So the husband has taken my yelping as a mission to find new and better places recently. Going to the Copper Door was his idea, but I won't hold it against him.\n\nOn a Sunday night for dinner this place was EMPTY. Well, not completely empty, there was one other couple in the entire restaurant. The atmosphere is beautiful: wonderful photographs of old Phoenix, a baby grand piano, and the most beautiful ceiling tiles I've ever seen (not that I make a habit out of looking at the ceiling).\n\nWe both ordered the iced tea, and it was incredibly delicious. I have a feeling that they add just a shriggle of sugar to cut down on the typical bitter flavor of tea, without making it sweet.\n\nAs Maria F. states, the menu does claim to have vegan options. I saw three that were labled vegan, although one contained honey. I would doubt their understanding of what is vegan food.\n\nThen came our meals. Mine was the artichoke and cheese stuffed ravioli with shrimp, or at least it was supposed to be. When the waiter brought out my dish, it was just plate of raviolis. I thought at first that I misunderstood, and that maybe the shrimp was inside the pasta. So I tried to cut open the pasta and I had to put muscle into it. To my dismay, no shrimp. I told the waiter that I ordered shrimp, he looked confused and said he would be back. He came back 3-5 minutes later to say that he would take my plate and be back. About 10 minutes later I get the same dried-out, hard pasta raviolis with 4 shrimp. The waiter said he put extra on. Extra what? \n\nThe husband's well-done burger was medium at best. While I was waiting for my food, he said that he had eaten better and larger burgers at Seamus's next door.\n\nLuckily, the waiter didn't charge us the full $17 for the man's undercooked meat patty and a side of cottage cheese, just $10. And he didn't add the $5 to my $17 dish for the shrimp, not even the extra one. And the hostess saw us at Seamus's afterwards and was dissappointed about our experience. She was very helpful, nice and gave us a 15% off coupon for lunch which she said was very good and not as pricey. I might give them another chance, but it won't be at dinnertime.
