Re: Durant's

Last I heard was an early December opening. I would think that should be achieveable, if we're to belive that not much of the dining room and bar would be touched.

And I agree, the place doesn't need the cutting edge tremds in the steakouse market (most of which are gimmicks in one way or another ...

Re: Uchi - What to Expect?

My wife and I dined at Uchi on Thursday night two weeks ago for our Anniversary and had a good, if uneven, experience. We were planning on opting for the Omakase, but was interested to learn that they also offer a more diner-selected option at any price-point. Our waitress was impressed however with ...

Re: Devour Phoenix - Thoughts?

Bumping this thread back to the top to see if there's any interest in a follow up.

Attended VIP entry on Sunday only this year, and boy, Dom's criticism above was still dead on. Lots of booze, fewer restaurants, particularly independents, and while most of the food was quite good, it really felt ...

Fiamme is very good, right up there with the best Phoenix Neapolitan pizzas. The room is a bit odd though, and my feeling is that it was ...

Re: Source - Urciuoli Doin' His Thing in Gilbert

Posting a quick review of Source, partly to remind everyone of how great this spot is, but also to spite the way too numerous bad reviews of this place that you'll find on other forums (the dumb ones, like Yelp and Google).

Re: Buqui Bichi (Downtown Phx)

My family and I just visited the Chandler location last Friday night, not so much for the food (although I was intrigued by the menu), but because I saw they had live music and wanted to try their beer.

As you might expect for a Friday night in downtown Chandler, the place was hopping. I didn't get ...
