I had to try it. I had to see what became of the space that was once the finest restaurant in Phoenix/Scottsdale. The design of J & G made me think "Really?". As Mary Elaines the space was elegant, regal, sophisticated, refined. As J & G the space feels like a sleek flashy Vegas restaurant. I am still recovering from that shock. I was there to give it a try. So here you go.
Tasting Menu
Tuna Tartar (Delicious)
Parmesan Risotto (needed salt, but good)
Sea Bass (Excellent, so moist)
Beef (Good, but excellent tasting steak sauce was ice cold)
Chocolate Cake (Wow!!!)
Cocktail/ Wine
Sidecar (awesome)
Some sort of big red wine.
Our waiter was good and explained the menu very well. There were some errors is service so I had to keep reminding myself this is not Mary Elaines. Its a steakhouse.
