The Blue Clover Distillery recently opened in Downtown Scottsdale in the spot where Eddies House used to be. This is Scottsdale's first Distillery. You can get some house made spirits here! This is a casual restaurant with wait service. The menu is mostly casual food but much of the food is laced with New Mexican Peppers. Inside are regular tables, a bar and community high tops. Outside is a patio and bar.
My husband had the Spicy Shrimp Scampi Bacon Grilled Cheese with Sweet Potato Tater Tots. He said it was very tasty and the shrimp were cooked nice. We think it was the Vodka Prickly Pear Jam that made it special. On the side were Sweet Potato Tater Tots that we both thought were great!
I ordered the Corn Bowl with added Chicken. I didn't know if I wanted the small or large so I asked the waitress to show me with her hands the difference in size. She said the small is just an appetizer so I went with the large. I received a bowl of mostly mixed greens and a lot of chicken. I don't know why this plate is called a corn bowl because it only contained trace amounts of corn. My salad also was suppose to contain many other ingredients that also were all (or maybe not?) given out in trace amounts. I thought the house made BC. Mezcal Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette was very good but WAY TO POWERFUL for this very delicate salad. The salad would have been VERY GOOD IF it contained more corn, beans and cheese to balance out the strong dressing. The chicken was good in my salad and they gave me far more than I wanted to eat.......but the Chicken was PRE-COOKED and served refrigerator cold.
I rarely ever complain about pricing but I feel an $18.00 meal called a CORN BOWL should contain more than trace amounts of CORN and the other main issue I had was a $18.00 Corn Bowl with Chicken should be made with Just Cooked Hot Juicy Chicken...not pre-cooked and cold.
The Chef himself did make an appearance at our table and asked us how things were. At that moment I was upset about my meal and I just said it was "OK" because that was the truth...OK at best. I didn't feel like talking to him because it's obvious that a Corn Bowl should have corn and an $18.00 meal should be made fresh to order. I didn't feel I could say it in a nice way at the time.
It's TOTALLY possible I ordered the ONE HICCUP on the menu.
At the time of this review this restaurant is newly opened and may still be working things out.
