| - Five stars for the view, Four stars for the drinks, three stars for the food, and two stars for the service.
The view at Jade was spectacular and cannot be rivaled. Nestled in Camelback Mountain, overlooking Mummy Mountain, this view has got to be one of the best in the Valley. The drink are tasty, strong, and well-priced consider the quality of the drink and ambiance. However, the food at Jade bar was not very impressive. Jade bar has a very nice happy from 4-6 where drinks and appetizers are half-price. While the drinks were all very delicious and strong, the food was not spectacular. Between my husband and myself, we ordered a chicken quesadilla, pork buns, charred edamame and chips and onion dip. The chicken quesadilla was pretty much what you would expect from On the Border, it was alright. The charred edamame tasted only of lemon, and the onion dip tasted of cream, but no onions. The pork buns were a bit greasy. It's not that the food was bad, but it wasn't what I would expect from a five-star resort.
The service was pretty much atrocious. When we first arrived, the bar was pretty empty, and my husband and I decided to sit in the patio. We waited about fifteen minutes, but no servers ever came by, so we finally just went inside to the bar to order our drinks and food. While we were at the bar, which was not crowded, a friend came to meet us and had a hard time placing an order. Later, we moved to an indoor table and still had trouble getting a server to take our order. Our waitress was pretty shoddy, and we alternated between ordering from her and ordering from the bar.
For a nice time at Jade make sure to sit at the Bar and avoid the food.
