Text - I have now been here 3 times and my first time was great, as I stated in my first review.  But my last 2 visits have not been a pleasant experience.  I went for brunch a few months ago with a group of ladies, 25 of us, and our service was pretty terrible.  First we had confirmed the number of people in our party the day before but they still seemed unprepared for such a large party.  Our server was pretty rude as well, I swear she never cracked a smile.  Our party arrived within 30 minutes of or reservation time, some right on time others a little late and we had the large center table and 2 booths.  Our server stated after only 15 minutes and 12 of us being there that she couldn't hold the tables if we all weren't coming.  We assured her we were and everyone did show up.  It was the continual little things, not refilling water, not bringing fresh, chilled orange juice when we ordered another bottle of champagne for mimosas.  Rolling her eyes and sighing when we asked for the check to be split and never saying thank you before we left.\nLast night was so bad I won't be back.  I met with a friend for their pizza and wine special which I was super excited for.  The biggest problem was the bartender, she was rude, inattentive and totally cut corners when it came to making us happy.  We ordered a pizza and one of our toppings was goat cheese but only on one half.  When our pizza arrived it had mozzarella on one half and goat cheese on the other when the mozzarella should have been on the whole pizza.  This is a totally honest mistake and I can see where the confusion could have been in what we said and what she translated it to mean. But instead of apologizing she was a bit argumentative over what she thought we said when we ordered.  To make matters worse instead of having a new pizza made she asked the kitchen to just add the mozzarella on the side that was missing it and re-fire it.  What?!  It was charred in some places, dried out and all together simply not very good.  We were starving and contemplated sending it back, but twice in one night just seemed too much.  \nThere was a nice gentleman that worked there who asked how are pizza was, bartender chick never did, we actually had to get her attention the first time to send it back.  We were in the middle of explaining why we didn't really like it when Ms. Snarky says \""if you wanted me to have a new one made for you, you should have just asked.\""  WTF?!  I have worked in restaurants and usually when someone sends something back you remake it!  You should have done that in the first place!  She was so rude and it was really hard to even be polite to her at this point but I remained in the acting like a lady zone.  The did take it off our bill and gave us a free dessert.  Let me be clear, it was the gentleman who gave us the free dessert, he was very charming and apologetic.  If Ms. Snarky was nice about everything I wouldn't be writing off Maizies forever, but the icing on the cake was when she sat at the bar one seat down from us to eat her dinner.  I think that is very unprofessional but that wasn't what bothered me most.  The lady that took her place behind the bar and Ms. Snarky had a 10 minute bitch fest complaining about customers and how they can be such a pain in the ass.  The proceeded to regale each other with stories of how customers have annoyed them.  We paid our bill and left.  Ms. Snarky didn't say one word to us on our departure.  There are so many great places in the same area with a much nicer staff.  Those are the places I will be spending my money at.

Text - What a pleasant surprise during my recent 6-day trip to Giants Spring Training!!  I went twice this trip--the first time for dinner and another time for lunch before a game.  For dinner, I was in a large group of 8 and the restaurant couldn't have been more accomodating.  We were greeted warmly and seated on time.  Food and drink service was equally friendly and efficient.  Nothing like a few margaritas and table-side guac-to-order to put one in the mood.  Ole!!  My lunch started with a wonderful mojito and some taco sliders.  Much better than ballpark food!  [fyi food at Scottsdale Stadium is MUCH better than Salt River!!  The Rockies, however, are looking good.]\n\nThe Mission is such a find and worth repeating...hopefully, just like our Giants!!\n\nps...I felt a little underdressed at dinner in my flip-flops.  Thankfully, the room is dimly lit.  The Mission is definitely a place to impress a date!

Text - This location is by far, one of the nicest PT's Pubs I've been to.  It's in an odd industrial, airport runway across the street-like, location, but I look at it as a gem in the middle of town :)  We came here tonight to celebrate the move of a dear friend.\n\nWhen you walk in, you are reminded that the bar is and will always be the center focal point of this location.  The lighting is elegant and the smell of cigarettes isn't overpowering.  There's ample seating all around the bar and tables around the restaurant.  We took our party in a small nook in the middle of the restaurant, equipped with TVs and a fireplace.  Super cozy.  \n\nI enjoy their tall drafts of beer.  It's about 5 dollars and for me, lasts a long time.  For the party, we were treated with wings, fries and a pizza.  The pizza was a buffalo chicken pizza and the wings and fries were covered in Parmesan cheese. The bone in wings were somewhat crispy, somewhat soft.  Garlic Parmesan offered a lot of flavor and so were the fries.  I loved the pizza soo much!  Imagine having buffalo wings but in the form of a pizza.  So much flavor.  Little bit of spice, little bit of tang, little bit of heaven.  \n\nIf you're in the area, you should take a little stroll and visit this PT's.  If you're ever familiar with PT's, which if you're local, you probably are, then you will love this location.  Although PT's is a chain bar restaurant, this location is one that will impress above the others.  Enjoy!

Text - We randomly went into Five Star Tavern Saturday because we were looking for a place to play pool.  YAY for cheap pool tables.  $1 for one game or I think it was $2 for 3 games.  It was quiet.  Several people at the bar and a larger party at a table in the dining area.  Everyone was eating but I didn't stare their food down so not sure if it looked great but it did smell good.  Very quaint place.  The bartender was friendly.  Ordered 2 Bud Lights on tap...$5.00 YAY again.  Decent atmosphere and cheap drinks in Vegas are a rare commodity.  We will definitely go back for more pool and drinks.

Text - Pushiest staff I've ever encountered.  My wife and I recently purchased a new home, and had LOTS of spaces to furnish.  We spent many weekends hitting up the furniture stores along Scottsdale Road, and before going in to Thomasville we looked at their online selection and were impressed.  So... we headed to the store.\n\nWe were used to the introductions upon entering furniture stores by the sales associates, followed by the occasional \""how are you doing?\"" and \""can I help you with anything\""s.  But the salesman that greeted us here WOULDN'T LEAVE US ALONE.  He shadowed us as we walked throughout the entier store, commenting on EVERY SINGLE THING WE STOPPED TO LOOK AT.  My wife and I had ZERO opportunity to chat amongst ourselves during the entire 20-30 minutes we were in the store.  We consistently made eye contact with each other, trying to figure out how we were going to squirm away from this guy.  Finally, we escaped and needless to say, never went back or bought anything.  It's unfortunate, since their selection actually was good and we may have very well bought some major items from them.  Now, we just laugh every time we drive past the store and talk about the salesman in there that we'll never forget.

Text - I love Coldstone like no other but this place has really bad mixers.  I came in on a late afternoon weekday, no other customers to be served.  Placed my order and figured she would give it a good solid mix.  All she did was poke my brownie into my ice cream a few times, sprinkle some nuts, and called it quits.  It was sad that I had to eat all of my brownie at the beginning because it ended up all on top!

Considreing the above, classify the following: Bought broken equipment from this store about a month ago, brought it back the same day (tried to take it home twice and set it up, it didn't work properly) multiple times and the manager, Carlos, said that he couldn't do anything about it because it was \""a bad time for the store, since some guy ordered tons of equipment and never paid for it.\"" I had to keep my equipment that didn't work and sell it on Craigslist, and I could only get half of what I paid for it!!! That manager wouldn't even exchange it! we even asked for a store credit! He said no! \n\nI went home and filed a complaint with the BBB and I told them exactly what happened. \n\nToday, at about 3 in the afternoon, the manager, Carlos, called my HOME TELEPHONE and yelled and cursed at me! He said that I made the situation up, that I was a liar!! He cursed at me, and told me to \""never come in my fucking store again!\""\n\nSince I reported him, I found two new shops that are much better than AZ sea bottom and also cheaper! they answer my questions, give good deals and don't call my home and use profanity.\n\nI don't understand how any business person can get away with that? They had my number in their computer, along with my address and full name, and they used it to call me and harass me. \n\nThis store doesn't deserve 1 star, your business, or your money.\n\nGo to Aquarium arts or About the reef. They staff is more knowledgeable, prices are better, and they aren't jerks!
