    After checking into our hotel on Friday evening, my sister and I decided to eat at Snappers Bar &…read moreGrill. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from the moment we sat down. We weren't greeted warmly, which normally wouldn't matter if the service and food made up for it. It didn't. After waiting quite a while just to get started, I even asked my sister if she wanted to leave. She said, "Not yet." After waiting even longer, I asked again, and she replied, "We're in too deep now." When our food finally arrived, my sister's meal had to be sent back. As the waitress walked away with it, I accidentally spilled what was left of my lemonade. The spill wasn't acknowledged by our waitress, and she never asked if I'd like another drink. Thankfully, another employee eventually helped clean up the mess and brought me a fresh lemonade. My sister's corrected meal sat ready for more than 10 minutes after we heard the kitchen bell before anyone brought it to our table. Because of the poor service, I left no tip and wrote "0.00" on the receipt. The waitress had also taken my credit card to the back to process the payment instead of running it where I could see it. Later, I realized my credit card was missing. I immediately called the restaurant and was told it wasn't there. I locked the card, and the following day multiple attempted charges were made on it. While I can't say for certain what happened, the timing was extremely concerning and left me with serious doubts about how my card was handled. I rarely leave negative reviews, but between the poor service, long waits, lack of attention, and what happened with my credit card afterward, I cannot recommend this restaurant or it's choice of Friday night live entertainment.

It's hard enough for people like myself who don't eat beef or pork, or those who are vegetarians and vegans, to find safe menu items. I tried the herb roasted potatoes instead and was disappointed by the taste.

    We were in town visiting family and made reservations at Brass Elk Brewing. I was excited to try a…read moreflight or two and had my dinner choice narrowed down by the time we got there. My daughter-in-law made reservations and when we arrived, there were no handicap spaces at all due to the 4th of July fireworks, so my son had us get out of our car and went and parked it (we drove two cars) A valet option would have been nice. When we entered, the hostess told us to sit anywhere. We told her we had reservations on the patio, so she led us outside. We realized on this very hot and sticky day that there wasn't adequate fans to help move the air, so we requested to be seated inside (remember we were told to sit anywhere) We were then told they weren't seating inside, although there was a couple tables of people inside. The place wasn't the least bit busy, so I don't know why we couldn't sit inside. I have health issues and my ankles and feet swell with humid weather, which is one of the reasons we moved to southern Arizona. I even told whoever was seating us that I would swell up but they didn't care. Keep in mind the reservations were made days in advance and we didn't know it was going to be so awful outside. The next issue was the menu. They only offered a limited 4th of July menu, so all our original choices were out the window. They were not busy when we arrived at 6 and still not busy when we left at 7, so I think their expectations were overblown. There were also another table or two seated inside, which was odd since they weren't seating inside. I will give them points for the breakfast smash burger and fries cooked in tallow. The food was good. It wasn't to-die-for, but no complaints. That's the only reason I'm giving them 2 stars. The crappy seating attitude and limited menu knocked off a star and the fact I could barely wear my sandals by the time we finished because my feet and ankles were swollen and huge knocked off another star. I guess they also don't expect people with kids to eat at their restaurant. We ordered a lemonade for the 3 year old and they brought a 16 ounce cup with an easily- removed rubber lid, which she immediately removed and spilled her drink before we could grab her. I ask the wait staff for a children's cup and they said that was it. The rubber lid counted I guess. Keep in mind our water glasses were less than half the size of their "children's" cup but they were made of glass. I'll give them a solid meh and a one finger salute for their attitude.

Our water was tap with no ice and didn't taste very good. I ordered a lemonade which was okay, but it had a paper straw with a weird texture that took away from the quality of the lemonade. I would rather them have used reusable, washable plastic/metal straws instead of the paper straws they used, especially for what is supposed to be a high-end restaurant. My fork was also dirty and not washed well enough. That's the bad out of the way, but there was definitely some upside. The food was phenomenal. The Margherita pizza was the best that I'd ever had, and the chicken parmigiana was fantastic. Everything came out fresh and hot. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful with the menu, and we had a total of 4 different workers who came up to us for one reason or another. (I didn't ask for any managers or anything don't worry lol) Overall, the food carried the experience for me. It was good enough to go back to, but getting the rickety table, dirty fork, and paper straw was very disappointing for the supposed high-end quality of the restaurant. I don't think I'll go back, hope other customers have a better experience for the price point.
