| - The people who give this dump a positive rating are probably the same crowd who patronize Arby's, McDonalds, Rigatony's and the myriad slop shops that abound in a state that has absolutely no culinary savvy.
The service is second rate at best, with waiters who could not care less about your satisfaction.
The food..well if you've just been released from Dachau or Treblinka..you might find it palatable. Warm when it should be hot..spiced so that all you really taste IS the spicing. It's unimaginative, uninspired and NOT ITALIAN..REPEAT..NOT ITALIAN. It's an approximation of what someone who has NEVER tasted real Italian food might offer up as "authentic"
As for the "wines"..well if you understand what the term "terroir" means you'll realize that with all the soil being the SAME in their "vineyards", there can be no real distinction in their purported varietals (you DO know what I'm talking about..don't you?). SO, if you like your whites to have the same underlying flavor as your reds AND with scant difference between say a cab and a zin..you'll love the pre-vinegar served up by their so-called wine experts. Of course, you'll forever brand yourself as an eater and drinker of the lowest form of comestibles.
SO..tourists, and Arizonans.. revel in your culinary ignorance and go. Hang your bib and hit the trough! This will leave room at table for those of us who have taken the time and spent the money to garner some culinary knowledge. God knows.. there are few enough real restaurants to go around.
______________________________________________________UNFORTUNATELY, A NO STAR RATING IS NOT AN OPTION. THIS PLACE IS SUITABLE FOR THE HOMELESS AND OTHER UNFORTUNATES WHO NEED A MEAL AT ANY COST. ON THE PLUS SIDE, THE FOOD IS NOT POISONOUS. SEE, EVEN I CAN FIND SOME GOOD IN ALMOST ANYTHING. As well, the management will NOT respond to any criticism that is not couched in glowing terms. I sent them an email reflective of this review and my brother simultaneously sent a positive one. Guess who got answered. I told the owner in no uncertain terms that HE KNEW just how bad the place is and that it was sheer arrogance knowing that it would probably not affect his business as there's always an influx of new and unsuspecting tourists..mostly from the midwest..where "culinary savoir faire" are just meaningless furrin words. On the other hand, the natives of this state who go more than once present a quandry. I had some guy in a cowboy hat (still on his head) ask me whar hairy cots verts were. I had to hide my grin as he was BIG..and you knd of know how a guy who keeps his hat on indoors will react. So, I smiled sweetly and explained that they were green beans and very good for a growing redneck.
PS I have no idea what's meant by asking if the photos below are "helpful". Helpful for WHAT? Oh well...
