Came in to use a Local Dines certificate expiring tonight. It being a Tuesday, I could've taken advantage of their bruschettas, cheese and charcuterie plates, and beverage specials (wine and other beverages) offered on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 7p to close, but since I had a discounted certificate, I had to postpone trying these out until another time. Instead, I decided to check out a couple of RnR's burgers and a pint of Angry Orchard cider ($6). The cider was served very cold (perfect after I slipped a koozie on the glass) and tasted "mah-velous, absolutely mah-velous!"
Server Sibby/Siby was friendly and upbeat, as well as patient with all my questions regarding the food and beverage menus, as well as a few concerns I had regarding ingredients on a few dessert items. Not once did she make me feel like I was a burden. I wouldn't hesitate to ask to be seated at her tables!
Not only was Sibby a delight to have as a server, but she was also a great help in steering me towards the right direction when I asked her which of the two was better, sweet potato fries or tots (she said tots; I asked if I could go half-and-half, and she said yes) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rnr-scottsdale?select=8z6nhnprgC3psPCRuAiH-Q#8z6nhnprgC3psPCRuAiH-Q, as well as my checking out the Bacon Brussels Burger, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rnr-scottsdale?select=46gN0ZHqMW8--oYt-Y5I_w#46gN0ZHqMW8--oYt-Y5I_w which would still taste great without the raspberry demi glace (which contained cornstarch, an ingredient I'm allergic to). This burger tasted wonderful! Made with jarlsberg cheese, applewood bacon, fried Brussels sprouts, onion jam, and a pretzel bun, this burger was definitely sweeter in flavor (due to the toastiness of the sprouts, as well as the addition of the onion jam- heaven!) and made for an agreeable contrast after the few bites I had of the Southwest Burger. The salty (but in a good way!), pleasing number consisted of pepperjack cheese, chopped green chiles, smoked bacon, crispy onion straws, and a garlic aioli, nestled in a challah bun. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rnr-scottsdale?select=sWWUYOIEaqrmxOe2hqpzfg#sWWUYOIEaqrmxOe2hqpzfg I had to opt out of the guacamole, but I didn't think it suffered from its absence. As for the parmesan fries that came with the second burger, I didn't care much for them, because one, they weren't very flavorful, despite the addition of the parmesan, and two, the presentation wasn't as nice as it could've been, and had they tasted great, the presentation would not have mattered. Next time, I'm going with lots and lots of sweet potato tots!
