Text - I recently went to Carnevino on a friends recommendation and was blown away. The arugula and goat cheese salad was incredible, and the cheeze puffs were as good as they get. I have never been a lamb chops fan, but i am now addicted to them because of this place. The wine was impeccable as well as the service. Go Carnevino!!!!!

Text - there are no managers around when you want to complain. The first room had a mildew smell. second room had problem with the A/C. Coffee costs $3.50...not free. a jr suite is just two rooms with a connecting door. Don't opt for that upgrade. Furniture was just left in the hallway. water is not hot. get the north tower. east tower is not as good.

Text - The only reason I'm giving this a 2 stars is because of their delicious salmon burger. \nOther than that, the service sucked, portions were extremely small, a 15$ salad only included lettuce, cucumbers and shredded carrots. The fries ordered were soggy and also small portion. \nOverall very disappointed.

Text - I got my piercing here...Now I LOVE my tattoos, but I don't see the needle. I was really nervous and I mean it wasn't that much of a dare-devil piercing either, simply just my belly. But even when I seen the needle I hesitated. My best friend came with me and she was trying to calm me down but I am a big wimp when it came to me laying there waiting. I forgot my piercers name but him and my bf were talking the whole time. He told me he'd count to 3 and do it, but just a simple 1 and then POKE! 2 and then 3..We were DONE! :)\n\nClean and friendly.

Considreing the above, classify the following: One of my favorite restaurants in Phoenix just so happened to have a great Groupon deal, so other than wanting to go, I could now go and save some $s too. After a long week of work, more specifically a 13 hour day, I had high expectations. \n\nIt wasn't a terrible dinner but to me, loving my cocktail more than both entrees is a bit of a letdown. Maybe its my fault for wanting to try things on the menu I wouldn't normally try? Regardless, a meal that would have cost us $125 without the groupon, is a meal that I expect to be wowed by. \n\nCrab and avocado foam salad- it was like a fancy seafood salad. Something about the texture just wasn't doing it for me. It reminded me of something you would buy at the deli counter at Fry's. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't worth $15 either. \n\nThe wild striped bass was actually delicious- on top of yummy, cheesy rissotto. The bass was crisped on the edges but great flavor. I do think it was a tad over cooked but completely bearable. But the sides... Normally I'm a big fan of broccolini but this broccolini was terrible. Bitter to the point of being inedible. And there were 4 sad strips of skinny green beans that did absolutely nothing for the dish. \n\nThe house-made linguine... The pasta alone with some butter would have been a better dish than the sherry vinegar sauce it came in. I get the idea of the dish, some people like sour noodles, and might get off from the pretentiousness of it. I guess it just wasn't for me. \n\nThe star of the evening: \nnoca Royale $14\nSchramsberg \""Blanc de Blancs\"" Seasonal Fruit, St. Germain Liqueur\nThe best cocktail I have ever had. I'm always a fan of bevy's with St. Germain Elderflower Liquer- it always adds such a great flavor to drinks. But this drink... Oh man. The seasonal fruit was fresh white peach puree. I would go back to Noca and just throw back a couple of these and munch on the cotton candy and chocolate chip short bread they give you, for free, at the end.
