch'd") I will have to make a mental note & recall specific names to re-write this review & give thanks to those specifiaclly deserving.
BTW, no one has dry ice - these guys do!! (very handy for fun, martinis, pool parties :-)

I've been eating here for over 20 years. The owners change. The staff changes. The menu remains pretty much the same.
What else does NOT change is the food -- consistently delicious! Served quickly. Friendly doesn't change either.

I have frequented this business for many years at the previous and new Scottsdale location. I have been there 2 times since the reopening at the new location, once for take-out the other was dine-in. I have and will always endorse the Orange Chicken here as well as the Crab Puffs. It seems that the new to-go containers are smaller than previously used so you do not get as much bang for the buck. Used to be a quart was plenty for 2, now, seems like less or they are not filling the newly shaped containers as much as they used to. I like the set up for to-go orders. Now for the eat-in food... We ordered the Jalapeno Puffs , they were a watered down verison of the popular Crab Puffs. They take the creamy part of the filling and lightly put in some jalapenos which are watery and makes something that is tasteless, watery and not satisfying at all - take it off the menu folks! Kung Pow Chicken has NO POW and no spice at all, won-tons are dry and tasetless, egg rolls are average\/good. Terriyaki chicken is gristley, not a lot of chicken, LOTS of rice - complete over kill with the rice. Iced tea, way too weak to even enjoy, just order water and save your money. The crowd - well - the new place is right next door to the Dirty Dogg Saloon so you get a lot of the same crowd here folks - even at lunch time! If you are not familiar, Google the place and take a look at the pics that come up. These are the people you will be dining with at ChopNWok. We sat and were facing a grown man seated at the bar with his slouch jeans on and his green underwear hanging out with his pants coming down with every sip of beer he took. Not exactly what you want to have to look at when eating and definitly not something a family wants to expose their kids to. The bar was surrounded with people that looked like a bunch of adult high school dropouts, sorry but true! Definitely not a normal, go out and eat type crowd. They should have just knocked the wall down between their place and the Dirty Dogg Saloon and let the crowd mix in because that is exactly what you see. I won't be coming back to eat-in again, will just enjoy my orange chicken as take-out when I have the craving. I was hoping the place would class-up a bit but I am convinced the "crowd" will keep many patrons and families away from eating in, truly a disappointment! The biz will succeed but will lose business due to the poor choice of location. No one wants to feel like they are in a biker bar when they are trying to enjoy a meal.

I'm not crazy about Zipp's. Admittedly, their happy hour is good but it's almost like a couple hours of fair prices to make up for the other 18 hours a day of unfair prices. Not unfair in the outrageous sense, just slightly inflated when you're dealing with food that average at best.
It's a fun place to go in a huge group and pass around pitchers but not necessarily the best around. I would be more inclined to patronize Dos Gringos or a true dive to delve into those sorts of hijinks.
Zipp's not-so-comfortably straddles the line between pure sports bar and Scottsdale scene, since so many pre-partiers stop by in their clubbin threads on the way to Axis or Pussycat Lounge or wherever.
I have a theory that in the right group, any place can be a five star find, and I still believe it. Keep that in mind when you head towards Zipp's.

First of all, if you like classic French food, this place is for you. Prices are very reasonable and dishes are well-executed. If you're in your 20s-30s, it's not a place to impress your date or friends - it's not trendy or slick. Actually, to be honest, I don't really like this typical for many authentic French restaurants home style decor - it's too old fashioned for me and depressing...
It was a Thanksgiving evening and besides being Europeans (= New year is a bigger holiday for us than Christmas), we don't have any relatives in this area to celebrate this holiday with, so we called all restaurants which were opened on Thanksgiving and Voltaire was one of them. Party of 3 - last minute reservation - no problem.
We liked food a lot and if we were in our late 50s-60s-70s, we would go to this restaurant on a regular basis, but we're still too young to enjoy being there - the atmosphere in this restaurant kills my spirit and mood.
I was surprised to see a female waitress as French restaurants are known for hiring only male waiters, but we were there on a big holiday, so it wasn't a typical day and possibly their regular personnel didn't want to work.
Would I go back? Probably, but not in the nearest future. Would I recommend this place? Yes, you have to experience it yourself if you like authentic French cuisine .

I am so glad this restaurant reopened. This version is even better if you can believe it. Looks very modern sleek\/sexy. Open air bar is amazing.
Food is as amazing as ever.....so consistent...... Look forward to trying some of the new menu items although on my first visit went back to my old faithful..... Diavola!!!!!! (Spicy Pepperoni) for the novice.....
Although the market was not yet open, it too looks very inviting. Can't wait to try it. POMO ..... Welcome Back.

This place was formerly known as Garduno's - other than the name nothing seems to have changed.
The ambience is striking and very nice. The food is very basic and not that good. The only thing which stands out are the free sopapillas with honey which they serve at the end of the meal.
The margaritas were not good, very watered down and barely a dash of salt on the glass even when requested. Their top shelf rita tasted ok and the grand sized rita was like lemonade in a jug.
I'm sure there are better places to have mexican food in the area...

En Fuego, located inside the Doubletree Resort, is best known for its great buffet breakfasts (06:30-10:00), but we just tried it out for dinner and were not disappointed. The decor is up-scale, and since there were only four other customers on a Sunday night, the service was great. The wine list is a bit pricey but agreeable.
Don't expect exotic new cuisine, but the staples were all right on target. There's a variety of tapas such as jalapeno-bacon-wrapped shrimp as appetizers, and the entrees are classics such as Delmonico steak, chicken breast, char, and a seafood medley. We had the lamb chops and the pasta with spinach and mushrooms and both equaled anything we've eaten in the valley. The former came with broccoli sauteed to perfection and an excellent butternut squash risotto. We also enjoyed the chocolate romance for dessert.

Super friendly new place that just opened near Harkins on Shea on Scottsdale. Ava walked out and greeted us. Alley was welcomed inside and we were given a menu. Everyone was super friendly and kind to Alley. Alley asked and was told the patio was dog friendly to all her non-service dog pals so bring everyone over and try out this new spot. They even have vegetarian selections!!!

We live in North Scottsdale and were always a big fan of Soul Café. It was great to see Chef Sheila open a new restaurant closer to work. The restaurant is open and airy - but still has a sense of warmth. There was quite a large lunch crowd, but the service was good - unusual for a new opening. Had the Skinny Mexican Salad which was wonderful. The table also had the Green Pork Chile and the Salmon sandwich. Everyone said the food was great and we would definitely be back.

It's Subway.. not much else I can say except that this one has a real asshole working the cash register.. the guy who made my sub was nice enough but stark contrast to the cashier jerk off. When I was 18 years old I loved working, seems like this kid not only hated his job but didn't care for any of its customers either.
The stars are for the sandwich, spinach and the guy who made mine. Otherwise Ill probably only go to the one next to work, if I have to.

Tandoori Times is one of the newer Indian restaurants to sprout up in the Valley, and they've decided to be a bit different. Nestled within Old Town Scottsdale, the friendly, affable owner knows that in order to succeed, his restaurant has to be both A) good and B) entertaining.
The ambiance of the place is definitely a step up from most Indian joints. He has several booths semi-enclosed by see-through fabric and a full stocked bar. The food is pretty good - the naan is so far the best by miles I've had in the Phoenix metro. However, I noticed that they skimp on the meat & chicken dishes. Not wise, my friend, for your brown patrons DO notice that amidst all the tasty gravy there's like two meat nuggets and not much else. Given that the dishes here are at least a couple more dollars expensive than elsewhere, the skimping is kind of inexcusable.
But hey! If you're there on Friday or Saturday nights, there's a belly dancer! Because that's the first thing we all think of when we go eat Indian food: a girl belly dancing to Bollywood soundtracks! Kickass.
In all seriousness, Tandoori Times is a good, clean place and a step up from most other Indian restaurants in the Valley. But prepare to shell out more duckets, even though your carnivorous cravings may be lost while swimming through all that gravy.

Yes, Marjele's has made it to Old Town. Yes, this is the same Marjele's that you have probably been to before a sporting event in Downtown Phoenix, but this is Marjele's with the Old Town twist. That means, this is Marjele's; Scottsdale edition. However, so far it's doing pretty good in my book!
Old Town lacks good sports bars and the ones they have fill up within 20 minutes on the day or night of a big game. So with that, I was pleased to hear that Marjele's gave us another sports bar option. I visited for the first time several weeks ago. Marjele's might have been open all of three days so we decided to check it out. Prior to going, we called to see if there was a chance they accepted reservations. And guess what? They did! Now, I don't know if this will last forever, but at the time, they took a reservation (I hope it stays like that!) The staffer on the phone was extremely polite and friendly when I talked to them. We arrived as one of the games was ending and before the next one started. The sports bar was jam packed so they didn't have our table yet, but they were extremely apologetic and got us one as soon as the first one opened up. So for that, they get a point for customer service.
The scene: Considering this is a sports bar, I'm not shocked to say that this place was packed with men. All men. There might have been all of 15 girls in the bar when we were there. I assume this will change over time as girls realize that the ratio is in their favor. There is a nice long patio and then room inside with several tables and high tops, two bars and a standing area. TVs surround the entire bar, just like in the Downtown location. I think this Marjele's is bigger than the Downtown location, but it's a toss up. Now, like I said above, this one is definitely Scottsdaled up. At night, it's dark and "sceney" but it's still not bad yet. We'll see how long they keep it as a chill sports bar, especially since it's by PCL and now next door to the new El Hefe. I think this is a good option to watch a game or to visit on a night you want to go out in Old Town.
The food: thumbs up in my book! This is generic bar food but decent bar food. The wings have a spicy kick to them. For my meal, I got the buffalo chicken wrap. It was tasty and tangy with a twist. The sandwich filled me up and unlike some other sports bars around town, I would be ok with eating here again. But again, remember...this is just sports bar food so don't walk into Marjel's expecting fine dining. Expect beers and fried food and you'll be set.
So in conclusion, check out Marjele's if you're up for being out in Old Town, you're ok with running into the Old Town crowd, you want to watch a game at a place that will be crowded and social and you want to enjoy some food and drinks along the way...served by friendly staff of course!

I've been in Arizona almost five years already and until just last month, I never stepped foot into the Galleria Corporate Centre. But now that I have, I am pretty sure that coming into the office here will become a regular part of my schedule... and all of this because Cafe Conmigo is located in the atrium of the Galleria building.
This morning I stopped to grab a cup of coffee from Cafe Conmigo and I met the owner of this little cafe, Nancy. Just from my quick conversation with Nancy, I could tell that this place has a lot of character and that Nancy puts her heart and soul into this business... in addition to gourmet coffee drinks, Cafe Conmigo serves up all kinds of breakfast food, snacks, sandwiches, soups, etc... I checked out their website and saw that they update it weekly to post their daily specials too.
I'm finishing up my coffee and feeling a nice caffeine buzz as I type this review. If you're in the area of the Galleria building in Old Town, go check out Cafe Conmigo and say hello to Nancy. They are open Monday - Friday from 7:30am until 3:00pm.
***Oh, and the best part of all? My coffee with steamed soy milk was cheaper than at Starbucks!

This new Sam Fox restaurant opens on November 24 (OK, so they DO have one in Tucson, but it's new to us). We had the privilege of going to a Pre-Opening dinner to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Essentially, all of the money we paid to attend went to CFF and Blanco essentially gave us an open tab at their restaurant. It was a complete dry run, so the entire menu was in play!
First off, very friendly staff. We had to wait about 20 minutes for our table, but the bar was lively and, while crowded, it was still easy to stand around and enjoy your drink, with the house DJ also keeping the mood buzzing. If we had wanted to "hover" for a couch, their patio is filled with big blue couches and fire-pits, facing Scottsdale road. Their full menu is served on the patio (as well as the bar), but we decided that we'd wait for a booth inside.
Once seated, or server made sure we were all set on drinks and walked us through the menu. We started by sharing a Roasted Chicken and Poblano Chile Crisp, which is essentially a little Mexican pizza. For a main course, I enjoyed the Fish Tacos, while the Seared Ahi Tacos and the Beef Enchiladas also graced our table. Not exactly earth shattering dining concepts, but there wasn't a bite of food left when it was all over.
For desert, our server recommended that we try THREE different desserts, so we went with the Tres Leche (kind of an oat-ish interpretation, but good!), the Caramel Flan (excellent! and probably the largest hunk of flan I'd ever seen!) and finally, the Rich Chocolate Cake (very dense and a bit too chocolaty, even for me).
All in all, a good meal, but what rockets this rating to 4-stars instead of a possible 3 were the margaritas. All the juices are fresh and they aren't too tart OR too sweet. And, while you didn't necessarily realize it by taste, there was enough tequila in them to put down a small horse. By my second margarita, there was no way I was driving home. We'll be back to Blanco soon, but next time we're hiring a driver!

It's hard to give a fast food place more than Three Stars, or A-Ok in Yelp-ese.
But if I could, this Taco Bell would be Three a half Stars!
The staff is very friendly and accessible, as is the franchisee who seems to be everywhere overseeing his business. Nice! When was the last time you were met and greeted by the restaurant owner?
It's been nearly thirty years since I had my first taco, and like Glenn Bell I fell in love with this quasi Mexican food item. His invention of the hard shell taco was a game changer. The new healthier menu is major a improvement. The salads are much better
This restaurant is brand new. Some seats even have cushions. WOW! They have some minor kinks to workout, such as the Pepsi all in one soda dispenser. Like the Coke version, it makes everything taste like Dr Pepper. So, if you are on the run for a quick taco or burrito, Taco Bell is still the place
Enjoy!

Loved it. I believe today was the first day he opened and I can already tell from my first meal with them that this place will be a hit.
I had the classic Hummus, Falafel, and Pita combo and it was perfect. The pita was awesome and fresh. They added Israeli salad and Israeli pickles to the plate and it made the appetizer feel like a full meal.
Go and try this plate out! You're going to be happy you did.

Excellent Food! Healthy & Fresh! I hope when they get a little busier they will have servers and a specified cashier. I have a thing about the person handling cash then turning and preparing food.
The owner, I assume, was such a nice guy,
Very pleasant and helpful with our ordering.
Again, the food was fantastic!! Great choices for kids, with ice cream to boot!
Great choice when your visiting the Aquarium....Or if you just want some yummy Greek food!!
Prices $$, very reasonable for the giant amount of food you are served!

I love Italian food. And Italian men. Ahhh- my weaknesses.
The food at Arrivederci is fab. Especially the homemade gnocchi. You can't get much better than that. The eggplant parmigiana is fantastic too and even the plain old raviolis are delicious.
The portions are big, and it's always fun to order different dishes and have everyone share so you can get a little taste of everything.
The desserts are great too- check it out!

Love love D'Lite. Much closer for us than other locations and happily, the food is exactly the same. "Must-trys" include Cali Club, AZ Burro, and the breakfast Buzz icy drink.

Fresh ingredients, unique flavors reminiscent of Mexico City cuisine in a well done space that feels like a restaurant right out of Polanco. Definitely try their roasted corn and one of their signature cocktails!

I know. It's just Domino's. But something is different. This is not the Domino's that delivered to my freshman dorms. The thin crust veggie is addictive!

Tandoori Times is one of the newer Indian restaurants to sprout up in the Valley, and they've decided to be a bit different. Nestled within Old Town Scottsdale, the friendly, affable owner knows that in order to succeed, his restaurant has to be both A) good and B) entertaining.
The ambiance of the place is definitely a step up from most Indian joints. He has several booths semi-enclosed by see-through fabric and a full stocked bar. The food is pretty good - the naan is so far the best by miles I've had in the Phoenix metro. However, I noticed that they skimp on the meat & chicken dishes. Not wise, my friend, for your brown patrons DO notice that amidst all the tasty gravy there's like two meat nuggets and not much else. Given that the dishes here are at least a couple more dollars expensive than elsewhere, the skimping is kind of inexcusable.
But hey! If you're there on Friday or Saturday nights, there's a belly dancer! Because that's the first thing we all think of when we go eat Indian food: a girl belly dancing to Bollywood soundtracks! Kickass.
In all seriousness, Tandoori Times is a good, clean place and a step up from most other Indian restaurants in the Valley. But prepare to shell out more duckets, even though your carnivorous cravings may be lost while swimming through all that gravy.

I am conflicted about writing a review on a well-known chain but I was really impressed by their online ordering service. I needed to order pizza for my team at work and was able to submit my order online a day in advance. You can select the date and time you need the pizza by. This location opens at 11am on Fridays and need at least 30 minutes to complete the order. As a result, I specified 11:30am and I got a phone call at 11:25am, Friday, letting me know they were at my company's security gate. I was very happy that they were early. I don't know that I have EVER gotten pizza delivery early. The website is designed very well to allow you to customize your pizzas for half\/half toppings, crust cooked a certain way, and lists all of the specials they have. And they had alot of specials! I loved that I could order however much of their garlic sauce that I wanted. Papa John's isn't the best pizza I have ever had but it was pretty good, priced reasonably and the order process\/customer service was excellent. This location had it down pat. I highly recommend it.

A quaint, no frills Greek dive with good food. Tucked away in a nondescript strip mall, I would never have found this place on my own if a friend of mine hadn't taken me one day. The lunch menu is diverse with plenty of choices, ranging from veggie to chicken to beef dishes. I've tried many of them and always felt satisfied. The hummus is tasty.
Also, this isn't a fast food joint. It's a casual and friendly sit-down restaurant with waiter service.

I am disappointed Barros does not have a direct contact link on their website. Last night I ordered pizza for takeout from this new location. Unfortunately, I ordered a well-done pie, and the crust was soft and limp. This new staff needs to learn how to do it right, because everything else was good.

So me and the Mr are knee deep in guest room remodeling. So tonight we were going to have Bo Kho (Beef Stew, Vietnamese Style) but I fell asleep and didn't get it started in time to eat at a decent hour.
So on our way back from (another) trip to Home Depot we decided just to grab a burger. Now mind you I haven't eaten fast food for years.. I remember Wendy's having a delicious juicy burger, piping hot and yummy! Well to my surprise when I found that they didn't have my 1\/4 double stack any longer but some little piece of shit called a Burger Buster, or something.. Well it sure the hell was, they busted the burger right out of that shit.. it wasn't burger but perhaps some dirt and belly button lint held together with some sort of emulsifier. This thing wasn't juicy nor tasty.. just cheap and nasty!
You know what? Someone should punch that little red head bitch in the face!

Potbelly's makes a tasty little sandwich for $4.80, and an even better one for $5.00.
I was here today with some friends for their Pre- Grand Opening slated for tomorrow. A suggested donation of $5.00 went to Scottsdale Christian Academy Baseball Team (see photo). After giving my donation, I won a free shake on their spinning wheel. All the places were food items.
Potbelly is a yummy Midwest sandwich place that has live music in all of their shops. The older locations have tall ceiling where a banjo, or guitar player sits on the top of the booth area while playing away. This location has a guitar playing in the corner on the right as you come in. Very cool.
As for the food, Potbelly is known primarily for their their Wreck sub which is $5.00. It's made with salami, roast beef, turkey and ham along with swiss cheese. They also have two similar subs called: "Italian" with capicola, mortadella, pepperoni, salami with provolone cheese, also $5.00; and a "Pizza Sandwich" which has many of the above cold cuts but with marinara sauce. I've had both before and they are good too.
Those are their three upscale sandwiches for $5.00, but their regular ones for $4.80 are equally good. I particularly like the Roast Beef (which I had today, see photo), but the Turkey Breast, Smoked Ham, Meatball are all delicious.
I've been told by Jim their JV Manager, that their 30% larger sandwiches, called "Bigs", will be rolled out later in the year. Nice. You also need to try their hand-dipped shakes and smoothies. Delicious!
Enjoy!
