        "delicious and much healthier than most \" bar food \". lamb vindaloo was really excellent, tender and actually spicy and authentically curry. i liked that the crust wasn't super heavy, but a thin shell. the yogurt dip was good, too. my husband said his potato soup was also quite delicious. we both enjoyed the banoffee pie, although the crust was overbaked and too hard, but i just scooped up everything else and left the crust alone. hibiscus tea was good and refreshing. customer service was friendly but spotty. my waitress was okay, but some of the others were mostly talking to people and not working, leaving the others to pick up the slack.",

( must order at least a bagel ) prices are reasonable and they do have a punch card for dozens",

        "a must try and then repeat. i can't say enough about this local bistro. the dinner menu is fantastic and the weekend specials are superb. the ribeye steak special is probably my favorite option but the seafood is also cooked to perfection ; you can't go wrong regardless of choice. even their most simple recipes are executed in a way that satisfy the most demanding palates. the beer and wine selection is also good, you'll find something you like for sure. the meals are cooked to order so allow yourself enough time. the service is very friendly and the atmosphere is great. as for the lunch menu, treat yourself to one of the panini sandwiches next time you're thinking of hitting a chain restaurant, instead.",

        "went tonight ( saturday ) and it was great. made a reservation about 2 hrs before going and was seated right when we walked in. i of course read all of the bad reviews first. i didn't notice a hint of any of those problems. server gives some background on the chef if you are a first timer. not cheap... but you get what you pay for. burger = outstanding and onion soup is just as good as they say. i plan to go back to try lunch soon. we left the kids home but they did have mac and cheese for $ 5 if you bring them with. 2 burgers, sweet fries, onion soup, one drink each, plus tip is about $ 60. worth every penny",

        "the food, drinks and restaurant are great. i've been going there for the last 9 - 10 years during spring training and i wouldn't go anywhere else. the appetizers, dinners and the great desserts are top notch. the bartender heather is the best bartender. her drinks are delicious and she is very personable and makes you feel very welcome. hope their paying her top dollar because it's why i go there. make a reservation, i promise you won't be sorry!!!",

        "this little french restaurant is so good! took family here on christmas eve and the service and food were superior. we were there for lunch and i had the vegetarian sandwich... for a sandwich, it was amazing! they use a delicious aioli sauce on it, and the bread was great too. ordered a side of the sweet potato fries which came with an amazing array of dipping sauces... i can't wait to bring more people back here and to also try the breakfast and dinner offerings. also enjoyed the ambiance. really nice and refreshing to see something unique and upscale in the west valley. well done, vogue bistro!",
