Take these reviews seriously folks, especially if it is for such an important event as a wedding. Why take the risk of having such an important day be marred by unprofessional people who do not care about anything except ypur money? I'm so sorry for those that had to deal with the atrocious people who "run" this place.

Postino has been a favorite restaurant for my wife and me for so long! From happy hours, brunches,…read morelate night snacks, and even our first date, we have been to every Position location in the Greater Phoenix area. The taste of food is great, the locations are convenient, and there are some great deals and promotions. We went this weekend to Postino Arcadia for a date night, and like usual, we were quite impressed! We made a reservation in advance on their website, and we were able to sit down without any wait. The host and serving staff were all very helpful and considerate. Being 6:30 PM on a Friday evening, we didn't know if we should expect it to be very busy or quite empty (as it was summertime). It turned out to be moderately busy, and we found a self-parking spot right away in the parking lot. There were more open spots when we arrived than when we left. There are valet options in addition to the self-parking though (but we didn't need them). We met one of the servers and asked for recommendations as we were craving a bruschetta board (four toasts each cut into four pieces) along with a grilled cheese with tomato soup. We knew three of the four bruschetta options we were going to choose but struggled choosing the last one, so the server offered to bring us the one we don't choose to try. We also didn't want bacon on the grilled cheese and asked about a meat substitute. While there was a charge for any additional substitute, we just decided we didn't need the meat in the first place with the bruschetta coming, too. The food was all delicious as usual and arrived rather quickly. We don't know how this location's food and service could be any better! We have signed up for the ePosse and have enjoyed receiving birthday promotions including a free dessert as well as something special for our Postino anniversary. Or instead of Postino, it can be used at other Upward Projects restaurants including Windsor, Federal Pizza, or Joyride Taco. Happy hours are also great daily until 5 PM with $6 wine by the glass or pitchers of beer. On Monday and Tuesday evenings after 8 PM, you can order a full bottle of wine and a bruschetta board for only $25. We love Postino and will be back!!

We had a terrible experience at another similar restaurant last Mother's Day, but the experience…read morehere was totally different. The GM was present and active, checked on everything personally and we were treated with respect and kindness the whole night. It was a special night for us: both Mother's Day for my partner, and her daughter's 21st birthday. Our server Carmela was a star. It was a busy night, but she made certain we were taken care of. They even put chicken hearts on the fire for us, something my Brazilian partner and her daughters look forward to. The food was of course great, but it was the service that made it special. This is such a better experience than competing restaurants. We will come back here again for special events, because the staff went above and beyond and that means something to me. Thank you so much for the lovely evening and we will see you again soon.

Our first time here, specifically came for the "cheese fest "…read moreI have been to a couple of different Brazilian steakhouses and when I saw the advertised cheese fest I thought oh cool something new and decided to go to this steakhouse thinking it was going to be something that's not offered elsewhere. It is nice inside, staff were all friendly. Food was ok, we were expecting something special but it was Parmesan crusted meats which is served elsewhere on the menu all the time, same with the cheese and honey, we were asking what's the cheese fest and that was it. We would have just gone to the spot we went to before which IMO the food is better. We were waiting for something to wow us but nothing did. In fact I had to ask when they opened because it was pretty empty in there especially for Saturday. It was decent, but I'll stick to my other spot. Left disappointed thinking I was going for some exotic cheeses or cheese dishes and there wasn't any.

Fine dining is something we like to reserve for special occasions, and this dinner was exactly…read morethat. Food has become a hobby for both my hubby and me, so we decided to celebrate two June birthdays with our good friend at Uppercut. My hubby actually discovered Uppercut through Instagram, and we were lucky enough to snag a last-minute reservation! After taking a little while to find the restaurant (worth the search!), we walked inside and immediately said, "Wow." The dim lighting, warm ambiance, and elegant décor made it feel like we had stepped into another era. Uppercut embraces a refined dining atmosphere with a business casual dress code, which fit the evening perfectly. The restaurant was bustling, so we waited a bit for our seats near the busy bar. We had reserved the chef's tasting counter experience, and when our table was ready, we were led through a hidden entrance behind the wine cellar door into an intimate dining room. It was such a fun reveal and the perfect introduction to what became one of the most memorable dining experiences we've had. Uppercut specializes in premium dry-aged beef, and the chefs explained that the current seasonal tasting menu featured 17 courses, each highlighting beef through different Asian-inspired preparations. We also chose the beverage pairing, which definitely elevated the tasting experience. A huge shoutout to Chef Eddie! All four chefs were personable, engaging, and incredibly talented, but Chef Eddie especially made the evening memorable with his humor, knowledge, and obvious passion for his craft. Yes, there is some bias here since Chef Eddie was the chef right in front of us! Watching the chefs prepare every course right in front of us while explaining the ingredients and techniques made the experience feel both educational and entertaining. The evening began with rich bone marrow drizzled over soft Hawaiian bread. It was buttery, indulgent, and an incredible way to start the meal. From there, we enjoyed beautifully prepared beef carpaccio, an elegant beef roll topped with generous caviar and fresh truffle, and course after course that somehow continued to surprise us. Sometimes tasting menus can fall flat at some point or start out strong and then turn weak. But not at Uppercut! Without spoiling the full tasting menu, a few standouts included a phenomenal wagyu sandwich paired with a crisp beer from the beverage tasting, refreshing intermezzo courses (including a honeydew shaved ice palate cleanser), and a wonderful seafood finale featuring crab, shrimp, and steak. The desserts provided a perfect ending and were as thoughtfully prepared as the courses before them. The chefs even sang happy birthday songs for the celebrations! Beyond the food itself, what made Uppercut truly special was how immersive the entire evening felt. Every sense was engaged--from the beautiful dining room and the dry-aging refrigerator displayed in the corner, to the aromas drifting from the open kitchen, the rhythmic sounds of preparation, the laughter throughout the room, and the lively banter between the chefs and guests. It wasn't simply dinner to us; it felt like dinner and a show rolled into one. Wonderful food, wonderful company, and an unforgettable experience. Since the tasting menu changes seasonally, I already have an excuse to come back and see what the chefs create next. The "steaks" were high on this, and the chefs delivered. Cheers to Uppercut!

Well, unlike my other fellow yelpers, I was disappointed with my $650+ omakase dinner at Uppercut!…read moreI took my hubby here for Father's Day. He enjoyed it, but I was left feeling bored and not impressed. We were seated close to the corner, and our chef didn't really explain anything to us. I ended up listening to the chef to my left because he spoke loudly and engaged his patrons. Our chef paid more attention to the couple directly in front of him. I had to ask him to engage with us, because we felt left out. Another problem for me is that the meat was cooked to a rare temperature. I prefer my beef to be cooked to med-rare to medium. I literally started gagging a bit while I was eating one the courses because it was damn-near raw. I spit it out in my napkin to avoid throwing up. The service was wonderful and the omakase experience is probably treasured by many. However, I'm a picky eater and I'm not crazy about Asian food, so I think I'm better off ordering my food the traditional way. Don't get me wrong,it was a great experience but it wasn't for me. I will gladly spend $650 for a meal of my choosing, but I have no desire to spend that type of money on a predesigned menu ever again!

We hired Tacos Guadalajara to cater my daughter's graduation party for 75 guests from 5:00-8:00 PM,…read morewith food service scheduled from 5:30-7:30 PM. We had used them previously and had a great experience, which makes this situation even more disappointing. This time was an absolute disaster. The grill operator could not get the grill lit for over an hour and a half. As a result, the food was almost TWO HOURS late. Most of our guests ended up leaving without ever eating. Imagine hosting a graduation party for 75 people and having almost no food available during the actual event. To make matters worse, when we politely asked for updates, the man cooking became rude and dismissive. His response was essentially, "I'm stressed." Well, so were we -- we were trying to host dozens of hungry guests while watching the entire event fall apart. At the end of the night, no apology, refund, or meaningful attempt to make things right was offered. We were simply told to "call Monday." After following up, the best they offered was $100 back for a completely ruined catering experience. This was beyond unacceptable. The food delay, poor communication, rude attitude, and lack of accountability completely ruined an important once-in-a-lifetime celebration for our family. I would never use them again and strongly caution others before trusting them to cater an important event.
