Bandera

• Great food, excellent attention to detail by wait staff, nice atmosphere.
• No salad, bread or soup included with meal, yet still very pricey.

“I discovered this place a year ago while on vacation and when I returned to Scottsdale this past week, I decided I wanted to return for the apricot glazed pork chops. The atmosphere is casual upscale dining with a rustic feel to the building. Excellent lighting throughout, dark enough to be intimate, yet adequately lit at table surfaces and no glare anywhere. Very inviting. While the food is delicious, and the service is comparable to that of a fine cruise ship dining room, I find it hard to believe that at $22.00 for pork chops and $32.00 for a steak, that dinner does not include salad, soup or bread! Also, water was never offered, but could be had if you asked. Mixed drinks were $7.00 to $9.00 and a beer could be purchased for $5.00.”

• The view.
• Overcooked food, portions, and price.

“A joke! Six of us had dinner last week and none of us thought it anything close to the big city guys, Daniel, Keller, Trotter, Mina, etc. My halibut was over cooked and served cold. The filet wasn't anything that couldn't be found in any other estab. In town. The scallops were overcooked and the Caesar Salad served with one of the main courses was not more than two small green leaves dressed. No one ordered a dessert for not one sounded appealing. Very, very disappointed. We would have paid more than the overpriced menu if the food warranted it, for the view is that special. If you want the view go to Elements. If you want the food try Roaring Fork, Wild fish or Christopher.”

Quilted Bear

Overall Rating: 7

• Charming decor, lots of plants and light.
• Musty smell, so-so food.

“The food was so-so, nothing special, several menu items appeared pricey. Most deterring, though, was the musty smell that permeates the entryway. Wicker chairs were pretty, but a little low from the table. The fellow who filled our water glasses and took away dishes was very attentive, which was nice, but I doubt I'll go back there.”

Dos Gringos

• Nothing.
• Everything. Bad bartenders. Bad management.

“I was assaulted by a bartender/bouncer after bringing to his attention that my bill may have been wrong. He cursed and yelled at me, and then when I signed the tab and didn't leave a tip, he flipped out and attacked me. After writing a letter to the owner, he said too badly, you shouldn't have signed the tab. We don't owe you anything, even if my employee assaulted you. Well, had I known I was going to be assaulted, I wouldn't have signed anything. I would have called 911. I've spoken to several friends and co-workers since this incident about their experiences at Dos Gringos. One said that a bartender stole her credit card and acted as if she had returned it. Another friend said that months ago their tab was also wrong and the bartenders would refuse to correct the mistake. I guess it's not just me. This place really is awful. Nothing. Awful service, over priced.”
