| - We'd been wanting to try this place for awhile, so when I was able to buy a groupon for dinner we decided to try it. The restaurant itself looks like a huge bar. I didn't like that the waitress tried to seat us immediately by the door although there were several empty tables. We ordered fried zucchini for appetizers, a Caesar and wedge salad for starters. We also ordered the trout and broccoli/cauliflower au gratin and the "baseball" sirloin and French fries. The zucchini was too thinly cut to hold onto the batter and as a result it tasted greasy - the dip wasn't bad. The plates that they brought out were warm to the touch so that our salads were not as crisp as we usually like. That being said, they were just ok. The salad dressing was not cold, the lettuce was warm, thought they could have made more of an effort. The "wedge" was a quarter head of ice berg w/bacon and some type of ranch dressing priced at $7.00. Not very appetizing to look at and did not taste it either. I was looking forward to a good steak so when my entrée arrived I was a bit taken aback by the size of it - it was really small for a sirloin - it wasn't your usual strip like you would see in a steak restaurant - it was the size of the palm of my hand - I had not ordered a fillet. That being said, I was hoping that the flavor would make up for it. I had ordered the steak medium well. I took one bite and almost choked, I could barely chew it was so over cooked. This was the worst steak I had ever eaten - anywhere! Way overcooked! Awful! Most chefs that have cooked steak know the differences between medium, medium well and well. This one did not. They had also seasoned everything with some kind of spice - the steak, the fries - even my husband's trout had a weird taste to it. On top of the that a waiter brought my husband potatoes au gratin instead of the vegetable au gratin he had ordered. Our waiter did not serve us, someone else did and he was wandering around with our plates for each course looking confused as though he didn't know which table had ordered them. We had to tell him. The final surprise came when we got the bill, for the amount of food, the quality of the food and given the surroundings I would not have expected the bill to exceed $80. It was the worse meal we've had in a long time - aside from that, I thought the restaurant had a plastic vibe to it - Ocotillo isn't Scottsdale - this restaurant is overpriced, the food is inferior and we will never go back. Yuk!
