Case: First, a man who I thought was our waiter came up and said \""Can I get you something to drink?\"" and abruptly walked away before I could answer. He proceeded to take empty glasses from another table, and I didn't see him again. Then our actual waitress came over and took our orders. I ordered the roasted spring vegetables and the baby back ribs. The chef completely doused the veggies in vinegar and they were extremely sour. The ribs were a little too dry. \n\nWhile eating my ribs, the waitress came over and explained how I could eat them.  ? Not really sure why this happened. \n\nI won't be going back. Brazwell's is sooo much better, and the prices are better there too.

Case: We decided to give the re-opened San Remo a try. I was encouraged by the number of cars parked outside, but it seems they were parked here for another business. Or maybe all the staff were taking up the spots. Because other than the staff, the place was nearly empty. Never a good sign during the dinner hour, but hey - it's only just re-opened... right?\n\nIt turns out breakfast is only served from 10pm -11am during the week. That's ok, I just have the expectation of breakfast anytime from a diner kinda place like this. But it's not a deal-breaker or anything. I went with a gyro instead. I payed extra for the plate which comes with greek salad. Took a sip of my coffee - there was a sticky substance all around the rim of the mug. Ew! I asked for a new coffee in a to-go cup. Strangely enough, the coffee was actually quite good... but everything else was disappointing. The gyro meat was thin steak-um-style greasy strips, the tsaziki was forgotten, and once remedied tasted like sour cream with some chopped garlic stirred in there. The fries were ok. The greek salad was generous with the olives and feta, but turns out they DON'T HAVE GREEK DRESSING. Um... wtf? I'm pretty sure you can't have a greek salad without greek dressing. \n\nFor now, I'm giving San Remo 2 stars just because it's 24-hour, and sometimes at 3am you're just happy to have a place that will feed you and keep the coffee coming.

Case: It's easy to see why Total Wine has become the best place to go for all your alcohol needs in Vegas. As the name suggests they have a huge selection of wine but it doesn't stop there. They also have a large selection of beers, liquors, mixers, and just about anything else you would need to drink your purchases. They also have some of the lowest prices in the valley, tasting on the weekends, a helpful and knowledgable staff, a keg room, a humidifier, and wine classes. There's no place that can compare with Total Wine, it makes you feel like a kid in a candy store.\n\nTotal Wine is huge! I could try and describe the size of this place but in order to get a sense of how big it really is you need to go in person, but I warn you, don't expect to come out empty handed. I'm sorry Lee's but there's a new big kid in town.

Case: I've been several times and as a general rule really enjoy The Yard for drinking and good times. I haven't been to Cleo's for the seafood, but am excited to give it a try. I think Culinary Dropout is basically good. The mussels are usually a strong performer and I will order them with a side of roasted tomatoes. Really, I think sitting at the bar and ordering the tomatoes and bread is a pretty good thing. \n\nWhat makes this place really a great addition to the neighborhood and Phoenix as a whole is the backyard area that offers both fun activities (ping pong, bean bags, etc.), drinks (I really like when the beer tent/stand is open) and good people watching. Be warned, taking advantage of the nice beer selection will eventually ruin your ping pong abilities.\n\nProblems? Sure, everyplace has problems. The thing that really starts to wear on you after a little bit are the kids that take over the game areas. I get it, mom and dad want to go out and have a nice time and the yard has space that kids can (should they??? A much, much bigger question) run around. Fine. I'm just saying that there is some sort of chart or graph that could be developed incorporating: drinks consumed, relative parenting skill, time of day/night, propriety of having your kids at what transforms into more bar than restaurant and way more of both than playground. I'm no stat wizard so somebody will have to work out the details. I have had a kid running way beyond restaurant speed knock the (somewhat pricey) full beer out of my hand. His parents are officially out of the running for parent of the year.   \n\nAll told, The Yard is a great addition to what is becoming a very nice area for bars and restaurants near Bethany Home Rd.

Case: I love crepes and this is a good place to get your crepe fix. Their Crepe menu is pretty big and you will definitely find something to your liking. \n\nI came here on a Sunday and luckily I made it before the rush came in. Once the rush was in around 12p there was a wait averaging 10-15 minutes. This wait can be eternity especially after a good night out in the city. \n\nI would definitely come back and maybe next time try a sweet Crepe

Case: Avoid this horrible company at all cost!  Bait and switch.? Well yes.  Are some of the employees  sacks of  fibbing poop? Well yes. Horrible and dishonest employees? ...well hell yes.\n\nWhere the story  begins, Priceline quote of $24 a day for 4 days, $150 after all taxes and fees with waiver of ripoff insurance.  They ask for flight number and estimated tme of pickup. Information given and ready to pick up minivan at 9:30 am.\n\nGet to Payless about 10 am, 3 people in line, 2 customer service people working.  Wait 40 minutes in line, get to counter and show printout of my reservation.  She finds it and then says oh there is a problem, you are late and we gave your minivan away.  We are  out of regular minivans. However, she can upgrade me to a larger van.  No mention of a charge.\n\nOh and by the way, would you like us to fill up your tank for $2.95 a gallon instead of filling it up yourself at $4 a gallon. That would be nice I say.  I decline the insurance which she says is a very bad decision.  Ok ready to go, print the contract and away I go... Wow my bill is $422.\n\nExcuse me but my priceline receipt is $150   That's before the upgrade to the bigger van and the $60 you agreed to for the prepaid gas.  After a lengthy discussion, we agree to take off the gas charge. She never mentioned the prepaid part, must have been an oversight.  Why would I not want to save $1 a gallon? I can be a little dense, it seems.\n\nSo explain again why I am being charged for the upgrade?  It's because I am late. How much would it have been if I was not an hour late?  She says $175.  I say what happened to the $150?  She says that's just an estimate of the taxes etc..you don't know the taxes until you get here. That there internet computer is not as accurate as the computer in Las Vegas. \n\nHmmm. I will not pay for the upgrade, you should charge me for the original minivan price.  Ok sir. Just sit down over there and when a minivan comes in, we will clean it and you can enjoy your vacation. That pretty much is enough. It's time to talk to a manager.  Ok I will try, but he is a very busy man. She walks into the back room.\n\nLess than 30 seconds later she pops back out all by herself. Low and freaking behold, a miracle has just happened....a minivan just checked in.  Good news for all, no need to talk to a busy manager.\n\nI've been here over an hour, so I sign the paperwork and head down to get the minivan. I paid the $175 just to move on with my life.  In the garage they show me my minivan. Oh by the way kind sir, when did this van get checked in.  It was here this morning when I got to work, he replied.  That's weird. Starting to doubt my miracle.\n\nNow I take the time to read the entire contract and how lucky Can I be? For the low, low price of $4.95 a day, I bought roadside protection.  I am protected from the roadside. That seems to explain a few things..  What a nice company,  enjoy your next Payless rental.

Considreing the above, classify the following: I have just purchased a sectional sofa from here for our family room, they offered us next day delivery which I thought at the time was great being that it was just before the Christmas Holliday. Well everything looked great until I really had a chance to spend time looking at it on my first day off, which was 5 days later and I noticed two strange faded like spots one on the back of the sofa which is covered by the throw pillows and the other by where the fold of your legs would hit. At first I thought it was just the sun making a shadowing effect but I was wrong. We called the room store customer service and they sent someone out 5 days later, and then they followed up with a call telling us it was normal wear! REALLY! I didn't even have it for a week! The sale person was the manager at the store his name was jack, although he was polite they DO NOT!  Stand behind there furniture, I would never shop, buy, or tell anyone to buy, or even look at anything in this store ever! They are very unprofessional when it comes to standing behind there product. Very unhappy! Jacque
