Text - West Valley's newest sushi restaurant. Truly excited to bring the entire family! \n\nPROS:\n1. Good location. Close to home.\n2. Nice venue and presentation.\n3. Large enough for big celebrations.\n4. Special rolls I ordered were well presented and tasty.\n5. Good kids menu with appropriate portions.\n6. Sake was pricey, but excellent.\n\nCONS:\n1. Brought the entire family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children). Asked if they had a happy hour menu and told yes. Sat down and presented with the happy hour menu only to find out that the sushi had to be purchased at the \""bar only\"". Very disappointing!!! Every other restaurant has a happy hour that extends to the main dining area. Was I to move my entire family with kids to the sushi bar area?\n\n2. Ordered two handrolls of spicy scallops topped with tobiko. The first was brought out with what looked like pureed \""something\"", but was reassured it was their version of the scallop handroll. Told the 2nd roll would be brought out shortly due to them running out of scallops. 25 minutes later, the 2nd spicy scallop handroll was delivered with what actually appeared to look like a traditional spicy scallop handroll. \n\nThe 1st TASTED like pureed \""something\"". The 2nd actually tasted like a spicy scallop handroll. Unfortunately, both were disappointing! \n\n3. Not competitively priced, compared to their local competition. Nigiri sushi is priced individually at this restaurant. Most others are priced for 2 pieces.  \n\n4. I normally spend a minimum of $120-150 including tip for my family of 5 when we're out for sushi. For the quantity and quality at this restaurant, I was not happy to pay the bill.\n\n5. Someone (not a manager) asked how our experience was. Although he denied being a manager, he was more than willing to listen to my constructive criticism. While I appreciated the mindful ear, it still won't change the fact that I'll probably never go there again, nor refer our numerous family friends. There are too many other family friendly options in the area.\n\n6. Extremely slow service. The restaurant wasn't busy, having only been open 1 month. Yet, with all the staff available, it seemed very odd that our service was slow.\n\nIn this economy, I am shocked at the overall service and quality received. I definitely would not recommend. There are too many other options in the area.\n\nMy review extends to the sushi menu only.  We did not try the teppanyaki grill area.

Text - Just happen to stop by this place and very surprised by the good quality of food.  My burger had a perfectly toasted bun and the quality of meat was excellent. I also order ed some of their homemade potato chips and they were excellent as well. The owner is a former chief at some very high end restaurants in Scottsdale and it shows  I will be back

Text - Nitemare. Never been a huge fan of the franchise but most could execute the basics. Not this one. Rafts of staff wondering around aimlessly, lotsa phone chat and grab ass, poor training. Some folks seemed to care, but most thought they were at Dominos. If all they want to do is takeout they should shutter the dining room and move on.

Text - Delicious, mouth watering fajitas. Outstanding service and even better margarita's. I'm a Mexican food consumer and have eaten at many authentic places from Las Vegas all the way to mexico. So far this is good in Vegas!

Text - I've been searching for a restaurant that follows the true Naples (Napoli) tradition of pizza making for quite a while.  In my journey I've discovered that it really comes down to the quality of ingredients, coupled with an oven that is made of the right materials, and is heated in a proper way.\n\nI'm happy to say that Settebello has NAILED it.  Their pizza is as close to a true Neapolitan pizza as you can get, short of traveling to Naples itself.  Slightly crispy on the bottom, soft on the top, and chewy delicious.  The authentic flavor of tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, olive oil and basil - it doesn't get any better.\n\nThe owner went out of his way to bring you a true taste from the birthplace of pizza, and it shows.  Though they offer more styles of pizza than what is traditionally available (to suit the expectations of an American market probably), they do it within reason, and they keep it delicious.\n\nLiterally everything we had there was great, from the prosciutto, to the caprese, to the absolutely perfect margherita pizza.  If you want that Naples authentic pizza without having to travel to Italy, this is as close as you can get.\n\nPro tip - stick to the marinara or margherita pizza if you want a true taste of Naples.... and for the love of all things holy, get the basil-wrapped prosciutto drizzled with their house balsamic.  You will cry tears of joy.

Text - The only good parts are that the bathroom has hot water and you get a free drink when you get a roll of quarters. Unfortunately you need a code to get in and it has no soap, toilet paper or towel/dryer and it's painted black. It isn't that dirty except for the bathroom sink. It's more expensive than the others I've been to in the area. They have 3 TVs all showing the same thing and won't change one even if no one is watching any of them.

Text - Good, friendly, attentive service.  Generous portions.  Good pizza.  Even yummier garlic sourdough bread with real butter while I waited for my pizza.  I thought it took a little too long for my pizza to arrive but maybe that's because I was hungry, and was fighting the urge to gobble all the bread before the pizza arrived and I found myself too full to do more than taste it.  A \""small\"" pizza is way too big for one person--it lasted 3 days (but no complaints about that--it was still good pizza on day three).\nMy only complaint is that the restaurant is painfully noisy, even when I'm not having one of my hyper-acute hearing days.

Text - 04/08 update - sauce, mozzarella and basil all top notch, but the crust was like cardboard.\n\nThis rapidly expanding pizzeria franchise originated in Brooklyn and currently operates 6 restaurants in Arizona and Las Vegas.  Prior to departing for this trip I signed my wife up for their e-newsletter and she subsequently received a certificate for a free large one item pizza as a birthday gift.   We chose the white pizza with fresh tomatoes.  The place was very busy so it took a while for the pizza to be served and we immediately noticed a piece was missing.  The manager accidentally dropped a piece on the floor while slicing our pizza. Rather having us wait for another pizza to be prepared, they served us the original and offered to prepare a personal pizza.  I protested and told him we probably wouldn't be able to finish the pizza anyways and couldn't take the second pizza with us since we were on vacation.  The pizza was very good, but the crust was not quite as crisp or tasty as those prepared on Wooster Street in New Haven.  J

Classify the following: I was a little embarrassed to admit to my co-workers that I REALLY wanted to eat lunch at Nordstrom Cafe! To my surprise they were equally as delighted and it was a nicer alternative to the hum drum food court experience. \n\nThe cafe is located on the third floor of Nordstrom's right next to the young women's clothing department. I adore Nordstrom Cafe in my hometown of Honolulu and was very happy to see that the quality was right on par. I always order the angel hair pasta with spicy shrimp and it was EXACTLY what I expected. I always request that there be no spice added and they were more than happy to accomodate! Move over McDonald's because Nordie's has got the duplication process down to another level! \n\n(Photo: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cafe-nordstrom-scottsdale?select=8KOO0n8EuWaUWGK_Ha4Z3g#8KOO0n8EuWaUWGK_Ha4Z3g)\n\nAlthough the restaurant was smaller than I expected, service was wonderful, food was delicious and the only thing which went wrong was they got my friend's order mixed-up. But of course in true Nordstrom Cafe fashion, they apologized profusely and fixed it right away. You are my cafeteria style home away from home Nordstrom Cafe!!!\n\n31 Yelps Challenge: #10/31
