Case: Had dinner at Fred's last night.  I like the design, and a big window overlooks Scottsdale road.  Feels like being in a big city.\n\nAdvice - talk to the sales staff in the store on your way in, mention where you are headed (or mention you are considering Fred's) and they may give you a card for a free glass of wine.\n\nIt was good - expensive, but not terribly overpriced given the location.  The menu had lots of good choices - we had rigatoni with broccoli rabe recommended by the bartender, and the salmon - both were very good.   The salmon was cooked perfectly - I give them props - ever so slightly charred on the outside and moist on the inside.  When I cook salmon its usually soggy on the outside and dry on the inside.\n\nHere's my two complaints:\n\nI thought the wine list was overpriced.  But I always think the wine list is overpriced.  If I pay $10 for a glass of wine, it should be better than the $6.99 bottle I get at Trader Joes - they rarely are.\n\nAnd, in Phoenix in July, a glass of water should be automatic - it wasn't last night.  I asked twice, and never received one.

Case: Horribly rude hostess staff. Plus they kept changing the wait time.  When we put our name in, it was 15 minutes.  We ended up waiting more than an hour.  They kept seating people ahead of us who had not been there as long.  Good food but definitely not worth the rude atmosphere.

Case: The Westside Community Market is a great alternative to the Dane County Farmers Market.  It has a smaller number of vendors but the quality is excellent.  I was very pleased with the Door County cherries that I picked up today.  The less crowded atmosphere allowed you more time to browse and select the best quality produce without feeling rushed.  There are some vendors that have spots at Dane County, like Stella's and Madison Sourdough, but you get some smaller local vendors as well.  \n\nParking is easily available on the lot or on the street and you don't have pay for it, always a plus.  The atmosphere is a leisurely and laid back one where you don't feel the pressure to make hurried decisions because of the crowds pressing around you.

Case: Monday night, Tuesday night, Friday night. Doesn't matter; the food always takes FOREVER. We ordered a small pizza with some sides of ranch, and they actually never showed up.... Seriously?

Considreing the above, classify the following: Decided to try a new sandwich place in Ahwatukee. The place is in the location of an old Quiznos and it shows. The young man at the register struggled to take our order and a older woman who I am assuming is the owner let him fumble instead of stepping in. She apologized however the staff needs more training before going live. \n\nNext was the price. 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks, 1 bag of chips. ..... $25.00\n\nYou have to order by crazy names on the sandwiches. Goddess, wet willy, etc. I just want a turkey sandwich. \n\nThe owner was running sandwiches and came to our table 3 times with other people's food. \n\nThe upside is that the sandwich was good but the price and customer experience will make me go next door to Spinatos
