    I am typically not a fan of the Scottsdale bar scene but Kazimierz in an exception.  They have a very chill environment, which is a breath of fresh air in Scottsdale.  It is a "speak easy' with the entrance located in the back.  There was multiple comfortable seating areas where my friend and I hung out for hours.  The night we went, there was live music--a local band which we enjoyed.  I love Kazimierz!

    It's Christmas in July!  Who knew? Well, walk into Kazimierz and it looks like Santa threw up.  The month of July is offering up tons of Christmas celebration and all the proceeds go to charity.   This little hidden gem is actually part of Cowboy Ciao, but totally different.  If you know where the slightly hidden door is - in the alleyish portion behind the restaurant- walk on in. After your eyes adjust to the dark atmosphere, fall down into a couch, belly up to the bar, or grab a table.  There is always a weird smell outside , but don't be skurred.
    Kazimierez always has live music that ranges between blues, jazz, R & B. If the band Suede is playing.. stay.  
    You can order the Chopped salad from Ciao and if you haven't had it, what in the HELL is wrong with you? Get it already.
    The flatbreads are always fantastic as are most of the small plates I've ordered. Pick some delicious cheese, order the hummus, or grab a desert to go with your wine.  
    This is a low key and mellow atmosphere overall and when you're there you forget the blazing sun is frying everyone and everything outside.

    Love the live band, wine, apps and service! Best cheese and meat plate and you can never go wrong with the chop salad. I would have given it a 5, but there is one small issue.... The high top chairs are extremely uncomfortable! We sat at two different high tops and both times the chairs were almost falling apart and rickety. That's the only complaint.

    Love this place! Its a little hard to find but so worth it. Plenty of wine to choose from. Amazing chopped salad and fondu.

    Loved this place. The atmosphere is quite unique to the area and the wine I had was incredible as was all the food. Our waitress was very charming, knowledgeable and helpful. There was also an amazing musician playing the night I was there.

    I knew where this place was. I did. But when walking down the incredibly stinky alley towards the back, I started to question myself. It wasn't what I wanted. It wasn't what I expected. But it was kind of cool.

    The door man takes his role seriously. I like it, and he lets me in. I escort my date like a gentleman and we take seats by the bar to get an overlook. Live music is about to start. The bar personnel isn't to chatty but friendly. The prices are a little higher, but for the ambiance I feel they should be. They even have a few simple rules that could be classified as a dress code. Don't wear your hat backwards. I like it. Only kids get away with that, and this sure is no place for kids.

    Another rule is to adhere to the speakeasy - don't cuss, don't yell. I just love it.

    We ate a little; we drank a little and embraced the milieu with our fellow patrons. This place is a gem, in its dark shadowy appearance. I wouldn't want to change a thing.

    - IF you are into wine and feel you have the capacity to soak in the atmosphere - Go!
    - IF you feel that nobody should tell how to act - Don't go!
    - IF you like to people watch and/or listen to some live music that fits the venue better than your personality - Go!
    - IF you aren't sure what the front of your ball cap is, but you will not conform to the designed intent - Don't go!
    - IF you can't determine the proper volume of your voice, or control your flavoring of your language with the salty words that of a sailor - Seek help!

    I love this place.  For some reason, whenever I'm out with my friends, we eventually end up here and last night was no exception.
    Kazimierz is a bit of a hideaway, there's no signage on the door.  But you see that it's a bar when you see the door guy checking for ID.  The atmosphere is always dark and cozy.  There are candles on the tables but expect to take out your cell phone to shed some light on the menu so you can read and order.
    The drinks are good and there's always a nice live band playing to croon out some tunes for you.
    Sometimes, people start dancing from wherever they are sitting so it's also a good people watching venue.
    The place can be romantic as it's dimly lit but come here as an after dinner top off as it can get quite noisy with the music playing and you will it almost impossible to hold a conversation without shouting.
    If you like live music and a cool atmosphere, come to this place, you won't regret it!

    I've been to Kazimierz many times. I keep going back because while the experience is always enjoyable, it's never exactly the same.

    It's the perfect spot to enjoy a nightcap (if you can find a seat), or slide in after a long day at work. The wine list is as expansive as you'll find in the area, and there's a bottle for every price point - some of my favorites have been under $30 a bottle, but if you've got a grand or two blowing a hole in your pocket, I'm sure they've got just the thing for you as well.

    Sometimes it's even enjoyable to walk in by myself on a weeknight, and read the wine list over a glass. It's that big.

    To me, it's the kind of place that bears checking out at least once.

    I was visiting Arizona from New York & came here to celebrate my dear friends birthday. We also came to see another friend perform with his band.

    The ambience is great. The bartenders are all very handsome guys & really gorgeous "pin up" girl looking ladies.

    I am not a wine drinker. I love wine but I get the bubble guts when I drink it (yeah, i know TMI). Anyway, it was very intimidating to hear that we were going to a wine bar.

    However, the waitress was super sweet & accomadating. They actually recreated a drink for me called a "cherry bomb" that I had at Blue Wasabi which is my new favorite drink.

    Of course, it wasn't exactly the same but it was still pretty good. I was really impressed with the fact that the waitress went out of her way to get me something that I could drink. She even stopped me at one point & said " I feel like you are not happy. I really want to make you happy". That was so super sweet of her & I gave her a very good tip for all of her efforts.

    I didn't try the food.

    The great bartenders & waitresses & live band are worth seeing. It ia a bit pricey so be prepared to spend some money. Also, the entrance is in the back of the club so it is hard to find it. Thank God my friend came out to get us.

    I will definitely be back in the future if time permits it.

    So I was very unimpressed with this wine bar. For one This place is supposed to mimic a speakeasy, but we're not in prohibition anymore so maybe make the entrance a little easier to find? After finally making it into the establishment, I found my friends at a table that they had to wait 45 minutes for. This surprised me as there were numerous couches open throughout the place, but these are apparently saved for parties of six or more. Even when the place is packed. Then the waitress failed to return to take my drink order so I was forced to make my way to the bar. The bartender took his time disengaging from the woman at the bar that he was obviously hitting on and he seemed annoyed that he had to leave to get me a glass of wine. Then there was the wine, not so great. It was a reasonably priced malbec blend from Argentina which got me pretty excited, but it had obviously been opened for far too long and the taste(or lack of) was reflected by this fact. This place should really step it up considering they're in Scottsdale or there will be no future for them in a city that demands the best.

    This wine bar is one of my favorite spots in general. Hidden in Old Town Scottsdale, you enter through a solid wooden door with a placard with the words "The Truth Is Inside" above it. It can be tricky to find so you may want to turn on your GPS for this one. Walking into Kazimierz is like walking into a warmly lit French wine cellar fit for a king. Dining options are fairly limited, but everything from the cheese plate to the Tuscan flatbread is delicious. The wine menu on the other hand is out of control. This menu comes in a colossal binder, which includes over 3,200 wines. I wish you the best of luck.

    My only complaint is that it can get pretty busy...but I mean it's fair!

    Great place to grab a drink in downtown Scottdale. I was there on business and was impressed with what I had experienced as far as a decent wine list considering it was not very extensive and delicious appetizers. If you are a meat market person, you can do alot worse to as well.

    Absolutely. In. Love. with this place. Romantic, and cool cool cool. I felt like I hit the lotto of ambience when my friend and I came here on the recommendation of a bartender at another bar. It can be tricky to find, in a underground bar sort of way- there is no sign, just a large wooden door with a sign that reads "The Truth is Inside" over it. We came when Charlie Rae was there who was absolutely AMAZING. This girl is going to be huge. Like if Ray Lamontagne and Lauren Hill had a love child. Her voice seriously gave me goosebumps. Do yourself a favor and look up her stuff. Anywho, back to Kaz Bar. This venue was dark and smelled like smoky wood and was filled with people just having a chill fantastic time enjoying wine and the amazing talent on stage. The whole audience got involved clapping, singing and dancing around. This would be a killer date spot. Didn't try the food but like the sign says, The Truth is inside. The truth is this place rocks. Can't wait to go back.

    Although we usually don't go out on a Monday night, we had a guest in town and the next day off from work so the opportunity had to be taken advantage of! I always forget about this place as it's tucked away location doesn't lend itself to a highly visible sign to jog my memory.
    There was a jazz band playing and a $5pp cover charge. We opted for cocktails this evening rather than wine. Although they were very good, two of the selections we wanted were "out", which is a little odd.
    We got the tomato-mozz flatbread, the manchego cheese and the fondue as well. Everything tasted very delicious as we cleaned out plates! Service was good and the decor in this place is so awesome. It makes you feel like you're in the basement of some speakeasy. Bar stool tables, couches, it's very cozy, dim, cool. Need to come here more often!

    Kaz is a unique, wine and jazz lounge in the heart of Old Town.

    They have a unique and varied wine selection. Be sure and take the opportunity to stray out of your comfort zone and try something new. Try the Batič from Slovenia. Maybe you'll like it; maybe you won't. But at least you'll know how you feel about orange, yes orange, wine.

    Two of the bartenders I know the most, Ryan and Alexa, are awesome. They are extremely helpful in recommending new wines and are super-friendly. Everyone else has been great.

    The kitchen is open late. I haven't had issues ordering a plate of hummus at 1 am. A new addition to their menu is the Smoked Egg Pate, which I highly, highly recommend. If you opt for the cheese board, be sure and try the Humboldt Fog (if available).

    I've always been happy with the music in this venue.

    My only gripe about this place is not knowing whether or not there will be a cover and how much the cover is.

    I've been here many times, on girl's night on dates and each time it's the same, great wine list, great small plates with a wonderful assortment (such as olives and cranberries and cheese) which may not sound great together but with the perfect wine, it is in fact, quite good.  The service is always on point, especially considering how crowded it usually is.  On this particular night, there was a band, which I quite enjoyed however made it quite difficult to enjoy conversation and the company. Overall, a great experience but get there early as seating is limited and there will be a wait.

    Wonderful selection of wine.  The live Jazz band was incredible and had everyone dancing.  I wish we had more wine bars with live music in NJ.

    Such a cool place, the atmosphere is on point with your typical 1920's speakeasy.  The food was great!  Try the 3 cheese fondue with bread and apples and for something phenomenal I would suggest trying the Santa Fe with onions.  (Trust me the onions make ALL the difference).  It's semi-affordable and I was full by the end of the meal!

    I tried this place for the first time for Valentines Day. They were offering a fondue and wine special, but had the regular menu open as well. The special was great--for $49 a couple, we had a salad, cheese fondue, chocolate fondue, champagne, wine, and port.  Our waitress told us honestly that the portions weren't too sizeable, so we did also order an additional olive and cheese plate. (Honestly, we probably could have done without but wanted to splurge a bit since it was Valentine's day.)

    The quality of the food was excellent! I really want to get the recipe to the chopped salad! The fondue was pretty tasty as well--not as good as Melting Pot, but much better for the price!

    We liked the atmosphere even more than the food. Having to enter through the back (as you would for "any good speakeasy") added a fun and exclusive element.  Once inside, the tables are lit romantically by candelight. Around 9pm, towards the end of our meal, the jazz group began playing. They're definitely talented! Of course, if you want a more "quiet" atmosphere, I'd come before they start. :)

    I'm excited to go back and try Kazimierz on a normal night!

    Came here on a sat night and paid a $5 cover at the door; it was packed.

    Great live music, otherwise it would have been 2 stars. I come from the land of table minimums, great cocktails and NO cover charges. So what I don't like is waiting 10 min for service (severely understaffed) and to be told that there's no cocktail menu, and that they "encourage people to order bottles of wine." Excuse me, but where exactly am I supposed to stick both a glass and a bottle, on my head? Well I've got a better suggestion for you as to where I'd stick it. My overpriced cocktail sucked by the way. Come here early when you can still hog a table for the whole night, or opt for a week day. And stick to wine, we would have, only we'd already started the night with other spirits.

    This place is swanky and looks like a good place ot just cozy up with a date on a couch or sit around a small table with a group of friends to chat.  I liked the chill crowd.  I imagine it is because of the house rules that basically do not allow f-bombs, baseball caps, and other bro-like behaviors.  I am not much of a drinker, but my friends liked the beer/wine selection.  Our server was pretty nice and was pretty s3xy without being skanky.

    If you're ever looking for the perfect date-night-spot... you just found it.

    Dim lights, sexy music, amazing decor... and lots of delicious alcohol. Wine and champagne selection is FABULOUS. They let you sample the wine before ordering the glass... which is a foolproof way of getting more tipsy than you anticipated... OH WELL.

    No judging, but honestly, I ordered their Tuscany pizza, lol. I WAS HUNGRY! Surprisingly, pizza and wine are perfect together. They are very light on the sauce, so if you prefer heavy sauce... let them know ahead of time.

    Not to mention, the bartenders are very easy on the eyes. I was on a date, though, so I had to keep myself in check. If you're not, enjoy the eye candy! ;)

    I have been back several times since my original visit and this place still gets a five star review.  The wine list continues to amaze me every time I go in.  I have gone in with my friend who is in the wheelchair and they continue to be super accommodating in helping us get a table and make our way to the table.  Other customers could use some lessons in manners but that is another story.

    Specials continue to rotate in and never disappoint me.  Music is perfect, not too loud and not too quiet.  This is a great intimate spot for first dates or to gather with friends for drinks  The servers continue to be very knowledgeable about the wines they serve and are able to pair the lay terms your use to describe what you like to the perfect wine for you.

    Can't wait to get back for another glass of wine.

    Loved this place! Went last night with a friend and we will be back. The wine and the cheese fondue were delicious. Fondue took a little longer then expected but they had a new chef and we understand. They were very apologetic about it and handled
    It well.

    OVERALL:
    --------------
    If you can find it, then you will enjoy very good food and attentive service (although they get really busy on weekends, so get there early).  And there are only two single bathrooms, so head to the restroom before you "gotta go."

    DRINKS:
    ------------
    A HUGE (this would have been so much more impactful if I could have written it in bold in a really large font) selection of wines by the bottle and glass at all different price points.

    FOOD:
    ---------
    Good variety and delish dishes that are great for sharing with your companion.  As an aside, bring a companion here with you!

    AMBIENCE:
    ----------------
    Dark, sexy, cavelike vibe.  Live music on certain days, so check the website or call ahead because there aren't too many quiet corners for conversation after the tunes start.

    Came here on a Saturday at the end of restaurant week- the bar was busy, nowhere to sit.. sigh. Out of nowhere comes this wonderful woman, asking the three of us if we would like a table in the back, in the "wine cave." We jumped at her offer, and with that sat down on a very comfortable couch with three glasses of wonderful wine.

    I am not giving Kazimierz 3 stars because of the actual bar, but because of its clientele. No thanks. Older, 30k millionaires. Not a fan!

    The night is hot and sticky. The streets of old town have an eerily abandoned feeling as we realize it's 9pm on a Friday night and we are the only pedestrians around. Even in a sundress and sandals, I feel my skin glow with perspiration. After a bit of wandering, we realize we might be lost when I see a corridor lined with vines and trellises and my intuition and sense of adventure tells me to follow it. I grab his hand and lead the way blindly. He begins questioning my decision when I see a mysterious wooden door and before he can finish objecting we realize we found our way to the truth within.

    We step inside and it feels like we found the closet that leads to Narnia. We walk into another world. Another time. Relaxed sounds of jazz caress our ears as our eyes adjust to the darkness and candlelight. We take in the old world feel, the stone, the wood, the beautiful sleek bar...that seems to be beckoning us to sit. Couples and groups of friends absorbed in each other on cushy couches and stools all with a sense of privacy and feeling that there is no world outside of this place and there is no moment other than now. His eyes meet mine and we know this is exactly where we want to be.

    As we settle in at the bar, helpful suggestions are ready when we ask. He orders for me, as only seems appropriate in this mysterious and romantic era. Pinot Noir, Cabernet, plates of pâté, soppressata, brie, stilton white with cherries. I can taste the pure indulgence dripping off the mere words as they leave his mouth. The wine flows and the food is plentiful. Every sip, every bite, is something to savor and worthy of noting. Our conversation, whispers of love and beauty in each other's ears, lips close enough for a kiss. Knowledge of another world, remembrances of anyone else is lost as we fall under the spell that is Kazimierz.

    When the night is over and we have no choice but to go back to where we came from, we reluctantly step back out into the warm, heavy night air greeted by sounds of traffic and rickshaw drivers ringing their bells. But as we leave, we take with us a secret. A sexy, decadent, mysterious secret that lies behind an old wooden door in the heart of old town.

    The only way to discover that secret is to seek out that door and enter it yourself.

    4.5 stars! I came here with a 13+ party on a Tuesday to celebrate my birthday! MY favorite friends and fellow Yelpers (Julie, Angela, Patricia, Kevin, Daniel, Rita, Monica, Felicia, Ryan) ordered almost everything on the menu and had some wine! All of my friends had only positive things to say about the place. I was hoping my friends would like the place since it was a 25+ minute drive on our school night!

    The ambiance is dark & mysterious. We were just finishing up our wine and dinner before the live band was about to play. Waitress was nice and I only heard good things about the place! One thing though, the place is hidden -- You'll have to walk into an alley and get inside through a hidden door. As my friends would say, its a great place for a first date. There are lots of couches and side tables that make the place intimate and cozy. An awesome find!

    PS.... In terms of wine, Guntrum Scheurebe Kabinett is one of my favorites ;)

    Note: I gave them a 5 star rating because they allowed my friends to bring and light 20+ home made cupcakes. I must also note that gratuity was 20% here.

    Oh dear does this jack off of a place deserve a whole star? Ahh NO!  As most people can see I rarely leave a crappy review.  I try to leave the most positive feedback as the world seems miserable enough without additional negative feedback online.  

    Friday night, had a cocktail at AZ88 with a great experience and met a few people that were headed over to Kazimierz.  I have been here before, when I used to vacation here (I now live here) and I remember vaguely not being overly happy.  Now I know I hate this place.  

    First of all the place is way too dark, light some more candles, turn up a light or two, do something.  Next well over 60% of the wines on their "Wine List" they don't have.  Imagine that.  I remember this happening the last time, years ago.  Funny how I forgot.  

    Next the place is hidden behind other restaurants and you have to search for it and there is no actual sign, just some stupid riddle.  

    Lets go back to Friday night, apparently they had a band. So they thinks they deserve a cover charge for the band, that isn't really good anyway.  So 2 people @ $5.00, spent at door.  Only to walk in and find the same dark space, crappy band, and no WINE!!!  Needless to say I had to settle for warm crap wine only to have the bartenders be rude and combative.  

    I attend a lot of fine establishments here in Scottsdale and it seems that when you head down to any place in Old Towne, you end up with rude, young, inexperienced staff and this is a fine collection of that.  Then to add cover to crappy service, really irritates me.  

    Worry not, Kazimierz will surely be out of business soon with this level of service and stock of wine.

    If you're looking for a super lounge-y relaxed kind of place, Kazimierz is so the place to go! They have an awesome cheese platter and a million different types of wine to try. It's a very laid back kind of place and the servers are very helpful when trying to decide which wines to try next.

    It is kind of dark and pretty loud... but you're in Old Town, it's kind of expected :P

    Super sexy place! Great for dates, live music, relaxing cocktail with a friend! I'm not sure what I like more, the sexy ambiance or that they have different wines all the time! Very dim lighting, stone walls, stained-glass windows, there isn't even a sign outside the wooden door you walk in.

    Food is amazing. Pretzel break app is super good also the duck confit flat bread was TO DIE FOR.

    Don't forget, usually there is a cover and its small, so make reservations or the earlier the better. Yet, TOTALLY WORTH IT.

    I love Kaz!

    It is sexy.  It is cool.  It is dimly lit.  It is perfect for conversation with friends or a lover.
    It is a perfect date spot.  It is a perfect pick up spot.  It is everything you want it to be... and more.

    The fondue is delicious.  The cheese plate is great.  The wine flights are fun.  They have a pretty good selection of champagne and wine.  

    Did I mention it is sexy?

    The only negative is you will probably need reservations MOST weekend nights in order to get a table right away.  Otherwise, expect a wait.

    Cool and off beat yet close to everything.  

    I frequent Kazimierz about two - three times per year. I have never had a bad time here; I think it would be hard too.  It is in the heart of Old Town but somehow manages to not have the douche-bag clientele that goes with the area.  It is dimly lit and the decor is eclectic.  There is a map of the world made of pennies that is the backdrop for the live bands.  

    When I first moved to AZ 3 years ago I had my birthday party here and I decided to have my birthday here this year as well.  OK, well it was birthday 2012 part deux.  I had just returned from celebrating my birthday in Atlanta a couple of day before: See Nikko Bisto review.  

    We had a reserved couch that was in perfect position to see the live band. To my surprise the band for the evening was Elvis Before Noon!  I love that band and Mr. Peabody, this to me was a great gift.  I say that because that was the first time they played at Kaz.  They sang happy birthday, the Beach boys version.  Fun.

    I gave 4 stars because our waitress was not very attentive.  Our bill was over $500 for about 5 or 6 people and she was not worth her tip at all.  We seemed to be in a miserable mood and was just not coming around enough and was not very good at presenting the food and drinks.  Also, I know she was not a sommelier but she was not too good at wine recommendations either.  Hey this is a WINE bar.

    Aside from our server we had a great time here as usual.  They have a great wine menu as well as a full bar.  The food is really good.  They have a really good cheese board and anti-pasta.  The hummus is also very tasty as is the flatbread.  I think you get my point; it is all good.  Will be back soon.

    My fiance, my sister and me went here for an early dinner on a Friday night in February.  We'd heard great things and were eager to try it.

    Even though the place was practically empty, we had the WORST, most inattentive server I've ever had.  She spent most of her time chatting with the bartender.  Our drinks took forever, our hummus (while very good) took forever and the fact that we were so ignored that we never even got silverware, made the dinner unbearable.  
    We were able to get one round of drinks and a hummus and antipasto platter before we decided we couldn't take it anymore and asked for the check.

    To top it all off, I sent an email to the address on their website about the poor service and experience we had, and no one emailed me back. No one called me about it to apologize.  I will NEVER return here. Spend your money somewhere where they actually care about their customers.

    I've been to Kazimierz several times, and am finally writing a review.  I'm not big on Scottsdale, so I always forget that its there, which is a shame, because it's such a great place!  I went on Sunday night to have a drink with a friend.  We were met at the door by a nice gentleman who told us that there's a $5 cover charge, which helps to pay the band's fee for the evening, and that we could add the cover charge to our bill if we would like!  Love that!  How many times have you gone somewhere with a cover and you don't have cash on you?  So I love that they make it convenient for you by just adding it to your bill.

    Live music spots are few and far between in the Phoenix area, so the fact that they have a trio playing on a Sunday night is a huge plus!  The wine list is extensive, and you're sure to find a fabulous wine to enjoy for the evening!  Also, the ambiance is great because it's so dark and romantic in there!  I also love that it's not sitting on a corner in Scottsdale with a big sign for all to see!  If you don't know where this place is already, it can be difficult to find.  Just an unmarked wood door behind Cowboy Ciao.

    Lastly, the bartenders are great and very personable!  Unlike the typical Scottsdale hangout, this place is completely unpretentious and usually has a good mix of people, from young to old and black to white!  

    I need to make it a point to start visiting this place more often! :)

    I can see myself coming here a few times a month, easy.

    The dark atmosphere, the live music, the wine, the finger foods, the great service, these all add up to a fantastic evening. The company I was with  just made it that much better.

    Let's put it this way, I just moved to Scottsdale from Manhattan about two weeks ago and I had already heard about Kazimierz from at least three different people. With such a great reputation from word of mouth alone, I had to come check it out.

    We told our cocktail server that we were looking for a bottle. Specifically a Cabernet blend with either Shiraz or Petite Syrah. She offered her suggestion of the Australian Cab/Shiraz blend called The Scribbler at $35, and after a quick taste, we went for it and loved every drop.

    The only thing I didn't care for was volume of the band. Perhaps it was because we were too close to the front, but they were pretty loud. It made conversation difficult, I found myself shouting at times.

    The service is great, they're on top of things without constantly interrupting your conversation.

    The bathrooms are neat and tidy as well! I love me a clean bathroom, who doesn't?

    You'll definitely see me here on a regular basis.

    This is truly a one of a kind spot in Scottsdale. It's cozy, it's intimate, it's secretive and its a great choice for a glass of vino by candlelight. If you're lucky, you might even visit on a night with live jazz music.

    Kazmierz is a wine bar that feels like your in the basement wine cellar of a castle. The entrance is hidden (but not really...it's just in the back). If you visit on a weekend night, it's likely that you'll have to search and possibly wait for a seat because it's seat yourself. This isn't really a place for dinner but rather some good wine and maybe a cheese board or two. Oh and don't forget about the music! Like I mentioned, they do a great job of bringing in local musicians to sing while you sip.

    I've been here 3 or 4 times before and the service is always spotty to non-existent, with the added insult of unfriendly staff. We came in last Saturday and sat there for at least a full 10-15 mins. before I went up to the bar to politely see about getting some table service. How does the bartender reply to one of his valued patrons? "Oh, yeah, are you at the table with the other guy glaring at me? You're supposed to wait to be seated."

    No kidding.

    In all the times I've EVER been in there was no hostess service, let alone a "please wait to be seated sign". Plus, it's so dark in there they can't see you anyway! We had to read the table menu by iPhone light.

    So, when the waitress finally does show up, is she apologetic, congenial...friendly in any fashion (not that I really expected her to be)? I re-iterate that we'd been waiting quite a while, and she snidely, rudely comes back with, "Well, you should have waited to be seated. Or perhaps you shouldn't be served at all."

    Once again, no kidding, folks. We'd had a couple of glasses across the street, but were very much in control of our faculties. Since when does complaining or commenting about being ignored equate to "non-servableness"? And a COMPLETELY rude and uncalled for tone towards the customer???

    Is it any wonder in the world that your waitstaff gets told off and your full-of-itself establishment written off, when YOU create these situations through incompetence?

    Skip Kazimierz and head to AZ Wine Co., Atlas Bistro, Citizen Public House, and AZ88 where the staff are fun, friendly, competent, and know what great service is all about.
