Text - Christopher's is a truly excellent food experience at a price consistent with the chain restaurants that dominate the locale. Using the best ingredients for the season, the Chef always makes a great pairing and provides a sophisticated staff that can suggest excellent advice for your particular taste. From the burger to the foie (never pass on the eco friendly and ocean fresh diver scallops when available), Christoper's is in a class of its own in Phoenix and should not be missed by any true foody. Unpretentious and friendly, it's a great place to learn about food- sit at the bar and talk directly with the Chef for a custom experience. And, they are very family friendly too (we go with our 9-yr old). World class food right here in Phoenix- imagine that!

Text - We stopped in this weekend for beer and dinner.  \n\nWhile the beer had been a solid three stars before it was now a solid five stars (American Pale Ale).  Truly an exemplary example of the IPA style somewhere between the mega hopped American IPAs and English IPAs.  \n\nLiquid Art for your enjoyment on tap.\n\nThe food was a solid three stars.  The only downside was the bread was burnt for the bread and spread appetizer.

Text - The original definition of awesome is \""that which inspires awe.\"" Le R\u00eave fulfills this original definition. The show was beautifully done with wonderful, colorful scenery, fantastic acrobatics, and amazing special effects. \nThe ambiance was beautiful, resembling the inside of a circus. When watching the show, the audience could do nothing but marvel at the up close encounters with performers, the death defying drops, and seemingly impossible acrobatics that the show offered. \nSimilar shows, like Cirque de Soleil are fantastic, but Le R\u00eave gives all of them a run for their money. Don't be confused, this is not a Cirque show, but the talent and showmanship of the entire performance left me sitting in my seat, wondering at the witchcraft I had just witnessed. In general, this was an amazing show that I would see again in a heart beat. If you are in town, go see Le R\u00eave. It is a must see.

Text - First time there, was not too bad, service was ok.  Second time, food tasted like a frozen dinner, service is very poor.  Will not eat here again.

Text - Very disappointed in the integrity of the chief. Two of four in our party ordered burgers medium. They came out rare. I ate mine, it was good and the 11 year old asked me because it was so rare if it was safe to eat? I said we could send it back but she said no. We saved about 20% of her patty and asked the wait person to show the kitchen what came out as medium and stated we were just giving feedback not looking for anything else. The wait person came back and said the chief said that is their medium. I'm telling you if you asked 10 people 80% would say rare, the others medium rare. NO one would say it was medium. Very disappointed they did not own up to there mistake. Other than this issue the meal and service was a 4 star.

Text - Owner and cook really trying here, but presentation is completely off, roast beef \""special\"" was dry, sauces are parochial, and manager did the post-meal plate-scrape on our table, right in front of us.\n\nDid I mention that the presentation is completely off? Just look at the pics. Ugh. Haven't seen it this bad since 7th Avenue \""soul food\"" fried-till-they-bounce de-presented plate presentations.\n\nBYOB with no corkage fee. nice.\n\n# Stuffed chicken breasts were the usual sterroid- and hormone-induced gargantuonomous meat hunks which are sadly the norm these days. Boring.\n# \""Root vegetables\"" were these sad little dried plantain-things\n\nLittle better than amateur home-made.\n\nWith the closure of the best french bakery in metro phoenix, Is there *any* proper restaurant in this part of town?\n\nSorry, Flapjacks. Stick to breakfast?

Classify the case below.
This place would probably be a haven for you if you enjoy smoking cigars. I, on the other hand, do not. Sorry for you peeps who enjoy a little puff on the stogie. But if you're like me, and you want to chill out at a coffee shop, do work there or just run in to get your coffee - or in my case - tea fix, it's not the place for you. Heck, even if you only run in, you run out smelling like you've smoked a thousand cigars, when you haven't even glanced at one in there.  \n\nI went in once and it was enough for me to decide this wasn't the place for me. I couldn't even tell you what my tea was like because I knew I'd never be back. I'll hop down to 21st Street Coffee where it's more my speed. I could totally see someone loving this place if they were a cigar smoker.
