"pretty good little place. standard price for the size of your choice ( 7 \" or 11 \" ) and all the toppings you want at no additional charge. the pizza was good. nothing spectacular but also nothing to complain about. all pizzas are thin crust. i got the italian wedding and my spouse got the meaty italiano. i will be returning.",
"i did like it, but it's now closed. there are other locations that you can go to though. you pick the pie, the sauces, the ingredients - everything is individual and included in the price. it's quick, and i usually come away with a bit left over.",
"very good pizza. looking forward to ordering from here again and trying some different pies. great prices too.",
"love love love love love. i appreciate that there's competition in the diy pie arena. the prefab flavor combinations and idea boards really elevate your pie to the next level. taste is on point along with quality, i enjoyed everything this eclectic pie had to offer.",
"this pizza is so bomb, i love the thin crust and there sauce.. the italian and the cowboy bqq are really good.. i go crispy 1 & 1 / 2 times thru oven for that bomb crisp. all the pizza flavored are good and you can customize it the way you want. the 7 inch is perfect for on person...",
"eklectic pie the staff are friendly, the atmosphere is fun and the food is good. we came in before they officially opened and enjoyed two free pies. you get to choose your own size, 7 \" or 11 \" and then choose your own toppings. you can add as many toppings as you want, in any combination to make your pie. the toppings are fresh, varied and delicious! since i got exactly what i wanted, i really enjoyed my pie. the food came out fast and the staff were attentive. since this is close y my house, and a local movie theater, i will be back ; and bring friends!",
"enjoy their custom pizzas. very good basil pesto pizza. i added jalapenos and it was perf. marguerita pizza was a little soggy, too much marinara. i like that they serve wine and craft beers. the inside is cool, lots of interesting places to sit.",
"i was impressed. i usually only go to fired pie of mod pizza, but this place is just as, if not better than those places. if your a soda drinker they use all natural sugar rather than the high fructose corn srp which taste better than regular soda"
] |
the atmosphere and drink selection is the real winner here. the endless toppings are also a cool way to personalize your pizza pie. the pizza is ok, but depending on your taste, there are better pizzas out there. the staff was friendly and over the top excited to help out. overall i would recommend checking this place out.

"excellent pizza. i love that they don't charge for each topping, it's all one price. that's such a great policy. the guys making the pizzas were obviously loving their jobs, so i'm guessing they treat their people well. taste was great, nice thin crust, everything tested fresh. highly recommend trying it. i wish they had one in east mesa.",
"first let me say i do love all the build your own pizza places - it's a trend but as someone with food allergies, it makes ordering easy. i don't have to say i'll have that but without this and that... i can just ask for what i want. so i've been to a lot around the valley and eklectic pie is my favorite - the best choice of topping anywhere. love the bacon, pulled pork and roasted potatoes. also great crust. and adult beverages too. the decor is also fun.",
"love love love love love. i appreciate that there's competition in the diy pie arena. the prefab flavor combinations and idea boards really elevate your pie to the next level. taste is on point along with quality, i enjoyed everything this eclectic pie had to offer.",
"i went to grab a bite to eat with low expectations since i haven't had the best luck with this style restaurant, but i was surprised by the taste and variety of options! i was guided by tyler who helped me make a wonderful pizza. johnathan and leesha helped answer questions and the entire staff seemed knowledgeable and friendly. it's a really cool spot and i'll definitely be back. the craft soda and fresh teas were a huge surprise too!",
"love this place! it's like the subway of pizzas as you pay one price and can heap toppings to your hearts delight and all for only nine bucks! i'm not sure how these guys stay in business so just out of guilt i always end up buying drinks or a side ( the wings and skins are fantastic! ). they offer craft sodas and an eclectic beer menu that changes from week to week. tip : get on their mailing list and use their rewards program and you will get all kinds of deals sent your way. bon appetit!",
"what an amazing place. the employees are fun to talk to. they make great, insightful recommendations. i ordered the pizza and was amazed by the flavor. great crust, which in my mind makes or breaks a pizza, great flavor. i can't wait to come back to try another.",
"my family and i have absolutely loved this place since it opened a few months ago. their staff is always unbelievably friendly, the ingredients are fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere is really nice. we've tried a handful of \" build your own \" pizza places and this one by far surpasses its competition. their local cane sugar sodas are also a really nice surprise. we also appreciate the occasional coupons in the mail, and at least once a month they have a great value special. we will be returning and recommending often.",
"amazing pizza, great fresh ingredients. no heat lamps or microwaves! cane sodas and top notch customer service. we will be back."

this place is great! the pizzas are always made fresh! fresh ingredients and great service! and it's always clean! that's a plus plus, cheap and affordable, made fresh every time. the staff is also very informative on what certain ingredients are and how they taste, and they have local brewery beers on hand that are affordable as well. i try to eat here as much as possible! it's a five star in my book!

"worst airline experience ever. although i called to reschedule my flight, but demurred on accepting their outrageous rebooking fees, they canceled the return trip anyway. i found that out after i got to the airport. their staff are basically parrots who squawk about their policy, but have no concept of customer satisfaction our, god forbid, basic fairness. after two hours of speaking to the parrots, i gave up and went to another airline. $ 500 for no service, but they pulled a tidy profit by overcharging a desperate passenger who took my seat, i'm sure. i hate them and will avoid united at all costs. i hope they fail soon as a company : they deserve to.",
"i would give this airlines zero stars if i could. to sum up my experience with them... just think of everything that could go wrong with an airline. missing bags, missed connecting flights due to united stupidity, rude workers, damaged bags beyond repair, & awful customer service. i am beyond shocked. i will never fly this airlines again. southwest is far better than this pile of garbage.",
"what a crap airline! if i could give them zero stars i would. i flew from phoenix to denver to new orleans. the check - in people, gate staff and flight attendants were rude and abrupt, the flights all left at least 45 minutes late, it was the worst flying experience i've had. i was fortunate thta my denver back to phoenix leg was us airways... never thought i'd say \" thank you us airwarys \" for at least that part of the flight not being a nightmare! i will never fly united again!",
"worst airline i've ever dealt with! 1 ) booking a flight 6 weeks in advance & you get seated nowhere close to each other. 2 ) 5 and a half hour flight & you get a drink but have to buy your own snacks? 3 ) printing out a boarding pass at the airport. computer goes down & getting an employee to help you out is impossible. waited in line for 30 minutes then told to find another computer. honestly, i could go on forever about the problems encountered. i will never use united airlines again!!",
"worst customer service. fight was cancelled, but no intimation on phone on email. at the airport, the rep behaved as if it was our mistake that we booked with united. no information provided on refunds or alternate flight and hotel arrangements. stay away from them!",
"this company is the worst! i booked a flight using points back in september. i received a confirmation number and went on my way. today, i went to check my flight and to my surprise, the booking was cancelled. when i calked, they said that sometimes, bookings don't go through and you need to call to confirm. thus us the most ridiculous things i have ever heard. i asked them to reinstate my reservation and they refused, i asked for my point back and, they refused. do yourself a favor and stay away from this crap company. chesney",
"i flew this terrible airline. it was on time which was a rarity however the flight attendants are the worst. terrible attitudes. they make you feel like you are walking in egg shells. i try to avoid this airline and every time i am stuck on them it reminds me how much better southwest is than this passenger belittling airline. oh well, belittling is better than being beat up.",
"this has got to be the worst customer experience of my life. i now call them \" divided airlines \". just make a call and you will get a different answer everytime. currently i am on my 8th call and maybe now we are headed for a solution. i am not going to expand anymore about the complete unprofessional response and solutions. companies have chosen to monopolize and outsource overseas and we the consumer lose. one final note.. they have bar none the worst coffee ever!!"
] |
awful once again. 650 bucks for a flight and i paid extra for a window and they sold it and tried to upsell me again to get it back. then tried to get me to check my bag when there was plenty of room on the flight. i am tired of being treated like shit by this awful airline and their shitty employees. please go out of business because you are everything that is wrong with the service industry. yes you are in the service industry which you clearly forgot!

"we ate here tonight after looking at the reviews. we didn't know what we were really getting into. wow! the service from everyone here was great. every employee was helpful and just good people. the product was amazing, we had three pies. 4 beers and a coke for $ 34. that is amazing! you have to come here. monday pizza nights are now scheduled at eclectic!",
"love ep! everything is fresh and made to order. besto pesto is my favorite! servers are friendly and location is clean. the decor is eclectic and comfy seating. highly recommend.",
"this place is so yummy! the flame thrower is my favorite. such good flavor. everyone who works here is amazing too. can't wait until the new store in gilbert is open. thanks for such a fun experience spinning the wheel too."

"i don't give five stars often. i ordered the waygu ribeye rare that came out cold and over done. i sent it back and they re heated there save piece of meat making it even more done. obviously, i sent that back. i'm the end, they comped all of our food. amazing that they did that. thank you!!",
"michael mina's is officially my favorite restaurant. i have a penchant for good food gras, and the always have something amazing on the menu. i also love the lobster pot pie! the bar tender was so cool... she let me try three different wines because i'm unfamiliar with the french ones which they had a lot of. so i must say the service was really special, because the wine expert came of to talk to me. guess what? he was from seattle : - )",
"i've had one customer dinner per year at this restaurant for the past 5 years and have always been pleased. this year was the best. many of us chose a 6 - course tasting menu featuring many of the items on the a la carte menu. each course was memorable. there were combinations of items and seasonings that created wonderful tastes i've never experienced before! the lower mark for service is directed at the kitchen, which left a 30 minute gap between course 3 and 4. it affected the mood of the table and took us out of our conversation. otherwise the waitstaff was very attentive and helpful. this is the most expensive restaurant i go to in vegas, but it is also the best!",
"an exquisite dinning experience. the tasting menu along with the wine pairing was perfection. the waiter from sao paulo was very knowledgeable and attentive. they performed a beautiful dance of service at our table. the chef presented the wagu beef. this was a 5 star experience.",
"when in vegas, we always have to do fine dining at least once. we stayed at the bellagio and decided with michael mina. boy was that a good choice. we did the tasting menu and every bite was worth it. my favorite from the tasting menu was the lobster pot pie. it is to die for!!!! thinking of the lobster pot pie made me drool. i highly recommend doing the tasting menu here!",
"went for dinner last night. had the tasting menu with the premium pairings. the food was orgasmic, and the wines were paired perfectly. atmosphere was surprisingly quiet for a sunday night in vegas. the wait staff was attentive and the sommelier was superb!! definitely one of our favorite vegas dinners as we come here often for business. highly recommended!",
"i thought the 5 - course cooking book menu was extremely tasty - service was also immaculate. after coming from the 16 - course at robuchon, this certainly pales in comparison. but it is in a different class, they are after all 2 stars apart. i didn't have to make any reservations on a weekend dinner so that was good. all the seafood was extremely fresh and cooked to perfection. they weren't super accommodating when i wanted the tasting menu and my mum wanted just an en tree. the server said he had to ask the chef if he could do that which kinda turned me off. so we ended up both getting the tasting menu.",
"we did tasting menu with the wine pairings. best choice! ( but defiantly not cheap ) walking through the christmas themed bellagio was amazing to start. we were seated in the back of the restaurant which was kinda nice. the food was amazing, all of it. presentation was beautiful! lobster pot pie. really talked up. i expected more. kobe beef = love it german chocolate cake three ways. yum in general it was nice. would i go back? probably not. vegas has too many other amazing places to try!"

we had the signature tasting menu. one of the best meals i have ever had in my life! the service was perfection. the wine pairing was perfection. the atmosphere was perfection. there are already a million pics on here so i didn't bother to take any. we are without a doubt, michael mina fans. i can wait to go back and try the seasonal menu.

"best pizza in town. build your own and don't brake the bank. to top it all off they have dark beer. heaven!!",
"dare i say, the best pizza place i have ever been to? the best atmosphere! everyone is so friendly and happy to make suggestions. fast service. delicious food. its like a chipolte, but for pizza, and without all the salminola or whatever. its just good!",

"usually come here for a casual quick dinner / late lunch. comfortable seating and decor. pretty clean restaurant, located in the plaza all the way at the back. recommendations / usual orders : tasty broth for the house special pho banh cuon bun cha vermicelli ( w / chicken ) would not recommend the bun rieu if you're hungry, takes 10 mins or more to make as indicated on the menu.",
"this place has become one of my favourite pho places north of toronto. the soup broth is delicious and does not taste like msg when compared to train or pho 88. they have fresh noodle and dry noodle ; although the fresh noodle is really good, i prefer the dry as it is thinner. they also have a vegetarian menu which is great for me. i used to eat plain pho and couldn't eat the fried spring rolls but now i can with their menu!",
"had the standard pho, was pretty good. not much else you can do to explain pho, that hasn't been said, just noodles and meat. meat quality was good. also tried the shrimp rolls, which had a delicious piece of meat hidden under it as well. what i liked most about this place was the interior, was spacious, much cleaner and not as crowded as other pho spots in the area.",
"this is a pretty nice pho place. it's where my friends and i currently go when we are in scarborough. the pho is pretty good. the restaurants decor is pretty snazzy for a pho place.",
"definitely a go - to pho place. most pho places serve the dry noodles ( thin ), but what i love about this place is their fresh noodles which is alot softer. their portions are decent sized and have a good amount of meat. their broth is good and does not leave you with that msg after taste. definitely recommend : )",
"one of my favourite places for pho and pad thai. their dishes are very affordable and delicious, with good soup base for pho and ingredients are fairly fresh. they have a pretty good menu and the pho noodles are very soft and delicious. the pad thai is also very soft and tasty ; not entirely a ketchup based dish and the meat complements the noodles well. i would say it is one of the better pad thai's i've ever tried. it does get busy on weekends but the service is quick.",
"the prices are good, the portions are decent & the food is either good or bland. the atmosphere is really nice though. i normally get vermicelli at a pho restaurant & honestly it's nothing special. the pho is good though, not too salty or heavy. today i tried the avocado shake & it was probably one of the worst i've had. the avocado flavour was faint & tasted like eating ice. it was only $ 4. 50 though & cup was huge in comparison to a small bubble tea that would be the same price or more. i genuinely didn't enjoy it. i wouldn't try the other shakes, that's for sure.",
"rating = 2. 5 stars bun bo hu rice noodle is not even mildly spicy. it is big portion, though."
] |
waitress does not seem. to be too friendly but the location and environment is relaxing and decently clean compared to many pho restaurants nearby. they have interesting decorations and the music is not blasting. the broth is flavourful and the price is average for a pho place. i normally order a house special and never had any problems with it. the spring rolls are also great.

"above average for vietnamese good. meat was not dry & veggies were fresh. the soup base for noodles was flavourful but not salty. avocado shake was rich & creamy & not too sweet.",
"usually come here for a casual quick dinner / late lunch. comfortable seating and decor. pretty clean restaurant, located in the plaza all the way at the back. recommendations / usual orders : tasty broth for the house special pho banh cuon bun cha vermicelli ( w / chicken ) would not recommend the bun rieu if you're hungry, takes 10 mins or more to make as indicated on the menu.",
"i come here pretty often with my friends and family, we've never had a problem with their classic menu items like the pho or the'bun \". they've got a fairly large space, air conditioning's good, and their drinks are okay ( i like the coconut milkshake, avocado milkshake, and their vietnamese coffee ). their take on pad thai is okay, and their fried chicken is pretty good and fairly cheap for 6 pc ( $ 10. 99 ). order the fried chicken first if you want it as it takes a while to make.",
"apparently, the pho is supposed to have an'authentic taste'if we had it with dried noodles. tried it with dried noodles this time and found the soup too bland to us. the pork chop rice was really really good though, as well as the curry & spring rolls. i would definitely come back for the other food, but probably not for the pho. overall good food, but super busy on weekend nights. we were lucky to get a big table before others came",
"pho taste ok, which is same with most of pho restaurant. and we order a spring row. it taste good. this restaurant looks clean and the environment looks good too.",
"the pho was good! the interior is very modern like. service was very good, waiter was attentive and always topped up our cold teas. the prices are a little higher than usual, but the food made up for it. i tend to go to this location + the kennedy one as well. pretty consistent.",
"my go to pho place in scarborough. i usually get the small p1 with fresh noodles - it's under $ 10, comes with a great assortment of meat, and is always tasty. the only issue is that under $ 10 needs to be paid by cash which can be annoying. the appetizers are relatively costly compared to how much the main dishes are.",
"my personal taste in pho dictates pho vietnam as the best pho place in the scarborough area. there are many other good pho joints in scarborough, but pho vietnam brings together the best of eveything. smooth and clear broth, firm and al dente ( dry ) noodles, good serving of meat. always plenty of parking in a back corner of sky plaza. serve time vary from time to time. overall very solid restaurant. 4 / 5 am always here."

"wow this was a really good place to go and eat seafood. very very expensive. as it should. you have been warned. this is a very casual place dress up. no hats are allowed to be worn in here. we sat at the bar and ate, and the two young women were great. their tuna tartare is the best i've ever had. also there oysters were great. seafood is really on point check out my pics.",
"french food is a favorite for me and my girlfriend. since we were staying at the bellagio, going to michael mina's was inevitable. michael mina's at the bellagio is an intimate setting, fairly quite and more upscale. we had a great dinner. had some lobster ravioli, a butternut squash soap, duck breast, and seared ahi tuna. all delicious and perfectly prepared. dessert was equally enjoyable, and we both splurged and had the trio that was wonderful. i have since visited another michael mina restaurant ( bardot brasserie ) and it was another enjoyable dining experience in a less formal setting. tl ; dr - go. : )",
"michael mina's is a place i come every time i visit sin city. it is one of my favorites and has never disappointed me. the food is a class act and the tastes are artfully prepared. the tartare is amazing, and every fish dish i've had there has quite literally blown me away.",
"we did the tasting menu, but we should have just gotten the lobster pot pie. it was great! lobster pot pie!",
"there's not much that hasn't already been said. the seafood is what shines and they do a great job. there's a fantastic selection of wines to suit any dish and palate. the amuse bouches were quite good. a girlfriend opted for the vegetarian tasting menu and was very pleased.",
"i'm rating this 4 stars. they are super creative with their menu items. my wife and i are foodies and we can appreciate the talent the chef staff have. we ordered both tasting menu options and shared them. the problem is that for the price, i much rather would have gone to a killer steakhouse. steak is where my passion lies. this is not michael mina's fault, but mine. so again, if you get all crazy over the idea of creatively prepared filets of hard to find fish and amazing tasting shellfish this place will amaze you. you will probably rate it 5 stars. just make sure your credit card has breathing room. ; - )",
"lobster pot pie is a must. the food is definitely worth the price!",
"when in vegas it seems fun to spend the monopoly money on good meals. when it hits, you are happy, when it misses you are bummed. mina is a hit. not cheap but well worth it. he is excellent at blending flavors and textures. the lobster pot pie is as good as advertised. the phyllo crusted sole was also terrific. the service was terrific and the waiter brought us a comped dessert when were busy debating wheter to order one. a wonderful meal."
] |
i was looking for a place for a nice christmas dinner since my folks were in town, a friend suggested michael mina, and it was great. i gotta say the staff is extremely friendly and are always there to help. the food is also great, the lobster pot pie is a must try, it's amazing!

"the fresh noodles option is a good selling point. service was prompt and courteous. the soup, however, is lacking on flavors. would give it a second try for the noodles.",

"this place has really nice decor inside which gives this place a really nice vibe lol the food itself wasn't anything different than what you would get at any other pho restaurant ( all pho tastes kinda the same to me tbh ) but i don't remember having any complaints so that's always a good sign. if you like pho and want to go somewhere with a nice aesthetic check out this place",
"a bit pricier than most places and the food doesn't really stand out. however the decor is nice and clean. when i come here the parking isn't a problem either.",
"above average for vietnamese good. meat was not dry & veggies were fresh. the soup base for noodles was flavourful but not salty. avocado shake was rich & creamy & not too sweet.",

a solid pho restaurant in a neighbourhood filled with competitors. the interior is comfortable given the soaring ceiling but the chairs are a bit of an offset. the food is good and they have options for dry noodles or regular noodles. price point is average and overall it's a clean, comfortable venue with tasty food for when you have that pho craving.

"this place was amazing. our server was friendly and attentive. we tried the tasting menu. all of the food was amazing and we were stuffed. the caviar appetizer was amazing. the dessert was a mini root beer float with the best cookies i've ever tasted. the boxcar cocktail is delicious.",
"the food was absolutely amazing. we started with the ahi tuna. this was by far the best ahi tuna i have ever eaten. it was delicious! the spices and added flavors made my mouth say \" wow \". our main courses, lobster pot pie and the chilean sea bass were just as amazing. the chilean sea bass was flavorful with an asian twist. mmm the lobster pot pie. the presentation had my mouth watering. the cream sauce and the veggies with the lobster has me wanting more. my mouth had a party because it was that fantabulous!",
"we did tasting menu with the wine pairings. best choice! ( but defiantly not cheap ) walking through the christmas themed bellagio was amazing to start. we were seated in the back of the restaurant which was kinda nice. the food was amazing, all of it. presentation was beautiful! lobster pot pie. really talked up. i expected more. kobe beef = love it german chocolate cake three ways. yum in general it was nice. would i go back? probably not. vegas has too many other amazing places to try!",
"i would have to say this restaurant was one of the best dining experience for me. i had the regular tasting menu while my husband ordered the cookbook menu. we also had the wine pairing. each wine that was brought out with our meal complimented each other very well. i tried his plate and wine and he would try mine. we had nothing bad to say about each item that was brought out to us. the master sommelier even came out most of the time to explain each wine pairing. service was excellent. i would definitely recommend this restaurant!",
"michael mina's is officially my favorite restaurant. i have a penchant for good food gras, and the always have something amazing on the menu. i also love the lobster pot pie! the bar tender was so cool... she let me try three different wines because i'm unfamiliar with the french ones which they had a lot of. so i must say the service was really special, because the wine expert came of to talk to me. guess what? he was from seattle : - )",

"i love michael mina. for those who have been, saltwater in mgm grand detroit was amazing. unfortunately, it closed but let me tell you that it lives on at michael mina in vegas. unfortunately, i am not knowledgable about which restaurant came first but i would say i have found my favorite fine dining chef. we got the tasting menu and it was orgasmic. it has everything i love in fine dining : caviar, tuna tartare, chilean sea bass, lobster pot pie, ribeye, and dessert. the service was great and everyone was very nice.",
"i love this place! always top notch. the ahi tuna appetizer is a must! and the lobster pot pie is as delicious as the presentation is beautiful! friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere and lighting. i highly recommend for special occasions!"

this is my belated review! i can say this place is amazing! the staff is accommodating and food so so good. you have to remember to wear a jacket and no shorts though. i came after relaxing at the pool and luckily i had a room upstairs. my highlighting favorite is the caviar parfait and tuna tartar. writing this review makes me think about those flavors so much. you are in for a treat!

"my friend and i tried two different tasting menu there. generally it was good, but just felt a little bit over priced. i paid 180 for mu meal in all including a cup of rose and tip, tax. if you never tried any modern mixture of french and japanese cuisine, i would recommend it.",
"prix fix meal is an easy way to sample different appetizers and entrees, but it is pricey at $ 125 pp without drinks. ordering off the menu didn't seem much cheaper. food was inventive and flavorful. however we both didn't feel good afterwards, so something wasn't as fresh as it should have been. save your money and time and choose another place.",
"my last experience here was blah... service was good but bot as good as you'd expect, and food unfortunately was not good : / very very sad as i wanted to love this place, and couldn't wait to try michael mina's cuisine. one thing i can recommend is godiva martini",
"middle of the road main course, great dessert, good wine selection, but, when you throw in the price, over $ 100 per person, it was a little disappointing. the service was prompt, and on our table. someone slid the bill down the second we finished the desert, and for the next 30 minutes that we were finishing our wine, not one visit from anyone..... it is a 3 star joint, when you take it all in.",
"we had the tasting menu - the seasonal and the classic. i won't describe it all as lots of people went into detail in their reviews. for us, the food was decent - not super nor outstanding. the sea bass is supposed to be moist and fatty but was significantly overcooked ; however, the beef and veal loin were really good. everything else was decent. just be prepared to spend at least 2 hours! i was getting really impatient at the end. we won't go back not because it was bad but because there are lots of other better restaurants in vegas.",
"good food but there are better places in town for the price. great service though.",
"i wanted to like this place. the staff were personable and nice. the ambiance was comfortable. the food was just ok. i wasn't impressed with any of the dishes. they were just ok. for the price we were paying, it just didn't qualify as a great meal. we were both disappointed. my bf loves foie gras and beef, but he wasn't impressed at all. i think it's difficult to follow picasso. we ate at picasso the night before so that might have something to do with it. however, we didn't love anything michael mina served up.",
"i enjoyed my dining experience and was excited to dine at this well known chef's restaurant. for the cost, however, i have had better. yet, the prix fixe theater menu was a nice touch. i do suggest a few more options by the glass."

for a high end steakhouse, wasn't too impressed. there are a lot of restaurants in vegas opened by lots of well known chefs and this one was just ok. for the price, i was expecting more on the service and food level. i did appreciate that they were able to accommodate without a reservation. overall, i would spend my money elsewhere for a more satisfying meal.

"i had dinner at this restaurant and was sorely disappointed. the service was slow and the food was below average, at best. hopefully, this was an isolated experience.",
"ordered the seafood trio which was $ 47 and literally 6 bites of food. it was delicious, but at that price, it was outrageous. won't be coming back.",
"we had dinner at 10pm and it was terrible. staff was tired & lobster pot pie was cold. i would recommend coming here early for dinner and order prefix menu before 10pm.",
"poor service for such a high end place. one dish was very good one ok and another, scallops, was very bad. bill for 2 without any drinks was over $ 250. atmosphere not spectacular for the money.",
"we had a large group from out of state and had been looking forward to dinner here. first, we were told that we could have some people order the tasting menu and some order a la carte by the host. then our server said it was all or nothing which was disappointing. our server was very awkward and cold. not welcoming at all. i would think for what they are charging, that the service would be top notch. and for $ 130 pp ( not including alcohol ) the food was just ok. i had the ribeye. i've had $ 25 ribeye of similar quality / taste. harvest in the bellagio is much better and similar priced. in situations like this, gratuity should not be included.",
"this place was really over - hyped. they advertise themselves as having a vegetarian menu, then when you go they don't mention anything unless you do. we told them we had a show to go to and they said that 2 hours was sufficient time, failing to tell us that it was not enough time for the tasting menu. our meal was rushed, and we had to take the main course in a doggie bag, and run to our show, missing the first 15 minutes. quite pretentious, the food is decent but i could get quality like that for a third of the price in nyc.",
"food : below average ( strip steak gristly, filet eh ) drink : above average ( espresso martini ) serv : poor speed. 35 min til entree. friendly server. music : below average price : poor other : instead of leaving bread, was asked which roll i wanted, although they did allow you to eat additional rolls upon request",
"for such a nice restaurant, i honestly was pretty disappointed. i had high expectations for the $ 88 lobster pot pie. unfortunately i found the lobster to be over cooked, and the thick sauce did not compliment the lobster at all. we enjoyed the heirloom tomato appetizer and corn soup. overall felt it was not worth the cost and will not be going back."

not so good. came here during after hrs at 11pm and everything was premade and cold. i had ordered the turkey black bean and of course it was premade and so was the jalapeno cornbread. at least they could've warmed up the cornbread and soup but no, it was cold and cornbread was cold and hard. overall the two stars are for the two nice severs. other than that this place would've received a 1 star or is possible 0 star

"service was exceptional - especially marcio. he is the man. the ambiance is really nice ; this would be an exceptionally nice place for a business dinner. very elegant. i had the tasting menu with wine pairings. the onion and leek soup was one of the best soups i've ever had. if you come here, you have to get the root beer float. it's their specialty, and it's truly awesome.",
"the absolute best meal i have ever had, and i have been to the french laundry, so that's saying a lot. you have to get the lobster pot pie, simply unreal. the service was impeccable, the location is perfect, the decor and ambiance is perfect.... i could heap superlatives on this place all day long. a definite must have while in vegas.",
"this is my belated review! i can say this place is amazing! the staff is accommodating and food so so good. you have to remember to wear a jacket and no shorts though. i came after relaxing at the pool and luckily i had a room upstairs. my highlighting favorite is the caviar parfait and tuna tartar. writing this review makes me think about those flavors so much. you are in for a treat!",
"when in vegas it seems fun to spend the monopoly money on good meals. when it hits, you are happy, when it misses you are bummed. mina is a hit. not cheap but well worth it. he is excellent at blending flavors and textures. the lobster pot pie is as good as advertised. the phyllo crusted sole was also terrific. the service was terrific and the waiter brought us a comped dessert when were busy debating wheter to order one. a wonderful meal.",
"hey now this was 5 stars. i traveled to vegas for a day to enjoy a nice dinner and the spa for the day. i had an amazing server, li and the additional staff proved to be such gentlemen and attentive. i love it. i mean they pulled back the table as i rose to use the restroom, promptly delivered my wine and food. i just had such an accomodating experience it was worth every $ ; - ) i didnt mind paying $ 118 for my dinner w / a twenty % tip included. i would go back and recommend the sole with snow peas along with a white wine. missing you mm in vegas... shonta via philadelphia",
"a new addition to my list of favorites when visiting sin city! this is a gem, which should be sampled at least once. the menu choices are not plentiful, but land and sea happily dominate. if you love caviar, this is the place for you. the chilean sea bass was delicious as was the lobster pot. the flavors were wonderful and sinfully rich. the sea tasting was also memorable and the side of carrots and peas so tasty. the only thing we didn't try was the steaks on offer, which will give me a reason to return! i must add that the service as well as the presentation were just lovely.",
"in a word, \" wow!!! \" my wife and i are self proclaimed \" foodies \" so we try to eat at the most recommended places each time we visit a location. michael mina came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. the meal ranked easily in our top 3 of all time and we have eaten as some excellent spots both domestic and internationally. we opted for the signature tasting menu with sommelier pairing and were delighted. the caviar parfait and the lobster pot pie were simply to die for. with each course it just grew better and better. the staff is exceptionally accommodating, provided wonderful service and made the meal a more memorable event. cannot recommend this restaurant enough. splurge and enjoy yourself, you will not be disappointed!!!",
"service and the food was great. we did both tasting menu's and they didn't have any problem catering to certain allergy needs. the caviar parfait is well worth the 45 dollar supplement. taste and seasoning i give micahel mina 5 stars. service.. very attentive and the lobster pot pie i give 6 stars. so rich and delicate at the same time. great experience and will defenitiely try michal mina's other concepts."

wow this was a really good place to go and eat seafood. very very expensive. as it should. you have been warned. this is a very casual place dress up. no hats are allowed to be worn in here. we sat at the bar and ate, and the two young women were great. their tuna tartare is the best i've ever had. also there oysters were great. seafood is really on point check out my pics.

"ryan was very honest about the repairs and very pleasant to deal with. i called him at 7 : 30am and he answers the phone, and for me scheduled and fixed quickly. i will use them for all my future garage door work. i don't write reviews very often, but after all of the different repair companies i have dealt with in vegas with bad work and service i wanted to highlight a company that provided good service and work.",
"our springs broke so i took too yelp to find the best rated garage door specialist. requested a quote from a couple companies. went with ryan since he gave me an upfront quote not like the others who wanted to see what was actually wrong in order for them to quote me. ryan replied right away this morning and within a couple of hours was at my front door. he took a look at my garage and also saw other things wrong, wish we could have done all the things he quoted but with a new baby money is tight. thank goodness everything that was fixed was well within budget. i highly recommend ryan and his company and will go to him for all our garage door needs. he's upfront and knows his stuff.",
"i spoke with jeremy, who gave me a quote for broken springs. patrick showed up and replaced the broken springs, same day service. made a few adjustments and came in within the quote. good service, friendly service and a fair price make me comfortable with this company. thank you for responding quickly and efficiently to get my broken garage door working again!",
"i wanted to have the garage door spring replaced today and checked yelp for recommendations. i noticed that 1st call garage doors had excellent ratings from customers so gave them a call. all i can say is, ryan and his company 1st call garage doors deserves every bit of the five star rating that they have earned. ryan was able to immediately come out as his next appointment was not until later in the day. ryan is a true professional and he did an excellent job installing the new spring. i can totally endorse this company should you need garage door opener service in the future. his knowledge of the subject matter is nothing short of excellence. great job ryan and thanks for coming to my home so quickly.",
"very very happy with the service i received as well as with the time between me calling and them arriving. this will be my go to garage door service every time. i highly recommend this company.",
"was recommended by my coworker at work and thank god i took her advice. amazing quick service, knowledgeable tips & advice for potential problems in the future. i felt like i learn a lot after meeting & talking to patrick who came by late at night to fix my springs. family own business who knows what they're doing. and the prices you just can't beat. i want to personally thank you guys for everything. will contact in the future for more problems and i highly recommend them! give them a call!",
"very pleased ; starting with quick responses ( before 7a ) on my quote request, being able to accommodate my schedule, and quick professional service. started the day off with who am i going to get to replace this broken spring? ended the day a very happy customer, and i will definitely recommend 1st call garage doors repair and service to friends & family!",
"jeremy stopped by today & had no issues giving an estimate. he was professional & had patience with us answering question. he is a remarkable employee for 1st call garage for sure. so to jeremy - thank you & keep up the good work.!"

i was referred to this company by the company who is installing my car lift in the garage. i spoke with ryan who put me in contact with jeremy who did install. these guys are very professional and they keep you informed and cleaned up their mess after they were done. i would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs garage door service.

"you have to get one thing...... the whole roasted foie gras for two. that's 1. 5 lbs of foie gras carved table - side. that and a bottle of veuve clicquot makes any night.",
"the food tastes good and it better for $ 50 a plate. the price point is about $ 60. for a 6oz steak. i must say i think my $ 100 would have been more rewarding with bernie madoff than michael mina's rip - off dishes. i think the portions of the food alone are reason enough to think twice about eating here. it did taste good but i'll be sick to my stomach over how ripped off i got. i cleaned both of my plates because i'm still hungry!",
"had the tasting special 5 items small portions with desert $ 129 package pricey but good stuff foie gras ( excellent ) and wagyo steak ( very good ), the lobster pot pie ( very good ), and the phyllo crusted sole ( fantastic ). after a couple scotch on rocks and tip.. looking at almost $ 200 per person. i enjoyed the whole experience. they don't rush you to open up tables at these prices. a good thing! the braised encrusted short ribs were dry, stay away from these, i highly recommend this place for special occasions.. not every week.",
"make sure to bring strong credit cards, but worth the price of admission. the food here is very good. lots of great items, dover sole, lobster pot pie, caviar, solid steaks..... as one would expect for this class of white linen service, wine list is up to par with great variety. prices were also not crazy, but ok. good place for a business dinner or special meal.",
"outstanding seafood restaurant probably the best i've ever been to. but then again i would not expect anything less being at the bellagio. we ordered the fried red snapper fortwo. it was enormous. spicy but i like that. very good service by the wedding stuff and maitre d '.",
"their prix fixe dinner was a delight. we went here for a celebration, and it was a nice, intimate experience with delicious food and attentive but non - intrusive waitstaff. we did notice that a head waiter appeared to be training our waiter but it was early evening. the menus change regularly.",
"we had the tasting menu. it was good but nothing mind blowing. went a few times and decided that ordering from the menu a better option than the tasting menu. my kids love their appetizers.",
"delicious food, expensive, bad service, and ok atmosphere. the negatives drop the rating from 5 stars to 3 stars. the delicious and creative food is what's carrying the 3 star rating."
] |
once you get over the fact that this is vegas and every restaurant is unique and the same, it comes down to the experience. eating here is just like any formal four star establishment. food was pretty damn good and prices are to be expected. there is no amazing view so while i rate this quite highly i would definitely not go here again when there are plenty of better options.

"i called these guys this morning because my garage door broke trying to open last night and was crooked and stuck. ryan made the appointment for this afternoon and patrick showed up at the scheduled time to fix it. he showed me one of the big springs at the top that had broken and quoted a price to fix it. the price was good, and patrick was knowledge, courteous, and professional. he replaced the springs and got the door and tracks straitened out and working perfectly in about 30 - 35 minutes. i would definitely recommend these dudes and will call them again next time i need a garage door repaired or replaced.",
"i called 1st call garage doors to repair my garage door that had suddenly stopped responding to the remote control. ryan answered the phone politely and listened intently as i tried to explain my garage door issue. i also expressed that i had an urgent need to have the door repaired within 4 hours ( before noon ). ryan arrived promptly before noon, quickly assessed the issue, quoted repair options and prices, and got the job well within my schedule. ryan's responsiveness, professionalism, and expertise minimized interruption to my workday and quickly alleviated my worries over the unexpected garage door issue. i highly recommend ryan and 1st call garage doors and will contact them for any future garage needs.",

"we had a moment of impatience at my house and we tried pulling into the garage beforee the door was completely open - needless to say the car won and the door needed to be replaced. i reached out to several door companies and ryan was 1st to respond. he gave me a quote over the phone friday night and i scheduled them to come look saturday. patrick, one of the technicians called 30 minutes prior to the scheduled time. he was prompt and polite. verified the quote which was what ryan quoted me. being saturday they scheduled a monday repair day. they came and did a great job. a + highly recommended!! thank you 1st call!!",

"amazing! we had the luxury of eating here two nights in a row. service is excellent and the dining experience is something we will always remember. all future trips to vegas will include a stop at michael mina. thanks for making our work trip special!! we can't wait to come back.",
"i think it was the best meal i ever had. i had the cookbook tasting meal... too good for words! i can't wait to go back!",
"we had the 6 course menu. everything from foie gras, cavair, wagyu beef to dessert of a rootbeer float. our waiter was super friendly ( but not to much ). our chef was actively getting our courses done so we could make our show \" o \". all around service, food, tasteful details were excellent. our 9 year old child ate every course ; and loved it. highly recommend trying this restaurant.",
"she said.... \" this place is amazing! if you are looking for a fancy date night with amazing wine and food this is the place to go to! my husband and i literally loved everything. the salad, steaks, truffled polenta and desert was excellent. we will definitely have to come back next time we are in vegas. such a great experience. \"",
"might be hands down the best restaurant in vegas!!! this was not the first or last time we will dine at mm or a mina concept... hands down splurge and do the tasting menu you will be impressed beyond your dreams. each dish is prepared perfect and add caviar from the table side cart with vodka or champagne!!! the service is spot on you will sit back and relax thru an amazing culinary trip.",
"the restaurant invites the dining guests into a cozy and contemporary setting with dimmed lights and soft music to relax the senses. interior detail is impeccable down to the linen draped padded table top - nice touch mm. we had the chef's choice menu which included ahi tuna tartar, lobster pot pie, wagy ribeye steak, assortment of fun desserts and coffee for $ 90 per person. food quality and presentation is as expected among the popular celebrity chefs in the vegas area with mm reputation standing out a bit higher than the rest of the bunch. our server was especially gracious and attentive which bolstered our excellent gastronomic experience at mm. definitely will return next time in vegas.",
"what an experience. go early and sit at the bar with alisha! she will give you the scoop on the menu and keep you totally entranced the entire time. the seafood taster is simply incredible. the best oysters ever! the lobster and crab salad were amazing. the cerviche, well, unlike anything we have ever had... you eat it with a crispy bellini and popcorn! and the foie gras with a pineapple upside down addition is just incredible. go for the food but ask for alisha... going back real soon.",
"i have visit many restaurants and by far this year this is in my top five, number 1 on my list at the current moment. i recently visited las vegas, was staying in the bellagio. this restaurant was always book, or reservations was only available a certain time of night, so if you can get a reservation i honestly recommend you keep it. 5 stars at its best the decor of the restaurant, and the waiter, host also the chef phenomenal, job well done. i will be back soon!"

this restaurant is the epitome of fine dining. the food is to die for, the service impeccable. it was an experience in itself. perfect for a romantic night with your spouse, or a great girls night or perfect for foodies. food wise you don't want to miss the lobster pot pie because it is divine, but also the filet mignon and the ahi tuna tartare appetizers were also not to be missed. our server was outstanding and the entire experience was lovely and worth the expense.

"this review was for our family trip on last christmas day. the meal was a seven course menu. unfortunately none of dish was remarkable. great service but i can't tell you what i had. our family had such a great expectations going on, but we were slightly disappointed. each dish was very salty and for the money it wasn't worth it. interior deco was very outdated.",
"outstanding seafood restaurant probably the best i've ever been to. but then again i would not expect anything less being at the bellagio. we ordered the fried red snapper fortwo. it was enormous. spicy but i like that. very good service by the wedding stuff and maitre d '.",
"undoubtedly great food. we had the menu sampler so we tasted pretty much everything. everything was great, although i was a little disappointed by the desserts. good decor, perfect service. cons : pricey but worth it.",
"i'm not here to review the food. it was excellent, however the service was atrocious. i have been to michael mina in san francisco and would rate it 4 / 5 stars. every time i've been, the staff has been extremely friendly and attentive. in las vegas, i found just the opposite. we waited 45 minutes before our waiter even took our appetizer order! he didn't check on our table during the meal and even made me feel uncomfortable because he was so cold. my colleague and i were entertaining clients and i was mortified.",
"michael mina's is officially my favorite restaurant. i have a penchant for good food gras, and the always have something amazing on the menu. i also love the lobster pot pie! the bar tender was so cool... she let me try three different wines because i'm unfamiliar with the french ones which they had a lot of. so i must say the service was really special, because the wine expert came of to talk to me. guess what? he was from seattle : - )",
"i really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. the food is beautifully prepared and the service is great too. exactly what you would expect from a place with the mina name. i was lucky to enjoy a 5 ( or was it 7? ) course meal with wine pairing. so, i got to try a little of everything. the main dishes were good, as well as a perfect dessert finish. great dining atmosphere as well - dim, clean, and not too noisy.",
"excellent service to the point they are almost falling over you. i believe they really want you to have the ultimate dining experience. i had the pre - theatre price - fix dinner which is more than adequate. the amuse buche was like only something you would get in a top rated restaurant. i upgraded to the 2 lb lobster pot pie and for only the second time ever i could not eat all the lobster. they brought me the wrong desert and told me to enjoy it anyway as they also brought me the desert i ordered while telling me they both compliment each other so it was ok. depending on what you order it can get expensive but if you want a good dining experience with great service i would definitely recommend",
"i've had one customer dinner per year at this restaurant for the past 5 years and have always been pleased. this year was the best. many of us chose a 6 - course tasting menu featuring many of the items on the a la carte menu. each course was memorable. there were combinations of items and seasonings that created wonderful tastes i've never experienced before! the lower mark for service is directed at the kitchen, which left a 30 minute gap between course 3 and 4. it affected the mood of the table and took us out of our conversation. otherwise the waitstaff was very attentive and helpful. this is the most expensive restaurant i go to in vegas, but it is also the best!"

this review was for our family trip on last christmas day. the meal was a seven course meal. unfortunately none of dish was remarkable. service was amazing but what can i say. our family did not enjoy any of dish and for the money it wasn't worth it. interior deco was very outdated. they do have good wine list but if meal is not good then you don't enjoy wine either. sorry michael mina.

"wow, this place is awesome!!! the service is excellent!!! food was all fresh, hot & delicious! all you can eat for an unbeatable price! everyone from the manager to the busboy, couldn't be friendlier. love this place!",
"love this place! my nephews loved it too. the food was fresh and delicious, in a fun, warm, and friendly atmosphere. every time we have been here, my family has really enjoyed it. no complains and above my expectations.",
"wiley is the best!! he made my whole family smile & he made us feel so welcome. thank you for being the greatest employee wiley we appreciate all your hard work and advice on the food. your customer service is amazing!",
"first of all anyone who come to cicis for gourmet pizza is at the wrong place. don't bother coming here. i consider myself a cicis connoisseur. it is probably my favorite restaurant chain and i've eaten at probably most of them across the country. this one is always the best. the staff is always very friendly, the buffett always well stocked and fresh. their pizza somehow tastes better than the other locations. plus this is constantly the cleanest i've visited. keep it up guys!!",
"great customer service from the manager and bus boy : ) the food is always fresh and delicious. we live the bbq pork pizza!! omg'soo good! the price is affordable i recommend it",
"in the last couple of months this place has gone through its fare share of management and employees. this location is nice, clean, and there is a blonde lady who is a manager here who is awesome! very nice, friendly, always remembers us! she is very helpful and is always working hard! ever since she started working here we come often so hopefully they don't move her!",
"what a great place to go for an awesome lunch buffet! i love their salad bar, chicken noodle soup and their assortment of pizza is yummy! plus they respect the usa veterans with a nice discount! the staff is always professional and the establishment is always clean! great place to take co - workers, family, and friends. you never leave with a empty stomach. omg the calories, guess i will workout after. lol",
"my daughter loves this place, and always has. every time we walk in we get greeted, they talk to her like a person ( she's 9 ), but ignore her because she not's paying. she enjoys getting her own food, and because i can see her from any table, she enjoys going up alone. all the servers are polite and make a point to talk to her, and the pizza is always hot. this is a regular lunch / dinner spot when i am out with my kids running errands or to just get them out of the house to give my wife 2 hours of alone time. finally, can't beat the price."

service is superb. food is excellent and made to order as requested. wiley is amazing, how lucky this business is to have such a wonderful employee. he greets customers as they come in, is very attentive to any needs we had and even pushed my chair in as i sat down, he even opened the door for us as we left, he's such a gentleman. i will definitely dine here every time i'm here in las vegas!

"i'm literally giving this place 5 stars solely on the fact that wiley is the most amazing and enthusiastic employee i have ever seen. he will brighten the day of anyone who steps foot into this location. pizza is ok too",
"first time here today and it was an awesome place for unlimited pizza and salad and desert!!!! great service, i will be coming here more often!",
"i always love cicis, nothing big about this location but the staff is friendly. i love how you can request special orders of pizzas free of charge!",
"what a good value! a small salad then hot fresh stuffed crust pizza, meat lovers etc. i always special order a flat crust with bacon, sausage, pineapple and extra cheese : ) ) warm gooey cinnamon rolls and brownie for desert. free wifi is nice. friendly staff and clean place.",
"the pizza is pretty good. they take special requests and the staff is very friendly. they do a mac n cheese pizza ( yeah i know it sounds kinda weird ) that is surprisingly good. pizza selection is good, thin crust, deep dish, veggie and meat are all up. salad bar is a little sparse but adequate. usually three selections for desert, apple / cream cheese pizza, brownies and cinnamon rolls. if you can snag a couple fresh made cinnamon rolls you will not be disappointed. only drawback is they have coke products but they have tea. coupons abound, you will get an offer on the back of the receipt.",
"cheap and to the point! you will not get gourmet pizza here but they try! the spinach and white is my fav! something your body can allow only once in awhile but great for large kid gatherings!",
"for the price this is a great place to eat. the workers where nice and helpful. it can get very busy but its worth it",
"five stars for take out orders. brownies & cinnamon rolls. quick and easily purchased."

cici's has the best price for pizza. if you like to try many different kinds of pizza, then this is definitely the place for you! the pizza is ok in quality, it could be better, but for the price it is defiantly unbeatable. this may just be the cheapest buffet in vegas. they are very kid friendly, and there are always many kids around, given the nature of the business. if you're not a fan of kids running around, it's probably not the place for you.

"staff was very friendly. salad was fresh. pizza was good, about a 3 star rating, but the thing that pushed the rating to a 4 star was the cinnamon rolls - wow, they are good. i wish i could get them in the morning with my starbucks.",
"pros - great and friendly service, and well worth the price. custom pizza made fresh to order. soup is good, salad is to the point and pasta is decent. staff and manager are all very personable. cons - pizza is a bit bland and needs help, but not bad at all.",
"i have been to a couple cici's in other states, this one was a little disappointing. but, for the price ( $ 5. 50 per person + $ 1. 50 for drink ) you are getting endless pizza and there awesome cinnamon roll things. the pizza here is quantity, not quality, although they do have interesting topping combos ( like mac & cheese or buffalo chicken ) and they rotate pretty often. don't expect much from the \" salad bar \", its basically two pre - made salads soaked in dressing. overall, its ok. i'll probably be back only because i can't get enough of there cinnamon rolls.",

"i always see cici commercials on tv and am instantly sold - - pizza buffet? down : ] well, i finally found a cici's in las vegas - - since ive never been to one in california. its definitely not a fancy place, but its pretty good for the price you pay. i think the lunch buffet was around four bucks a person - - and you cannot beat that! the pizza was so so, but you get what you pay for! there is definitely no real complaints here! however the only thing i wish was that they had something for dessert - - because their sugary breadstick things were not crackin. so if youre hungry and in this area give this place a try : ]",
"nothing fancy its a meal to survive not to enjoy. the salad was fresh green and fully stocked, the pizza was hot always filled when low and good for the price. the best part of the meal was the cinnamon roll and the brownie, my idea is that they make the last part of the meal the best so you have that gooey memory in your mind the next time you think of cici. i wouldnt hesitate to return to this location in the future when i get the cravings for cheap pizza..",
"came here with my family one day for dinner. the price of the buffet is cheap and you can even get them to make you your own pizza! that was a plus. when i came in, i was greeted by the staff. the politeness of the staff is the real reason why i'm giving such a good review. the pizza is okay. you get what you pay for. but the cinnamon rolls are flipping delicious.",
"if you are looking for the most amazing pizza in vegas you aren't going to find it here. however, this would be an awesome place to take your kid for lunch or dinner. its a buffet style pizza place ( if you can call it pizza ) with an arcade and a little room to run around. the price is great $ 4. 99 for lunch, are you kidding me? i would totally come back when i have friends in town and we are looking for a cheap, fun place to feed the kids and have a little grown up time while the kids play... but you won't find me here otherwise."

inside of building was a little grungy feeling. the staff was really nice and the food was good. i really like that they had a soup and salad selection because after eating 5 pieces of pizza and not being full i was feeling a little guilty and wanted a healthier option to finish me off. the ice for their drinks is crunchy and small bits to which is my favorite.

"great experience all the way around. the entematadas were exceptional ; the red sauce was so fresh and delicious and the blend of flavors, perfection! my friend had a veggie quesadilla with mushrooms and spinach and was equally satisfied. the servers were warm, friendly, accommodating and very professional. highly recommend. i can't wait to go back!",
"took my mom here for lunch.... she loved it! it was authentic and very flavorful. the fideo brought back so many memories and the salsa was fresh, tortillas were absolutely wonderful! home made! atmosphere was nice, service was excellent! if you want a cup of coffee and a scone, they can take care of that too!",
"roland's was developed by chris bianco from pizzeria bianco and the folks from taco chiwas. the result isn't a fusion but a merge of cooking styles. the quesadillas are cooked in a pizza oven and are absolutely fantastic. i had the veggie quesadilla with fresh spinach, mushrooms, onion, and cheese. it was crisp and fresh. i also had their cookies and coffee. this is a great place and i'm excited to see it thrive. they're coffee and service was fantastic!",
"holy cow!! this place is fantastic! had the mexican salad with the steak. steak is flavorful and tender. greens are fresh, and dressing delicious. food is tasty, and fresh, and service is the best. these people are simply put, very good at putting together great food. the atmosphere is wonderful. original tile ceilings in this cool old building. the tile is beautiful and the big windows are as nourishing as the food. yum!",
"a new place with a new feel! the menu is diverse and the staff is amazing! jack was our server and brit was our barista. our four top had a range of food including the mortadella quesadilla ( recommended by jack ), the empanadas ( with green chili, garbanzo bean dip ), and the delightfully spicy chile colorado. brit hooked us up with a variety of caffeinated delights. this place is perfect for you if you are looking for a modern take on traditional mexican fare in an environment that has a galvanizing energy in a gentrified neighborhood. be sure to ask your server for his / her recommendation on the menu and sample something new. you won't be disappointed!",
"five stars for the love. easy to see and feel the love hear. from the thoughtful design to the engaging staff to the well thought out menu easy to see everyone is on the same page. could the execution of each item be a tad better? sure and i am positive that will improve. two of us tried about seven dishes, all thoughtfully prepared. only disappointment was dessert. we would have really liked some better choices. besides that superb. p / s i've owned a dozen restaurants over 35 years. wishing you well... oh and dave did s great job",
"the tacos are solid. similar to tacos chiwas, which is expected. i had one of each : beef, chicken and pork. the star of the meal was the desert. needless to say, the tart was incredible. service was incredible. highly recommended, especially for lunch.",
"i really like that they re - purposed the old building. it has a lot of character. the food is very flavorful and they have a nice selection on the various menus. the service is very friendly and informative. the drinks are super delicious. i hope that they add on some outdoor seating. see you soon."

came in for breakfast and coffee. soon as you walk in, everyone is friendly and welcoming. we had the chorizo and machaca burrito, they come with potatoes. very filling if you have a big appetite. quality of the food is well thought out and done with love. they could improve coffee.

"we have been coming here for a long time and when we first started coming the food was fresh and amazing this staff was awesome but things of been going downhill for staff is not as friendly the pizza it's on the burnt side, and the restaurant is not as clean as it's always been. i'm hoping this is only temporary and that things get back to the way they were",

for a nice bit stop by here. if you order and take it home place your order there and wait 10 mins the pizza will be hot and very good. they don't have soda as 2 liter but hey smiths is right there by cicis the management is very nice as well as the young lady that rang me up.

"some of the varieties of pizza taste much better then others. however, none of them are overly great. this location used to be much cleaner but it appears management may have changed and the service has gone downhill a bit. i do find the cinnamon rolls to be addictively good though. so i keep going back to get my fix.",
"food is good not great, but what do you expect for cheap.",
"the only reason this place is getting any stars is because the employees are awesome. i would give 5 stars to the staff alone. the owner, however, is very unprofessional and rude. honestly, pay a little more somewhere els for better quality food and service.",
"pizza is ok for the price. the salad bar was under stocked, the soup was very good as was the desert cinnamon rolls. went on a friday night, screaming, crying, running loose kids everywhere, this is where a stiff drink or four would have come into play, but they don't serve those here. don't go in there expecting to find parents in control of their kids!",
"they have now introduced 3 different flatbreads to the buffet and that raises this to 4 stars.",

"not the cleanest cicis i have visited. pizza at noon wasn't very fresh either. but for $ 5. 99, you get what you paid for!"

good food and pretty fast service. but the place smells pretty gross, almost like someone took a dump in ceiling and they never cleaned it out. floors usually sticky, and tables sticky as well. dirty plates and glasses for use. only giving 3 stars because the food is good for take out

"i have been to house many times for dinner and drinks and it is outstanding to say the least. my wife and i wanted to have a small reception for our friends and family in a unique outdoor setting. house was the perfect place. i have been in the bar / restaurant business for over 15 years and this was the easiest planning i have ever done. service was a + and chef matt carters food was outstanding. this is a perfect place to go for a romantic dinner, business lunch, sat / sun brunch, or hold a small reception / shower / reunion on their patio. what a great spot all around. if you haven't tried house you are really missing out.",
"came to dinner here based on the yelp reviews. where do i start? the short rib entree had one rib. one. the extra rare filet was cooked medium. the food in general was mediocre at best. the best part of the meal was the coffee. oh and the men's restroom floor was so slippery that all the members of the party that went to the restroom almost fell. for one hundred dollars per head i expect much much better.",
"the house brasserie was amazing. todd and tommy were our waiters and they were so nice and very helpful in every way. we were there this past weekend for a bacherlorette weekend and the food was amazing. we ordered sevewral dishes and split everything. a few of our favorites were the brisket and biscuit, the duck meatball, the country pork rib, the halibut, the grits, the broccolli. they even gave us a free bottle of champagne to celebrate the night. the atmosphere was so cute and fun. we would definitely come back again!!!",
"wow. this place is fantastic!! came here for lunch one day before we were leaving to go to sedona and i'm thrilled we found it. we walked in during sunday brunch time and they were booked but they had seats at the bar. the bartender was super nice and informative, just what you want to see in a bartender. i would seriously fly back to scottsdale just to come here. 5 stars easily! keep up the amazing work!!",
"ambiance / decor = 5 stars. service = 5 stars. food = 5 stars. doesn't get any better than this. i've now been there for lunch, late night apps / cocktails and most recently brunch! all were wonderful but must say brunch was the best. i can not thinking about the scrambled eggs. seriously the best scrambled eggs on the planet. not sure how they do it but they are so fluffy, creamy and over the top scrumptious. can't wait to go back again! insider secret : the massive pine tree in the backyard was the christmas tree of the first family to live in the house. they planted it after enjoying it for the holidays in 1939.",
"my wife and i went there friday night and has an 8 : 30 reservation. got sat right away. the dinner from the brussels sprout salad through the swordfish and the beer brined chicken was about the best we have every had.... the chicken rocks... the service was perfect and it has the best garden sitting in the city. we met the manager and he took the time to share the history of the house and the chef. go try this place.",
"the decor was amazing and the service was fantastic. the food was absolutely immaculate. the lamb dish was to die for and the chicken was very succulent and had nice sauces. the wild sea bass was cooked to perfection! the appetizers and salads are also very tasty. it was a very good overall experience. i would defiantly like to go back again.",
"excellent restaurant. we ate on the patio. we had the meatball and lobster gnocchi for the table. the meatball was far better. each of us ordered the veal pasta. it was excellent. we also ordered an order of roasted cauliflower which was equally good. will be back."
] |
was blown away by everything. the food was was incredible, service was excellent, the decor was very plush, and the atmosphere was energetic. highly recommend for a date spot. can not go wrong. everything on the menu i and my girlfriend tried was really, really good. we eat out a lot where ever my job travels me too and this is a have to if you are in the phoenix area.

"i always see the cicis commercial. but there is no cicis in california. so, i went to cicis in las vegas. it was really good. they had different types of pizza's and if they didn't have what you wanted they would make it for you. they only had two types of salads but they were good. i was disappointment with the pasta because i was expecting something with alfredo sauce, but i cant complain because the one they had was soooooooo good. i would recommended to anyone that is in the area. i even took some to go... but i should have taken more! next time.",
"came for lunch on a sunday with my kids. i had a card for a free large pizza. the kids loooved the pizza. the guy that was working the register had awesome customer service. he was wearing a light blue collared shirt. maybe the manager? he had excellent engagement with all customers and was very welcoming and helpful. i'm definitely coming back!",

"i have celiacs disease, and i am usually very nervous about eating at a pizza place. the owner knew exactly what to do so i wouldn't get sick. he prepared just for me a crust - less pizza and gf wings. i am so grateful. i highly recommend!",
"ask for the thick crust and they will make you a fresh deep dish pizza that is amazing. the same dough is used on the cinnamon rolls and we were in heaven. service, value, and cleanliness deserve 5 stars. buffet selection is good but didn't see too many veggie options. i'm sure if i asked they would have though. seniors got their drinks included.",
"staff was very friendly. salad was fresh. pizza was good, about a 3 star rating, but the thing that pushed the rating to a 4 star was the cinnamon rolls - wow, they are good. i wish i could get them in the morning with my starbucks.",
"i have never had any issues. very good pizza and they will make whatever kind you want fresh and deliver to your table. $ 5. 99 buffet for salad, pizza, pasta, soup, and dessert is a great price. kids 3 and under eat free as well. the manager has always ben very nice and accommodating to our needs / wants. try the buffalo chicken pizza, its amazing!",

"always walke past this place and finally decide to try it. unique location which i liked. wait staff was friendly and accommodating. good drinks and old fashion was very good. the bake brie was very good and i am not a brie person we also had the chicken and gnocchi starter and that was very tasty. the bolognese and swordfish for dine were tasty and flavorful. portions were good, as they were just enough ( hate walking / rolling out of a resturant because i ate to much ). the drip coffee at the end was great. would recommend to eat here",

"dinner was amazing! although, a very compacted place the food was phenomenal. server was consistent. the decor is really modern and my favorite would be the velvet wall in the break room.",
"after hearing so many great things i brought an out of town colleague for dinner. unfortunately our experience was soso. i knew it would not be an inexpensive dinner but i was disappointed to pay 36 $ for an entre and not be wowed. my fish was good but not amazing. my friends salmon special was a bit dry. the bright spot was the bread board and the drinks. and of course the patio. the staff was nice but a bit over coached. i like a genuine atmosphere. maybe we will try some drinks and appetizers next time and skip the entree.",
"in town with friends, we wanted an early dinner and relaxed environment. the patio seating was delightful. the staff were very attentive and understanding as our group size dwindled when part of the group was delayed at the airport. we enjoyed tantalizing shared plates as starters - especially enjoying the lobster gnocchi and the bursts with bread and house made apple butter. entrees were excellent as well.",

i went here with my girlfriend for valentines day and it was amazing. the staff was very friendly and the service was very good. we sat outside and it was nicely decorated and had a very romantic feel to the place. i would recommend it for sure. the food was also good altho not very big portions for the cost.

"sat outside with another couple and had a great dinner! little pricey, but the quality of food was good. i love to share plates and this place is great for that!",
"really cute little restaurant tucked away in downtown scottsdale. somewhat expensive but great unique dishes, beautiful outdoor seating and wonderful service. nice wine list too.",
"great food, and perfectly portioned. good atmosphere ( especially out front ), good music, good people. it is a bit of a mix of modern and traditional, hard to explain, but my parents and i really liked it. the service was a little too slow at times, but everything else was great.",
"the food was excellent, as was the server but the service itself was slow. a great place for a date or a small group when you are in no rush or when wrapping up wine tasting at lawrence dunham vineyard around the corner. i would recommend the scallops, the fillet and the fried rice.",
"loved the location and ambiance. can't say the chef and i share the same taste for spices. lots of harissa and an un - identifiable spice on everything from the filet, the steak tartare and simple salad dressing that i didn't love. i had the scallops that may have been a tad over - done because they were pretty rubbery. skipped dessert but had great service and a wonderful night overall.",
"the place is beautifull inside and have a warm feeling to it. the patio had an intimate ambiance. i sat at the bar and had some of the shared plates like steak tartar and arugula salad. portion size was small so definitely you have to order couple plates. when ordering from the menu make sure you ask what comes in it so you won't be surprise because items change more often. well done overall and staff were very friendly and helpful.",
"had the house with some good friends and enjoyed the the patio seating. tried 6 appetizers and 4 entrees like we were cool, took food home as the was only 4 of us. the duck buns, the fried rice were really good. the owner was very cool knew our friends bought us a round on much not needed tequila as we we're already tipsy, but nice night cap... i think... don't really remember much. after that.",

went here for brunch and had the chimichurri skirt steak and it was really good. place has a really cool atmosphere on the patio and good service. i had a lot of friends in town from la and vegas and they said they enjoyed the place as well, have to trust their opinion when it comes to food.

"went for dinner saturday night. sat on the patio. the atmosphere was definitely high end and romantic. we had the kale salad, duck confit meatballs and the seared scallops. and for dessert, the caramel upside down apple pie. it was all delicious. i will definitely go again and look forward to it.",
"the house is just how it sounds. it is amazing that matt carter ( zinc bistro and mission ) continues to evolve. so comforting and service was amazinng, especially considering it has only been open a few weeks. king crab and smoked gouda fondue! roasted halibut! and the lamb bolognese was suprisinglyreally good, the lemon marscopone and mint worked fantastically! patio is amazing weather permitting.",
"great food, ambiance and service. oh and don't forget the cocktails. really enjoyed the beef brisket biscuit and the jerk chicken. kale salad was tasty too. my only complaint is on the cheese plate, the piece of cheese + bread was pricey for the amount you receive. our waitress was wonderful and i'm sorry i don't remember her name. she gave great suggestions and spaced our food delivery out wonderfully. will go back soon.",
"had a great dinner in their very nice outdoor patio / garden. food was good and our server richie was fantastic ; had great suggestions for food and drinks and elevated the whole experience. definitely will be coming back and requesting richie's section!",

"first of all anyone who come to cicis for gourmet pizza is at the wrong place. don't bother coming here. i consider myself a cicis connoisseur. it is probably my favorite restaurant chain and i've eaten at probably most of them across the country. this one is always the best. the staff is always very friendly, the buffett always well stocked and fresh. their pizza somehow tastes better than the other locations. plus this is constantly the cleanest i've visited. keep it up guys!!",
"first off manager is my fav she makes sure everyone is happy! and takes care of everyone! great food get service loved it",
"love this place the staff are friendly. it was my first time at this location and couldn't see spinach pizza. so i asked if it was possible for one. they were so nice and willing to help. place was super clean and laid back. love there pizza!!",
"love this place! my nephews loved it too. the food was fresh and delicious, in a fun, warm, and friendly atmosphere. every time we have been here, my family has really enjoyed it. no complains and above my expectations.",
"i never been here before until a few day's ago and i must say i am impressed. went with 2 toddlers 3 kids and 3 adults and it was under 50 bucks. if you wanted wings you would have to pay extra and that included our drinks. the pizza kept running out fast but they kept making more and each time i go up it is a different pizza. my favorite is the mac and cheese its a little weird but tasted better than it sounds. they also had a arcade room in the back for the kids to play. there pizza was not fancy but it taste alot better then chucky cheese. there brownies were kinda dried out but i love the cinnipizza / roll. i diff recommend checking this location out.",
"i've been here a couple of times and so far i've enjoyed the service and cleanliness. wiley in particular is always helpful and smiling. i've seen him open doors for tons of people and greet everyone coming in. honestly i enjoy coming here just because of him. he's a hard worker and i hope he gets recognised for it.",
"i been here twice. for 3. 99 all you can eat pizza it's not that bad. i special order a deep dish pizza and it's my favorite. there is a taco pizza thin crust with shredded beef, lettuce and taco sauce that is yummy as well. if your looking for high quality pizza, your at the wrong place. if your looking for a quick bite that is very cheap, then your in the right place!",
"in the last couple of months this place has gone through its fare share of management and employees. this location is nice, clean, and there is a blonde lady who is a manager here who is awesome! very nice, friendly, always remembers us! she is very helpful and is always working hard! ever since she started working here we come often so hopefully they don't move her!"

we have been coming to this location since it opened. there are other locations in town now that are closer but we still go to this one. they have always been very friendly and lots of choices. my fave pizza is the flat bread spinach, most delicious. i only wish they had pepsi products instead of coke. we will continue to visit here as long as they remain open even though it is way out of our way.

"absolutely love that we found this place! we have been searching for our sushi spot because we had the best place back in utah! i have yet to find a place that even compares to our go to in utah, until now! the restaurant is really cool and trendy. the food is amazing! i am kind of a sushi snob and was super impressed by their selection. i look for sushi that holds flavor all on it's own without having to use soy sauce, wasabi or ginger and they mastered that. i also am very big on presentation and the quality of the roll itself and they nailed it here too! worth checking out!",
"absolutely the best teppan i have ever had. beautiful decor, huge delicious portions and wonderful wait staff. geoffrey, our chef was great! a place to definitely come back to, and we will! what a wonderful way to spend our anniversary!!",
"mondays are one of the best days. half off all rolls! what's not to love? i absolutely love their strawberry butterfish roll, for those of you that don't like spicy rolls, this one is for you! i've had almost every roll on the menu and they are all quite good. they also have great daily specials. definitely worth a try!",
"excellent teppan and sushi place. the chef was hilarious and definitely made it worthwhile. the shrimp and steak are very good. i got adventurous and tried the calamari, but it was bland - maybe that's what it tastes like - i had never tried it before. the sushi rolls are very tasty - i especially like the boom boom roll and the chimichanga roll, but several others i've tried are very good too. if you can catch one of their living social deals for the teppan dinner for 2 it is a great deal. the service we have received has been good. we'll definitely be back soon.",
"this place is awesome! the vibe is so chill and relaxing and both the times i have went, my waiters were very polite and seemed like high quality people. the food is delicious! they have killer deals too! if you register on their website you get a free $ 30 dollar meal during your birthday month, and on sundays it's happy hour all day, which means $ 5 dollar sushi rolls!!! this is my new go to place.",
"first time here after getting up and leaving the table without ordering at hon machi sushi ( that review later ). the sushi room is now rock lobster, same restaurant, new name. we went on sunday, which happened to be happy hour. it included rolls, drinks, appetizers. presentation of sushi rolls was excellent, food was fantastic, and service was great. atmosphere was very nice! i will be coming back!",
"this is my first time coming to rock lobster and i am highly impressed. first of all they have some great specials ( all rolls were half off when i came in ). i wasn't sure what to order and the waiter recommended the poppin roll. i cannot say how amazing this is! it said jalapeno and i'm not a huge fan but the flavor was perfect. definitely recommend!",
"this place is fantastic, im vacationing for the fiesta bowl, staying in tempe and have been craving sushi.. this place satisfied that craving. staff is great. music is great. atmosphere is awesome! hopefully i can make it back before leaving town.."

amazing place. the food is incredible however, the service is even better. polite, courteous, and all over making sure you are waited on properly. i was suprised to find out tonight that manager was not the owner. you could tell by the way she carried herself and paid attention to detail that she treated this establishment as her own. i could go on and on but the only way you'll get it is if you go there yourself. so just do it. you won't regret it.

"the happy hour was a great deal! the rolls i had were really good, the salmon roll in particular had really nice fish and lemon flavor. the atmosphere was cool, i thought the tables with all the sushi facts were neat.",
"sushi bar was great, the wicked roll was delish. hibatchi side looked yummy! everything was great besides are waiter being a little slow. nice little place, not too big though!",
"went for dinner. split the tofu tappan which was enough food for both. being a vegetarian it was nice how cautious they were about making good sure my met my needs. the meal came with soup and shrimp. obviously i didn't have the shrimp and i was expecting the miso soup, however i was bummed when i realized this soup contained fish although it is a soy broth. but they knew that there was fish, so they didn't serve it to me. i give them respect for doing so. i was really impressed with the customer service at this restaurant. they are very accommodating and gracious.",
"ate here during their \" power hour \" which is at 5pm ( and 8pm ) for 1 / 2 price teppanyaki. for our first time trying this place out i was pretty impressed. the service was very attentive with refills and taking our orders. timing was great on appetizers and food ( with the exception that our salad and soup practically came out at the same time, but no big deal ). the teppanyaki chef was funny and very personable. what i liked about this place was the sushi was delicious and the food wasn't over salted or over - buttered. certainly as good as benihana, if not better. worth the price ( even if you're paying full price ). we will come back.",
"last saturday my girl friend and i went out to try rock lobster. i ordered a noodle dish and she had a sushi roll. service was fast. food was good. however, saturday night she came down with food sickness. not a good way to remember rock lobster. too bad the food and ambiance was good.",
"solid food. very nice staff. prices were good. they have some great looking happy hour deals. would definitely come back",
"good sushi, some of our favorite rolls in the valley. the patio is great 8 months out of the year. service is usually pretty good. had an issue tonight that was my fault ( i accidentally ordered the wrong roll ) which the server handled well but the expediter was kind of rude about. he needs to remember that it's all about service! we'll be back though!",
"awesome happy hour specials! tried something completely different, the chimichunga roll - soo tasty! the coconut shrimp was practically a desert with the sweet coconut sauce. service was slow but the sushi was delish. i also used a groupon which helped out bc it is a little pricy if you didn't go during happy hour"
] |
the only reason i give them a 3 is because i adored them as sushi room and miss some of the dishes they served. but i will say that the service and the food was really good. the lollipop roll was layers upon layers of flavors from the ahi to the ponzo was all very well done. will definitely go back!

"very excellent service! friendly environment. we were from out of town and made to feel very welcomed. food was delicious. filet mignon was cooked to perfection. alcoholic beverages ( lemon drop martini and aloha something ) were lacking a little flavor and glasses were smaller than normal for pricing.",
"this used to be the sushi room but now they've added teppanyaki and changed their name. i've been here quite a few times but only had the sushi. the sushi is very good and fresh, high quality with good variety. my only complaint is that the pieces are a little small and still priced high. the waitstaff is great. very friendly. this place get packed on friday and saturday nights so expect you might have a wait for your table and food. inside and outside seating. can be loud near bar and teppanyaki tables.",
"i was very impressed! the tuna tataki sashi was delicious!!! we ordered several rolls including the cowboy roll on happy hour and none of them cost more than $ 8... the sushi was fresh the service was great and it was very reasonably priced! i've definitely found my new favorite sushi / japanese restaurant!!!!",
"sushi bar was great, the wicked roll was delish. hibatchi side looked yummy! everything was great besides are waiter being a little slow. nice little place, not too big though!",

"went here for the first time with a travel zoo voucher. it was a great way to find out about rock lobster. it is a really nice and accommodating place. great experience and food was really good. it is a bit small so i would recommend a reservation.",
"great happy hour prices. love their food. the teppanyaki tables are always empty and just take up too much room in this small dining room. i have been here 20 plus times. the service is almost always good but there are a few wait staff that could do a better job."

came here to celebrate my birthday in january. i wanted teppanyaki and been wanting to try this place for some time. it was kinda of quiet since my birthday fell on a monday but the food and presentation was very good. i ordered a delicious martini called red dragon. return factor is high.

great place to relax and have some sushi at. you can either choose the sushi side only or sit at the tempanyaki bar and have a show put on for you. great staff great location which makes it a great time every visit. always are go to spot when craving sushi

"one of my favorite restaurants in chandler. the service is great, the servers are super friendly, and the food is amazing. i've been there quite a few times and have tried a lot of their menu. the teppanyaki is delicious! i highly suggest the shrimp, scallops and the fried rice.... everything was seasoned to perfection. their sushi is among the best i've had in az. my favorite is the kig roll. i will definitely be returning to rock lobster.",

"happy hour is amazing, food was great, and staff member had great attitudes. here is the big but the hostess, wasn't the mostest. my date and i showed up early to our reservation about 15 mins. she advised us to sit at the bra until our table was ready, and we waited for 30mins and we saw that other people were being seated. when my date addresses the issue, she was extremely rude and pointed to a table and slammed down our drinks. rock lobster needs to retrain her!!!",

"the sushi is absolutely amazing. every roll we had was great. the atmosphere is open and inviting. it's small but we got there at 6 pm and there were plenty of seats. the other reviews are right about the service. our waiter was hard to find and didn't seem to really be into us. the food though made up for the service.",
"one of my favorite sushi places around. they have daily specials as well as happy hour! there sushi tastes great and looks great. i also have never had a problem with any of the people serving me. the ambiance is very relaxing and the place is decorated very nicely, you could go dressed up or casual and not feel out of place. their prices are fair, and their portions are big. i would definitely recommend them to family and friends.",
"five stars for my man jose! best hibachi chef ever! hibachi is an entertaining show in itself, but jose made it even better. you can't help but smile and his laugh is contagious. he was great!! the food was delicious! and the staff was attentive and very polite. i was in town for work and will definitely come back when i'm in town again!",
"this is one of our regular spots for both teppan and sushi! rudy the chef is amazing, we love sitting at his teppan table. the habachi steak is marinaded and so tender. can't go wrong with the poppin roll either. can't wait to go back again."

the sushi here is very fresh. there are many unique rolls as well as the traditional rolls. some of our favorites are the summer roll and dragon. they have specials on different nights. there is both indoors and outdoor seating. the staff here is friendly and very professional. this is our number one sushi place! mary g

"didn't even get seated. was told there was no seating for 3 available at the bar ( at least 5 seats in a row open ) nor indoors. not anxious to eat sushi outside in 92f heat, so we left.",
"yuck! specialty rolls were definitely nothing special. tasted like a packaged california roll you buy in a grocery store. the $ 9 short ribs were cold and super salty. when i told the waiter all he said was \" sorry \" and walked off. maybe the teppanyaki is better but if you want sushi or hand rolls drive east 10 minutes to otaku!",
"bought 2 groupons. decided to try it out for lunch on a saturday. the menu was just okay. we're spoiled with the variety offered at our local san diego haunt. ordered 3 rolls... we never saw a piece of fish. in the middle of the rolls was a mushy substance which may have been pureed fish, not sure. very disappointed. also, they need to remove the nasty stained pillows from the booths. they were pretty disgusting. we will use our other groupon but after that we'll not return.",
"not a fan of the sushi here... it tasted pretty off! even as something as simple as a california roll was cut strangely and the quality of taste was strange ; the rice was gross and the fish on the other rolls just didn't taste fresh. i also got a roll that had baked scallops and \" potato strings \" on top and it was just a california roll with a little mayo and an entire bag of barbecue potato chips crunched on top. completely overwhelmed the flavor and tasted nasty. the waitress was okay but seemed really brisk and in a rush, even though no one else was in the restaurant. i would not recommend coming here for good, authentic sushi.",
"the worst sushi ever! none of my group finished there meal and the service was awful. tables on the patio were so tightly packed it was nearly impossible for someone to get out of there seat to use the restroom. high priced for what your receiving as far as service and quality of food. strongly recommend any other sushi bar in the area before coming here.",
"incompetent wait staff and unprofessional management never ever going back again. loved the place and this was my 5th visit. severely disappointed when calling the manager for being over charged and i had actually tipped more than 20 %, he was not accountable for his staff for overcharging me which i calculated the tip on. partied ways and rescinded the tip all together. the establishment lacked stewardship, accountability and facilitated fraud by overcharging me.",
"very disappointing sushi. the fish did not taste fresh, it had been previously frozen. was really hoping to find a good quality sushi restaurant but this is not the place. we won't be back.",
"i have been here three times now, never posted to give them the benefit of the doubt. service is painfully slow for tappan table side. waiter had too many tables to deliver quality service. at one point he walked away from our table in mid - sentence. i would not recommend this restaurant."

parallel to the restaurant sauce and a completely different world. i have picked up their over priced food and did not like the experience i had. they were rude and have many rules on how you can order there. their sushi pfft i think fryes or hate to say it winco has better sushi. not a very cute place considering the cute area it's in. not going back here.

"my wife and i celebrated our anniversary here and we loved it! have been meaning to reserve here for a few years now but was not able to. got a great romantic setting by the fireplace. the server asked us to wait at the bar while they cleared it up and it was well worth it. the food was delicious and the service was great. very attentive staff. we are definitely coming back for other occasions.",
"incredibly unique place to eat in az. the food is unbelievable, the service is great, and the ambiance has to be one of the best in the entire state. outside seating recommended. there is nothing like it. great music and vibe as well. in my opinion, this is one of the best places to wine and dine, especially for dates and anniversaries. dinner menu recommended over lunch.",
"go here sit down. tell the server if u have any allergies and what protein u don't eat and then let them plan ur dinner! and wine pairings with. best experience. the server brought out food that i would never have ordered before and everything was phenomenal!!!",
"i went to the house on january 2nd with my girlfriend. we shared the kale salad which is a must have! she had the scallops and i had the filet both wonderful. we both ha a couple cocktails off of their specialty menu, our server insisted we try the pimms mule. we tried the mule, and the green lantern. we both went with a second round, highly recommend the drinks. the service and ambiance were excellent! the owner even came by the table an introduced himself, he also bought us a round of the house made cinnamon everyone else seems to be writing about, it was awesome! we will be back soon!",
"my fiance and i came here for valentine's day dinner and it couldn't have been better. we had a great table on the beautiful patio. service was outstanding. attentive, kind, and fun. the food was incredible. we ordered appetizers, sides, and entrees, and all of it was delicious. be prepared to spend around $ 150 for a table of 2. if you can handle that, you'll be very happy you chose to come to the house brasserie.",
"we stopped by house brasserie for dinner during my sister's bachelorette in scottsdale. the restaurant decor is absolutely beautiful. the staff is friendly and the service was great. everything on the menu looked great - we asked our waiter for advice on what to order - and he raved about absolutely everything. we ended up trying : the brussel sprouts, the chicken meatballs and gnocchi, the lamb bolognese, the tomahawk pork chop, the skirt steak, and the filet. the food was delicious - well seasoned and flavored. would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the scottsdale area!",
"the house is just how it sounds. it is amazing that matt carter ( zinc bistro and mission ) continues to evolve. so comforting and service was amazinng, especially considering it has only been open a few weeks. king crab and smoked gouda fondue! roasted halibut! and the lamb bolognese was suprisinglyreally good, the lemon marscopone and mint worked fantastically! patio is amazing weather permitting.",
"went for dinner saturday night. sat on the patio. the atmosphere was definitely high end and romantic. we had the kale salad, duck confit meatballs and the seared scallops. and for dessert, the caramel upside down apple pie. it was all delicious. i will definitely go again and look forward to it."

really upscale food. if you're not interested in trying something new and different then i don't suggest it. however, i really do love the food. i like how its unique and different. the place itself i absolutely love. sitting outside in the courtyard is the way to go. it's been a while since i've been there but i will most definitely be going back soon enough!

great happy hour prices. love their food. the teppanyaki tables are always empty and just take up too much room in this small dining room. i have been here 20 plus times. the service is almost always good but there are a few wait staff that could do a better job.

"one of my favorite lunch places in the area. great lunch specials, i've enjoyed every type of bento box ( except salmon ) and the spicy tuna bowl. i even occasionally get a hamburger. of course i always start with a roll or two. my all time favorite is the blazing thunder and they frequently have special rolls dependent on the season. specials every day so it doesn't matter which day i go because i know i will get a bit of a discount. i've been a couple times to dinner and it is usually busy so i do stick to the quieter lunch hour to relax.",

"one of the more extensive happy hour offerings.... plenty of choices to make sushi and non - sushi lovers happy. everything we ordered was good quality and fresh tasting. the restaurant has a nice vibe and cool decor. parking can be a little tight if you arrive too late but had an overall good experience. this will be a regular stop on our happy hour circuit.",
"the sushi was flavorful and expertly prepared. there were rolls i've never seen before. my family and i enjoyed rock lobster greatly. it was a little pricy but it was worth it.",
"this place was pretty good! we did $ 30 of sushi for $ 15 dollars groupon but ended up spending a lot more than that. i guess that's the point. i thought the $ 27 for 21 sashimi deal was pretty good regardless. i could probably have taken down all that sashimi by myself, to be honest, but that's just me. the sashimi was good! not the best i've ever had but definitely good. the strawberry roll was very cool."

i follow rock lobster on instagram because their pictures and food look amazing. i've gone a handful of times, trying to give the place a good college try, but no matter how pretty the presentation, the place is really just mediocre. the service is unique and a bit awkward but the servers always have great drink recommendations. the cocktails are pretty good. lots of flavor. with all the specials constantly going on it also gave a hint of struggle instead of confidence.

"the house is just how it sounds. it is amazing that matt carter ( zinc bistro and mission ) continues to evolve. so comforting and service was amazinng, especially considering it has only been open a few weeks. king crab and smoked gouda fondue! roasted halibut! and the lamb bolognese was suprisinglyreally good, the lemon marscopone and mint worked fantastically! patio is amazing weather permitting.",
"my fiance and i came here for valentine's day dinner and it couldn't have been better. we had a great table on the beautiful patio. service was outstanding. attentive, kind, and fun. the food was incredible. we ordered appetizers, sides, and entrees, and all of it was delicious. be prepared to spend around $ 150 for a table of 2. if you can handle that, you'll be very happy you chose to come to the house brasserie.",
"i have been to house many times for dinner and drinks and it is outstanding to say the least. my wife and i wanted to have a small reception for our friends and family in a unique outdoor setting. house was the perfect place. i have been in the bar / restaurant business for over 15 years and this was the easiest planning i have ever done. service was a + and chef matt carters food was outstanding. this is a perfect place to go for a romantic dinner, business lunch, sat / sun brunch, or hold a small reception / shower / reunion on their patio. what a great spot all around. if you haven't tried house you are really missing out.",
"my wife and i celebrated our anniversary here and we loved it! have been meaning to reserve here for a few years now but was not able to. got a great romantic setting by the fireplace. the server asked us to wait at the bar while they cleared it up and it was well worth it. the food was delicious and the service was great. very attentive staff. we are definitely coming back for other occasions.",
"cool little spot in old town scottsdale. it is in an old house. interesting layout for the restaurant as well as the bar. i have been here a few times for drinks and appetizers as well as dinner. last time i went i had the 10 oz filet and apps and all were delicious. filet was cooked perfectly a slight crisp on the outside and nice red pink interior. drinks are strong bartender is on the ball. wait staff is friendly and there to help with any questions on the menu. if you've never been i would suggest checking it out sometime soon. definitely will be going back",
"this restaurant find made our day. we just walked in to this appealing looking restaurant and found the best of surprises. from the beginning, the service couldn't have been better, hostess, waiter, busboys. then the food : kale salad, brussels sprout salad, smoked burrata, lamb pasta, and scallops. the burrata was the only thing that seemed as if something was missing. not much smoky flavor, and without that the cheese was just cheese. but the other dishes were great, especially the scallops, not something i expected to find and enjoy so much in the middle of the desert. overall, a great experience, great food and great service. would recommend this place to everyone.",
"went for dinner saturday night. sat on the patio. the atmosphere was definitely high end and romantic. we had the kale salad, duck confit meatballs and the seared scallops. and for dessert, the caramel upside down apple pie. it was all delicious. i will definitely go again and look forward to it.",
"always great service and delicious food! the bartenders here are true mixologists! heather and tommy are both incredible servers, knowledgable of the cocktail, wine and food menus. they will never hesitate to acquiesce any request, and they are sincerely two of the funniest servers that i have ever met. i enjoy every time i come to the house and they take care of me! fyi - steak tartare, foie gras, and scallops are incredible."

incredibly unique place to eat in az. the food is unbelievable, the service is great, and the ambiance has to be one of the best in the entire state. outside seating recommended. there is nothing like it. great music and vibe as well. in my opinion, this is one of the best places to wine and dine, especially for dates and anniversaries. dinner menu recommended over lunch.

"the atmosphere is nice. the waiter was inattentive. after we finished our dinner he wandered off and made himself scarce for about 15 minutes - i had to ask the bus girl to get our check. the food was just ok - overpriced - this place is located in ocotillo and quite a drive. i would not go back.",
"we visited this place just after christmas for a snack. the owner / bartender was very friendly and we ordered moscow mules. they were good. service was a little slow and the sushi was ok. to be fair, we are sushi purists, so rolls are really not our thing, we like fresh with veggies, and non standard creations. i would not say it was bad, but overall ok.",
"my husband and i came here on a thursday, did not knock our socks off. i had chicken yakisoba which i loveeee really good yakisoba and my husband had sushi which he loveeees. nothing particularly wrong with the food just did not knock our socks off, there was no \" mmm this is good \" nope, none of that, and top that off with really bad service.",
"the food here was great ; until they forgot my sushi. i was very patient with the fact that i was told by the server that there was a back order on sushi. 20 - 30 minutes later, i was told it was either forgotten or served to the wrong table. don't get me wrong, i like the food, but the sole fact that they forgot and then gave me excuses makes me not want to come back here again, if they forget orders so easily and don't offer any compensation for my wasted time.",
"we came in for teppanyaki on a saturday night and there was no wait, not usually a good sign. service was great but the food not so much. the soup was terrible and tasted like it had dehydrated mushrooms rather than fresh. the sauces that come with your meal were awesome but they come in handy since most of the food was very bland. recommend for happy hour or sushi but not full priced dinner.",
"i gave it 2 stars overall because the food wasn't to bad honestly it was pretty good, but the place was not clean they made an attempt to make it look cool but it isn't. worse part is they give very small portions for a very large price teppan or hibachi type restaurant are known for there portions this place gives you like kid size portions at the same price go to benihana you'll be out the same money but get more.",
"expected good food and service based on what i read. they must have had a bad day or something. tempura was okay. but the rest not so good. i sent two dishes back full and no one came to talk to me. the need dish had 7 - 10 carrots stuck together and was way overdressed. and the shrimp role had nori that was inedible. also note that groupon and happy hour cannot be mixed.",
"when we arrived to eat here for lunch, it smelled like sewage in the restaurant. the table was sticky, and i think the rag they used to wipe it off was dirty. the sushi was ok, but i've had much better."
] |
bought the groupon and decided to try the place out as my husband and i are always looking for new sushi spots. ultimately disappointing. the service was slow and not very attentive even though we came when it was almost empty. then we ordered a variety of starters and rolls. the best thing we tried were the gyoza. they were pretty tasty but everything else was just ok. even with the groupon discount i felt like it was overpriced and i paid too much for what we received.

"this is 3. 5. there are some things i liked about it but there were also some things that i did not care for. the place is pretty loud and kind of cramped. the decor was kind of interesting i like the lights. it took a while for them to bring us our drinks. the timing of the rest of the meal seemed really off. they brought my roll before they brought the appetizer. the food was pretty good, but not outstanding. i guess it is all right if you live in south chandler and there's not other sushi places around, but i can think of some others that i would be willing to drive farther to go to.",
"sushi in the desert is tough, i get that, so i am being generous. cool ambiance, friendly staff and creative rolls are a plus. the quality of the fish is not very good though. i have not tried the tepenyaki so that may be better.",
"i follow rock lobster on instagram because their pictures and food look amazing. i've gone a handful of times, trying to give the place a good college try, but no matter how pretty the presentation, the place is really just mediocre. the service is unique and a bit awkward but the servers always have great drink recommendations. the cocktails are pretty good. lots of flavor. with all the specials constantly going on it also gave a hint of struggle instead of confidence.",
"had the teppanyaki this time and it was better but the service here is just so damn sterile!! great people make great restaurants. this place needs to work on that a bit.",
"love the happy hour specials and the firestone walker ipa on draft. this place has really cool patio seating as well!",
"tried the lunch special sashimi with spicy tuna hand roll and miso. i liked the miso mix. the pieces were decent side. for 3 pieces of tun, salmon, yellowtail and roll for 13 bucks or whatever is not a bad deal. going to try for a happy hour sometime but not sure.",
"great happy hour prices. love their food. the teppanyaki tables are always empty and just take up too much room in this small dining room. i have been here 20 plus times. the service is almost always good but there are a few wait staff that could do a better job.",
"disappointed. i decided to try this place due to a special on their website for thursday's - beat the heat... or something like that where you get discounts based on how high the temp was that day. when i arrived, i was told they no longer are doing that special. it's still on the website. i think it was a little deceiving."
] |
sushi is very fresh. i have been here several times for lunch and also dinner when it was the sushi room. if you get to sit at the bar you get great service. however sit outside on a nice day and you're lucky if you get water. they have now added a teppan table which may bring a more clientele not just into sushi. service needs to get better the girls are cute, just not servers.

"we came in with the family and started with the garlic edamame. it was an amazing combination of garlic and sea salt. we then ordered the vegas roll and special ca roll. kids loved the \" sprinkles \" on the ca roll. the vegas roll was slightly different then we're use to, the fry it and wrap it in rice. it was amazing. we will definitely be back",
"fresh sushi!!! shrimp tempura is awesome. try their specialty rolls. we almost passed up spicy chicken lettuce wraps because we thought \" we don't need an appetizer \". they were better than pei wei!! next visit, coconut shrimp! our server was ashley and she was terrific! a hidden gem.",
"super friendly, and fun staff!! we came in on sunday, and it was happy hour all day!! the music playlist was awesome, and the decor and vibe was even better!! i haven't had sushi that great in a while!! i'm stoked that we have found a new place to call our favorite sushi spot!",
"we went to rock lobster after a bad experience trying to dine at another local teppanyaki restaurant that same night ( we had to walk out ). this was a night and day difference. we arrived at 8pm during their \" power hours \" in which certain dished are discounted. we had a really great teppanyaki experience with chef george. his presentation was really fun and we enjoyed great conversation with him as well. the food was really great as well - we were a party of 3 and tried the chicken, shrimp, and steak. the sangria was also very good. thank you for a great experience!",
"first time here after getting up and leaving the table without ordering at hon machi sushi ( that review later ). the sushi room is now rock lobster, same restaurant, new name. we went on sunday, which happened to be happy hour. it included rolls, drinks, appetizers. presentation of sushi rolls was excellent, food was fantastic, and service was great. atmosphere was very nice! i will be coming back!",
"i really don't understand the bad reviews, my boyfriend and i went in and the food was amazing and came out super fast, our server shay, was amazing also! such a sweetheart and helped us pick new things! the other servers checked up on us whenever they had a free second! there was nothing to complain about! we will be back when we are back on this side of town! thank you rock lobster!",
"excellent! great ambiance, great food. i recommend the surf n turf roll! the teppanyaki table was great! ny strip was cooked to perfection.",
"great sushi, and it was very fresh fish. ben did a great job, and the price was fair. i'm a sushi snob that has been constantly let down by other \" sushi \" restarants in the southwest, but i was impressed here and will be coming back. i was looking at some of the other reviews that mention cleanliness, i didn't see any issues, it looked clean to me and i sit at the bar to look at the fish they use."

hands down the best eel nigiri i've ever eaten, and i love japanese food and order the eel nigiri pretty much anytime i visit a new japanese restaurant. their salmon was very smooth in both the nigir and roll version, and they have some creative rolls too! the place has a nice atmosphere, friendly servers, and their tables are covered in sushi trivia to entertain your party and shorten your wait. definitely check this place out if you're near!

"mmmm mmm chicken wings! probably some of the best wings i've ever had ; so flavorful, so delicious. ed's is a good low - key hangout ; the perfect place to kill that midweek mundanity ( if that's even a word! ) but you know exactly what i mean. on a wednesday evening, when you're getting out of work, a chilled beer, some wings or a burger, and some music trivia in a friendly, lively environment is just what you need to lift your spirits... and that's exactly what you'll find at ed's!",
"love this spot as long as you come before 11pm as their full menu is on point. the staff is friendly and attentive. just wished they would have not run out of a couple of menu items, but the suggestions were outstanding. we will definitely visit often.",
"eds is a solid place to go to eat and drink. i went for trivia night and it was a total blast. great drink specials and the quesadillas are bomb. the service is kind of slow though. i will be back to eds again for trivia and the awesome quesadillas!",
"i really enjoyed ed's tavern. the manager made sure to accommodate me and my friends who were all vegetarian for a get - together that we had. it was such a fun atmosphere and the waitress, rachel, was well versed in the menu and quite charming. thanks ed's tavern for a great time!",
"i really like ed's. they have great bar food and awesome drink specials. i love being able to sit in a booth and relax or if i am in a social mood grab one of the high top tables. they have pool tables and often have live music. when they do its always been great!",
"perfect watering hole. great food and drinks... always a good spot to start, end or spend an evening.",
"great neighborhood bar! definitely nothing fancy, but a great dive bar. i'm not sure id eat here, but they have great local beers and a decent liquor section. i look forward to the new patio!",
"best place for sunday football in charlotte. i love the atmosphere here and they have $ 2 beers. the food here is really lacking compared to other bars and the vibes of this place makes up for it. overall i love this place during nfl season."

complete turn around at ed's with a huge new outdoor deck to boot. food and service is consistently very good whether your outside, or inside at the bar or a table. they have at least 30 craft drafts and at least 15 flat screens inside. hope they plan to out some tvs out on the new deck for football.

"this is a total sports bar. my boyfriend and i met up with another couple here for drinks, and the place was ridiculously packed. but after a while, the crowd dispersed a bit and was much more manageable. at that point, we were easily able to find a table and chill out. once at the table, we never had a server come by, so it might be that it's all bar service on the weekend. they have a few pool tables, which is cool. also, you have your typical beer list, making this a good standby for a lowkey night.",
"great choices for breakfast, lunch or dinner. the staff is friendly and helpful. good beer choices. some really great weekly specials. breakfast for me is western omelette and bacon. i wish you got a little more bacon for the price. great sandwiches for lunch. the soup is always tasty. enjoy!",
"love eds. great vibe, above average food and decent beer specials. the ed's amber is always a steal at $ 2. come for trivia wednesday or thursday. the only bad thing is the lack of consistency of the wait staff. 80 % of the time theyre great. the other 20 % you never see your waitress. bottom line, go to eds ( had to give $ $ cause you dont go to eds and not drink )",
"great place for drinks and fun! they have a nice patio out back and seating outfront, large on the inside. they have * excellent * drink specials and a good amount of tvs to watch the games. they have pool, corn hole, skee ball, basketball and a few other games, also have a checkers bar so you can sit drink and play. their food is decent, i usually stick to burgers / wings.",

"ed's tavern is your typical bar. the highlights of the bar was the live band. also they have several game areas as well ample tvs to watch any sporting event your heart desires. the food is bar food so don't go expecting something that is going to knock your socks off. the bar was very busy and our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed. we often had to stop her as she walked past our table to place our order. however, when we did have her attention she was awesome. this place is a good way to spend some time watching the game and drinking beer. eat before you come though.",
"went here on thursday for trivia night. this place has a laid back vibe and was pretty crowded on trivia night. i only tried the hummus plate but it was not bad. all the food looked like good bar food. they have a lot of local beers as well as specials, friendly service too. part of an episode of homeland was also filmed here too so that was pretty neat! update : have been multiple times since and have tried many of their appetizers and i have not been disappointed. if friend pickles are your thing you should get some here",

a real dive bar in the heart of rich people. you might recognize it from homeland. brody tells mike it's ok to give his wife the business. it has the widest bar i have ever seen it's about 3 feet. good beer selection with plenty of local nc beers. good food i like the wings and the backyard burger. the waitstaff is nice and the keep tabs on you which is big for me. we don't come here as much as i would like hopefully that will change!

"went for dinner. split the tofu tappan which was enough food for both. being a vegetarian it was nice how cautious they were about making good sure my met my needs. the meal came with soup and shrimp. obviously i didn't have the shrimp and i was expecting the miso soup, however i was bummed when i realized this soup contained fish although it is a soy broth. but they knew that there was fish, so they didn't serve it to me. i give them respect for doing so. i was really impressed with the customer service at this restaurant. they are very accommodating and gracious.",

"good sushi, had three 4 different rolls. two regular two specialty. try the chimichanga roll! some half price for happy hour. wife had korean short rib bowl. tasty but beef was a little chewy. daughter had the terriaki plate. big serving with veggies and rice. nice meal. overall nice experience, open patio.",
"sushi was very fresh tasting, nice and buttery as well. i got sushi and sashimi and everything was top notch quality. i got tuna, sweet shrimp, salmon and yellow tail. the rice was perfectly cooked with a tiny bit of stickiness. i would rank this sushi place as one of my favorites. i wasn't too thrilled at the special rolls, being that i am not a fan of cream cheese and crab stick, but the actual sushi itself along with the service was great.",
"groupon purchased. went during happy hour / prices comparable to groupon. duh. first time here. the popper roll was amazing. chimichanga roll had soggy rice, ugh. sent it back and got the roll with beef it was just ok, again soggy rice. i didn't try the teppanyaki but it looked good. beautiful location and restaurant. the sushi rice needs help.",
"this is a great place. they have a fantastic variety of rolls that provide options for any sushi lover. the poppin roll is always a favorite, and if you like a little spice to your sushi, i recommend the k. i. g. they offer great deals for happy hour, and have great daily specials. sunday being my favorite for all day happy hour.",
"finally \" rolled \" through here with my mom! what an awesome place for her to work near. also, there's a groupon for this place up right now. we got the typical spicy tuna and yellow tail, but the k. i. g roll was outstanding as well as the spicy scallops! service was phenomenal. the drinks looked really good but we had to jet. we will definitely be back.",
"incredible food and service. the happy hour specials are so worth it. the sushi was fresh. the presentation was amazing. service was prompt and friendly. all around a great experience for us. the flavors were very good and when we had questions about certain fish they brought out a sample for us to try. we really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and would highly recommend this place to anyone in the chandler area."

this place is awesome. the food was on point and i loved the vibe of the place. we sat outside and the weather was beautiful and the staff was excellent. the only bad thing is that if you sit outside you can't order steaks. you can only order at the tables inside because they cook them right in front of you.

"absolutely love that we found this place! we have been searching for our sushi spot because we had the best place back in utah! i have yet to find a place that even compares to our go to in utah, until now! the restaurant is really cool and trendy. the food is amazing! i am kind of a sushi snob and was super impressed by their selection. i look for sushi that holds flavor all on it's own without having to use soy sauce, wasabi or ginger and they mastered that. i also am very big on presentation and the quality of the roll itself and they nailed it here too! worth checking out!",
"this is my first time coming to rock lobster and i am highly impressed. first of all they have some great specials ( all rolls were half off when i came in ). i wasn't sure what to order and the waiter recommended the poppin roll. i cannot say how amazing this is! it said jalapeno and i'm not a huge fan but the flavor was perfect. definitely recommend!",
"this place is awesome! the vibe is so chill and relaxing and both the times i have went, my waiters were very polite and seemed like high quality people. the food is delicious! they have killer deals too! if you register on their website you get a free $ 30 dollar meal during your birthday month, and on sundays it's happy hour all day, which means $ 5 dollar sushi rolls!!! this is my new go to place.",
"excellent teppan and sushi place. the chef was hilarious and definitely made it worthwhile. the shrimp and steak are very good. i got adventurous and tried the calamari, but it was bland - maybe that's what it tastes like - i had never tried it before. the sushi rolls are very tasty - i especially like the boom boom roll and the chimichanga roll, but several others i've tried are very good too. if you can catch one of their living social deals for the teppan dinner for 2 it is a great deal. the service we have received has been good. we'll definitely be back soon.",

one of my favorite sushi places around. they have daily specials as well as happy hour! there sushi tastes great and looks great. i also have never had a problem with any of the people serving me. the ambiance is very relaxing and the place is decorated very nicely, you could go dressed up or casual and not feel out of place. their prices are fair, and their portions are big. i would definitely recommend them to family and friends.

"we went to check this place out on a groupon. the food was delicious! we sat around a teppanyaki table and it was right at the entrance. felt awkward and cramped. the chef was pretty good. the server was not super friendly. i'd probably choose benihana over this place for the money and service.",
"good sushi, had three 4 different rolls. two regular two specialty. try the chimichanga roll! some half price for happy hour. wife had korean short rib bowl. tasty but beef was a little chewy. daughter had the terriaki plate. big serving with veggies and rice. nice meal. overall nice experience, open patio.",
"good sushi, some of our favorite rolls in the valley. the patio is great 8 months out of the year. service is usually pretty good. had an issue tonight that was my fault ( i accidentally ordered the wrong roll ) which the server handled well but the expediter was kind of rude about. he needs to remember that it's all about service! we'll be back though!",
"i loved the sushi here! i will definitely make this a regular place i go to. the sushi was fresh and we'll priced. i went during happy hour for half priced sushi, the variety was generous. i would recommend going here for lunch or dinner if you like sushi.",
"rock lobster has good sushi for a reasonable price and a nice ambience to match. my favorite roll by far was the poppin roll and i ended up ordering two of them. it was way too much food though and i'll pace myself better the next time i visit. the nigiri was well made and the fish quite fresh. no complaints. i'd give 5 - stars if the rice was a bit warmer.",
"awesome happy hour specials! tried something completely different, the chimichunga roll - soo tasty! the coconut shrimp was practically a desert with the sweet coconut sauce. service was slow but the sushi was delish. i also used a groupon which helped out bc it is a little pricy if you didn't go during happy hour",
"this place was pretty good! we did $ 30 of sushi for $ 15 dollars groupon but ended up spending a lot more than that. i guess that's the point. i thought the $ 27 for 21 sashimi deal was pretty good regardless. i could probably have taken down all that sashimi by myself, to be honest, but that's just me. the sashimi was good! not the best i've ever had but definitely good. the strawberry roll was very cool."

sushi is good but i think it was that good enough to be back. the sushi did taste a little dry and not fresh as i would of like it to be. the appetizer portions are very small in comparison to the price. service is excellent! our waiter was super friendly made great recommendations and made us feel very welcomed. i would only come back here for happy hour if anything.

"had a slow leak in my tire for a couple of months. finally stopped in to see if i could get it repaired. absolutely excellent service both at front end and on the repair side. they brought me back to show me the small repair, told me my options & had me out the door with a repaired tire very soon after!!! excellent experience, very honest shop with great integrity!",
"got my oil change there. they did excellent job. real friendly, good service and great price. i'll recommend to all my family and friends.",
"i came in about 15 minutes from closing, rushing from work. i ordered a tire from tirebuyer. com and had it delivered here for install. ryan and will were there pretty much cleaned, closed, and ready to go! i hesitated on even asking if they would still install because they were pretty much closed, but there was no hesitation in their answer! my install was done in 15 minutes, literally. thank you for an awesome experience and not making me ride around on a donut for another day.",
"noticed a screw in my tire and went in to their shop to get it fixed. was thoroughly impressed with the service and how quickly they got us in & out. vaughn has made a good impression with us and we will definately use them again.",
"i had a screw in my tire and i popped over to this tire works by my house and these guys are the best. they were friendly, helpful, and fast. they patched up my tire and i was sent on my way. i was shocked how fast it was done. thank you for making my travel safe.",
"i came in to have a tire patched which had a screw in it and had a coupon so it was free. josh was the associate i initially dealt with and he was very professional. they were very busy on a saturday at 4pm but they squeezed me in even though i didn't have an appointment. not only did they fix the tire but they put air in all the others including the spare, checked the brake pads which were fine, and found an oil leak which they cleaned up and fixed at no cost. they are more knowledgeable than my dealer and would be happy to refer them to my friends & family.",
"so quick and customer service was awesome! repaired my tire in no time! i will never go back to jiffy lube now",
"called them just to see their prices, and they gave me a better deal than every other place i had called. so brought my car in that day 2 hours before they closed, and they even had to transfer the tires from another store and had it done same day i want to say within an hour and a half. thank you to frank, and the staff. really nice people."
] |
very pleased with service and prices. i spoke to mark on the telephone to get a quote for service and when i came in the price was even a bit lower. never a short wait when you get 4 new tires, but the facility is clean with a tv. i will be back for sure.

"one of my favorite restaurants in chandler. the service is great, the servers are super friendly, and the food is amazing. i've been there quite a few times and have tried a lot of their menu. the teppanyaki is delicious! i highly suggest the shrimp, scallops and the fried rice.... everything was seasoned to perfection. their sushi is among the best i've had in az. my favorite is the kig roll. i will definitely be returning to rock lobster.",
"my husband and i have been going to rock lobster since it was the sushi room. heather the manager is amazing and treats all the customers so well. she always remembers my wine choice and my husband's soda ( he's a ginger beer guy! ). the service and food is always consistent, fresh and delivered to perfection. i would highly recommend this restaurant. heather and the team will take exceptional care of you.",
"excellent lunch with three others, today. very good chicken katsu... very crisp, not at all oily, moist chicken breast. the sushi lunch # 1 had good sized portions of shrimp, tuna, and salmon nigiri, with an excellent california roll. the chicken teriyaki had moist grilled chicken in a tangy teriyaki sauce. the mochi with green tea ice cream ( green tea ice cream in a mochi ball ) was a hit, too! very quick and professional service on a quiet lunch hour. recommended!",
"we came here for the first time today. we happened to come at happy hour so we got 4 rolls, 2 appetizers, a beer, ice tea and a soda for $ 68. service was fast. we loved the poppin roll and the chimichanga roll. i think we will be back. i hear mondays the rolls are all half price. awesome place go if you are over here.",
"best sushi i've had yet in az! name has changed to rock lobster to include the teppanyaki tables. the teppan chef is hilarious and food was excellent : must try the sea bass or fillet. sushi is fresh and presented with superb creativity ( my favorite is the lollipop ). service was friendly and efficient. our waitress recommended a sake, i believe the murai, and it was paired perfectly with our meal. nice spot for a group of friends or a date. i would bring my family as well ; although, if my grandmother were to join i may stick to lunch as the dinner vibe is a tansy more \" hip. \" i am excited to sit on the patio once the weather is more inviting.",
"fantastic food and even greater atmosphere. we had a delicious celebratory meal here and i would absolutely come back. the food was good but the chef's personality and talents absolutely raised this meal to the next level. so thank you george for letting us have such a great time.",
"we had a nice sushi dinner here last night. great variety of rolls and delicious tempura ice cream dessert ( perfect to split ). although the patio is gorgeous for our amazing weather in az the manage or owner should be aware of how dirty the white walls are. our booth looked like someone has a field day with soy sauce splattered all over the wall. details like this shouldn't be missed at the end of every shift. a bucket of hot water and bleach and it will come off. i messaged the business i hope they clean up the patio.",
"the sushi here is very fresh. there are many unique rolls as well as the traditional rolls. some of our favorites are the summer roll and dragon. they have specials on different nights. there is both indoors and outdoor seating. the staff here is friendly and very professional. this is our number one sushi place! mary g"

my wife and i have been going here since the grand opening. dan and his crew are very friendly, professional and the food is off the hook. if you want to enjoy outstanding service, delicious food with a fun atmosphere then look no further. i highly recommend this restaurant to all of my friends and family.

"probably one of the fastest and best experiences i have ever had at a car dealership. my husband and i went in with the idea of what we wanted to buy and a vehicle to trade in. we were not very optimistic but it all worked out in the end. we drove off with a beautiful new vehicle with all of the bells and whistles. definitely going to be in this car for many years to come making memories with our kids. anthony was our sale representative and he was very helpful and nice. i would highly recommend toyota of surprise!",
"had a fantastic car buying experience at this toyota dealership. after a horrible experience several years ago at a different dealership i was nervous to go the dealership route but due to a time crunch i had to. and boy am i glad i did. chris epley saw us through nearly the whole process - from finding the car we wanted online to following us out the gate so he could lock it after our purchase ( we got there late and didn't leave until nearly 11 ). we never felt rushed or pressured. chris was very open about the process and answered my 100's of questions. i would recommend this dealership and chris wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle. thanks chris!!",
"i can't express enough how awesome this dealership is. hands down the best experience i've ever had with any dealership. no pressure whatsoever we even did numbers prior to our credit being ran. we were not ripped off one bit even when we got home and have gone over everything we actually purchased a vehicle under kelley blue book. and they actually give us kelley blue book value of our trade it. i can't express enough how happy i am with this dealership by far the best experience we've ever had in our entire life. we work with preston and he was amazing. if you're looking for a vehicle i highly recommend this dealership.......",
"i worked with graham faria at toyota today. he was extremely friendly and efficient. he got everything done in a timely manner and had everything ready for me when i came in. he had me meet with the gm who got involved with my trade in and i thought that was very professional. totally going to recommend this place to anyone looking for a new toyota.",
"one of the best experiences i have ever had buying a car. we have been looking for the last week and we were getting the run around at most other dealers. we drove the car we wanted to see. we came inside and within 10 minutes, they had our trade appraisal right where we wanted it, and they even discounted the price of the new car even more. it was a pleasant surprise that we didn't have to dicker at all and agreed to the deal. we couldn't be happier. definitely recommend toyota of surprise to anyone looking for a new or used car. my salesman austin tafoya was incredible and very easy to work with.",
"i have never been to such a friendly and happy dealership. anthony ewing scoured the computer looking for the 4runner we wanted and even came in on his day off to make sure we got the car we wanted. the price was fair right from the start without haggling. everyone was wonderful to deal with from the sales manager to the finance manager. highly recommend surprise toyota. and what a surprise to find such a wonderful dealership!",
"i wanted to take a minute to thank this dealership! i have a 2014 toyota tundra. i was out of warranty by about 3 weeks. the blower motor in my air conditioning unit was malfunctioning. the service manager cory said he would honor the warranty since it was so close even though i was past date! this is truly exceptional business. this is the fifth toyota truck that i've owned, and the next time i am in the market for a new or used vehicle this dealership will be my first stop. i have been to this dealership before for service and have had nothing but positive interactions with the business and the employees. they have earned my business for life. thank you cory!!",
"working with angie at surprise toyota was a great experience! everyone at the dealership is friendly and helpful but angie went above and beyond to meet all our needs. my husband and i are usually weary of working with car salespeople since they can often be pushy. angie made us feel comfortable throughout the entire experience with no pressure. she wasn't afraid to admit if she didn't know something and she did not hesitate to find out the correct answer. she was patient with our indecisiveness and listened to all of our picky desires. she found us the perfect vehicle at a great price. i would highly recommend surprise toyota - ask for angie!"

what a nice experience. we have been looking for a used tacoma for a long time and finally found the one we were willing to purchase. toyota of surprise staff were pleasant to work with from start to finish. no games or pressure to buy anything we didn't want or need. i love the truck and am very satisfied. i hope our service experiences will be as pleasant as the purchase.

i had trouble with my car called and asked if i could bring car in next day and if they could get me over to banner del e webb by 9am. i explained that my mother was there quite ill and i needed to be there for a doctor consultation. the woman i talked with was abrupt and more or less told me that they'll get me there when they can get me there. so i went to firestone and they cheerily handle my problem.

"we discovered this one after shopping the west elm, and stopped in for a snack, had the meatballs, which were tasty, and served with polenta, which we liked, decided to come back and try the happy hour, had their burger, really good, shrimp cocktail, not that interesting, more meatballs, still liked them, and the service was efficient if not overly warm, the place looks like an italian version of the cheesecake factory, all big and fancy and chainlike, but the food is definately pretty good, so we ll go back and try dinner soon,",
"love the decor in this restaurant - it makes it seem very upscale and authentic to european cuisine. however, the prices are too steep and portions are too small ( compared with the nearby maggiano's ). the service is nice and the complimentary bread has some variety, which makes it quite interesting. here are some dishes we've tried : - pasta brio : the most unique of the bunch & quite tasty - shrimp & lobster fettuccine : rich sauce, would've liked more seafood though - campanelle carbonara : slightly disappointing and very run - of - the - mill flavor",
"my friends and i have been coming almost every wednesdays for months. we come during happy hour and sit on the patio. usually, the host is very helpful and we are sat right away. the happy hour prices are very nice, their tomato mozzarella salad is awesome! that's what i get all the time. however, we don't come here for the service, that's for sure, to be honest, it is quite horrible. which is the reason why i only put 4 stars. i came here for dinner a few times as well, their pasta are delicious!",
"i had a really good experience here at brio ; the food was warm and good.. the dessert was delicious, but the menu isn't anything really special. they are just regular, run of the mill items. it's clean, the waiters are nice and it's not very crowded! it's in a pretty cute area that you can spot it from the street. my opinion is that the one thing that stands out at brio is the steak salad and the alcoholic beverages. those are my go - to favorites!",
"i give two stars strictly because the customer service was terrible, i guess we came late and agitated our server, but who knows. the food was very good i had a flatbread that was excellent and the carpaccio was also good and huge. the mall that brio is located in could really use a jolt of electricity, but that seems to be all too familiar these days with the funky economy.",
"had dinner, lunch and brunch here many times. food is always good, servers are great and there are no surprises. i've also been to parties there and the restaurant is always accommodating in the back room.",
"the name is more marketing than a showcase of authentic tuscan cuisine but the menu is full of items that are tasty to the american palate. attentive service, serviceable ambiance, and a menu that probably has 20 dishes i'd like to try. they also have a great \" light \" menu for those of us paying'lip service'to diets.",
"the originality of the dishes are platitudinous however there was some fresh and delicious qualities. the bruschetta flight was decent ( every place feels the need to put bruschetta on something that has the texture of a stale pretzel but its so much better on a piece of lightly toasted bread like sourdough ) and the risotto had good flavor but the shrimp inside the dish were puny. solid wine list, good happy hour, plus good service would bring me back for a snack and a drink... i would probably skip dinner though and just patron the happy hour."
] |
i met a friend here for lunch, and we ordered the soup and salad, the bistecca salad, and minestrone soup, really good price, and the salad was chilled, it was delicious, the soup was pretty good too, i think i like olive garden's minestrone better, my girlfriend says their happy hour is really great also!

this is the only glass company i will use or refer period. over the years they have taken care of a couple of chips as well as three full glass replacements. always on time, always courteous techs and have always taken care of the claim with the insurance company. i can't recommend them enough especially when you consider they are a locally owned company who's owners are active in our community.

"reliable glass is simply the best. their technicians are employees so they're not trying to rush through the job like other auto glass companies that have contractors working on commission. also their technicians dress and act professionally, and everyone you speak with is customer focused, which my wife especially appreciates. she goes through about a windshield a year here in az. if professionalism and getting it done right matters, reliable glass is your only choice. and besides all that, they're an arizona company - buy local!",

"this is the second time i used reliable glass in the last 18 months and can honestly say i have been so impressed with the service. they fixed my shattered sunroof and then my front windshield. they are kind, knowledgeable and get the job done fast - ensuring to contact my insurance company while i'm on the phone with them. i used yelp reviews to make my initial decision to use them for the sunroof and they were spot on. i'll continue to use and recommend reliable glass as needed in the future."

i needed my windshield replaced on short notice before a road trip. after calling the company my insurance recommended and getting rudeness and unavailability i called reliable. the kindest customer service reps and they made it happen so i could have a new windshield before our family trip. the repair guy called in the am and told us what time he was coming and actually showed up at that time thank you so much!

"went here for lunch today and it was good! the sour dough bread they give you prior to your meal is phenomenal! i ordered the campanelle carbonara and it was delish! enough to share, especially if you order it for lunch. the campanelle carbonara had chicken, crispy bacon and spinach in it, yummy! the only thing i would change on my end was the friend who i had lunch with, that's about all. : )",
"i love going to this place. i haven't had anything here that i didn't like. their customer service on the other hand is a hit and miss : ( however, their food speaks for itself so it hasn't dampened my opinion of this place. i love their steak salad. it's very, very tasty. just order the dressing on the side though. it's over powering if you let them mix it in, at least in my humble opinion.",
"first time eating at brio. a girlfriend invited me to lunch, great atmosphere, great menu choices and the food was delicious!! i tried the brio salad and added chicken, the spices were perfect and the chicken was a good size portion and very moist! our server was terrific, prompt, attentive and nice, her name was kim! i will be going back!"

this can be a great restaurant if you order right. i previewed the menu and reviews first and had the shrimp and eggplant appetizer as my meal. it's heavy, but oh so good! i'm kind of a vegetarian except i won't give up seafood. and, i love eggplant so this was perfect for me.

"i ate here for the first time today, i had some carne asada and carnitas tacos. they were probably the best tacos i've ever had. the rice and beans on the side were also really good. cheap prices and great friendly service. i have a feeling i will become a regular at this place! can't wait to try the rest of the menu.",
"i had taquitos jalisco cater for a company lunch and the food and preparation of all the sides including tortillas, salsa, onions and cilantro were perfect. the food was delicious. we had carne asada and al pastor and the flavor was on point. the beans tasted amazing and worked well on the side. i highly recommend visiting this place and the staff makes the experience just that much better. thank you!",
"enjoyed our meal here! had the enchilada plate, rolled taco combo & carne asada burrito ( w / enchilada sauce ) combo. all our meals were served with rice and beans. clean restaurant, older tables & chairs. salsa squeeze bottles hot & mild at every table. service was friendly and food arrived in a timely manor. authentic & delicious. generous portions. meals are accompanied by a small plate of fresh sliced lime wedges.",
"great authentic mexican food! jalisco style. i had the tacos with rice and beans. 2 pastor tacos and 1 carne asada. i liked the carne asada better but both were very good. they serve both salsa verde and salas rojo. very reasonable prices... wish this place was close to home!!",
"the carne asada burrito was probably the best burrito i've ever had. no need for sauced or anything! staff was extremely helpful, courteous, and happy. definitely recommend giving this place a try!",
"this is a rough looking little strip mall place. the kind of place you see all over the valley. if you want atmosphere look elsewhere. we tried a few different things - - tacos, torta and assorted other things. the food was all pretty good - - not the best in the world, but good. tacos are a $ 1 each. prices were awesome and the service was pretty good also. there's not too much else to say about it.",
"i moved to east mesa a year ago from woodland ca. out there almost every corner has a taco truck that had great tacos for $ 1 a piece. i had searched in vain for a place out here that sold authentic'street tacos '. back in may i was getting the windows in my car tinted at a place across the street and saw the sign. i asked the guy doing the windows if they were good, he said \" yeah, pretty good \" so i came across the street and walked into heaven. as authentic as you can get. the kind of food that is real mexican. i come here at least 3 - 4 times a month for lunch, and always leave a happy man.",
"tacos here were really good. i tried the pastor and the lengua and was very happy. will definitely eat here again when i'm in the east mesa area."

unbelievably good taquitos and dirt cheap. good range of meats, tongue, pastor etc and all tasty, plus bonus of self serve salsa bar with some spicy good stuff. staff are really friendly and place is always very clean. love this place! no kidding, the food here is as good as the street tacos i've had in guadaljara and mexico city.

[
"this is a little tacos shop that has amazing tacos and more. i have yet to eat something here that i haven't liked! their ceviche is amazing and one ceviche tostada to - go is enough to almost make three of them, so the portions are huge. definitely a must try if your in the mood for some good mexican food!!",
"diablo shrimp kicked my ass and made me beg for more at the same time!!! amazing!!! but not for the weak, or sensitive! my new fav spot & the staff is professional & courteous.",
"delicious tacos! $ 6something for 3 tacos beans and rice and a mini salad. so good! me and my husband both had the carne assad tacos and they were good! my husband said his was kinda dry, but the flavor was there. don't come here looking for a posh environment because it's not. it's a good ol taqueria and i wouldn't change a thing. parking lot is a little small, and it's kind of hard to spot the place at first glance but once you make it in there you'll be glad you tried them out! the red salsa is better than the green one, and they have pepsi in a bottle! : )",
"this place absolutely blew my taste buds into paradise. rolled tacos with unique and tasty street tacos to die for and the melon agua refreshing! a must try!",
"coming from the east coast and having the experience of living in nyc, the land of food trucks and ethnic food, this place hit the spot! i had the carne asada, it seemed pretty fresh to me, but damn it was spicy too.. im not sure if it was the salsa verde or the meat that was spicy.. i loved the old school, mexican cross southern california feel inside. strong accents but that didnt stop me from ordering. i'll be back to try the tamale and their rice and beans among others : )",
"really not sure why this restaurant does not have 5 stars because it is the absolute best, hands down! this is my second time eating here in one week. i crave this place. if you like it hot, the deviled shrimp is to die for. the ranchero steak plate is also delicious, so delicious that my mom just put in another order to go so she can have it for dinner : ) the establishment is clean and the staff is super friendly. i highly recommend jalisco's!!!",
"what a great little find. found this place by mistake and had a great meal. love the tacos and enchiladas. great food, great customer service and a great value. would recommend this place to everybody.",
"this place was awesome. i came down to visit from california my mom lives here in mesa so i took her out to lunch and she suggested this place. the food was excellent the beans are perfect the rice was nice and flaky and i love that they were not selfish with guacamole and sour cream on my taquitos. the service was great also. it's a small place but it's got that nice homie feeling."

i work very close to this restaurant and eat here often. the staff is awesome have my order memorized. there carne asada is very good! i love spicy food and they throw in a roasted jalapeno. i usually take out but if your eating here must try their burritos wet, both red and green sauces are very good.

[
"this place isn't bad for how much food they give you. the only problem is that carne asada has that same quality of flavors as you would get as if you were shopping at ranch market - no frills / extraordinary flavors, but the taste is still there. but overall the place looked promising as it was packed upon entering. willing to try this place again, but will try something different.",
"i wanted to give jalisco four stars, but my conscience just won't let me. it's good, especially the carnitas and lengua tacos, but the refried beans were average and the carne asada wasn't as tender as it should have been. full of flavor, but a little chewy. fast, friendly service, and the value is off the charts.",
"they are very inconsistent in quality. on good days, i would rate their food very good, but i'm starting to see a lot more bad days and i'm about to give up on them, as it's not worth the gamble. i swear they put some kind of artificial lemon juice in their guacamole last time i was there. they seem to screw up their take out orders a lot as well, even when they're not busy. to have the best chance of having decent food, eat in. i would recommend the cheese enchiladas if you do.",
"this is a rough looking little strip mall place. the kind of place you see all over the valley. if you want atmosphere look elsewhere. we tried a few different things - - tacos, torta and assorted other things. the food was all pretty good - - not the best in the world, but good. tacos are a $ 1 each. prices were awesome and the service was pretty good also. there's not too much else to say about it.",
"just okay. because i was the only white person here i had high hopes it was going to be a real winner. sadly it is just okay, about on par with filibertos or others.",
"this is authentic mexican food, and their tacos are pretty cheap. i liked the carne asada, but the chicken was quite dry. don't be fooled by the location, the food is good!",
"foods been good times i've been there my family usually love ordering the special which is one taco two rolled tacos and bean and cheese tostada for about 3. 99 i would give this stars but just went here day before yesterday and they forgot to give me my drink there was no one else there so they were not busy i was in a hurry left got home and realized they didn't give me my drink",
"we found this place to be inexpensive and more tasty than we expected. the soda was flat but that is no big deal when the food is this good. if you are looking for inexpensive mexican grub, this is the place."
] |
this is what i consider the old style taqueria, a hole in the wall place that shows its age. the food was ok, the service was good, but it just leaves you longing for more. a remodel, or even an investment on some paint and new furniture would go a long way.

"we went to brio last night with 4 friends, the food was great and our waiter carlos was great. the peach belini was very good, the salads and main courses were prepared just right. we used to go to bravos in pittsburgh, brio is the same menu and good food. we will be back very soon and ask for carlos.",
"the happy hour at brio is extremely jolly! we love the offerings at the brio at town square in las vegas, and thought we would try the phoenix version of the same restaurant. we dropped in on a wednesday for happy hour before going to a film, and were astonished by the size of the portions. some of the items were similar to vegas \" menu, but the servings of the shrimp and eggplant and the pizza margarita were twice if not three times as big! delicious spicy shrimp and crispy flatbread pizza accompanied by two large margaritas made for a great preview to coming attractions. the space at this restaurant is also more generous, and we were able to eat inside in unhurried luxury!",
"went to brio's with my bday group of 8 girlfriends. i, and 2 others ordered the calamari, and unfortunately we were disappointed in it. the manager came over and took replacement orders from us for the steak salads. he then credited 3 out of the 9 lunch orders to apologise for our initial disappointment. what can i say, service like that makes me very loyal, and all my friends agreed we would continue to visit brio's where the food is always tasty and the service is impeccable. thank you to the manager for making my lunch special for me instead of the disaster it could have been.",
"brio has a fantastic happy hour with everything $ 2. 95 and drinks resonably priced! you can get a hamburger, pasta, pizza, artichoke dip, caprese, etc. it is worth going early to find a nice spot in the bar since seating can be limited!",
"had dinner, lunch and brunch here many times. food is always good, servers are great and there are no surprises. i've also been to parties there and the restaurant is always accommodating in the back room.",
"great food. not your traditional italian menu. i bit pricey, but large portions. service was excellent.",
"happy hour with the girls. arrived brio early and the place is empty. the snowbirds are mostly gone and we have the place to ourselves. greeted and seated quickly. waited for our 4th person who arrived shortly. we decided on 3 orders of pepper shrimp, carpaccio, and potatoes. the service was slower than usual but not sure why. the food arrived all at once. nice presentation and good eats. the place got more crowded as the hour got later. we enjoyed a nice eve out. happy hour prices are great and you get a lot of food.",
"love the upscale feeling... and the outdoor seating for great people watching. great after work happy hour spot, with happy hour specials on appetizers and drinks. food tastes very fresh and homemade."

one of my favorite restaurants, the prices are reasonable and the food is outstanding. it's a little bit too good when you are trying to diet. however, the lobster bisque is to die for, and one of the chocolate desserts actually melts in your mouth. definitely a great place for a nice and quality lunch or a peaceful dinner!

"stopped here for a late dinner and decided to eat in the bar. the bartender, brendan, was great! service was fantastic! he makes the best peach bellini ever! during the summer they have a reverse happy hour for the last hour of business. we had the tomato mozzarella salad, a flatbread on the hh menu, and lamb chops and dessert... way more than enough to eat, it was served quickly, and everything was great! the chocolate lava cake is the best dessert they have, and although it came out under - heated the first time, it was corrected right away! the manager, vinnie, came by to make sure we were satisfied with everything. that's customer service! always clean and nice decor too. love it!",
"oh goodness, where to start! we had an amazing waiter, adrian, who started with wonderful manners and suggestions. now the food - 10 / 10!! my mother and i shared a pasta alla vodka ( best pasta i've ever had, i promise ), and my brother and father had 14 oz steaks that were not only perfectly charred, juicy and medium, but the veggies and potatoes were also seasoned quite well! i am so absolutely happy to have come to this place with my family ; tres bonne!",
"happy hour king & scottsdale quarter gem! - here's my order : on my most recent visit, i went for dinner with a close friend and we decided to try new dishes. i ordered the special of the day which was a lobster and shrimp ravioli dish. best. ravioli. ever. happy hour : if i am in the area, this is one of my top choices. i can bring a date for lunch / dinner and get a few drinks without dropping more that $ 40 great ambiance, friendly staff, 10 / 10.",

"visiting scottsdale with my girlfriend and went to brio for dinner. had the pleasure of meeting chef jeffrey perin, who gave us some fantastic recommendations. we started with the bruschetta quattro, a nice sample of their house - made bruschetta. we then moved onto the fennel sausage & roasted tomato trecce pasta, which was very flavorful and satisfying. next, we enjoyed the 14 oz gorgonzola crusted bistecca, which was outstanding. the meal ended on a sweet note with a petite, peanut butter & chocolate mousse. all in all, it was a great experience and a delicious meal! next time we're in town, we will definitely return.",
"absolutely fabulous experience today for lunch. this is a great place to eat if you have food allergies or sensitivities. not only do they offer several options that are gluten free, but they were also quite flexible about making some variations for my friend who has many food limitations. the manager steve was very personable and came to our table to be sure my friend's needs were well taken care of. my pesto chicken & quinoa salad was excellent as well. to top it off, it is conveniently located near the parking structure and the prices are reasonable. i will be back again soon.",
"boy did we stumble upon a gem. one of the best all around meals we have had in a while. started with a great peach bellini, then we split a very nice chopped salad. our waiter, cody ( he was excellent ) suggested the lasagna and he was right on, it was one of the best ever. i ordered the braised short ribs, and again, they were outstanding. included mashed potatoes, roasted carrots and mushrooms, again they were super. if you are in the kierland area of phoenix, this place is a must. prices are very reasonable.",
"love to come here for hh and all their great appi's. tonight was first time coming for dinner and we were not disappointed. our waiter, danny was personable and attentive and only here to make everything to our pleasing. the spicy shrimp and eggplant appetizer is our favorite and what keeps bringing us back. and we love to bring our out of town guests in to enjoy it as well. enjoyed danny and the whole staff! thank you."

brio is one of my favorite italian restaurants. you're not going to get mama's memorable home cooking from italy, but it's good food. even though most dishes are very flavoable and delish, the lasagna is my favorite. great staff that's efficient, and professional. plenty of parking in garage. you may have a wait some nights.

"had a nice lunch there - - love the bread basket, as so few places do that anymore. had the chicken and wild rice orzo salad. it was a huge portion and was like something i could make at home. the service was a bit slow. they gave my salad to someone else, so i had to wait. should have comped my iced tea for the extra wait. i would go back again, but i think it is pricey for what you get. the salad is about $ 13 - - $ 11 would be more fair.",
"happy hour is the only reason i come to brio - where you can stuff your face for less than what one drink costs! you have to sit in the bar area to get the happy hour menu. bar service is always fast, but you will be within earshot of the employees which is always a fun time. they talk a lot of crap about one another or their personal lives, which shocks me every time! i've sat with a couple of friends in the booths in the bar area and occasionally had female servers with bad attitudes, but i suppose i would too if my customers only came in between 3 and 6 : 30.",
"i met a friend here for lunch, and we ordered the soup and salad, the bistecca salad, and minestrone soup, really good price, and the salad was chilled, it was delicious, the soup was pretty good too, i think i like olive garden's minestrone better, my girlfriend says their happy hour is really great also!",
"why doesn't yelp allow half stars. this is really a 3. 5 restaurant. typical higher end italian chain. food was ok but not exciting. was i expecting any thing different? service was good.",
"we got in here without a 50 minute wait that was the option at true food, which is our go - to place in the q. the service was excellent and the waitress got me a nice cushioned chair from inside that made me comfortable. the starter was very good, bruschetta quattro, or something like that. but i had the mediterranean pasta which was just blah! my wife had salmon salad which was ok but nothing special. i was tasting my dish and just thought that nothing stood out at all. i don't use dressing or flavoring so it was just not tasty food. i guess we will stick to true food, it has a long wait for a reason.",
"food was good not great. service was good but not great. restaurant is beautiful but far too open and noisy. all in all adequate but not a memorable experience. server did her best to make it a good dining experience. if i was to spend my time and money dining out, i would look elsewhere. great for drinks on the patio though!!",
"been about 3 years since i came for lunch. tried it again for a business lunch on friday. the place was very busy. had the salmon lunch entree with angel hair pasta. the salmon was good, but the pasta was drenched in too much butter sauce. the meal was decent for the price, but nothing wowed me.",
"the originality of the dishes are platitudinous however there was some fresh and delicious qualities. the bruschetta flight was decent ( every place feels the need to put bruschetta on something that has the texture of a stale pretzel but its so much better on a piece of lightly toasted bread like sourdough ) and the risotto had good flavor but the shrimp inside the dish were puny. solid wine list, good happy hour, plus good service would bring me back for a snack and a drink... i would probably skip dinner though and just patron the happy hour."
] |
i give two stars strictly because the customer service was terrible, i guess we came late and agitated our server, but who knows. the food was very good i had a flatbread that was excellent and the carpaccio was also good and huge. the mall that brio is located in could really use a jolt of electricity, but that seems to be all too familiar these days with the funky economy.

"brio is outstanding. the gm matt is top notch if there is a problem which is very few he is on top of it to correct the situation. the servers are all a step ahead of all restaurants in the area. food is exceptional. brio is very community orientated. by far my favorite restaurant. the chefs jeff, mike and jorge are very accommodating. you cant go wrong with brio they have 3 lunch specials for 8. 95. i usually have to have a to go box",

very delicious food and the pricing is great too. we order their family bundles for delivery and there is always leftovers. it's really a great value considering the amount of food you get. the salads that come with are always fresh and never soggy. i also use the leftover bread that wasn't eaten at dinner and make french toast in the oven with it. awesome service too.

"what has happened to this place? my husband and i went there sunday afternoon... no body greeted us or told be right there. i wish i would of left then... the place was dirty... no covers on electrical outlets, no tablecloth on our table... but other tables had them. the cooks looked so unprofessional with their backwards baseball caps on. the filters above the kitchen were laden with grease and dust. the food was lukewarm, but cold in spots. no flavor at all. had to ask over and over for cream for lukewarm coffee. we used to really enjoy this place, the food was amazing... i should of went to denny's... better food, service and quality",
"the food was bland and barely edible. the beef app was a joke. it had no flavor. even the mustard didn't help. the caesar salad was yellow. not even a shade of green in there at all. the lobster bisque lacked flavor.",
"have been to a brio before and remembered it to be very good but no such luck last night. i had the chicken limon and we also had a double pork chop. the chicken was dry, did not have any of the saute sauce as would be usual, and had very little flavor. the vegetables it was served with were inedible. no idea what was wrong with them but bitter and terrible tasting. my partner only ate 1 of the 2 pork chops as he said that was not good either. disappointing. the bread was good, the server was very nice and attentive... only positives... ahh well.",
"the place is cavernous, and not in a good way. testosterone fest of male waitstaff. ordered the salmon, which came out well done when we asked for medium, and the lobster, which was so salty it was inedible. the waiter was apparently also the backup bartender, so i had to get up and walk to the bar and ask for my wine to be refilled, annoying. basically he paid no attention to our table at all.",
"we wanted to like this place but sadly could not. although customer service was good, the food was not. i had the pesto pasta, which was more soup like. i was later told that the pesto sauce is made with chicken broth. my husband had the carbonara, which was bland, like bacon bits boiled in a cream sauce. needless to say, we will not be back. the place was the \" applebees \" of italian cuisine.",
"food very average. i have eaten at this restaurant on 5 different occasions and the quality has progressively gotten worse. he the last two times the red wine was served luke warm. i had the server check the temperature and it was 82 degrees. tasted like warm water. he said they don't have a wine cooler for their reds and keep them in storage upstairs in a room that is obviously not air conditioned.",
"i had high hopes of decent italian food here. the decor is beutiful, easy parking etc. but omg, this is garbage. i had veal marsala with a side of linguini in aurora ( pink ) sauce. so awful, i returned the dinner for a refund. i eat this same dish made by italians in my small town and i have eaten this same dish worldwide. unedible. marsal sauce tasted like the brown sauce on a beef dish from the age of hot airplane food. the linguini sauce was so awful. i am not sure this corporate restaurant chain even has a clue about italian food.",
"went with my family last night for dinner and i was very underwhelmed. the server walked away so quickly after drink orders that i couldn't get in an order for an appetizer. the food was very mediocre, my asparagus had no life. when the food was delivered, all of our meals were given to the wrong person at the table.. very odd. overall, i was not impressed and don't plan on returning."

normally brio is great, you know what your getting but the time i went to this location it was sloppy. everything was thrown together as if the staff was anxiously waiting to get off and had checked out for the day. the food was fine but no one was paying attention. we waited forever for a refill on the water, our burger came out at the wrong temp, we asked for sauce and small things on the side and they never came. dissapointing brio, step up your game!

this place is one of the best places to hang out in north scottsdale. great wine, an awesome happy hour, and lots of tasty, healthy food to choose from. it has a classy, dressed up vibe, while being casual at the same time and not too expensive. great value here and service is pretty darn good too

"every time i come here, service is amazing! everyone's friendly and welcoming. food is so good - fresh and delicious. portions are larger than expected. therefore, the price is really affordable. highly recommended. also great location, close by the strip.",
"my favorite thai restaurant in las vegas. we've been coming here for years and i always get the tom yum goong soup. i also really like the pad thai here. it tastes like real authentic thai food. the servers are also really nice and friendly.",
"this place looks like a questionable dump from outside. just stop in. be curious. because it is beautiful inside. holy jeebus. the service is excellent. everyone is super friendly. i was dining by myself and they treated me with respect and not like i had five heads and rabies. and the food. the food. so freaking delicious.",
"super busy at lunchtime during the week, so food takes a bit longer to come out and pretty quiet in the evenings / weekends. a lot of good options and the price is really impressive for how good the food is. in a strip mall which i am never really crazy about... parking can be brutal, but it's worth it. the middle aged and older asian women severs are very polite plus usually on you to make sure everything is good. not always refilling water glasses as quickly so super hot entree orders may be something to reconsider. their 1 - 10 spice levels are consistent in my opinion. 7 seems to be just right. check it out.",
"best restaurant in town! the food is always consistently delicious and fresh. i absolutely recommend the thai curry",
"i can't say a bad thing about this place. reservation was ready early. service was attentive and friendly. the food is the best thai our family has had. so fresh and flavorful and ready quick. we have found a new thai favorite! try the appetizers and plum wine!",
"been going to this thai restaurant since i was 7 years old. when it close due to a kitchen fire my family & i were devastated. when it open back up we were ecstatic! the service is great & the food is even better. the owner kitty definitely knows what she is doing!",
"thai spice is my favorite thai restaurant in the area. i love their more traditional items. the mint leaf chicken is awesome. if you like spicy, this is a great choice, but can choose spice level from 1 - 10. the larb is great and the soups awesome - as well as the satay chicken with yummy peanut sauce. the owner / hostess is welcoming and friendly. note : i was turned on to this place on a visit with my mom and sister and after returning to lv for about 7 years, found this the best in the area. the food is very authentic."

food is always excellence there and service is also great. they have the best phad thai in town. this is the first time we try their curries, beef panang curry and vegetable red curry. and of course they never disappointed us. it was very authentic thai style and full of spices. so far it is my favorite thai place to go. i will definitely go back there again.

"ok yelp this is my first time coming to thai spice. the restaurant is very nice in the inside it was kind of slow it was my boyfriend and one other gentleman. our waitress was nice. for a appetizer me and my boyfriend ordered the stuff chicken wings it was really good some thai restaurants dont offer the stuff chicken wings on there menu so that was a plus. for the main dish i ordered tom kha it was really good and the flavor was awesome it had a lot of chicken. my only complaints are that the food here is over priced and my soup didn't come with rice i had to ask usually it comes with rice.",
"been a couple times. basil chicken was a bit salty. cashew chicken was good. service was decent. not bad but likely would prefer other spots in the area.",
"howzit!? decent thai food. average atmosphere. good service. notable dish : beef panang curry, garlic pork with tofu.",
"this is a decent place to eat, both for the quality and the money. in all honesty it is not quite as good as archie's, and not in the same league with lotus flower of siam, but it is good food, and as i said above, decent price. i will confess i did like their panang chicken curry a little better than archie's because it was tender chicken, and they were more generous with the curry sauce. i will say that i will go back there for sure, and that tells you it's worth a trip to try it.",
"we tried this place because it's close to our work and we were looking for a better thai place. the pad thai was one of the best i've had and the green curry was great too. the spice level was 5 and it wasn't too spicy. i only give 4 starts because the service lacked. slow to even come to our table, they didn't stop by to check in to often and it even took a long time to bring the check. i will go back for the food however until i find a better place around my work.",
"i stopped here for lunch the other day. the lunch specials were $ 7. 25 so i ordered the pepper steak. the lady asked what level spice i wanted it so i tried level 8. the pepper steak had great flavor but i would go for level 10 next time since it could have been spicier for my taste. the meal started with a soup that i just thought was okay and a salad that i didn't try. the egg roll and rice that came with my pepper steak was real good. service was good and the food came out quick. the price was right and portion of food good so i will stop by for lunch again.",
"the tom yum soup with shrimp still has a lot of shrimps hehee, the padi thai this time around was good not great and the thai iced tea still taste damn good hehee.",
"food is great and staff is friendly. would be a solid 4 maybe almost a five but i have a big problem with this place. recently, they have cut there servings almost in half. when asked why they said price of meet has gone up. this is not true though! see gas prices have been going down in turn cost of food has slightly decreased. i asked for same amount and had to pay $ 2 more for a lunch special. not a special anymore!! wake up thai spice, you will loss business by trying to cut corners and it will hurt you much more than giving a little extra away."
] |
very good food. we waited for quite some time after being seated to give our drink orders. then again to give food orders, however that was during the lunch rush so i assume they were just very busy. if you go for lunch they have great specials that come with soup first. there isn't alot of seating but it is worth a bit of a wait.

"absolutely the best thai food in las vegas. matter of fact it's questionably the best thai i've ever had. i eat thai regularly in san diego and this place is quality thru and thru. the attention to detail in the food is obvious. the portions are massive, the meats and veggies are crisp and flavorful. had the fried shrimp and beef balls with pad thai. this is the spot guys!!!",
"they are my favorite thai food. all of the people are very courteous - polite and friendly. and best of all the food are the best. everybody that i take there enjoyed the experience. i recommend to everybody.",
"the best thai i've had in a long awhile. dishes are consistently good, not overly saucy like some places. the price is fair, lunch specials are very reasonable. never dined in as of yet, but the food is excellent either way i'm sure.",
"during my stay in vegas, a local vegas friend of mine took me to this place for lunch. i ordered the stuffed chicken wings, thai ice tea and a green curry with chicken ( includes a bowl of rice ). the chicken wings is delicious and up to standard of other thai places i have been to. the green curry chicken was also very good. the dish has lots of flavour without being too heavy and oily like other places i have been to. i ordered extra spicy and only found it mildly spicy so you may want to clarify what level of spiciness you want if you want something spicier. prices are very reasonable and overall i am quite happy with my visit here and would definitely come again.",
"i can't say a bad thing about this place. reservation was ready early. service was attentive and friendly. the food is the best thai our family has had. so fresh and flavorful and ready quick. we have found a new thai favorite! try the appetizers and plum wine!",
"good thai for las vegas. clean, nice atmosphere, very good staff. food quality was great! mango sticky rice for desert will keep us coming back! i recommend this place!",
"this place looks like a questionable dump from outside. just stop in. be curious. because it is beautiful inside. holy jeebus. the service is excellent. everyone is super friendly. i was dining by myself and they treated me with respect and not like i had five heads and rabies. and the food. the food. so freaking delicious.",
"this place was great. the service was definitely awesome. i ordered the chicken chow mein and the noodles were perfectly cooked, tender with not too much oil. i got the spice level 3 ( i'm a wimp! ) and it was definitely spiced well. this is my new favorite thai place!!!!"
] |
the best pad thai i've ever had. its not overly saucy like some places. i really miss this place and i've been on the hunt for a good thai place and have yet to find one that compares to thai spice. this was one of the few restaurants where i felt comfortable trying new dishes. the dishes here are consistently good. the price is fair.

"took a chance on coming here without a reservation on a friday night. they squeezed us in before the next reservation and we comfortably sat and didn't feel rushed at all. service was great. it started to falter a bit near the end when we needed the bill. but all through the beginning and during our meal, our server felt earnest and excited to help us enjoy our time there. food was tasty. the pig face and chimichurri pizza was flavour and garlicky. the lamb farfalle had a bit too much orange peel in it for my liking but the pasta and lamb were cooked really nicely.",
"food was delicious but service took a long time for brunch and the place wasn't that full. friend wanted a cheeseburger, was told they were out ( really? ) and then we see people around us eating cheeseburgers.. just weird. the apple / bacon pizza is great, and the breakfast pizza is a work of art. the chicken & waffles is ok - the chicken is better than the waffles, but you don't get a big portion of either. inside decor is awesome. would go again",
"went for the first time for dinner last night ( sunday night ). was ok. not bad. nothing special. shrimp was really good. soup was ok. pizza was fine. ribs were very good. they have a wine special on sunday's which was nice. half price for any bottle of wine. maybe i'll be back. maybe not.",
"great group atmosphere. service was good and food full of flavour. love the open kitchen concept and the way the dining area is separated into smaller cozy spaces.",
"had brunch here, loved the french toast they had and the breakfast pizza. our server was great & the place definitely looks different and unique.",
"serious flavour, seamless plating, delightful ambiance. ah - mazing cocktails. i ordered the scallops and although you only get 2 ( or maybe 3 ), you are completely satisfied due to the complimentary flavours and textures on the plate. staff was casual yet friendly, well versed in the menu and conversation. would definitely come again to try the rest of the menu and cocktails : )",
"they hooked us with the wednesday deal, when you can get any of their pizzas for $ 10 including the purchase of a drink. the pizza was very good. we had the mauna loa, which was a fun twist on a hawaiian. drinks were delicious too. call me cheap, but the rest of the menu was quite pricey in my opinion, so i think i'll stick to the pizzas. however, the pizza was so good, i would pay full price for it... better than the equally - expensive terroni. service and interior decor were great, a welcome bonus!",
"the overall look of the place is stunning, the atmosphere is cozy. our waitress was impeccable ; super friendly and knowledgeable. the food was good, but one of our plates was under seasoned ( it tasted a little bland ), and the other came without one of the key ingredients, which was only brought to us once we finished our plate. our drinks were well - balanced and tasty. overall, a nice experience, but i wasn't blown away!"
] |
the atmosphere is great for groups but it can be really loud, so just be okay with that. new zealand spinach salad to start which was great, and the pomegranates were so fresh. the grilled octopus was delicious, but a few initial bites weren't as warm as id like. they were very busy, but i think it sat for a minutes too long. but the flavors were excellent. very nice staff. no wifi.

"went into brio the other night as sq is close to home. the restaurant was very nice looking and being as it was happy hour i took a seat at the bar. the bar staff was very friendly and i was happy to find out they had some awesome deals for happy hour. i tried their shrimp and eggplant appetizer and it was amazing. i'm not usually a big veggie guy but between the shrimp and sauce this dish is delicious. the bread was warm and fresh and i ended up using too much of it to sop up the sauce from the appetizer dish and made myself full. can't wait to come back and try more.",
"love the happy hour at brio's. great food, drinks and people to meet. the staff is very attentive and want to ensure you enjoy your time there.",
"my friends and i have been coming almost every wednesdays for months. we come during happy hour and sit on the patio. usually, the host is very helpful and we are sat right away. the happy hour prices are very nice, their tomato mozzarella salad is awesome! that's what i get all the time. however, we don't come here for the service, that's for sure, to be honest, it is quite horrible. which is the reason why i only put 4 stars. i came here for dinner a few times as well, their pasta are delicious!",
"i love the food here and most everything is great. i was not a fan of the chopped salad though and won't have it again. it looked like it had started to oxidize and was a little wilted. my friend had the wedge and i tasted the ceasar dressing which i understand is home made, that rocked! i also loved the service. nice guys and attentive without rushing you. i'll be back.",
"i had a really good experience here at brio ; the food was warm and good.. the dessert was delicious, but the menu isn't anything really special. they are just regular, run of the mill items. it's clean, the waiters are nice and it's not very crowded! it's in a pretty cute area that you can spot it from the street. my opinion is that the one thing that stands out at brio is the steak salad and the alcoholic beverages. those are my go - to favorites!",
"it is what it is. a very pretty chain italian restaurant. if you are looking for authentic or out of the box original, don't go here. if you are looking for solid, safe italian american fare, this is your place. there was nothing wrong but nothing outstanding either, oh, except the butter, it was awesome. and to jason b., all the shrimp that we get in arizona is frozen. all of it!",
"not bad. service was good and food moderately priced. more of an open concept, so it is loud depending on the night. i order the crusted filet and it was great. i'd go there again.",
"love this place! i was introduced to them because of a yelp event held there recently but i loved it. the patio front and side are awesome. now that the weather is getting a little cooler here - i can't wait to go there and participate in one of my all - time favorite pastimes... drinks on the patio! it's a perfect venue. the parking garage is right across from the entrance. so easy! oh, and the food was wonderful as well : )"
] |
i don't usually like to rate chain restaurants but brio was pretty darn good. the service was friendly and efficient. the pasta dishes were very good with large poritons. i really don't have anything bad to say about this place. everyone seems to be mentioning the happy hour. i'll have to come back to try that!

"came here for brunch on a sunday morning and the place was packed ( just like every other restaurant in toronto on a sunday morning ), we walked in and stood awkwardly in front of the entrance for a full two minutes before somebody came to recognize our existence. granted they were obviously quite busy. we got seated at the bar ( we did not have a reservation ) which was not ideal but fine. all of this would have been okay if their food delivered. unfortunately their food was mediocre at best and there are very little choices. this place is ok if you are just extremely indifferent to what you eat or can find nowhere else to eat. otherwise, there are countless other restaurants in the city that serve better food.",
"atmosphere was great with cool decor in a massive dining room. food was ok. i went for brunch so wanted the southern fried chicken and waffles ( none on a sunday at noon ) as well as the apple upside down cake ( apparently off the menu now ), so i was a bit disappointed. opted for the cheeseburger and breakfast pizza. cheeseburger was on a nice bun and came with exceptional fries. breakfast pizza was decent. 3 stars for outdated menus and slow service.",
"more like the okay son. the service was good - a bit hurried - but our server was friendly and very attentive. we ordered the jerk shrimp, steak tartare and the octopus. the jerk shrimp while good, was quite small, only three shrimp. i guess that's why it's on the appetizer page! the actual steak tartare was delicious, i would have preferred larger slices of toast but all in all, it was good. i would not suggest the octopus - i'm fairly sure it was undercooked. all in all, it was an okay experience. most likely will not be going back. with a few tweaks, this place could be much better.",
"cute decor, decent service. brunch food was underwhelming and not appetizing. eggs benedict tasted off and pancakes were too deep fried. likely would go back.",
"1 ) make a reservation 2 ) the pizzas are huge - for a girl 3 ) the pizzas are deeeeeeelicious ( i had the margherita ) 4 ) i wish the menu was a little more extensive however, i'm convinced everyone could find at least one item to love.",
"extraordinary pizzas with imaginative, well - chosen toppings on a light neapolitan crust.. expensive, for pizza, but when something is expensive and very good the expensiveness seems to count for less than when it is cheap and bad, in which case the cheapness does not make up for it being bad... that said, the house wine was expensive but unexceptional, somewhat skewing the overall ratio of expensiveness to quality.",
"fun atmosphere and okay food. steak tartare, jerk shrimp, spicy brussels sprouts. the brussels were the highlight - saucy and delicious. the shrimp itself was nothing special, but the mango salad it's served on brought in some nice flavour. the steak tartare didn't do much for me, seemed to be lacking in the flavour department. a nice enough meal, but won't be heading back anytime soon.",
"fun decor. big space. green waiter and ill - timed mains : ( oysters with cucumber was a highlight, as was the haida gwaii halibut. the spaghettini was way too oily - and i like me some oil. jerk shrimp were alright, but the mango slaw they came with was better. decent wine list and good - looking cocktails. all in all, a decent night out in spite of their timing issues. this place probably needs a few more months for its staff to gel."
] |
i would probably go again, but i'm not in a rush to return. the food was good but over priced for the portion size. and the service was friendly, but being charged for champaign that they brought to the table because it was our anniversary, turned a nice gesture into something that left a bad impression on the overall experience. that said still an nice location with friendly staff.

( i have heard that they offer an awesome happy hour, apps are $ 2. 95. i am looking forward to returning and taking advantage of that! ) anyways.. this is my second time here and both times i have ordered the pasta alla vodka. absolutely delicious!! it was so good, i don't want to venture out and try anything else on the menu! our server was great. it was a wonderful experience!",
"love to come here for hh and all their great appi's. tonight was first time coming for dinner and we were not disappointed. our waiter, danny was personable and attentive and only here to make everything to our pleasing. the spicy shrimp and eggplant appetizer is our favorite and what keeps bringing us back. and we love to bring our out of town guests in to enjoy it as well. enjoyed danny and the whole staff! thank you.",
"i love brio! we come here all the time and are never disappointed. the happy hour is amazing, great options for food and drinks. the other night we had the brushetta quattro, an all time favorite, minestrone soup, caesar salad and tomato caprese. the bartenders are great, larry and brendan always take care of us. chef mike and the manager kayla stopped by to see how everything was, definitely appreciated. rarely does the manager and chef stop by the table at other restaurants! the customer service is on point here and the food always exceeds expectations. i will be a brio fan for life!",
"stopped here for a late dinner and decided to eat in the bar. the bartender, brendan, was great! service was fantastic! he makes the best peach bellini ever! during the summer they have a reverse happy hour for the last hour of business. we had the tomato mozzarella salad, a flatbread on the hh menu, and lamb chops and dessert... way more than enough to eat, it was served quickly, and everything was great! the chocolate lava cake is the best dessert they have, and although it came out under - heated the first time, it was corrected right away! the manager, vinnie, came by to make sure we were satisfied with everything. that's customer service! always clean and nice decor too. love it!",
"i have eaten at this wonderful and beautiful restaurant many times. every time has been great! the service was fast, helpful and friendly. the atmosphere is comfortable and upscale. the food is well portioned, plated perfectly and tastes delectable. there is many selections and will have something for any ones taste buds. i would strongly recommend the bruchetta combination for an appetizer.",
"went to brio for happy hour. we arrive early because of the crowds. however in the summer, the grille has ample seats. we ordered carpaccio, spicy shrimp and tomato flatbread. everything came quickly and looked great. the carpaccio comes with greens and is pleasing to the eye. we loved the shrimp dish. pieces of fried eggplant sat below the shrimp. the sauce that accompanied the shrimp is out of this world. there is a plateful of flatbread that was good as well. the three dishes were more than ample for a dinner. my only slight complaint was i had to ask for another glass of water but this was minor.",
"my husband and i went in there for dinner this evening! we have dined into brio a few times in the past. we love their food. the pasta vodka is my favorite! we had a wonderful experience, and great service too! we appreciated the manager stopping at our table to see how everything was. very friendly environment! we will definitely be back to try the layer cake!"

we came here for happy hour and the place is superb. our server nikki is top notch and was very attentive. this place is lucky to have her as she is a valuable asset to their team. the food was exceptional and the price was great. the atmosphere was good and we had a great time. we will be back.

"we went to this place for brunch. i would not call it a traditional breakfast place. not many eggy options. i tried the southern deep fried chicken and it was amazing. the french toast smelled great and the taste was ok. here they have an oven so the pizza is cooked in a wood burn oven and there are few pizza options that come with an egg! great combination. the service was great. the decorations were a fantastic. very rustic but clean and cool.",

"love this resto! great spot to being a group of friends to : ) very trendy atmosphere / decor. great service - - have always been friendly and efficient. the food has always been mouth watering. i recommend the margarita pizza & salmon entree. i wish they would bring the eggplant dip back - - it was beyond delicious!!!"

great food! we went for brunch and the food was amazing but the service was very dry and cold. the drinks are comparable to the ones at weslodge. you'll get a variety of summer cocktails infused with whiskey. the steak tartare is to die for! i would greatly recommend it for a light lunch!

"beautiful place! for us, a good dinning experience is about a nice balance of food, service and venue and this place combines all 3 to perfection. the venue is beautiful! great style, clean, nice lighting and cozy. service was a tad slow, but to be fair it was almost a full house. other than that everyone was kind and helpful. and best of all, the food!!!! we loved it. portions were perfect in size, and it was absolutely delicious. very fresh and tasty. we highly recommend it.",
"if decor was edible, i would like to eat at this place often. i was fascinated by the the multiple themed walls, and definitely stared at the old school clocks and faded miniatures for most of the dinner. service is friendly, came by often to check on us, and made sure we had everything we wanted. i ordered the lobster tagliatelle from the specials menu. fresh pasta mixed with cashews for extra texture and chunks of lobster and shrimp for flavor. i would definitely order this again, since it was a perfect balance of all my favourite things. hopefully they don't take it off the menu anytime soon.",

"literally, the best bike shop in las vegas. i cannot say enough about eric and shane! they are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and go out of their way to make your experience the best! if you want to cycle or need service for your bike, this is the place",
"we brought two of our bikes here to get repaired. they hadn't been ridden in several years and needed new tires, tune up, etc. the gentleman that helped us was very pleasant and helpful. they fixed both of the bikes in a couple days! definitely recommend this place for either repairs or for purchases.",
"customer service at its finest! we are from chicago and our daughter recently moved to vegas. we looked to yelp for the best bike shop in town and found pro cyclery. our daughter's bike needed to be adjusted. mike was amazing and provided such great customer service and fixed her bike on the spot. mike was very honest and trustworthy. we will definitely go back and wish there was a shop like this in chicago.",
"this is a bike shop totally interested in customer satisfaction. i purchased a pair of capri type bike pants that go over my knee on 10 / 31 / 13. i decided that i didn't like my knees covered and never took the tags off. on 5 / 2 / 14 i brought the pants, with my receipt, back to pro cyclery. i was extremely surprised at how gracious they were in processing my return. i left the store with 2 new pairs of shorts which i am anxious to try out this weekend. they have a great selection of cycle clothing and gloves and they want you to be happy.",
"wow! this is a shop very different from the norm. they actually know what good customer service is and teach it to their entire staff. my wife and i went in just to browse. we ended up buying a few things because of the great service and knowledgeable staff. they were not pushy or had the attitude of \" just get the sale \", but were extremely helpful and gave great tips and advice. thank you pro cyclery for an amazing experience. we will be back and recommend you to all our friends.",
"since our neighborhood bike shop, broken spoke, closed down, we had to find another shop close to our home. my hubby needed new tires for his high performance bike. he went to pro cyclery and spent a lot of money for new tires. his first experience went well. he felt it was a bit overpriced, but didn't have time to shop around. yesterday, he had a flat and took his tire for repair. the guys working wouldn't give him the time of day. he recognized that they were busy, but they told him to try another shop. so he went to mcghee's. they were very busy as well, but they took care of him. guess we have a new bike shop.",
"this place is amazing. i travel all the time and i have to rent bikes everywhere i go. they were so helpful here. they showed me all the places to do a long ride and told me where all the water stops were. eric couldn't have been a better host for the shop he gave so much advice it was great. they gave me a map and seriously helped every step of the way. i loved it and when i get back to town right back here i come.",
"emma g. i'm just starting out and was somewhat intimidated by the process. i've been to five bike shops in town but this was the first one who provided the exceptional service i wanted and needed. from the moment i walked in they were friendly and knowledgable. they took the time to explain what size i needed and why. when i left i felt like i not only made a great purchase but that they'll be there after as well. thank you for making my first experience a wonderful one."

not surprised to see the rating is five stars didn't even know this place was right here in my own backyard. great helpful staff, david was very helpful and then owner manager jayme was just the icing on the cake. they were very knowledgeable and pointed me in the direction i needed to go. highly recommend this location for your bicycle purchases and repairs

"this place was able to turn my tragic experience at another store ( see my other review ) into a life changing experience. not only were they able to get brakes on my bike ( the same day ) they also were able to provide me with options!!! they asked if the parts they had on hand were to expensive and if is like then to order a cheaper pair. they were friendly, informative, listened to wants : concerns and were able to help me with my parts! never again will go to the other store. this place has my business for life now.",
"i've never had a bike from an actual bike shop. i thought i would be intimidated and end up leaving but the second i walked in the store i was greeted by penny ( the doodle ) and david. david walked me through road bikes, off road bikes and hybrid. he was completely honest and it helped me trust him to know he wasn't being paid commission. penny just stood around looking cute. she was not as helpful. i ended up getting the liv rove 2 disc 2018 (?? )",
"i absolutely love this bike shop. the new location is fantastic, and the staff is the very best. they will go out of their way to help - as they did me, recently. i was not even a customer of the shop yet, but they still helped me with an issue i had - and did not charge me for it! needless to say, with that kind of customer service, i wouldn't go anywhere else. lots of places sell bikes and gear - but i know i can trust pro cyclery, because of the folks who work there.",
"best bike shop in town!!! just what i was looking for as a beginner. shane was so knowledgeable, gave me a lot of his time, i feel like my bike fits me perfect because he spent the time to adjust everything to my measurements. everyone there is super friendly!",
"this is a bike shop totally interested in customer satisfaction. i purchased a pair of capri type bike pants that go over my knee on 10 / 31 / 13. i decided that i didn't like my knees covered and never took the tags off. on 5 / 2 / 14 i brought the pants, with my receipt, back to pro cyclery. i was extremely surprised at how gracious they were in processing my return. i left the store with 2 new pairs of shorts which i am anxious to try out this weekend. they have a great selection of cycle clothing and gloves and they want you to be happy.",
"after looking through the reviews for local shops, i decided to stop into pro cyclery. the staff did not disappoint. every single person i talked to was helpful and informative. they answered all of my questions thoroughly, without an attitude. i walked out the store with a great bike and happy with my experience."

pro cyclery has great employees and awesome customer service. when i walked in i was greeted right away. jayme helped me out with all my questions and problems. i have a bike that meant allot to me and he was kind enough to help me out with it. i am definently coming back for future upgrades on my bike. these guys are spectacular! drop by and you will forsure not be disappointed!

"really good food & a good bar. the location is good too. definitely gone back numerous times. parking is a bit of a pain, but not horrible and they have valet, although i think valet is the biggest scam around.",
"arrived thursday dec, 22, 2011 without reservations at 6 : 45pm, which may be a bit early for this place. the bar was packed, the dining room had lots of empty but reserved tables. we got decent service, about 10 minutes till our salads arrived and 32 minutes until our meals arrived. easy parking in the garage across the street. i would go back anytime, it was a good meal and good service.",
"my friends and i have been coming almost every wednesdays for months. we come during happy hour and sit on the patio. usually, the host is very helpful and we are sat right away. the happy hour prices are very nice, their tomato mozzarella salad is awesome! that's what i get all the time. however, we don't come here for the service, that's for sure, to be honest, it is quite horrible. which is the reason why i only put 4 stars. i came here for dinner a few times as well, their pasta are delicious!",
"had dinner, lunch and brunch here many times. food is always good, servers are great and there are no surprises. i've also been to parties there and the restaurant is always accommodating in the back room.",
"i came here for lunch right after christmas. the building is beautiful. you feel like you're eating somewhere in vegas. i ordered the lobster bisque soup and the caesar salad. the table bread was great. the taste of the lobster bisque was good but it didn't have any lobster chunks. my friend ordered the vodka pasta - it had bacon in it which we weren't expecting although it was good. we ordered the molten chocolate cake - very good - and two cappuccinos, also good. because it was my birthday, they brought us a free mini tiramisu. except for the amazing interior decor, this place is your standard italian restaurant with standard fare. i would return again for lunch.",
"celebrating an early mothers day, shared the lasagna bolognese, salmon griglia, tuscan grillled pork chops, pasta pesto and calamari fritto misto. large serving of lasagna and very traditional, while the pork chops were very tasty and prepared well. the salmon and pesto were from the \" light menu \" which were small portions. everything was prepared and presented very well. the service was very good and the restaurant has great atmosphere for a nice evening. would recommend this for a nice relaxing evening",
"we went for happy hour and were pleasantly surprised. they have a $ 2. 95 food menu for happy hour and the options were very good. i had the margarita flatbread and my companion had the angus burger. both tasted great. the burger, although on a $ 2. 95 menu is a full size burger cut into 4 pieces. i also had a mojito which was very good, although this can easily vary by bartender.",
"not bad. service was good and food moderately priced. more of an open concept, so it is loud depending on the night. i order the crusted filet and it was great. i'd go there again."
] |
great meal. i had the shrimp and crab cakes. they were a bit small but quite tasty. if you are very hungry, i would order an appetizer first. the spinach and artichoke dip was very good. a little on the pricey side but well worth it for a nice lunch meal.

"love this place! i was introduced to them because of a yelp event held there recently but i loved it. the patio front and side are awesome. now that the weather is getting a little cooler here - i can't wait to go there and participate in one of my all - time favorite pastimes... drinks on the patio! it's a perfect venue. the parking garage is right across from the entrance. so easy! oh, and the food was wonderful as well : )",
"i have eaten at this wonderful and beautiful restaurant many times. every time has been great! the service was fast, helpful and friendly. the atmosphere is comfortable and upscale. the food is well portioned, plated perfectly and tastes delectable. there is many selections and will have something for any ones taste buds. i would strongly recommend the bruchetta combination for an appetizer.",
"excellent dinner! the service was impeccable right up until we ordered desert and again when we wanted our check. then it was as if the waiter forgot about us for 15 - 20 minutes.... other than that one negative, the food was absolutley amazing! every one of our dinners was delicious. ( we all sampled each others ) the appetizers and deserts were incredible as well. i would recommend this place to everyone.",
"this was our first time trying brio and it was exceptional. the service and the food was amazing! our server jessica was very sweet and was able to recommend great dishes. we had a little bit of everything! the lobster bisque, spicy shrimp and eggplant, and lump crab cakes were delicious and the chocolate lava and cheese cake desserts were to die for! definitely going back!",
"how can i not give this restaurant five stars after trying to dine at their neighbor, kona grill and being ignored the whole time? we were seated promptly and our server acknowledged us right away. he got our daughter a high chair and even asked if she wanted juice. service was excellent! the calamari, peach sangria and the lobster ravioli was excellent. it was a perfect dining experience and definitely what we needed. thank you, brio!",
"first time visit. 3 of us had danny r as a server and he was terrific. excellent food and service! manager came by to check on us. a chef brought out our appetizer. they had is at hello! lol",
"went to brio for happy hour. we arrive early because of the crowds. however in the summer, the grille has ample seats. we ordered carpaccio, spicy shrimp and tomato flatbread. everything came quickly and looked great. the carpaccio comes with greens and is pleasing to the eye. we loved the shrimp dish. pieces of fried eggplant sat below the shrimp. the sauce that accompanied the shrimp is out of this world. there is a plateful of flatbread that was good as well. the three dishes were more than ample for a dinner. my only slight complaint was i had to ask for another glass of water but this was minor.",
"we came here for happy hour and the place is superb. our server nikki is top notch and was very attentive. this place is lucky to have her as she is a valuable asset to their team. the food was exceptional and the price was great. the atmosphere was good and we had a great time. we will be back."

i'm giving this restaurant five stars because they went out of their way to make our party of 20 a perfect evening. the service was outstanding and the food was delicious and they took care of 10 adults and 10 kids with no problem. if you have a large group i highly recommend this restaurant. we sat in the north terrace and we had the room all to ourselves. thank you all including the general manager who came out and greeted us as well for a great experience.

"normally brio is great, you know what your getting but the time i went to this location it was sloppy. everything was thrown together as if the staff was anxiously waiting to get off and had checked out for the day. the food was fine but no one was paying attention. we waited forever for a refill on the water, our burger came out at the wrong temp, we asked for sauce and small things on the side and they never came. dissapointing brio, step up your game!",
"have been to a brio before and remembered it to be very good but no such luck last night. i had the chicken limon and we also had a double pork chop. the chicken was dry, did not have any of the saute sauce as would be usual, and had very little flavor. the vegetables it was served with were inedible. no idea what was wrong with them but bitter and terrible tasting. my partner only ate 1 of the 2 pork chops as he said that was not good either. disappointing. the bread was good, the server was very nice and attentive... only positives... ahh well.",
"we wanted to like this place but sadly could not. although customer service was good, the food was not. i had the pesto pasta, which was more soup like. i was later told that the pesto sauce is made with chicken broth. my husband had the carbonara, which was bland, like bacon bits boiled in a cream sauce. needless to say, we will not be back. the place was the \" applebees \" of italian cuisine.",
"the food was bland and barely edible. the beef app was a joke. it had no flavor. even the mustard didn't help. the caesar salad was yellow. not even a shade of green in there at all. the lobster bisque lacked flavor.",
"went with my family last night for dinner and i was very underwhelmed. the server walked away so quickly after drink orders that i couldn't get in an order for an appetizer. the food was very mediocre, my asparagus had no life. when the food was delivered, all of our meals were given to the wrong person at the table.. very odd. overall, i was not impressed and don't plan on returning.",
"what has happened to this place? my husband and i went there sunday afternoon... no body greeted us or told be right there. i wish i would of left then... the place was dirty... no covers on electrical outlets, no tablecloth on our table... but other tables had them. the cooks looked so unprofessional with their backwards baseball caps on. the filters above the kitchen were laden with grease and dust. the food was lukewarm, but cold in spots. no flavor at all. had to ask over and over for cream for lukewarm coffee. we used to really enjoy this place, the food was amazing... i should of went to denny's... better food, service and quality",
"waited over an out just for our food. service wasn't great. my pasta came out looking very dry, as if it was sitting out on the counter for awhile. sent it back as i was not able to eat it. 2 minutes later it came back to the table. same pasta, just some extra sauce mixed in. lobster was very mushy. this is the second time i have visited, and i will not return. first time i had a 2 \" long bone in my food, and the waitress told me that i \" now have a tooth pick for after my meal. \"",
"came here on a friday night at 6 : 45... place was pretty quiet. it's like the italian version of cheesecake factory except the food and the service both suck!! not even busy, yet it took 45 min to get our food. the sever had 4 tables and didn't fill waters or ask for drink refills. food quality is more like olive garden, but the price point is fine dining... which it is not. i'll never be back! terrible way to start a vacation in scottsdale."

the place is cavernous, and not in a good way. testosterone fest of male waitstaff. ordered the salmon, which came out well done when we asked for medium, and the lobster, which was so salty it was inedible. the waiter was apparently also the backup bartender, so i had to get up and walk to the bar and ask for my wine to be refilled, annoying. basically he paid no attention to our table at all.

"absolutely my new favorite place! just had my bridal shower there! matthew was great and also was kimberly!!! outstanding service! exceeded my expectations!! food was also out of the world!! everyone was so pleased and they were beyond accommodating! thanks guys! you're the best!!",
"had lunch with my boss at this place last week. very nice on the inside, surprised to find out this place was a chain. had the tomato bisque and split the bruschetta sampler. both plates were excellent. everything was freshly made ( our waiter reiterated this fact several times ). my favorite bruschetta had the caramelized onions on it. also, i loved the mini deserts. great way to have something sweet without paying / eating too much. i ordered the bread pudding and it was amazing. i",
"after the day i had dealing with lousy customer service reps, this was an oasis of awesome. our server michael was truly excellent. funny, attentive and knew the menu. made great recommendations. we loved our food. i had the lobster fettuccine and my husband had the pesce piccata. love! also try the raspberry monitor. a prefect experience start to finish.",
"my husband and i first ate at brio tuscan grille in las vegas for our wedding reception. today we are celebrating our wedding anniversary at the scottsdale brio tuscan grille. the food was great as usual but the service was even better. our server was aaron. he was very attentive, answered all our questions and was constantly checking up on our needs. aaron at brio tuscan grille was awesome made the whole experience even better...",
"very good. when you check in you get a free appetizer! every yelper can get excited over that. i chose the spinach artichoke dip and it was good, on the heavier richer side but yummy! than i ordered the sliced steak salad which was delicious but drenched in dressing. we finished up with the lava cake which was amazing! so decadent. they had chocolate ice cream on it instead of vanilla and i loved it! the bite of cold ice cream warm cake and hot filing was just so good. i'm talking drive her again just to have the lava cake good. worth the splurge on calories",
"this has now become my favorite place for happy hour! the food choices are amazing and affordable, and the portion size does not go smaller due to happy hour. we shared an amazing shrimp and eggplant dish, margarita cheesy dip with beef salad. i enjoyed the french gimlet cocktail that consisted of pineapple infused vodka ( made on site ), st. germaine, lime juice, and simple syrup infused cucumber = $ 6. 00. a very refreshing drink for a summer day in scottsdale! our waiter was wonderful and i am sorry i forgot his name! happy hour begins at 3 pm! cozy decor! i have also experienced this restaurant for a large graduation party and they did an amazing job! keep up the great work brio - - - i will be back!",
"i came here with my dad. i got a side salad to start which was delicious. and i got the chicken limone as my entree. it was so delicious! my dad got the fish limone pasta dish. it was ok. i think it would have been better if the fish was grilled or baked. it was fried fish which made the already heavy dish even more heavier. the only thing i didn't care for was my drink. i got the tropical cosmo that was on happy hour. the happy hour prices are unbelievable. this was my first time here and i will definitely be back!",
"great happy hour! the service was attentive. the parking was convenient. the food was very good. the rest room was clean! it was my first time there and we were happy! thanks."

one of the many restaurants located in scottsdale quarters. mix of american and italian food. we went for lunch. the pasta entrees were great. one of the salads came without the dressing but that was taken care of immediately. checking into yelp does get you a free appetizer. service is friendly as well this place has an excellent happy hour with several great food items.

"the restaurant was out of the 1 / 2 grilled chicken entree at 6pm on a saturday, so i ordered a steak. the steak was bland and unenjoyable. my friend ordered the pork chop and it was way over - cooked. the grilled chicken my wife ordered was smothered in pesto sauce but still had zero flavor. this chain has succumbed to the same mistakes made by macaroni grill, outback and red lobster - - poor food quality driven by prepared foods and a low - skilled kitchen staff.",
"that is the worst food ever i ate in my life. my god chicken was raw not cooked the mash potato is cold the a asked them to switch the beans to pasta they forgot oh triable.",
"do not go to this establishment. the managers and staff are beyond rude. the establishment is disgusting and not up to health codes. the food used to be delicious now i wouldn't feed their meals to my dogs. brio should be closed down immediately scottsdale deserves better!!",
"we went to brio for our 4 year anniversary and were very disappointed. it was our first time ever at brio and we've heard good things so we thought we'd try it. our server was great, but the food not so much. we don't mind spending extra money on good food but we ended up spending extra money on mediocre, bland food. my boy friend got raviolis which were 16 dollars and came with 5 bite sized raviolis. my pasta was bland and i ended up adding extra pepper to it just so it could have some flavor. we ended up spending over $ 100 on bad food. needless to say, we won't be going to brio ever again.",
"it doesn't matter who they staff in the bar it's always the absolute worst service somehow. i left after sitting for 10 minutes without being acknowledged. what a shame.",
"service was great, the bruschetta was decent but rest of the food was so incredibly bad. we ordered two main entrees and a kids meal - all were not worth eating. i really hope we don't have to eat here again. sorry brio!",
"the place is cavernous, and not in a good way. testosterone fest of male waitstaff. ordered the salmon, which came out well done when we asked for medium, and the lobster, which was so salty it was inedible. the waiter was apparently also the backup bartender, so i had to get up and walk to the bar and ask for my wine to be refilled, annoying. basically he paid no attention to our table at all.",
"me and my friend decided to try out brio at the quarter on sunday very disappointed on the service we asked for one thing and the waiter brings something else after two hrs. the food was nothing special, i will not recommend......"

we have been going there for a few years now and we are about done going, today was another poor experience. they used to be well run but now it's all down hill. food and napkins on the floor, poor service and a general lack of care. too bad too but it's no longer a well run establishment.

"i have dinned here a few times, as a girls night out having some app's, dinner with another couple, lunch for a employee's birthday and then as a family for lunch with grandparent's would say that the service has varied in.... when is was girls night and we had some wine and app's at the bar, our server was okay... when it was lunch it was just okay.... dinner was better. food i would say is good, it just seems like the typical big box franchise italian restaurant that looses that special touch you find in the mom and pop type of places....",
"good was very average. mines was actually cold but this is not the reason for the 3 stars only. i just don't see the hype at all for this place. wasn't bad at all. wouldn't return though. just my opinion",
"ok food. ok service. i had the lobster bisque which was good but only one piece of lobster. my husband had the rotisserie chicken, good but dry. our server was nice but every time she approach d the table she must have decided we were ok, so she turned and walked away before communicating. food came out quickly but almost too quickly between courses. i will probably try out another place in scottsdale before returning.",
"olive garden is better for way less money. the food is nothing special and the pasta is too well done. the bread was good however. the decor is good but i can't eat it.",
"this place is ok but overpriced certainly. while it is a nice location and the food was ok, definitely not work the $ 70 tab for a lunch for two people. there are better spots in the quarter to try for sure.",
"just ate at brio at the scottsdale quarter location. we love the food - my favorite is the steak salad - but the service is slow. turnover seems to be high - we've had a different wait staff each time we've been here - and the training is lacking. my waiter tried to take my plate away before i was done eating and didn't even ask if i was done. we waited forever for our food and forever to get our check. on the way out, our waiter actually cut me off and stood in the way to pour a glass of wine for someone else. it was quite a disappointing evening.",
"why doesn't yelp allow half stars. this is really a 3. 5 restaurant. typical higher end italian chain. food was ok but not exciting. was i expecting any thing different? service was good.",
"cheesecake factory is way better. this place has very slow service and the hostesses seemed stuck up. the food wasn't all that great either, but the appetizers are pretty tasty. i think this place is way overrated."

for a restaurant with prices this high, i would expect a better meal. the food is decent quality, but definitely nothing special. the wait staff is decent, but definitely nothing special. i have only been here for work dinners, but would not necessarily choose to come here on my own.

"went to brio for dinner early sat. night. they were on a wait ( of course ) so we opted to sit in the lounge. ( i have heard that they offer an awesome happy hour, apps are $ 2. 95. i am looking forward to returning and taking advantage of that! ) anyways.. this is my second time here and both times i have ordered the pasta alla vodka. absolutely delicious!! it was so good, i don't want to venture out and try anything else on the menu! our server was great. it was a wonderful experience!",
"it is what it is. a very pretty chain italian restaurant. if you are looking for authentic or out of the box original, don't go here. if you are looking for solid, safe italian american fare, this is your place. there was nothing wrong but nothing outstanding either, oh, except the butter, it was awesome. and to jason b., all the shrimp that we get in arizona is frozen. all of it!",
"happy hour with the girls. arrived brio early and the place is empty. the snowbirds are mostly gone and we have the place to ourselves. greeted and seated quickly. waited for our 4th person who arrived shortly. we decided on 3 orders of pepper shrimp, carpaccio, and potatoes. the service was slower than usual but not sure why. the food arrived all at once. nice presentation and good eats. the place got more crowded as the hour got later. we enjoyed a nice eve out. happy hour prices are great and you get a lot of food.",
"went into brio the other night as sq is close to home. the restaurant was very nice looking and being as it was happy hour i took a seat at the bar. the bar staff was very friendly and i was happy to find out they had some awesome deals for happy hour. i tried their shrimp and eggplant appetizer and it was amazing. i'm not usually a big veggie guy but between the shrimp and sauce this dish is delicious. the bread was warm and fresh and i ended up using too much of it to sop up the sauce from the appetizer dish and made myself full. can't wait to come back and try more.",
"girl's night out! movies and happy hour at brio. the misters were going so we sat outside. we were quickly seated and offered water and drinks. we ordered wine, 3 orders of pepper shrimp, flatbread, a burger, carpaccio, and tomato and mozzarella. the wait staff is awesome. people watching is fun. happy hour is simply delish! everything was excellent and plentiful. our server was happy to give us separate checks and to go boxes. a wonderful experience.",

i love the food here and most everything is great. i was not a fan of the chopped salad though and won't have it again. it looked like it had started to oxidize and was a little wilted. my friend had the wedge and i tasted the ceasar dressing which i understand is home made, that rocked! i also loved the service. nice guys and attentive without rushing you. i'll be back.

"went here for the first time tonight. it was beyond my expectations! from outside the place looks pretty big but when you walk in its kind of a small setting. i haven't really had ramen before so didn't really know how to order. the staff was really helpful answering my questions. the beef stew was absolutely amazing. flavors were perfect. i also tried the dan - dan and was also super good! my youngest is kind of picky and i think he said it was awesome about 30 times. my 11 year old had 2 sushi rolls and was in heaven. will totally be back!",
"feeling a little sick so we decided to get some ramen. first time being here and we will definitely be back! my wife got the shrimp ramen and i got the chicken katsu ramen. very tasty flavor for hers and my chicken katsu was nice and crispy, perfect combination for my taste. service was very good, our waitress was so polite and kind! definitely recommend this place!",
"this is a fantastic ramen place. i have ichiban ramen near my house and dont get me wrong... its a great place too, but ramen house has some really good authentic ramen. i ordeted the chicken katsu ramen and the james bond sushi roll. everything was fantastic! i will continue to go here again and again. service was very nice. if you like ramen i suggest that you check out the ramen house!",
"loved this small ramen restaurant! no wait, food came out quickly and the service was exceptional! helen was the best!! she gave us excellent recommendations. my daughter and i got the dan dan ramen noodles which had just the right amount of spice. it was delicious! we also got the california dream roll. it was really good as well. nice that helen pointed out the february special which gave us a discount. this place is convenient and awesome! will definitely be returning!!",
"everything was so good! and the service was amazing. our new favorite restaurant i got the house ramen and my husband got the chicken katsu ramen. it was way too much food for the two of us, but i'm sure the ramen will be good to eat later as well.",
"first of all, i travelled far and wide to get here. the service was absolutely great. the food was great as well. dan dan : 4 / 5 had good spice level and was overall great. spam fried rice : 5 / 5 with a touch of their soy sauce. house ramen : 4 / 5 tastier than i'd expect, considering they use chicken base broth. overall, i'd say it was worth the 28 mile drive and would recommend for ramen connoisseur's out there like myself.",
"looked for a neighborhood ramen place since i left montreal years ago for a place that gives you yummy noodles. this spot is tucked away in a strip mall on the west side of 215 and cheyenne and was pretty good. the staff explained each main dish and made sure we were comfortable with the spice level. we ordered the gyoza ( dumplings ) which were gone before you could blink. i have non fish eaters in my family so cucumber roll was ordered. we ate the beef shank noodles, dan dan noodles, kids noodle bowl with chicken and the beef shank noodles! everyone really liked the dishes they ordered. for sure will be back again. the server that helped us was so nice and helpful! thanks for everything",
"the ramen noodle provides exceptional service for guests. sushi is good. i like jack pot best. i take moshi ramen noodle that has pork broth and egg,, so good! i will definitely visit again!"

i found this place today. the staff is super friendly. the food is both fast and delicious. i came back tonight and gave something else a try. the place has made itsself unique by creating some ramen dishes that have chinese flavors. the ones i have tried were both really good. i will come back.

brio is outstanding. the gm matt is top notch if there is a problem which is very few he is on top of it to correct the situation. the servers are all a step ahead of all restaurants in the area. food is exceptional. brio is very community orientated. by far my favorite restaurant. the chefs jeff, mike and jorge are very accommodating. you cant go wrong with brio they have 3 lunch specials for 8. 95. i usually have to have a to go box

"nice ambience. menu is not complicated. haven't tried the sushi menu, but the ramen is superb. mochi dessert is awesome!",
"a warm & friendly family run noodle house. we stopped by on a cold day and enjoyed the house and miso noodles, gyoza & tempura shrimp. the flavors were clean and simple, and not salty. the broth is chicken and not pork but it was a nice change. we would stop by again if in the area.",
"i went to ramen noodle today, small and cozy restaurant, i order a miso ramen today, i love it, i will absolutely come back.",
"the dan dan and beef shank were absolutely delicious. wonderful to have a decent ramen place so close to my house.",
"the food was good, but since it is a small business the menu isn't vast like you would see in a larger restaraunt. the egg rolls were delicious! the service was quick and friendly. we will definitely go back.",
"so happy to have a noodle place close to home! great customer service, location and noodles.",
"the food was good. my kids enjoyed the fried rice and chow mein, and we enjoyed the different ramen choices.",
"their service was very friendly and prompt. prices were fair. this was our first time having'real'ramen and we thought it was good. they brought out a plate of edamame for the kids, which i thought was a nice touch."

i found this place a month ago when i was running a work errand, just now managed to stop in. the place is small but cozy and has a nice, relaxed feel to it. the ramen portions are big enough to share, but i didn't cuz i was enjoying it on my own. unfortunately my wife's food didn't agree with her, so i couldn't give this place the 4 stars i originally intended to.

"looked for a neighborhood ramen place since i left montreal years ago for a place that gives you yummy noodles. this spot is tucked away in a strip mall on the west side of 215 and cheyenne and was pretty good. the staff explained each main dish and made sure we were comfortable with the spice level. we ordered the gyoza ( dumplings ) which were gone before you could blink. i have non fish eaters in my family so cucumber roll was ordered. we ate the beef shank noodles, dan dan noodles, kids noodle bowl with chicken and the beef shank noodles! everyone really liked the dishes they ordered. for sure will be back again. the server that helped us was so nice and helpful! thanks for everything",
"loved this small ramen restaurant! no wait, food came out quickly and the service was exceptional! helen was the best!! she gave us excellent recommendations. my daughter and i got the dan dan ramen noodles which had just the right amount of spice. it was delicious! we also got the california dream roll. it was really good as well. nice that helen pointed out the february special which gave us a discount. this place is convenient and awesome! will definitely be returning!!",
"if i could give this restaurant six stars i would! the staff, though tiny, is kind and attentive - so attentive, in fact, that they even recognized us from our order on ubereats, after just three visits! they are so warm, and i always feel welcomed here. also, the ramen here is probably the best i've ever had in las vegas, no joke. i highly, highly recommend the house ramen, and if you can take the heat, ask them to add a little spice! this place is so underrated!!",
"the noodle taste and texture is fantastic here. very similar to the famous hamura type of noodle texture from back home on kauai hawaii. i ordered the shoyu ramen which was very tasty. i'd compare it to a sweet sour soup & soy sauce flavor. i also ordered the shrimp tempura which was good. the ambiance is small, quaint and comfortable. overall, great experience!",
"this place is my new addiction. i love that they customize to make their customers happy and they act like they appreciate their customers. our favorites so far are the spicy beef, the katsu chicken and the beef shank. i love having a cute, delicious place in this neck of the woods. i hope this business succeeds and that locals are committed to giving them a chance.",
"appetizers. edamame great. veggie rolls - best thing sauce. wings - super weird and greasy. beef stew great. ramen good. staff wonderful",
"i've tried multiple ramen places and i never finished my bowls, up until now i never liked ramen. i love this place! we ordered the dandan and the beef stew bowls, they were amazing. will definitely be coming back.",
"this is a fantastic ramen place. i have ichiban ramen near my house and dont get me wrong... its a great place too, but ramen house has some really good authentic ramen. i ordeted the chicken katsu ramen and the james bond sushi roll. everything was fantastic! i will continue to go here again and again. service was very nice. if you like ramen i suggest that you check out the ramen house!"

i have been to a few ramen places before. this one was excellent. from the service to the food everything was perfect. i had no idea that this hidden gem was here despite living in the area for a few years. the spicy bowls and traditional bowls were great savory, spicy and full of flavor.

"i came in last taco tuesday for the first time in awhile. we were seated in a very timely fashion by the hostess considering it was very busy. i asked for her name and she said \" i go by fergie here at work. \" she took us outside and made sure everything was right! we let her know our table was wobbly and asked if there was anything she could do about it. she immediately fixed it for us and recommended the sloe ride margarita when we asked her which one was the best! we had a fantastic evening and it all started out with the extraordinary service we received when we first walked through the doors. great job joyride!! we will definitely be back soon",
"i am coming back here. went with a friend who is a huge fan of mexican foods of all kinds. we were both impressed with the food and service. the guac was great, the almond horchata was a pleasantly refreshing surprise, and the garden variety burrito was the best veggie burrito i have ever had. my friend was happy with her street tacos as well. the service at the gilbert location was wonderful as well. we were immediately brought chips, salsa, and water, and our server was pleasant and very accommodating. her recommendations were spot on.",
"had the best customer service tonight at joyride. i didn't even tell my waitress i didn't like my food. she asked me what can i get since you don't like your food. i said nothing i'm fine. then the manager came out and said i'm not leaving till i ordered something else and it would be on them. i ordered some braised beef tacos and they were amazing. the customer service i had tonight was amazing. they went out of there way to make me happy. something that you don't usually get when you go out. very impressed with there service.",
"i absolutely love this place. downtown gilbert has really needed a place that can make a good cocktail. the mazaltan mule and pineapple mojito are especially delicious. the food has been excellent. wonderful tacos filled with very fresh fish or tender meat. the rotisserie chicken is a very nice take on a classic american dinner. the staff is one of the shining points of this restaurant. all the bartenders are more than happy to serve up exotic libations with a smile. joyride is a very welcome addition to downtown.",
"visited with my cousin and the service was wonderful! we recommend the fresh fruit juices with the add of your choice of alcohol. yum! everything was so fresh and good. the churros with caramel is the best. i'm happy heading home.",
"tory our waitress was amazing. made amazing suggestions and we loved everything. the ceviche is a must. my son ordered 2 orders of the kids quesadilla because he loved it. fish tacos were my favorite, the husband loved the carne asada tacos. we will definitely be back!",
"best place to eat dinner! everyone was so nice and the food was delicious! we had the street tacos and nachos. everything had a lot of flavor and was super fresh! the wait staff and manager were the nicest of any restaurant i've been too. will definitely go back!",

i went here on a weekday for lunch with my daughter. she goes her all the time and she thought i would like it. it was amazing. got three baja fish tacos and a cucumber mandren orange salad. also very good. the place was crazy busy and very fun. the place is very edgy in a good way. definitely will be going back here.

"another great gilbert restaurant. tacos were excellent, location is great. it was a casual atmosphere that was great to take clients to. good music, good food and great atmosphere.",
"great atmosphere, cool design and layout digging the hipster look. the chips and salsa where awesome, salsa had a nice kick and the chips weren't those cheap chips. the highlight of the night was the awesome battered fish taco and shrimp taco and im not a big fan of seafood, job well done, great flavor with an awesome corn tortilla, also, the carne asada taco was incredibly cooked but i could do without the sweet tasting salsa, however thats just my opinion. definitely coming back here!",
"i have been here three times now and like it says above \" i'm a fan! \" my favorite is the fish tacos and carnitas. they have all been excellent however. i did have a burrito once and while it was good, i would stick to the tacos in the future. the chocolate and churros are also a yummy good treat! they have great happy hour specials on drinks and tacos. love the atmosphere in this place, fun retro vibe. service is a little slow sometimes but nothing horrible.",
"love the tacos! can be noisy inside during busy times. i prefer to eat on their spacious patio in the cooler months. still one of my favorites places.",
"went here for the first time on a saturday night. we had a large party and they were able to accommodate us quite quickly. everyone said their meal was delicious! i had the ceviche which barely had any avocado in it. the server was nice enough to get me a little extra. my only complaint was that the drinks were overpriced. 9. 75 for a margarita and 9 for a 5 oz glass of wine. those kind of prices you need to be using top shelf liquor and 9 oz wine pours.",
"this place has better tacos than its neighbor barrio queen. i recommend \" the standard \", just a solid taco, yummy. bartenders were nice. kind of small dining area so if you're claustrophobic, it may be a turn off. it's also always super packed and busy. only been here once so i will update with future visits.",
"$ 5 margaritas on a sunday afternoon? yes please! very cool place with a nice vibe. busy place with delicious food.",
"went during happy hour and had the strawberry agua fresca with vodka, it was so refreshing and for a great price. also had the ahi tuna ceviche, was a little spicy but again great flavor. must try the chicken burrito! was a great experience all around and can't wait to go again!"

great food, nice atmosphere, great location. the tacos are good, i had one of each, very unique! the beast burrito is my favorite! the ceviche was tasty, but almost too chunky so it was hard to scoop on a chip. no televisions, so that can be good or bad depending on if you want to watch a game while eating.

"me and my fiance ate here for the first time today and the food was delicious. i had a blood orange margarita for my drink which was very yummy. we both decided to do the 3 tacos and a side of our choosing. i got a carne asada, the standard and a shrimp taco with a side of black beans. the fiance got a carne asada, carnitas and a baja fish taco with pinto beans as a side. the weather was nice out so we sat on the outside patio while enjoying our visit here. we will definitely be back for sure!!",
"we were seated promptly. the menu was simple and easy to read. prices... some were slightly pricey. we liked the ambience. retro fun! ^ _ ^ service was prompt, and those who helped us seemed knowledgeable of their offerings. we ordered tacos and chimis. oh and salad as well. we liked the fact that it's not processed. however, it seems to lack flavour. it's either salty, spicey, or tangy. their chips were yummy, and like the fact that darth vader kept us company! lol give this spot a go! ^ _ ^",
"visited with my cousin and the service was wonderful! we recommend the fresh fruit juices with the add of your choice of alcohol. yum! everything was so fresh and good. the churros with caramel is the best. i'm happy heading home.",
"shoutout to manager miriam for being so thoughtful.. she overheard i was a vegetarian and catered to my needs without me even asking! also the hostess olivia was very friendly sweet and made me love this restaurant before i even sat down! it was my first time here and i will 100 % be coming back : ) 10 / 10!!!",
"delicious! had the tacos which were moist and awesome. my cucumber mint water came out a tiny bit after the food and the manager (? i only assume ) said it was on the house because it came out late. totally awesome service. we were very pleased. plus we needed a really quick meal and they delivered despite being really busy. thanks joyride!",
"i had the carne asada taco ( without the salsa ) and a shrimp taco, both are gluten free and so yummy!! the wait was on the longer side ( 30 mins or so ) around 8pm on a saturday night. our server was tim and he was super nice and knowledgeable about what was on the menu. but with the restaurant being so crowded we didn't get service as quickly. but i definitely want to go back ( probably during happy hour or taco tuesday ) and try their blood orange margarita, because it sounded so good!",
"best bang for your buck taco happy hour! $ 2 tacos paired with $ 5 margaritas or pitchers. can't beat it. my husband loves their carne asada tacos. my favs include the chicken tinga and crispy fish. all of them are super fresh and flavorful! huge patio and good sized bar. all the staff was friendly and efficient.",
"amazing food! i came 2 nights in a row while in gilbert. i would give it more than 5 stars if i could! all food is made fresh on premises, you can tell! great service, great atmosphere, great prices, but most amazing food! the sweet mexican corn was my favorite. you can also tell tortillas are homemade = )"

i had the ensalada fila. it was a delicious salad, and i know my salads! the others in my party loved their food as well. delicious! i live far away but will come again when i next visit. it is a fun place with great food and friendly service. it has a loud atmosphere so not the place for a quiet dinner, but fun and even kid friendly.
