| - I'm so glad we found this place on Yelp! I knew we were going to be staying a night in Old Town and was looking for a place close to the hotel that had foie gras on the menu (I live in CA where it's illegal...wth?) and I found this place. My boyfriend has never tried it before and was looking forward to seeing what the fuss was about. When we got there it was almost empty, but that's probably because someone is literally trying to cook AZ this time of year and no one wants to go out when it's 150 degrees.
It's a pretty small space but it's decorated nicely and the waitresses all wear these black lace dresses and have on red lipstick. It seemed very Robert Palmeresque, which is fine by me. Our waitress was very informative and told us this was actually a , whiskey tasting bar...I could see my boyfriends face light up when she said that. She also informed us that they were going to be changing the menu and the chef's were doing some sort of chef's whim appetizer where you don't know what you're going to get. Sounds good to me! We ordered the foie gras....they were out!!! Oh no, this is what we came for! Oh well, we ordered the chef's whim and a flight of whiskey's to try. We also ordered a cocktail that was their take on a whiskey sour.
Our surprise app was swordfish, but it wasn't just swordfish, it was the best swordfish either of us have ever had! I don't know what all they did to it because it was their whim and it wasn't described on the menu...all I can say about that is trust the chef! If they do that whim thing again and you're there, get it! We loved the cocktail and our favorite whiskey was the Maker's Mark 46.
We were going to order another app when our waitress informed us that the chef found a 2 oz. serving of foie gras and said he would make us something with it if we would let him do the whim thingy...again, do the whim! Of course we did it. Oh My God it was sooo good! Now my boyfriend knows why I've been whining about this stupid duck liver ban in CA. Ridiculous hippies! People should have foie gras everywhere! It seemed like it was panseared and placed on top of toasted brioche with some sort of fruit sauce. It was not only beautiful, but probably one of the best things I've eaten in a really long time.
Anyway, if you have the pleasure of trying this place, I would tell you to get whatever the chef's making that day because he really knows what he's doing. And the waitress was so friendly and gave us a great happy hour experience. We both agreed that this place was our favorite place we tried in Scottsdale.
