Since I'm going to be attending more culinary events such as this one, I felt the need to get back…read moreto my Yelp roots. After a nearly 3 month absence, here is my first review back. I must start by saying that my sweet bf, Nico, got us both free tickets to this event. We would normally not spend $75.00 per person for an event in a parking lot. On a weeknight. It was a nice enough setup. Parking was a bit of a pain, and we walked up to the exit and had to walk all the way around the whole dang event to get to the entrance. Once inside the event (I should still say outside, because the whole thing is set up in a parking lot), we were given a plastic plate and wine glass. So the idea is to walk around to each booth and try the food offering with the wine or beer offering. Most of what we tried was very good. Capital Grill, as well as Ruth Chris offered up some tasty beef. The shrimp and octopus concoction from Lon's was awful, however. Way too chewy and you could smell them from a mile away. Nothing we tried was so excellent that I'm dying to go back to a particular restaurant right away. There were small, high tables that you could stand at or sit on the very limited grass. I was a little disappointed that no other seating was available. Nick and I still had a wonderful time. Then again, we have a great time wherever we go. We'll go again next year...if we get those free tickets again.

Forks & Corks used to be my favorite foodie/wine event. Held each spring when the weather is at its…read moreArizona awesomenest, it was a intimate festival with chefs showcasing their best and mingling with the crowd and distributors tastings of some their best and popular wines. Two years ago, they added beer but the event still stuck to its name of great food and wine. This year, it hit a low. It's getting bigger, growing out of its space in the Esplanade cul de sac, the food was lackluster, and the wines bargain bin. It's like everyone just gave up and I'm not sure why. Could blame it on the economy, but you'd think chefs would want to show off for people paying to sample and discover new places. I know distributors are all about pushing the $10 wines, but at events like these we want to know what we can splurge on every now and then. Thankfully, the beer is still there and it's outshining the wine. I sampled a Belguim Tripel, the always great Four Peaks, Lost City brews and even and Agave beer. Yum! So is the emphasis on desserts - restaurants that handed out the sweets really went all out like The Districts decadant Whoopie Pies or the Banana Split on a Stick. It's sad to see things change. Go back to your roots Forks & Corks, or be prepared to rename your event Sweets & Suds.

Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Variety is a 10/10, liquor, ciders, wine, swag, bar accessories, etc. After several samples I knew I needed food, we headed to their patio and ordered pizza. I had the mushroom with light cheese. It came out fast and was very good, the bite on that crust was perfect, the ingredients tasted fresh. My friends had the margarita pizza and they said there's was also delicious, some of the best pizza they've had. They had games on the patio and plenty of seating. The weather and full moon last night made it a perfect evening! (We did hit two other Trevor's right after.. gotta take advantage when you have a DD .. cheers!! )

However, the service from our waitress was very disappointing. My husband, grandson, and I were dining, and since we had our grandson with us it was getting late. When she brought the bill, we tried to hand her our payment method, but she completely ignored us and walked away. It wasn't busy enough to excuse that, and she never acknowledged our request. Again, the food was great as usual, but the customer service tonight was very disappointing.

It wasn't easy for me to find parking, even late at night, but I did find one space nearby. It seemed like about 20-25% of their floorspace is alcohol, but in the rest they have a very wide variety of things, tailored to the local college student population. They have a small selection of fresh produce, they have fresh meats and cheeses, as well as a lot of canned/preserved foods and frozen foods. They also have a small/basic selection of pet supplies and they have kitchen utensils. Overall this seems like a very versatile shop, having just about everything you need, until 2am. The place was clean, well lit, and I was very comfortable shopping late at night. The cashier was polite and friendly, though he didn't offer me a receipt and I didn't notice until later, and I would have liked one. Oh well. I bought a pre-made turkey & cheese croissant sandwich for $7 and it was decent.

Seeing as Geek Bars have a product guarantee for the RETAILER they SHOULD be able to honor that guarantee....but alas they did NOT. SHAMEFUL if you ask me. They not only failed to give me an exchange, but he LIED and made up his own excuse as to why he didn't want to uphold and satisfy my simple and easy enough exchange of product. He stated that the product could only be replaced/returned within 4 days then after I said it had only been 2 days, he changed it to 6 hours, knowing when I had bought the device after that time period. I am a very reasonable person and had a very unreasonable experience so in the future I will gladly take my business elsewhere and recommend others to do the same. Happy Trails, Cerise Brown

Yeah I think your security guard either lying about a tow truck or actually calling one is actually a big deal. Holy crap. Way too over priced to deal with this hassle. They also have no idea what a nicoise salad is. And the manager was gossiping with an employee about me which made it so obvious because she was staring me down from over the counter. I'm literally just trying to grab a meal to go. Absolutely insane. Burger was okay. Truly not worth the experience.
