El Chorro - Paradise Valley

Menu states the salad was 10 dollars, and below states that add shrimp 12dollars. So the salad comes with 3 med. sized shrimp. My wife does the same. Bill arrives, $20 for the salads and another $24 for the shrimp! $44 for two salads. Outrageous. For some reason, they think a loud singer with amplifiers in the dining patio is desirable. Cannot hear yourselves talk and totally annoying. Take him indoors where you have an area already to go in the bar. They are doing this Tues Sat. Let us enjoy the view and some quiet respite from the day's events. The Valet is $5, so fine. Then the young man proceeds to tell me he needs to make a living so why don't I give him an additional $5 dollar tip instead of two. What happened to the standards that this restaurant used to uphold. I will not go back if some of these things are not corrected. Certainly, going to avoid the patio if this noise keeps up. Be sure to ask questions about the menu. Pricing is like reading an investment prospectus. Not always getting the whole story.

Granted it was Friday night and they had only been open a couple of weeks, but the service was awful and the food not much better. The waitress smiled through the whole fiasco like she felt she was doing a good job. Ignorence is bliss. Wait was so long we had to go the bar ourselves (as did others around us). We waited over a half hour for service, were given an out of date menu, the water never arrived, wine carafe delivered without a glass, hamburger was raw, cheese plate had two pieces of cheese. Very bad experience.

An oldie but goodie, local place to fine dine and romance your sweetie. Be sure to try the French fried lobster on the luscious patio or the cheese spread in the cowboy style bar. The daily happy hour cannot be beat!!! Joe Miller and his wife do an outstanding job and make every customer feel like family.

Wonderful place you have dinner. Food always excellent and the service is fabulous as well.
