Our drinks were brought out to us promptly. I ordered the ceviche de camarón o pescado. I couldn't decide between shrimp or fish. So the server said he'll do half and half for my order. Problem solved! My friend got the Botana de camarón cosida. Both dishes were refreshing. Mine had a great citrus punch to it. Definitely lots of lime! You'd think it would be all that filling. Just some fish and some shrimp. But there was so much on the plate, I was DEFINITELY full! Even left a little on the plate. The place was nicely decorated. Very kitschy Mexico street stand vibes. No overly loud music or tv blaring. Could talk easily over lunch without yelling at each other.

Only downside is that…read morefor some reason Apple maps was not accurate to finding the location and parking was a challenge as it is right on Roosevelt Row. However as soon as I found it and immediately after entering Pretty Penny I was transformed to the cutest little restaurant. I was greeted immediately and had made a reservation so even though my friend hadn't arrived yet, they sat me down. They instantly offered water and menus (food and cocktail). I noticed that the menu seemed very small and the dishes were shareable -- I don't eat meat so I was hoping my friend wouldn't mind sticking with fish and seafood (which she didn't). As soon as I got to my table there was the cutest sign that said welcome to Sarah Sherman and guest -- it was such an adorable and personal touch, I loved that! As soon as my friend got there we immediately both ordered the cold brew old fashioned -- we thought about the espresso martini but this just sounded too good to pass up -- and we were not disappointed! This drink was so tasty and strong. We immediately ordered the bread (sourdough boule) to soak up some of the alcohol as well as some oysters and the salsa. The oysters were so well spiced and were absolutely delicious. But the bread, the bread, the bread -- the server mentioned that it took almost 9 months to develop the bread recipe and it served. It was the best bread and butter that I think I have ever had! The salsa was good but probably was my least favorite of everything and it was still super yummy. We then moved on to the octopus tostadas. Sometimes octopus is not my fav -- it can be too chewy but this was so amazing and incredibly flavorful. It was starting to be my favorite dish until we ordered the Hamachi -- OMG!! Talk about a mouth orgasm-- both my friend and I were yummming it up -- but seriously this bite was so complex with different flavors coming up with every chew -- it has coriander candied peanuts, fermented pineapple, avocado, pickled fresno, toasted coconut and aji amarillo yogurt -- The server mentioned that this was the chef's least favorite dish which I totally do not understand because this was off the charts in my book. We also tried the earl gray whiskey sour, which was light and delicious, and ended with the shrimp toast and the espresso martini. By the way the toast on the shrimp toast was like a little fried dough triangle -- sooooo gooood! The martini was good but the cold brew old fashioned really stole the spotlight for me. Other details I loved that just elevated the experience: Purse hook (very important to me), the little trays for your utensils, metal coasters, incredibly attentive servers, fantastic music, great ambiance and the cutest was the penny they put on top of your check. So cute -- was not expecting such an enjoyable all around experience!! Will be back 1000%!!!

Pier 88 Boiling Seafood is our go-to seafood boil restaurant in the Valley. We regularly dine at…read morethe one in Tolleson, but found ourselves in Mesa today and were in the mood for seafood boil. This location is a much nicer facility and in a better area than the one in Tolleson. The menu is consistent too, which made it easy for us to order our favorites. I hope you get Gigi as your server as she is very pleasant, friendly and checks on you regularly. However, the two (2) greeters at the hostess stand are a different story. It is obvious neither of them like their jobs and just come in to punch a clock. It would be nice if they at least made eye contact with the customers before they have you follow them to the table they have picked out for you. Smile? . . . that's out of the question, too. We determined by the expressions on their faces their parents probably told them since they graduated from high school they aren't going to sit around the house doing nothing all day so this must the the place they applied to.

After driving by this place many times on our way to nearby Dink & Dine, my daughter and I decided…read moreto give it a try. We are fans of the local competitor and wanted to see how this one compared. TLDR: the other one is better! We each ordered the Famous Low Country Boil - mine with lemon pepper sauce and my daughter with the 88 Special, a combo of all the sauces. She went with no spice and I went with mild. We also ordered a bowl of rice. We did enjoy what we had but it seemed heavier than what we are used to. We were not big fans of the sausage mixed in and our service was fine, but not amazing. We were also disappointed that there were not scissors offered to help get the meat out of the crab / lobster - we really had to work for it! On a positive note, we did make good use of the wet wipes that were given to us as well as our bibs and gloves. It is quite a messy meal and note that I learned the hard way: don't wear white if you're planning on ordering any kind of seafood boil! Pricing is similar to the competitor. Ambiance is chill but not as fun. I would not rush back, but I also would return with reasonable expectations.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating and there is a cute little pond with fish which I think is so fun! The menu is pretty big and their drinks are very reasonably priced. Our waitress came by with waters and was ready to take our orders within minutes. My go to order for a long time has been the Caesar salad with dressing on the side- they're not shy with the dressing so I like to add it separately. The build your pasta is perfect! The whole portion is pasta for $12 and it can easily serve 2 people, if you're solo, order the half portion. Then we get Cajun cream and it has little pieces of veggies in it and has the right amount of spice; a little kick to it Add the blackened salmon it's perfect every time! I think the salmon is an extra $9 Once you order it you won't go back!

Saturday night. Dinner with my son and daughter-in-law. She wanted crab legs, and the casino…read moreoptions we had in mind weren't serving them that evening. So we headed to Kracy Cajun Seafood and Hibachi in Tempe, chasing a little seafood satisfaction in the middle of the desert. The first thing that grabs you is the full-wall screen: sea turtles and beautiful fish drifting across it, turning dinner into something resembling a seat inside an aquarium. It's cool. The atmosphere is mellow, laid-back, and welcoming. We were seated almost immediately, and our server got the drink order going without wasting time. So far, so good. The menu was easy to navigate. I built my own boil: one pound of headless shrimp, sausage, two potatoes, one corn, and a $2 hard-boiled egg. I went with the "all flavor" seasoning, hot, and an unsweetened iced tea. Now, two dollars for a boiled egg deserves a moment of silence. I've seen cartons of 18 eggs for under five bucks at Costco or Sam's Club. I understand restaurant markup, but apparently this egg had aspirations. We also ordered Cajun fries. Small basket, good execution: crispy, seasoned just right, and worth reaching across the table for another one. Then came the bag. I gave it a proper shake, worked that sauce around, and emptied the whole glorious mess into my bowl. This is food that asks you to get your hands dirty, and I'm perfectly fine with that. The shrimp were a decent size and cooked just right. The sausage--about eight coin-sized slices--tasted good. The corn was ordinary but enjoyable. My premium-priced egg seemed to have spent a little too much time in boiling water. And the two potatoes? Missing in action. When the server came around, I mentioned the disappearance. He gave me a look that seemed slightly doubtful but said he'd get them right away. "Right away" turned into about five to ten minutes. They eventually arrived. At the table, you can get that fixed. With takeout, you might already be home before realizing your seventy-five-cent potatoes--or that two-dollar egg--never made the trip. But let's give the kitchen its due: the sauce was excellent. Big flavor, satisfying heat, and enough restraint with the salt to let the shrimp actually taste like shrimp. It coated everything beautifully. This was a pretty good meal, and I enjoyed eating it. Then came the math: $48, including tip, for one person. At that price, I start paying closer attention to every missing potato. I also visited the restroom. Luis came with me and handed it an F on the Luis Scale. It was filthy. A restaurant can put sea turtles on the wall and serve a delicious seafood boil, but the bathroom needs some attention, too. That kind of neglect leaves an impression the sauce can't wash away. Would I recommend it? If you want a flavorful seafood boil and the price doesn't bother you, yes. There's good food here. For me, though, the cost, missing potatoes, and restroom made this a one-time visit. On to the next. And don't forget to tip your servers.

LJ had fantastic recommendations, and made us feel very taken care of and never rushed, even though the restaurant was quite busy! Our experience with the food, and Eric encouraged us to come back a second time, but LJ (and the entire team, from hosts to managers) will keep us coming back. The seating and general ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful as well, and very comfortable. They have a lot of booth seating, which is always preferred personally, but they have traditional seating as well! I would highly recommend Blue Sushi to anyone and everyone! One of the best restaurants in Arizona right now.

I am a single female. I like to eat at the bar. This happens all the time to me. I think the servers and bartenders think because I'm a female eating alone that I don't tip good, I always tip 25% even if the service is so so. Today I'm having calamari and a cucumber salad which was really good. The bartender never checked on me, how my meal is ...she didn't bring eating utensils. I had to go to an empty table and get them and had to get salt and pepper from someone walking by.. The first time I came the food was good but again service was not. The bartender today seemed like she was unhappy being here, they aren't busy so that isn't an excuse. I have waited tables so I will always leave a good tip nut also let them know the tip was NOT because of good service and that it was disappointing... hoping this review helps. .
