Case: The music tonight is very much to my taste, very traditional . Be sure you check who's playing before you come. A nice venue, intimate with good acoustics. The people working are mostly volunteers and a bit disorganized, but very nice. The bathrooms are clean and well stocked. The biggest negative is the absence of food service. We planned ahead and brought a picnic. They don't even serve coffee. How can you listen to jazz without coffee? The Nash is certainly the place in Phoenix to go for just jazz.

Case: Kelly's is a pretty average bar...better than average music on some nights. The highlights of the place for me have always been the sweet potato fries, that they carry beer from the East End brewery, and usually the company I'm with. It's a convenient location if you're coming from the Highland park area. Other food I've had there- German style bar food was decent.

Case: Went here with the family not expecting much, and came away extremely impressed and very full. What is a foodie restaurant doing in Sun City Anthem? All of the menu items were unique and different in some way, and everything tasted delicious.\n\nSome of the innovative items on this menu included a Mac N Cheese French Onion Soup, Caramel Apple Pork Chop and Spaghetti that included one 11 oz behemoth of a meatball. The house salad dressing contained reduced grape soda and an appetizer contained meatloaf wrapped inside of a spring roll. Not your run of the mill fine dining menu.\n\nAside from the wonderful food, the place is beautiful. A gorgeous view overlooks the entire city and the glasses, silverware and everything else were modern and cutting edge.\n\nOn top of everything else, the food wasn't too overpriced. I have dined at many nice restaurants where salad isn't included with entrees, which was not the case here. Vic's provided us with a reasonable priced meal at an above average eatery. I would dine here again in a heartbeat.

Case: The BBQ sauce is very good. That's about it. The pork was a bit dry and for the price, you'll think it should be better. I had the cookie as a dessert and it just taste like something out of a package.

Classify the following: I've been back to Bacchus several times since I wrote my review, and I think I'm growing fond of the place.\n\nLast time, I wrote that every time I went, the food was worse and the price was higher. That is no longer true. The prices have stabilized, and I don't know what they're doing differently in the kitchen, but the food quality is way way up from where it used to be. \n\nThey still serve ciabatta instead of baguette, which I still don't enjoy, but I've gotten over it. They have a number of really good plates that I actually look forward to. The Heirloom Beet Salad is just out of this world, as is the Lyonnaise (dinner only, unfortunately). \n\nThey finally learned how to cook a burger (hooray!) so my medium rare actually comes out medium rare.\n\nI've now been for dinner a few times, and I think I enjoy their dinner selections more than I do their lunches. That may be because I've had their lunch menu several times over and it's getting a little stale (though to their credit they do try to change it up fairly often). But the king salmon entree is wonderful, with a lovely crust and perfectly cooked fish -- not too firm, not too dry, but also not sopping raw. Perfect. My mouth just watered a little, actually.\n\nI love foie gras, but I'm not a fan of their foie. I find the preparation too sweet. Foie is already incredibly rich, so I tend to favor preparations that don't add much. Just sear it and put it on some good bread with a dab of dark fruit jam and I'll be happy. MB serves their foie on a \""vanilla bread pudding\"" with \""winter spiced pineapple balsamic.\"" It's sweet. Overly so. Then again, I had foie at Andre's and it was sweet there, as well, so I think this is just one of those things where nobody agrees with me.\n\nAnyway, I retract my earlier harshness about Marche Bacchus. You should go. You will like it.
