I returned after a not so great first experience and I must say considerable improvements have been made in service and in food. While I find the spicy ponzu atomic in heat the house sauce and wasabi citrus is my go to sauce of late. Toppings are fresh and the portions are LARGE.

It's been a few years since I've been to Stats, but the 3 times that I've gone, I really enjoyed it. The food is pretty decent and the atmosphere is cool. Its a big place, but the layout is kind of confusing. Overall, its a cool place to hangout. I've never gone there to wait any sporting event, so I'm not sure how it is as far as that goes, but I like going here with a group of friends.

The baristas and managers at this location are top notch. Since I used to be a Starbucks partner myself, I can be a little picky. They always do their best to make sure my drink is right, and that is always a plus. Some of the baristas there also have infectious smiles. Go prepared to wait a little bit. They're always pretty busy because of the prime location and small lobby. But go knowing that your customer service experience will be great (and if it isn't then just talk to their great manager - she's the best!). Five stars easily.

So I'm so not a thoroughbred in the overzealous whole food-whole grain-gluten free-I drink liquids for 30 days - movement. I'm young, Southern and love food so I eat it ALL, in moderation then live "right" every other time. I got on my juicing kick two years ago, buying myself a Breville juicer and last year got the BlendTec for my smoothies after breaking many a blender. But seriously, who wants to chop greens and fruits all day and grocery shop every other day because their produce goes in that drawer where all produce goes to die??? Not I, said the cat. Arden's staff was super nice, and when I told the guy that the last time I had wheatgrass I thought my system was shutting down in slow motion, he offered to take a shot with me. Grand Slam, pineapple chaser afterwards so I couldn't taste the cran or wheatgrass. Perfect! I followed that with a 16oz smoothie and some juices to try - Yoga 1, Recovery & MultiMax. It all came out to about $18, so the pricing is good. This will be my go-to spot now when I don't want to juice, because unless you have that masticating commercial-use juice extractor, you're wasting quite a bit of your leafy greens as "pulp" juicing at home.

My daughter and I ate here last week during a trip to Disneyworld. After eating Disney food for three days, this place was a godsend. The food was amazing. Our wonderful waiter, Vinnie, recommended the It's not Bleedin' Chowder. What a dish. Fresh chunks of salmon, mussels, potatoes and more seafood in cream and wine sauce. It was divine. I want to eat it again and again, but alas, I live in California and will just have to do with the memories. All of the food that came out of the kitchen looked fresh and beautifully prepared and we wished we could have sampled the entire menu. This is great food. We also enjoyed the bread pudding for dessert, my daughter had fish and chips and we had a cheese tart appetizer. We could have skipped the tart as it was just ok. But the bread pudding was fabulous and enough to feed four people. Make sure to get a table in the main room. We sat right next to the stage and it would have been a completely different experience had we not been in the main room. The musicians were great, so talented and we could have listened to them all night. The Irish dancers were fun to watch and while some of them were quite good, a few of them were just phoning it in. All in all, a great way to spend a night when you're visiting Disney.

Great sushi, great service. The nigiri is my go to, but the specialty roles are good too. Cocktails are good, and they'll let you order while you wait for a table which is nice. Sometimes there can be a wait because they don't do reservations, but it's always worth it.
