    The host/hostess were not attractively speaking at all! Two girls did not have the stylish attitude, spoke or acted non-attractively. They were acting like grade school snooty but dorky girls. The server at the waiting bar for the Teppan ares was also not smooth and stylishly spoke. We felt like we were at the Hispanic non-english speakers' mid-end restaurant. So we said quietly "Were we really at the Mikado??" Also when we were taking a picture on the hallway, this waitress annoyingly shawted to us "EXCUSE ME!". Teppan chef was so fun and pro!!! Spoke well with a magical show.

    We had a lovely lunch at Larkspur Grill and highly recommend you give them a try. We came at noon and were seated immediately. The ambiance is peaceful and relaxing and we had a nice table outside. We ordered the lobster roll and the Larkspur Grill Wrap. Both were delicious and served with fries or a side salad. The fries were the best we have had here in the desert and the sherry vinaigrette dressing on the side salad was very tasty and light. Since our main courses were so wonderful - we thought we would check out the dessert menu. It was a tough decision as all of them sounded heavenly. We shared a Chocolate Banana Cream Pie which was plenty for two and also a big hit! The mousse was light and flavorful and the presentation was beautiful. We will be back to try more on the menu! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

    I think the $49.00 service charge was unnecessary. I would rather include that money in the tip
