Add a side of grilled chicken! If you're fortunate to get Leo as your server, you'll have an evening to remember. He, and the entire staff, go above and beyond. Leo had the kitchen make a custom desert for the couple seated beside us and I found that to be such a nice gesture. So many recommendations from the menu, and personal favorites include the Fettuccine Bolognese (the home made cheddar sauce is yum!), the Spaghetti Carbonara and the Rigatoni Italian Sausage. This quaint and remarkable dinning establishment is too good to keep a secret any longer. Check it out for a fun and enjoyable dining experience that won't disappoint!

My friend wanted something in between our houses as she recently moved to Maricopa while I'm in the…read morefar east valley, and she wanted pasta specifically. I searched my Yelp bookmarks and remembered a few fellow Yelpers wrote great reviews about this location. I love that you can do a reservation through Yelp, though it was slower on a Sunday evening around 5:30pm so the reservation wasn't needed. She arrived before me, so I asked the hostess to direct me where she was at. The interior seems to be divided in sections, and we were seated in a dining room area with table clothes and more nicer Italian restaurant vibes versus martini/wine bar. What we ordered: - Bruschetta "Va Bene" ($9.95): great flavor, and impressed the price point is under $10! - Linguine Al Pesto ($19.95): my friend ordered, and remarked how delicious the sauce was. - Risotto Mare Monte ($28.95): the texture of the risotto was great, and I enjoyed the flavor. A very good risotto comparative to others in the valley I've tried. - Crème Brûlée ($8.95): not my favorite, but also not the worst. A pretty solid crème brûlée and next time, I'd try the tiramisu (dined with my pregnant friend who's avoiding caffeine). I had my heart set on a vodka martini, but they were out of blue cheese stuffed olives which was a bummer. It was one of the deciding factors why I chose this place. Other than that, it was a great dinner and I'd return in hopes of having a martini and exploring more of the menu.

Allison and Les (apologies for any misspelling) took great care of us and checked in often. Menus were also recently updated with the change. Ordered the Gold Rush cocktail and the Miso Ocean Trout for dinner. The cocktail was done very well with a good balance between the alcohol and flavoring. The trout was probably one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. The miso paired so well with the dynamic sauce and the fish along with the sticky coconut rice and greens. I also took a bite of my friend's The Boar sandwich and it was delicious - fries were amazing. Will definitely be back!!

If I'm being honest in my review this place should be called "Alright Time Charlie's" or "It was a…read moreFine Time Charli's" . I recently visited GTC after a high school basketball game with some friends and while we had a good experience I wanted more. The atmosphere is great. Dive bar feel that is clean and has charm and a great neighborhood vibe. The band in the corner didn't drown out our conversation and played old country music that was fun and upbeat. Our waiter was great offering suggestions and checking in on us regularly. Where the disappointment came in was our food and drinks. We ordered sliders, quesadilla, and the Philly cheesesteak. All of them were "fine" with the sliders being more bread than slider and same for the Philly. The quesadilla was the best of the options and had lots of ingredients packed in. Our drinks were also less than ideal as they seemed to have zero alcohol. If you are gonna drink go with beer since what you see is what you get. Cocktails were short pours and watered down. I even called them out after the first one and nothing changed with the second so I stopped donating. At the End of the Day, Good Time Charlis is not a bad stop and I'm sure the regulars are die hard. So if you go, let me help in my experience and simply order a quesadilla, beer of choice, and listen to the band...the best part of the night.

This place was a surprisingly great find. From the outside it looks like a super casual…read moreneighborhood bar, but... * Food: the food is actually excellent, far better than I expected. Big portions, a huge menu (see pics), and genuinely good value across the board. Mmmm, that burger was good, juicy, thick, smokey, rich, and flavorful with warm, gooey cheese, fresh toppings and thick, warm, home-cut fries-o-plenty, excellent! If you're looking for a spot where the food punches way above expectations, this is it. *Atmosphere: depending on when you come, inside can get packed and feel a bit small when the crowd fills in. The vibe is extremely casual and laid back, the kind of place you could easily make your own and become a regular without even trying. The live music in the evening was great, but definitely loud, both the band and the crowd. If you're coming for quiet conversation on live music nights, this isn't the place. However, the crowd, noise level, and how packed it gets really depends on when you come in. Weekday lunch is significantly quieter, but evenings after work and weekends, especially when there's a band, get loud and busy fast. They have a large outdoor patio, which is a nice plus, but it was pretty smoky when we were there. Nice energy, just not the best for non-smokers. *Service: there were a lot of servers working, and ours was very sweet, friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. Exactly what you hope for in a bar like this. I felt "taken care of" and you can't put a price on that. *Overall: casual, lively, loud, and far better food than you'd ever expect. If you want a laid-back local spot with great food, live music, and a neighborhood feel, this is a solid pick and one you could easily end up visiting regularly. I added a few burger and menu photos to help you get a feel. Highly recommend!

A weary traveler arrives and sits down at his favorite bar--Bottleshop48, located at 3318 S McClintock Dr, Tempe, AZ 85282, in the Aldi shopping center. He orders a crisp glass of Bottleshop Water, known to the regulars simply as "water," and rests for a moment as a film begins to play on the main TV. Brad and Angelina appear. It is Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the acclaimed 2005 action/comedy. A small tear rolls down his face; finally, he will be able to enjoy Mr. and Mrs. Smith from start to finish. Finally, his life will have meaning beyond the crude dionysian pursuit of wine, women, and song. Today, he thinks: "my suffering will end: I am free from the banality of the world outside, with a full 2 hours of action/comedy to enjoy, cold drink in hand, hale companions to my left and to my right." But this man was mistaken. Instead a challenger appears--a man from the wrong side of the tracks, a man bent on ruining our hero's uninterrupted viewing of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Shockingly this newcomer requests the TV remote. He brazenly downloads the Sling Freestream app on the TV. He scrolls through the Sling Freestream app's numerous free ad-supported options and chooses--impossibly--Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the 1975 comedic send-up of the grim circumstances of the Middle Ages as told through the story of King Arthur and framed by a modern-day murder investigation. Our hero protests meekly, in earnest: "but I was watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith." "Oh sorry," the upstart pretender responds, surprised that someone would be so interested in seeing the end of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Does our hero challenge this cruel usurper to fisticuffs for the TV remote? No. Does he chuck a beer at this sadistic lover of classic British humor? No. Does he strip naked and dance atop the bar in a lewd manner to assert his dominance over the TV? He does not. A man of peace--a true lover not a fighter and a known Ryan Gosling look-alike--our hero grits his teeth and accepts the excruciating truth that he will see no more of Brad and Angelina on this night. He simply pays his tab and exits into the freezing late April air, never to know true happiness. Never to experience complete extasy. Never to see the end of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
