The 44th Street Cafe is the Radisson's excuse for a restaurant. It's located in the Radisson location which is next to the Phoenix airport, a great location for spring training ballgames. However, it's not turning into such a great experience.
The restaurant has limited choices and even more limited service. It features the breakfast bar, which is apparently its excuse not to have more wait staff. I can understand limited wait staff, especially with the numbers (or lack of) people attending breakfast here, but not their inattentiveness.
It took us 10 minutes upon seating to get menus. They did offer us tea (but not enough variety) and refills of hot water. But they did not collect our plates, which we had pushed out of the way after we had finished eating, until we were about to leave. And as the waiter picked up the plates, the knife slid off and nearly impaled me.
I now understand why too few people use this restaurant.
TWO DAYS LATER: I visited this restaurant a little later, and the greeting and service was much better. In fact, the manager even came over to talk to us after the meal, and talk about baseball. Very nice touch. I have raised the star level to 3. read more
