    Advertised meal

    At first when I saw this restaurant I thought it was going to be amazing. Especially after looking at the menu. I ordered the spicy jerk chicken dinner. When I first tried it I was a little thrown for a loop when I opened it. I was expecting jerk chicken but instead got shredded chicken with jerk flavor. The sides were good. I got the Mac and cheese and sweet yams. I figured that maybe there was a might've been a mistake with the chicken until I ordered again. The second time I ordered the Cajun chicken dinner. Well the problem with this one was again it was shredded chicken but didn't taste a Cajun flavor. Now I'm really wondering what is going on. Fast forward to last night when I ordered again bc I wanted to see if there was some sort of mistake with the jerk chicken and if it was corrected - I ordered it again and my daughter ordered the chicken gumbo- no no no!!! Everything was still the same with my meal as well as hers. Not sure what was meant by chicken gumbo and where the inspiration for any of these meals came from but they really don't need to do this anymore. And the prices are wayyyyy too high for what you get. I definitely won't order from here again. Fool me 4 times real real shame on me.

    The guy that runs this place is super cool. The pizza is extremely tasty, the cheese sticks are phenomenal and the dipping sauce is nothing less than amazing. I've got only good things to say about this spot. Top-notch! I would absolutely recommend taste buds to anybody. You won't regret it- absolutely fantastic!

    Super casual, ASU students frequent, ambiance is like a sports bar. Open till 2 am, good to grab some late night grub. Typical American junk food, great for a late night fix. The people running this place are friendly and have great customer service. No frills, easy going, hard working people. Stop by and grab a bite!

    Food was good, service was great, and it's not busy at all. Along with the waiting time is around 5-10 minutes, isn't bad. Overall, it's a good restaurant and the ambience is good as well. The employee, assuming it's the business owner let me refill my water bottle without a problem.

    Place is always clean, food is good and comes out fast and they have a lot of cooler drink options. And you can't beat $5 slices of pizza and drink

    This place is awesome, so many choices of food I couldn't decide what I was in the mood for... the guy who helped me was super nice and suggested some things. I ordered late night at 2am the other night

That said, my experiences with service have been inconsistent. My husband and I came in for breakfast one morning and, while the server seemed to be doing his best, he appeared overwhelmed and possibly understaffed. It took quite a while before we were greeted, and service throughout the meal felt slow as he juggled multiple tables. On a separate visit, I ordered takeout. Unfortunately, the hostess who greeted me wasn't very welcoming, and there was another noticeable wait before my food was ready. The pricing is a bit on the higher side, but I will say the burger itself was excellent--great flavor, a nice char, and a generous portion of fries. Overall, this place has a lot of potential given its atmosphere and food quality, but improving customer service--especially front-of-house friendliness and efficiency--would make a big difference. If you're already staying at the hotel, it's worth checking out, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to return.

They are incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely make every guest feel welcome from the moment they walk in. Not only are their drinks consistently excellent, but they handle busy nights with an impressive level of calm and efficiency. Even when the bar is packed, they remember orders, keep a positive attitude, and make sure guests feel taken care of. That kind of service is rare. What really sets them apart is their personality and work ethic. They create an atmosphere that keeps people coming back. You can tell they care about both the customers and the success of the business. Every time I visit, I see them going above and beyond, helping coworkers, keeping things organized, and maintaining a great vibe for everyone around them. Employees like this are a huge asset to any establishment, and in my opinion, they absolutely deserve recognition!

The bartenders are amazing however we are sad our normal peeps have left. Tonight Sean KILLED it with us and so glad he was still there since first meeting him on Halloween. Honestly the reason for 4 stars is the fact the drunken wifey is gone and the 3% credit card fee. We have been coming here for a little over 5 years and never had to pay that. Wild change and slightly bs. You already charge a lot for food and drinks (increases over the years are noticeable with management changes) but when you always have a rather large bill usually $700-sometimes over $1000 depending on the kind of evening we're having it is going to be very noticeable. A change like that needs to be more obvious, minus a little print at the bottom of the menu. No one even noticed (since we really didn't need the menu to order) nor did our server. It truly makes me want to give you a three star but I can't discredit the hard working staff and people in the kitchen, as it is clearly the change of new management and the "rebuild" from the beginning of the year. It speaks volumes to a group that has been dedicated to the Americano since March of 2020 and now makes us wonder if it's time to move onto a different restaurant.

Well, it was awesome - seated immediately, even though it was fairly busy and had our table server Izzy quickly there to ask if we wanted water and orders for other drinks - we went with Cider Corps Mango Foxtrot, as we always often do - such a good cider and this is on draught here also. Music was a little loud as many people talking loudly to hear but it wasn't too bad - but noticeable! I ordered the Perfect Grilled Cheese and sweet potato fries, which were so good. The bread was like a fruit bread - actually its a spiced pear bread - which is delicious! The wife got the Chicken Club and sweet potato fries, also stating it was one of the nicest sandwiches she has had in a while. We swapped our sandwich halves to get a taste of each and we both rolled our eyes in delight - both were fresh , very tasty and not over-stuffed, making them easier to eat! We will definitely be back as its a close drive to get here.. Love it!

I ordered one of the side salads but I asked if I could have them add fresh pear to it because of course the name of the place is Perfect Pear Bistro so I was naturally craving pears. The ambience was cute and classy. I sat on the patio because it was gorgeous outside, but I did take a peek inside and it has a low lit upscale rustic vibe. There was plenty left in the salad after I housed my sandwich (elegantly) and I finally had to tap out and get a to-go box. Lovely little stop, would come back.

We were setup in a separate dining area from the main dining room, which allowed for better conversation without added noise. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive the entire time we were there, which was a couple hours. The milk bread is an absolute must! It's so pillowy soft and the flaky sea salt perfectly compliments it. I ordered the Wise Decision cocktail, which was refreshing. For my entree, I had the shishito Caesar salad and was advised I could add a protein from their skewer selection of chicken, pork belly or oyster mushrooms. I asked the waitress about the chicken and she advised that they are smoked and will appear pink from that, so not to be alarmed, but are moist and really flavorful. While the filet was tempting (and what everyone else at my table ordered), I wanted something lighter. Thankfully I was not disappointed in my selection. The chicken was as delicious as described and could be cut with a fork. The Caesar salad was well dressed, but not soggy. Do I think it was worth the money to add the chicken? Not if I were paying, but since my company paid for it, I think it was worth it. This is a great spot for a date night or special occasion.
