I'd say - If you want a decent, light on self and pocket - this place wins: the meals are so good that you even have room for dessert and not feel guilty.. you do get the guilty pleasure moment for their standout dish - butter cake. I am little surprised the fish and chips don't get a lot of praise here and it def is praise worthy! Their fried calamari is a little on the oiler side.. but their Clam chowder, oh that compensates well! Now the drinks are another thing I ordered the Two by the sea, oh, for a weekday afternoon that drink was SMOOTH! Going to def the dinner service sometime for sure! But, don't SKIMP out on this place when in Tempe marketplace. The seafood is fresh, the atmosphere is amazing and old schooled inside and the service is quick!

Had to come back and get my favorite dish for my birthday…read more Had a cup of clam chowder to start. The chowder was excellent, but the little baggie of oyster crackers was FAR beyond stale... I couldn't even get them to soften in the soup. I had to scoop them out. I know they didn't cook the oyster crackers, but maybe pop open a bag every once in a while and test them. Main dish, my favorite, was the Sauteed N'Awlins BBQ Shrimp. I've been getting this dish for years. This time, the shrimp seemed maybe a little overcooked, or something. The meat of the shrimp was becoming a little stringy, but they were still very tender. So, I still enjoyed it. This has always been our choice for a birthday meal, either mine or another family member's. We NEVER tell the staff because we don't want an embarrassing fuss. This year, I had read online that they don't do singing here. So, I mentioned it was my birthday, and I got a free Butter Cake for dessert--another old favorite. Service was top-notch, as always.

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more El Tataki Sushi Fusion 1410 E Southern Ave Tempe, 85282 I must confess I have never been to a Japanese Mexican restaurant in all my travels. Mexican food is almost unheard of in Japan and Japanese food is almost unheard of in Mexico, but here it is folks. Companion and I went for lunch and ended up eating supper there. I began by ordering edamame with garlic. I loved it. Edamame is one of my favorite snacks and I had never had it with garlic on it before. A nice twist on a favorite food. Companion ordered a vegetable tempura while I ordered a shrimp tempura. Whoever did the frying certainly knows their art, as all of the tempura was absolutely fried to perfection. The veggies were al dente and the shrimp were large (about 3 inches long) and very tender. Most shrimp tempura in other places is overcooked and the meat is much tougher. The plates came with a number of onion rings on them and once again, they were perfectly cooked. Companion also ordered pork gyozas. They were perfectly cooked as well. I wanted to try something from the sushi bar, so I ordered Unagi (eel nigiri). They were perfectly made with the proper amount of eel sauce on it along with ginger and wasabi on the side. Portion size was good and flavor was excellent. In Japan when the brutal heat of summer comes it is often said, "Doyo no Ushi no Hi" which means have you had your eels today. With this being the second day of summer, it was certainly appropriate to order them today. We also ordered fried rice and that was the only part of the meal that neither of us enjoyed. The rice just didn't have the right flavor or texture. After each of us had some we left the rest. Finally, it was dessert time. Also time for something that neither of us had ever had before - Fried Cheesecake. Our waitress Ximena brought out a huge, towering chunk of Cheesecake which was surrounded by whipped cream and had chocolate sauce and strawberry all over it. Wow! If you go there this is an absolute must to order. Probably several thousand calories, but who's counting? It was outstanding. This was a thoroughly enjoyable meal which because of portion size we could not finish. The place is immaculate and the music and lighting are most suited to the younger crowd. Date night perhaps? 5 stars

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more Tempe Eats 85 E. Southern Avenue Tempe, 85282 This is a new restaurant that took over the former Tempe Eats. It has only been open for about 3 weeks at this time. Companion and I decided to have lunch there. It is a spacious restaurant with both covered outside eating and non covered outside eating areas as well as the inside space. First thing that was noticed was that it was spotlessly clean. While the menu has a part of it dedicated to Japanese food and another pard dedicated to Mexican food, we were there to have the Cajun food. Companion ordered the Jambalaya. A rather large bowl of excellent Jambalaya that had andouille sausage and shrimp in it along with a portion of excellently seasoned rice with onions and peppers. Companion loved the dish but was unable to finish the portion. For myself, I ordered Shrimp and Grits. I was given a choice of grilled shrimp or fried shrimp, and regular grits or cheese grits. I ordered the grilled shrimp and the cheese grits. It came in the same size bowl as companions. This was by far the best shrimp and grits I have ever had in this state. Perfectly grilled shrimp, and real, not instant cheese grits. Also in this were slices of andouille sausage that very definitely was not made in this state. When I inquired about the food, the chef informed me that the ingredients come from back east and were brought in fresh. For dessert, we each had fresh made beignets covered in powdered sugar and piping hot. They came with a small order of caramel sauce that could also be put on them. Companion actually embarrassed me by licking the cup that the sauce came in till it was as clean as new! I consider this to be one of the best lunches I have had in years, and will definitely be returning for more of their excellent food. 5 Stars

This is the original location that haas been there for years, but they've expanded to a few other locations. This location is small but it's cute and the staff is really friendly. You can order online for their regular menu but they had some specials this weekend (sign up for the emails because you can see the specials at leach location and you get a code for a free cookie for your birthday) so we called in. Food was ready in 15 minutes. We got the lobster roll which is Connecticut style-my preference-with lots of butter! They had a fish and chips special so we got that too. And a pb&j cookie for my birthday! My husband very recently broke his leg so picking up Chulas with some great lobster was a nice treat! It's not inexpensive but you get what you pay for. Very fresh, high quality seafood. They have great poke and a great fish market if you want to pick up raw seafood to cook at home. Definitely a little gem in SoSco.

MONGER AMONG US It's…read moregreat to have a fishmonger in the Valley that sources seafood from boat to table. Being the desert, the quality of Seafood is important, since we are nowhere near seawater and the reputable Chula Seafood is here to serve us, desert dwellers, well. TUNA MELT- it's refreshing to have a tuna sandwich that is not canned tuna. There is a chimichiri sauce that you can get to drizzle on it that really gives a depth of flavor. The bread was a nice sourdough that was not just a cheap white bread and did not get soggy. However, with my sandwich, the bread was burnt so that bitterness ruined the flavor of the delicate fish. My pictures shows a few burnt spots, but on the bottom side was way more burnt and it was like they put the most burnt side on the bottom to hide it and hope I didn't notice. I did not appreciate this. CLAM CHOWDER- creamy and more on the fluid consistency, being made with fresh clams makes the difference. Not the best chowder i've had, but was pretty decent. The fish variety can vary with seasons, but it is nice to get different choices throughout the year. There are limited offerings here compared to the bigger location across town, as far as menu and fish selection. But for a small store it is a good place to get some quality seafood to take home or sit and eat. Check out the great happy hour deals

If you're not a fan of strong flavors, I would recommend asking for lighter seasoning on some dishes and a little extra water in the soups. That balance worked well for our preferences. Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food. During the hour we were there, the restaurant wasn't busy. There were only a couple of tables being served, yet our drinks were never refilled, our table wasn't bused, and our rice never arrived with our hot pot soups even after our server asked if we wanted it. It seemed to be forgotten. What really stood out was that we ended up eating dessert with a table full of dirty dishes still sitting in front of us and empty drinks that had not been refilled. I also noticed that the table next to us appeared to receive much more attentive service. Their drinks were refilled, their dishes were cleared promptly, and staff regularly checked on them to see if they needed anything. In comparison, our table received very little attention. I don't know why there was such a difference in service. It left me wondering whether we were being treated differently, though I can't say for certain. Overall, the food was excellent, but the service was disappointing and significantly affected our experience. (Server was Dhillon T.)
