Text - Stopped by last night and was not impressed. Right off the bat one of the girls working here told my friends that she wanted his balls in her mouth and she wasn't joking. I was disgusted by her behavior. After that  we met a guy on the patio who found a puppy in the bar and was trying to comfort the dog because it was scared of all the people and loud music. Later on that evening a bouncer told me that the dog belonged to the owner of Shotgun Betty's and was looking for the guy who was holding the puppy. I told him that the guy who had the puppy was concerned for its well being because he heard someone was making the dog lick drugs in the bathroom. I couldn't believe the owner would bring a puppy to the bar and leave it unattended. I do not feel comfortable supporting someone who treats animals that way so I won't be back.

Text - I've been to Havana caf\u00e9 before, but it's been at least 5 years or so. Long enough for me to forget that this place was forgettable, in my own opinion. Take that for what it is, I don't eat much Cuban food.\n\nI was unexcited to find that Havana caf\u00e9 didn't have any spots available to park, and the rest of the open spots in the parking lot were all labeled specifically for the next door flower shop, coffee shop, and so on. What was I to do? I risked it and parked in a flower shop spot, and well, I wasn't towed, but I still felt like I was doing something wrong by parking there :-/\n\nUltimately, I was lured back with a groupon they had available a few months ago. My first mistake was expecting that I could use my groupon to pay for meals which both totaled above $30 (the value of my groupon) and ALSO ordering additional items from their HH menu. I asked for two of their mojitos and was told that I couldn't order HH since I was using a groupon also. I obliged and let them know that water was just fine. My guess is they realized I wanted to buy my drinks in addition to our meals, and the waitress came back a few minutes later and told us she would put our drink order on a separate check. Nice save on their part - I was a bit miffed at first!\n\nMy second mistake was not realizing how excessively sweet their mojito was going to be. I saw at the bottom of the glass, what appeared to be a large spoonful of sugar. In this case, it didn't help the medicine go down. After them accommodating me with the drink order and all, I didn't want to make a big to do out of this, so I soldiered my way through my drink.\n\nI ordered a shredded beef dish, and my wife a shredded/pulled pork dish. Apparently Cuban's like bell peppers and onions a heck of a lot more than I do. The peppers and onions with my dish accounted for about 3/4th's of the meal. I ate two or three slices of the peppers and a few slices of the onion, but was not satisfied with the small amount of beef the meal came with for a sticker price of $16, and even at $8 since I was paying about half with the groupon.\n\nMy third mistake was choosing to sub their house vegetables for the beans and rice. I don't eat that many carbs, so often I will exchange potatoes, fries, rice, etc for whatever vegetable is available. The waitress explained that it was a mixture of squash, zucchini, mushrooms, and a few others. In reality, it turned out to be a few slices of squash, a few slices of zucchini, a couple of mushrooms, and guess what, a bucket load of chopped bell peppers and chopped onions. They were also nice enough to charge me extra for the substitution with the meal now totaling $18 before tax and tip.\n\nTwo $6 mojito's, two $16 meals, an upcharge for the vegetables, and a $5 forgettable appetizer (I don't exactly remember what it was at this point). I was leaving with a $65 meal after tax and tip, hey, I saved $15 on the groupon though.\n\nHappy Yelping Phoenix, I hope I made it apparent how unimpressive this spot is. Maybe you prefer pan fried peppers with a bit of beef and a side of... pan fried peppers.

Text - Awesome quality at the BEST prices!!!!  Red Star Vapor allows you to custom select and flavor your juice at prices far less than what you'd pay at any other shop.  My only regret is not finding then sooner...

Text - This is the type of place were it in NYC or Chicago it would be getting national attention as a foodie hotspot. Madison is lucky to have it...for the superb craft cocktails alone. The carnivore-centric food is often brilliant and always of good quality. Highly recommended. Beware though, the place is small and you will need to wait at peak times for seating.

Text - The food was ok. Preparation left something to be desired. Service was slow, aloof, and really not up to expectations. They even failed to bring silverware with the meals. The meat was not cooked to the requested level. We had high expectations, but left disappointed.  There are far better restaurants to choose in the area.

Text - Not very crowded like Monta, 5/5.  There is no fancy decoration 3/5 so I was not expected anything much. The waitress is very nice and helpful, 5+/5, I want to give her more than 5. Lol. Menu has many choices, I like it 5/5. The atmosphere is great, roomy and not feeling too pressure to eat fast and no need to hurry, 5/5. Ramen is tasty! I like the traditional one, meduim broth or the popular one 5/5! The heavy broth is ok because there is some after taste; but it is bad to try 4/5. The ramen has a lot of toppings 5/5. There is a complimentary small lemon ice cream serving in the end and it is surprised! I would recommend to try, it is better to wait for a long line sometime especially when you are craving a bowl of ramen.

Text - The decision to come here was based purely on our coincidental proximity to the entrance when our lunch hunger statistic went critical.  We were seated promptly and given what was some simply fantastic assorted bread.  The breads were all warm, soft, and fresh, and included a particularly yummy type I would guess is called onion-topped foccacia.  Amazingly enough, the bread was not the star of the complimentary appetizers.  They also brought out a dish with black and green olives and olive spread in the same two varieties.  The green one was enjoyable enough with quite a bit of natural kick, but the black one was pure magic.  It was almost like like secretly mixed butter into it.  I'm completely full right now but somehow this is still making me drool.\n\nWe ordered the portabello mushroom panini and the butternut squash tortelli.   Both were particularly fresh and pleasant; the pasta was probably a bit inbalanced with the few bites that had enough cheese on them being the better ones.  A very nice surprise was the fried pickles that came with the panini.  Don't cringe - these were plenty mild, probably because of the frying, and when dipped in the provided mustard sauce generated a little dose of magic.\n\nService was very prompt and attentive, and our only regret was that we couldn't eat more.  We came in with no expectations, and left plenty happy and only about $40 poorer after tip.

Text - Was excited about trying this place but the concensus of the 4 people in our party, is that this restaurant was a C (on a grading scale of A-F). Food was just ok. Service was just ok. The music at brunch is too loud and when I asked for hot sauce with my brunch order, I was told to get it myself from the Bloody Mary Bar.

Classify the case below.
this pains me to write this review--I have been to Beckett's Table several times and have always enjoyed the food, the ambiance and the service, but tonight was different.  I hope that tonite was an anomaly and the next time I go --things will be better.\n\nMet three friends for dinner, two of us ordered from the restaurant week menu and two didn't.  Things started out great-- service started out attentive and stayed that way but for the fact that various servers kept bringing plates to our table that weren't ours--this didn't happen once but three times throughout the meal so things at our table were somewhat chaotic throughout the evening.\n\nnow to the food--for my appetizer, I ordered the chicken meatballs--which I quite liked except for the fact that the sauce was very warm (temperature wise) which was good, but the meatballs were cold in the middle which detracted from the flavor of the dish.  So when one of the servers came over--I  told him that I enjoyed the dish but that meatballs were cold and they might want to do something about that for when the serve them the rest of the evening (we were there early) okay so I chalked that up to timing in the kitchen--no big deal.\n\nfor my main dish--i ordered the bass which came on some greens--this dish was not advertised as a salad--so I expected the fish to come out warm which it didn't--it was almost cold--there are only certain fish that  taste good cold or not warm and bass in my opinion was not one of them.\n\nso--i let the server know and he picked up my plate and took back to the kitchen--(at Beckett's Table the kitchen is open)--so I as I watch my fish being taken back and the waiter and Chef Beckett discuss it, the chef looked over at me and sneered.   REALLY???  I am the customer--i didn't ask for a substitution or a change in the flavor--I simply wanted the fish not to be cold--as the fish came back to me, I told the server my feelings were hurt that I should not be sneered at for simply asking for the fish be warmer than it was--he made some comments about the fact that it was served on greens--well I have to tell you I had a salmon salad at Kona Grill earlier in the day--and the salmon was warm even though it was on greens.\n\nI like Becktett's Table and have always felt it was very welcoming--but tonite had enough mishaps--that I will think about going back there.  I want to go places where I appreciate the quality of the food and the chef/owner respects that the customers are his livelihood and treat them with some level of respect.
