We popped in for dinner without knowing what the offerings were. We had spent all day at ASU with our daughter checking out the school and looking for apartments. We were tired and hungry, it was Friday night, the placed was lively with parties waiting but we were seated very quickly. It took a little while to get someone to... more

We ate at Cafe Boa when it was a little hole-in-the wall in Tempe. We loved it then, and my wife surprised me by taking us there for our anniversary. I was really impressed with the location. Awesome atmosphere and decor. Cafe Boa has inside and outside seating, and you can watch the Mill Ave crazies from the patio. We... more

Four of us recently "dined" at Cafee Boa. It was a memorable experience, however not in a good sense. The service was very marginal. The server had either not been trained well or was not very intelligent. Friendly, but forgetful. Forgot our cocktail order. Did not bring water after been requested twice. Busboy finally brought it when asked. We drink... more

Went to CB last night with another couple. Here is the short list of issues: 1. Small wine pour 2. Inattentive waiter 3. Terrible bread (the "Italian" looked and tasted like "Wonder Bread" 4. Cheap dipping oil (was it really olive oil?) and olives (bland...) 5. Overpriced pasta dishes 6. Small portions (ravioli averages over $2 each--you get 8 on... more

Recently ate at this restaurant with a few family members, and the food was okay, but the service was terrible. Our waitress was very inattentive, and we had to ask more than a few times to have our water refilled. The wine pours were also incredibly small. Overall, for the money we paid, I probably would go somewhere else. more
