| - Another new restaurant that we have tried that we can check off the list. We will not be adding it to the list of "favs".
I would go back to accommodate another persons desire to go, but I wouldn't go back out of choice.
The food scene in Phoenix is rapidly growing, but lately I haven't been impressed.
The theme that seems to be as of late is, if the building and atmosphere is really unique and beautiful then it will make the food taste better. Well it doesn't.
There are plenty of other restaurants that have figured out how to serve excellent food and provide a unique and beautiful building and atmosphere. This is not one of them.
The food here is just alright.
The chickens wings are served as the entire drum and wing. Why? It makes no sense to make "eating" more complicated. It doesn't make it taste better, it just makes the person trying to eat the food frustrated.
The pasta is "meh". The table ordered three different pasta dishes and not one single person was impressed.
The cilantro-lime fries....don't get too excited. These are not super crispy fries tossed in a cilantro, oil, salt, parmesan, lime bath like you were hoping for. They are average fries served with a slice of lime for your squeezing pleasure and rather large chunks of cilantro on top.
The crispy fish for two....I was so excited about this dish. Presentation was nice, but sharing this dish was complicated and there wasn't much substance to the meal. I felt like I was just picking, which I could have gotten past had there been "mind blowing flavor" worth working so hard for.
As we were leaving, I looked around and noticed a sea of empty tables and chairs. There were so many tables and chairs that I felt overwhelmed. It would be an incredible accomplishment for any restaurant to be able to fill this many seats. Not sure this concept will pull it off.
