| - I would give this place about 3/3.5 stars. I like the atmosphere and the food is really good, but they need a little bit of work(or maybe more practice) in a few areas. I had been here once, before they closed and reopened.
My boyfriend and I went to to Regions for dinner last night. The hostess and waiter were very nice, and there were a good amount of people in the restaurant, and many around the bar.
I ordered a drink, which happened to be frozen. The waiter said that they didn't have a blender and he would recommend I try something else, so I ordered the Peach Smash, which was fine because I wanted to try that one anyway. He didn't specify if the blender was broken or if they just don't have one, which would be weird considering they have that frozen drink on their menu.
We wanted to order the crab cakes as an appetizer, but we were told that they were out of them, so we got the fries and onion rings instead. They were really good! The fries have gorgonzola on top (yum!) and the onion rings weren't too heavy. They also give you a large portion.
They brought breadsticks out as well, which were really good also, and my boyfriend got the cream of mushroom soup that was VERY good!
We got our meals, which were large portions as well. I got the Veggie burger. It was good (although pretty cold, probably had been sitting around), but I wish that it would have said on the menu that it came with fries. We probably would have ordered a different appetizer had I known that, but because it didn't say anything in the menu, i was under the impression it was only the burger. No big deal though. My boyfriend ordered the roast turkey meal which was good, although really nothing special. both of our portions were definitely large enough for the amount spent.
The people sitting next to us tried to order a hamburger(also on the menu) but were told they were completely out of burgers today. That was really odd, the crab cakes and burgers? It wasn't even 7:00PM! It may have just been an off day, who knows.
Despite all of that, the food was very good, as was the service. I would definitely give this place another shot. I think with a little bit more practice (and maybe better food management) it can be great.
There is one qualm, though, that I have that really will make or break my decision to return. They have a neat bar that can be accessed from the inside as well as the patio. This means that one entire side of the restaurant is open to the outside. The problem is, they allow people to smoke at the bar (from the outside). Although we were sitting completely on the other side of the restaurant from the bar, the stench of the smoke was AWFUL. I'm not even sure if thats legal in Arizona to allow people to smoke that close to the open end of a restaurant. I could see the people sitting at the bar puffing away, as the smoke and stench traveled into the restaurant. Regions definitely needs to do something about that-- even just move the smokers to the opposite side of the patio.
