    This restaurant is overpriced for the quality of the food. My $44 halibut was dried out and overpowered by a tomato based sauce that smothered the entire dish- do not order this. My husband's chicken was in a tasty sauce,but also overcooked and tough. The chopped salad was very good, however, and while we shared that, it would have been great for an entree.

    My husband and I had dinner at the bar. We had a great meal of the bacon fat popcorn, house chopped salad, short ribs and the bananas foster bread pudding. Jacob our bartender was great and made a delicious chocolate martini. Can’t wait to come back next year!

    The food, drinks and atmosphere were fantastic, but it was our server Torrey who really made our experience phenomenal. She was engaging, attentive, and energetic. The restaurant is lucky to have her! When we are back in AZ, we will be sure to return here!
