I've been coming here for 5+ years and never miss it when I visit Surprise, AZ. I have to say that I'm fearful that Dennis is allowing his standards to slip just a little. A few things that seem to have changed:
1. The Shaken Beef is my "go-to" order and has always been amazing. For the first time it seems to have been top sirloin beef instead of the advertised filet mignon - or worst case, a lower grade of beef.
2. Service seems to have slipped. Very friendly wait staff, but bussers that would walk right by the table empty-handed without clearing empty plates. Perhaps was just an oversight, but did not used to be the case.
3. Lastly, the lobster tail special during the Thanksgiving week was a major disappointment. Overcooked in the shell, could not get the meat free from the shell and when we did it was a bit dried out.
My future visits will continue because I just can't miss the fabulous flavor of Shaken Beef. My hope is that the prior superior standards return - and soon!!
