Quality shopping centre with good restaurants and a modern cinema complex. Really liked the pool/lake setting. Nothing to dislike.

This is a fun place to go to shop and eat. Overall it's clean and pleasant. The restaurants we tried were all quite good. Somehow it makes me feel guilty sitting beside the river in the middle of the desert - it seems kind of wanton.

Just a fancy strip mall, nothing special. Very overhyped. I at least expected that there would be nice water affects but wasn't to be.

First class outdoor shopping center, with several very fine restaurants, Flemings, P.F. Chang, Cheesecake Factory, Acqua Pazza (though this is not my favorite). Shops, theaters, stores, small food establishments (tacos, etc.) and the grounds are a delight just to stroll through.

I love this spot. A man made pond with restaurants and great shopping. At least that's how I remember it. Only all the shopping is gone, leaving boarded up and empty shops. The restaurants are still there and are good. But it has now become just a place to eat, forget the shopping.

A lot of thought went into the design and layout of this friendly outdoor mall. It's wonderful to simply meander around and enjoy the beauty of the flowers alongside the sparkling manmade river. The dining choices are superb and so are the unique little shops. Each time we visit we find a new place to explore. Stop for a snack,... More

Very nice place to stroll around in the late afternoon, lots of eateries to go to, nice unique shops, mix with the more mainstream ones, a little bit for everyone.

Great place for dinner, lunch, or anything in between. Lots of eating choices and a movie theatre too. Lots of parking. If you go after 7pm you will probably have a bit of a wait at the most popular restaurants.

We go to the movie theater here also like to have coffee or eat and one of the large restaurants. Nice to place to hang out while waiting for the kids in the movie or just sit and people watch.
