We love this place and come often when we travel to Scottsdale. This time we showed up at 8:07 for our 8:00 pm reservation. Our waiters came to the table about 5 minutes later and said “are you ready to order?” What our drinks, an appetizer? He did that 3 or 4 more times. He also put in one wrong entree. Do not accept 8:00 pm reservations if you expect guests to be done at 9:00. It will be a while before we return.

Delicious food and great service! I wish they had served bread but it’s probably good they didn’t. Summer menu so looking forward to going back for their winter menu soon.
