Judy I.   -   Wonderful! Their Italian Stallion pizza is delicious. The pizza is cooked in a authentic brick oven imported from Italy. Their homemade cheesecake is superb. I haven't tried anything else on the menu, but it sure looks good when the server walks by with it. Don't even attempt to go here on a Friday or Saturday night without having to wait. Nice atmosphere, although small, it's nice and cozy! Outdoor seating in the cooler weather. Located in old downtown Glendale. Really special place for a date night. less

origamisteve222   -   WORST PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD TO CONSUME!!! I ordered delivery last night(3/25/12) just before they closed at 8pm. The only reason we ordered from here was for a friends b-day who told us this place was great from his previous visits. He was unfortunately, terribly wrong. To add salt to the wounds the pizzas I ordered were outrageously expensive at $45($36 for pizza) total including delivery charge and tip. We ordered a large "Super six"(sausage, pepperoni, ham, mushroom, green peppers, & mozzarella) and a small pepperoni. It was more like the Super disgusting pizza, the crust tasted like over-cooked, stale, cardboard similar to that of a $1 Totinos FROZEN pizza. The sauce has a strange tangy flavor to it and the toppings were flavorless. Not only that but it took them over 45 minutes from start to finish to deliver it(we live 4 miles from them). My friend who raved about the pizza even said it didn't taste the same. My partner and I were polite and ate the pizza in front of him but once he left we threw away the leftovers.(which was quite a lot) Not only that but they show off some 2008 "Best food winner" from the Scottsdale culinary festival. All I know for sure is those judges probably had absolutely no taste buds. They aren't open today(monday) but believe me, I'm calling to complain tomorrow and ask for a refund. less

crankypants   -   Capital Grille: I've got a bone to pick with you... and it’s not going to be pretty… After an unusually tiring work-week my husband and I decided to drop a large chunk of change on a nice dinner in the Biltmore area. Fully prepared to spend about $100.00 per person we decided to check out our options. Sadly, the Camelback Esplanade appears to have been devastated by the bad economy (or high rents) and both McCormick’s & Schmick's and Houston’s have both shuttered their doors. The only restaurant still thriving on the South Side of Camelback is Bistro 24 at the Ritz-Carlton - and hindsight being 20/20 we should have dined there. Instead we decided to pass through the underground bridge to the Biltmore Fashion Park and try our luck there. We passed up the Black Chile, Stingray Sushi, Christopher’s and Season’s 52 before settling on the Capital Grille. We walked through the bar area at Season’s 52 and I will say that the atmosphere there was more “Capital Grille-esque” than the Capital Grille. If there would have been seats available at that gorgeous bar with the piano player tucked behind it, we could have avoided the whole ensuing fiasco at the Capital Grille, but the hostess informed us that the wait was at least 45 minutes for a table for two. So, we settled on the Capital Grille. The doors were opened for us by some nice-looking young men and we were seated right away. So far, so good, we thought…. Unfortunately, once we were seated the problem started. After pushing the (very average) Pineapple Martini on me (no drink menu provided) our blonde ponytailed server came back for our order. I had already eaten a very late lunch but my husband was starving – so I planned to order light and my husband was going to go for one of the many heavy protein items on the menu. After my husband ordered a bottle of Cabernet and some fried squid (the so-called Pan-Friend Calamari with Hot Cherry Peppers), we placed our orders for the meal. He ordered the Roasted Chicken and two sides – Grilled Asparagus and Parmesan Truffle Fries. I ordered the Lobster Bisque and the Wedge Salad as my main course, unknowingly setting off a chain of events which was to ruin our evening. As soon as she realized I ordered the Wedge Salad as my main course, our server was visibly miffed. Apparently, she thought I was a “cheap date” and turned on her heel, rudely cutting me off and walking away. Now, after five years of marriage, I am not trying to impress my husband by eating light (that stopped after the 2nd date or so). Nor was I being cheap. I had eaten a large lunch and honestly, the only thing on the menu that made my mouth water was the Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese and Applewood Bacon. Maybe I was just being paranoid, I thought. Not wanting to jump to conclusions I quizzed my husband about whether he detected attitude from our waitress. Being British, my husband happens to be able to detect a snub, even a subtle snub, because in case you weren’t aware the “Snub” originated in Great Britain where it is both a time-honored tradition and a national past-time. He had definitely gauged her reaction as well. Suddenly, the whole ambiance of the place faded. What was supposed to be a splurge and an exciting date-night was turning lackluster. The nasty-arsed blonde waitress had fouled our mood. No sooner had she strode away than I noticed that the glassy eyes of a mounted deer’s head were staring straight at me from the wall to my left. Just behind the doe was a giant moose’s head in the bar. I turned to the right, and there was a mounted ram’s head, antlers and all. Now, I’m not a squeamish vegetarian (I was quite looking forward to the Applewood Bacon on my salad) but the excessive taxidermy was starting to sicken me. Then, straight ahead, was some giant portrait of an old stodgy white guy. Who wants to sit and eat while looking at mounted animal heads and portraits of Newt Gingrich while simultaneously behind treated like crap by your server? At that point my husband and I decided that we were leaving. Screw it. The kitchen had surely already fired the Calamari so we decided we would eat that just to be respectful, and then cancel everything else and take our wine to-go. Both of us agreed - life is too short to be treated poorly when you’re dropping this kind of money on a meal. The Calamari arrived and it was literally overwhelming. It was this heaping hot mess (which could have served five) redolent of the onion rings you get at Burger King with a can of jalapeños tossed in at the last minute and then dumped on a plate. The server had apparently been instructed to try to serve the calamari onto our appetizer plates, and struggling with her utensils, she dropped the breaded, deep fried calamari rings on the table while managing to get at least a few onto our plates. As she walked away, we wondered, was this purposeful as well? We decided that it wasn’t intentional and that she was just clumsy as well as too lazy to pick up the calamari strewn about the table. We tried to cheerfully eat the mountain of calamari but the “hot cherry peppers” sent me into a sneezing fit. I told my husband that I didn’t want to make a scene (I hate confrontation) and that we shouldn’t make a big deal out of leaving. Fortunately, the kitchen gave us the excuse we needed. Apparently, they had run out of Roasted Chicken. My husband told the server that because they were out of Roast Chicken and he had high cholesterol that we were going to cancel our order and leave. At this point, the waitress tried to argue that in fact the Roasted Chicken was indeed very high in cholesterol . At this point started to pipe up and tell her we were leaving because she appeared to be disgusted by my lack of spending - but my husband held up his hand to silence me. He diplomatically reiterated that we were leaving and to cancel our order and cork our bottle of wine. At this point she stated that the next time we wanted to come to the Capital Grille we should call ahead and let them know that we would be ordering chicken so that they would have enough on hand. Really? Call ahead to say you’ll be ordering the chicken?? As our waitress packed up our Cabernet in the “to-go” bag I could overhear the waitress at the adjacent table stay “How was it? Good stuff, Huh?” while she was serving coffee. Apparently, our server wasn’t the only one recently pinched from Denny’s. Thus ended our night at the Biltmore. My husband was still hungry and I tried to persuade him not to give up on date night. Maybe we could hit Zinburger for some sliders? He wasn’t having it. So we left for home. It is really sad when a landmark like Capital Grille ends up being so disappointing. Needless to say, we will not go back again. While it is true that we left because of the disappointing front of house service, if the Calamari was any indication, the back of house is in terrible shape as well… You would get better fare at Chili’s or Outback Steakhouse – and for 1/3rd the price. less

Anonymous   -   I love burgers, so when my fiance and I heard of this new burger place, we decided to give it a try, a decision we would later regret, sadly. When we got there, we waited about about 5 minutes for our food, which was ok, but when we received our food, I wish they had spent more time and effort on it. The bread was cold, the cheese were cold, the burger looked as if it wasn't fully cooked, and some of the fries were black, literally. My fiance's favorite sauce is ranch, and he couldn't use it because it tasted so terrible. We couldn't even finish the burgers before tossing them. I would say it wasn't the worst burger I ever had, but I can't since I don't remember the last time I had a burger that bad. I don't recommend this place, at all. McDonald's has better burgers than this place. less

Matt N.   -   My wife and I attended meal on memorial day 2010 about 6.30pm... Pros: NONE Cons: 1. BUGS on dining table!!! 2. Salad bar was weak. It had definatly been sitting there a long time..and it was only 6:30. 3. WAY OVERPRICED...we were charged $59 just for the salad bar. 4. Rare meat very mediocre, all other meats over cooked, highly fatty, and DRY (Chicken, sausage, lamb chops, leg of lamb, sirloin). 5. Cheep meat. Strong and gamey. We are big meat eaters, and we know quality. Lamb defiantly not American lamb...and the beef tastes like it came out of a swamp. 6. The wine: We are wine drinkers.I expected the wine to be decanted...but the stuff we bought seemed like it had been opened and sitting open for a couple of days. And when I said it wasn't good, they came back with more. It was obviously out of the same bottle. Moreover, after we found the bugs on the table they refused to refund our bill. My wife and I were ready to puke after we found this. We were told we could talk to the manager, and he refused to talk to us. I can just imagine what Bugs (ie roaches) are crawling around the kitchen. This place is the worst of the worst... less
