I think our search for the absolute best hamburger continues, but Bonfire was a stop we enjoyed!

Parking can be a challenge, especially during peak hours. If the main lot is full, you can usually find additional parking in the nearby Costco lot and walk over. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made for a great experience. The wine tasting area is much smaller than the Avondale location, which has a much larger and more spacious setup. During our visit, we learned about the bonus bottle program and received helpful wine recommendations and tasting tips, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. If you're looking for a quieter visit, I recommend going during the week when it's less crowded. My only suggestions would be to expand the wine tasting area and improve the parking situation. Otherwise, it's a great place to enjoy a tasting and learn more about wine!

That being said, ambiance is obviously a personal preference and it definitely didn't take away from the great service or our overall experience. We really like this little spot and had a great time here. We'll definitely be returning!

The Hostess had asked if we were celebrating anything. Yes. My wife's birthday. Arthur took our orders. My wife had surf and turf and I had the 9 ounce fillet with a loaded baked potato. We both had basically house wine at $10.00 per glass. The house salad came with both swimming in our respective dressings. We were each able to down a few bites before putting them aside. Entrees arrived in a timely manner. My wife enjoyed everything on her order. Steak done to order and tasty shrimp. My center cut fillet was not a good cut. It did not melt in my mouth. Way too chewy. I ordered medium rare. The cook was uneven and way too much salt in the seasoning. The baked potato was also extremely over salted. Disappointing for a "steakhouse". I did not mention anything to Arthur until after I had already paid the check because I was not looking for a discount. Oh yes! When we came in, I was asked about the special occasion. My wife's birthday. When we sat down, one of the staff stopped and wished her a happy birthday. Then nothing. It was not mentioned again. Why ask if you are not going to do something? Sing a song. Offer a discounted dessert. But nothing. I admit to scratching my head on that. Bottom line. My wife enjoyed it. Me? Not so much with the exception of Arthur. We will probably try it one more time as there is a 50/50 chance I'll like it.

The dining area was not busy with just 3-4 tables occupied and a few people at the barstools. I was seated quickly by a hostess and given two menus while waiting for my friend to arrive. Menu: it's about the size of a Sears Catalog (exaggeration but about 8+ pages front and back) and appears to serve food approved by the United Nations (food from different parts of the world). This is the type of menu Gordon Ramsey would go crazy over and shred to pieces. Portions are not larger than before but prices increased considerably! Food: I ordered a Veggie Omelette with Spinach added and Whole Wheat Toast, decaf coffee, and water. My friend ordered an all-meat skillet, sourdough toast, coffee, and water. The omelette/skillet was overcooked and dry. My friend sent back his toast because it was served with a MOLD SPOT on it. Our server was not swayed by the mold and replaced it. No apologies or contact from the managers. By this point, we just didn't want to finish what we ordered and left. Dining room is well lit and spacious. Lots of available seating but could not help that their "Grand Opening" sign has been hanging outside for WEEKS. Servers are slow and never seem to be pleasant (more melancholy). Overheard one server speaking with some guests at a table using profanity. This review was based on my individual experience. This used to be our favorite breakfast spot but clearly is no longer the case. Having watched the gradual decline in quality and service, I am no longer inspired to spend my money at AZ Diner.

I've been a fan of First Watch for a while, having visited several locations around the area. Unfortunately, my recent visit to the Surprise location didn't quite live up to my expectations. The food was still good, with fresh ingredients and flavorful dishes. However, the service was slower than I remembered, even on a non-busy day. What struck me most was that the spark that made my first visits to different First Watch locations so memorable was missing. The staff seemed friendly enough, but the overall experience felt a bit flat. I hope this was just an off day, as I'd love to see First Watch return to its usual high standards. Still worth a visit for the food, but hoping for a more energetic and attentive service next time. read more

I had such a great experience with my server, Jessica! Even though I found a hair in my food, she handled the situation with so much kindness and professionalism. She immediately offered to remake the entire plate, and when she returned, she told me she had taken it off the bill, which I honestly didn't expect at all. That was incredibly thoughtful. Jess was attentive, accommodating, and so sweet throughout my visit. She truly turned what could've been an unpleasant situation into a positive one. Thank you, Jessica, for your amazing service! read more
