    Ashton was a delightful server with knowledge of the menu. The dishes are very creative and portioned perfectly. For a fairly new restaurant they have hit their stride with alacrity!

    My friends liked their hamburger and cubano sandwiches. My pork bowl was OK but not that flavorful.

    Service was slower paced than normal but food did turn quickly once ordered. Everything we ordered was delicious! Looove the patio!

    Lovely, classy, quiet patio in the middle of Old Scottsdale. All four of us had the burger which was exceptional. Fries were fine (not amazing) and the brussel sprouts were unique and delicious. Will definitely go again.

    First time eating here, though we've been often to The Gladly and Citizen's Public House. I ordered the burger which I found very disappointing. First time out, tepid temp, unmelted cheese. To his credit our waiter took it right back to bring me a new one. This one was certainly hotter, but the taste, texture and thickness of the burger was disappointing, certainly when compared to comparably priced places - I'd note that I really have enjoyed the burgers at Public House. My wife ordered the special and was pleased overall. The restaurant is very, very casual.
