Text - Went there twice on our short trip to Scottsdale because the food and service was so good. They have so many breakfast choices and the kids menu was just perfect for my two little ones. Great prices only downside for us was that they only accept cash. I had read that on here ahead of time though so it was no surprise.

Text - This location really needs to hire more workers to deal with customers in such a high traffic store especially on weekends.  Very long waits to try on clothing and pay. The lady running the fitting rooms was strange. She asked for my name and then asked if it was spelled with a K or C but didn't do anything with that information? Weird. If you can, shop at a properly staffed location.

Text - After waiting for about 1 hour for our entrees to arrive cold, I can't recommend STRIPSTEAK. It was a hassle to even find our waiter and I had to go ask the hostess for assistance twice, after we were seated. Had reservations and still had to wait for table that they were \""cleaning.\"" The table was already set up and actually was within the view of the front door where we stood waiting. \n\nI don't know if the management or the staff is to blame. Nothing at Mandalay was impressive and this was the worst. Even after they apologized for the time, the steak that was sent out cold was just reheated and therefore not the medium rare we requested. What kind of steakhouse sends out a cold porterhouse?! Why waste this cut of meat?

Text - I and a friend stopped by Tasty Joe's for dinner today. We got three different dishes, all with chicken and white rice - \nEggplant Tofu in Garlic Sauce (Chinese Eggplant, Tofu, Scallion in Tangy Garlic Sauce)\n\nStir-Fry Mixed Vegetables  (Garlic Ginger Wine Sauce, Broccoli, Carrot, Zucchini, Napa Cabbage, Celery, Mushroom)\n\nCousin Thai (Chili Pod, Onion, Scallion, Red Pepper, Peanut, Cilantro)\n\nThe mixed- veggies were tasty, if nothing mind-blowing. My friend really liked the Cousin Thai, and I will be making a repeat vist, because their Eggplant Tofus is made of *delicious*.

This place lacks refinement and peripheral dish expertise...it is an attempt to be a high end place that in the end disappoints like so many of these hyped out places that are located in the casinos...this is why i love double eagle they are a stand alone business that doesn't rely on gamblers to bring in clients they do it on their reputation and word of mouth....I would say the Carmel room gets a D- grade from me only reason its not an F is because the steaks and chops were ok.

Classify the case below.
On the upside--when you order the scallops here, you get more than you would expect at any other restaurant.  On the downside--they were gritty.  :-(  The dessert (chocolate hazelnut cake & banana crepes) were amazing and perfect & the trio of hummos was excellent.  Unfortunately, my husbands salmon was so-so, at best.  The fish itself was OK, but it was sitting on this repulsively bland pile of something that constituted half the dish.  I think it might have been squash, but I can't even say for sure.  \n\nIt's a great location, with a fun, busy atmosphere, so it's really disappointing that the food kind of misses the mark.  Or, at least, the food that we had missed the mark.
