| - Literally hours after my not-so-positive review of this establishment two years ago, I was contacted by a marketing representative of the company, who put me in direct contact with Damon, the GM of the Scottsdale location at which we had our unfortunate anniversary dinner. Not only did we speak at length about that what had occurred and he apologized profusely, he sent us a $50 gift card and told me to contact him next time we visited. To this day, it is by far the most amazing response I've ever had from a negative review. We were definitely going to give them another shot, they deserved it! However, the next time we visited was two years later--two weeks ago. (Yep, we still had the gift card.)
Called the night before to confirm our reservation and asked if Damon would be around the following evening, a Monday. I was told it was his days off were on Mondays and Tuesdays. Which was fine, I didn't want to make a big deal about it anyway after two years. Surprisingly, when we arrived the next night, he was there! Greeted us by name. Made sure we were comfortable. Checked in on us a couple of times. Did the man come in on Monday night just for us? (Dressed to the nines, I might add.) Never did find out, but I would like to think so.
We had a wonderful dinner outside on the front patio. Our server, Nico, a very nice young man, provided excellent service. Our appetizers and entrees were all seafood, which was ridiculously fresh. The sashimi and oysters were especially delicious. My martini was excellent. Can I just rave about the bread as well? Yum!
It was a great night. All is forgiven, Damon & Wildfish Seafood Grille. Much appreciated, and you'll see us again!
