    Beautiful spot. Very loud with the amazing live entertainment. Drinks were great. It is pricey but worth the money. Only downs were that the chicken order felt like Costco frozen nuggets, nothing elegant about them to match the vibes of the restaurant. Also, didn’t realize that our reservation had a time limit but that might’ve been my fault and didn’t read it. Overall a 5 star place, very excited to go back!

    This is one of the loveliest and most elegant -- yet hip restaurants we go to when we visit Scottsdale. We had a wonderful server and the manager stopped by during our meal to say hello. The bar is beautiful and we sat at a high top table for 4.The steak was prepared perfectly to our request. It was delicious and served on the wicked hot plates was amazing. It is expensive but well worth it when taking time to enjoy a bit of luxury! We'll be back!!!!!

    From the appetizer to the dessert, everything was delicious. Highly recommend the caesar salad. All portions are large enough to share or so what we did, and take home the extras!

    Exceeded my expectations! Fish was fresh with thick pieces, the color changing vodka drink was so refreshing! Love how good we were treated and there was no hesitation to giving my babies cucumber slices. Love that they had fresh and pickled wasabi, that scaled my ranking past 10 for sure. Def coming back!
