Ordered takeout and unfortunately after returning to our hotel we realized a large portion of our…read moreorder was incorrect. We ordered a double smash burger with bacon (an extra $2 charge) along with tomatoes, lettuce, and onion. The burger arrived with no bacon and none of the listed veggies. We also ordered a triple smash burger with cheddar cheese and tomatoes, lettuce, and onion -- again, none of the veggies were included. We also ordered a mashed potato bowl with chicken, corn, and brown gravy, but there was no brown gravy in it at all. Even though a lot of our order was missing, I will say the food itself still tasted good. The biggest issue, however, was the customer service. The young girl working there, who looked to be around 16 years old, was extremely rude and snotty. When I asked for plastic utensils, she replied, "We do not have any." I asked how we were supposed to eat mashed potatoes and gravy without utensils, and she shrugged and said, "Ma'am, we are a bar, we do not have it." I responded that I've ordered takeout from many bars before and they always provide plastic utensils. She then sarcastically replied, "Good for you, have a nice day." I tried speaking with who I believed was the manager (he nodded when I asked if he was), and while I was explaining the issue, the young employee continued interrupting and talking over me. Another waitress overheard the conversation and quickly returned with plastic utensils, proving they did in fact have them available. The employee then changed her story, saying she "didn't know" if they had utensils and claimed she was super sweet to me(not rude). There is no reason an employee should be speaking to customers this way. She clearly needs additional customer service training before handling customer interactions on her own.

Fantastic Italian dinner at Strawberry Lodge! My husband and…read moreI had a wonderful evening here. I ordered the fettuccine Bolognese and it was rich, hearty, and full of flavor--perfectly cooked pasta with a delicious meat sauce. My husband had the mushroom veal, which was tender and beautifully prepared in a savory mushroom sauce. Both dishes were excellent. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic with soft lighting and classic Italian music, and the service was warm and attentive. House salad and fresh bread were a nice touch to start. This place is a real gem in Strawberry. Highly recommend making a reservation. We'll definitely keep coming back.

Yes, it's worth the wait!!…read more I finally did it. After what feels like several geological eras, multiple decades, and approximately a billion years of living in Arizona, I finally stopped at Diamond Point Shadow Steakhouse. Every single time I'd drive by, one of two things would happen: they were closed, or I was in time crunch to my next destination. It became one of those places that lived permanently on my Arizona bucket list. Well, bucket list item officially crossed off! The food was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and now I'm kicking myself for not making the stop years ago. Everything was well worth the wait...literally and figuratively. A word of advice: get there right when they open at 4:00 PM. We intentionally ate an early supper, and I'm glad we did because the place fills up fast. If you show up later, be prepared to wait. That said, after finally experiencing it for myself, I'd say it's worth the wait either way. Some things in life don't live up to the hype. Diamond Point Shadow Steakhouse does. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to figure out why I waited half my lifetime to stop here.

We planned a Mother's Day/60th Birthday dinner in our new town. The restaurant came hightly…read morerecommended. After we were seated someone came around with a dessert tray showing us the desserts that were being offered complimentary for mothers day. Yah! We ordered an Old Fashioned and a Vodka Sour cocktail while were were perusing the menu since we hadn't been there before. The waitress was cute and kind and trying to do a good job. Mind you, the restaurant was not at capacity, nor was there a wait to get in. Our drinks came and they brought me a manhattan (not an old fashioned) with no ice and the cocktail cherry and orange wedge was put in my husbands Vodka sour ‍ ...ok they were a little confused at the bar. No problem. The server decided to bring me some cherries (maraschino, not cocktail) to make up for it (thanks but not the issue) Next we ordered dinner with our salads and they were delivered to the opposite person. Which isn't a big deal but there are only 2 people at our table. Dinner was fine he ordered a ribeye w/rice pilaf and I ordered the Barramundi with rice pilaf. The fish was nice, I'd never had it before and the ribeye was ok, nothing spectacular. Then the complimentary Mother's Day Dessert choice I made was creme brûlée as it's my favorite. Well it wasn't the dessert they walked around the restaurant advertising, it was a tiny little cup but as the server said "at least it's free" And boom, here comes the bill....we were charged full price for the complimentary Mother's Day dessert. And, we didn't notice until after we had paid the bill. Now, mind you the server was tipped based on the check total. When it was brought to her attention she tells us that we can either have a restaurant credit, or return the whole bill and charge us again but the refund of the bill would take 3 days. We told her to just take care of us next time since we are new to the area and hope to have a better experience next time we visit.

There are certain things in life that you simply have to trust…read more You trust that the guy who designed the bridge knew what he was doing. You trust that the pilot sitting up front has successfully done this before. And, occasionally, you have to trust a friendly waitress when she looks at you with the quiet confidence of someone who knows the menu far better than you ever will and tells you what you should eat. This was one of those times. We live in Star Valley, and every once in a while you get a craving for something specific enough that you're willing to get in the car and go find it. On this particular day, we really wanted Italian food. Not pizza. Not a sandwich that could technically be considered Italian because someone put salami on it. We wanted a plate of pasta, garlic bread, a good salad... the whole deal. So, we made the trip up to Strawberry to try MamaJoe's Italian Grill. After looking through the menu and contemplating all of the possibilities, I decided to stop pretending that I knew what I was doing and asked our waitress what she recommended. Shrimp Alfredo. Ok. I'm in. Now, Alfredo is one of those dishes that seems simple enough, but there is a tremendous amount of mediocre Alfredo wandering around this country... overcooked pasta drowning beneath a sea of thick white sauce, desperately hoping that enough parmesan cheese will hide its shortcomings. This was not that. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was creamy and flavorful without becoming a bowl of paste, and the shrimp tasted like they had actually been flame grilled. There was just enough of that grilled flavor to make you stop for a second and wonder exactly what they had done back there. It was fantastic. Even the supporting cast showed up ready to work. The salad came with house-made bleu cheese dressing that was excellent, and the garlic bread performed its important societal function of making sure no Alfredo sauce was unnecessarily left behind on the plate. Then our waitress suggested the Old Fashioned Lemon Cake. At this point she had earned my trust, so there really wasn't much of a decision to make. I'm glad I listened. This isn't just a piece of lemon cake. There is a solid lemon cake base with what I can only describe as a lemon custard kind of layer on top... sweet, tart, creamy and absolutely delicious. The whole meal was simply wonderful. Great food, great service, and one of those friendly small-town restaurant experiences where you get the distinct impression that the people serving you actually want you to enjoy what they're serving. There is probably a lesson in here somewhere... Maybe it's that when someone who spends their days watching people order food tells you what you should eat, you should listen. Or maybe it's simply that really good Alfredo and homemade lemon cake can make you surprisingly philosophical. Either way, if you're sitting in Payson or Star Valley or Globe craving Italian food, it's absolutely worth the drive up to Strawberry. And if the waitress tells you what to order, for God's sake, listen to her.
