    No better seafood on the west coast. Pricey, but worth every penny. The service was a cut above from the front desk to departure. We had the extraordinary experience by being served by a truly exceptional server named Hannah. It was a perfect 55th anniversary celebration.

    This was our second visit. We had the crab arancini appetizer, lemon spaghetti with shrimp and added lobster, and a couple of gin-based cocktails. It was one of the best meals I've ever had. The lobster was sweet and tender. The lemon pasta was creamy and delightful! Wonderful ambiance! Our server, Sarah K, was so sweet, and she described in great detail the popular menu items.

    Most adorable server we've had at a restaurant in a long time. He was very attentive and had a wonderful smile. He made good recommendations when asked. Decor is neutral tones. Love that the tables aren't on-top of each other. Lends to having table-only conversations. Food, while unique offerings, was very rich. We ordered the broccolini to thin/healthy the meal out, but it was so covered in toppings that it was hard to identify. That was the only item we didn't end up eating. The calamari were so light and crispy. Not at all chewy. They were perfectly cooked. Our server stated that the idea was to eat family style so everyone gets a taste, but it's certainly not a must. That said, everyone was interested to taste each item...including the final course, a pistachio sundae. Not cheap, but nothing in Scottsdale is.
