    We were not really impressed with this place at all. We went there to have dinner before a show at ASU Gammage. Knowing that it was Superbowl Sunday, we did expect a noisy restaurant, and we were ok with the noise level. The women's restrooms were disgusting. It appeared that all of the toilet paper holders were broken, so the rolls of paper were either on the filthy floor or hanging on the purse hooks on the door. In all of the stalls. We were seated right away (we had reservations). We waited for several minutes before a server came to us. We ordered our food and literally waited 35 minutes before the food was delivered. We had to leave to get to the show on time, so we asked to pay the bill when the waitress brought our food. Right after she left us, we realized that my Chicken Caesar Salad was not right- it was just a regular house salad. The server never came back to check on us, so it was impossible to complain about my order being wrong. This is not a place we will be returning to, and we would definitely not recommend to anyone.

    We booked through OpenTable. The restaurant stated that they no longer use it. We were brought to filthy tables and had to be reseated. The menu was not what was online as they recreated the menu for the “live event” that weekend. We politely left. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

    We arrived for our party of 3 6 PM reservation and were told they were closed for a private event. I asked why they allowed a reservation to be made when they could not honor it and they told me it wasn’t their problem, take it up with Open Table. I will NOT return. Rude staff.
