Since our favorite Stingray Scottsdale location closed, we decided to try their new Chandler location. We arrived around 5PM on a Monday as it was before any possible crowd.
Upon entry, the music was really loud. There was an attempt to seat us at the first table near the entry. Again, the darn music was too loud. I requested that the sound level of the music be reduced----"No, we can't do that but you can sit outside". Outside is where the smokers can dine but we didn't want their cloud of smoke to ruin our dinner. Since our family wanted to talk and not have to shout over the music, we went way outside----which meant we departed this location.
We headed right to RA Sushi where the music is lower. Stingray lost the $200 that we spent that evening. I wish Stingray good luck in its reborn format and hope the "hip" crowd loves it. Crossing off Stingray from our dining list! :(
