  • I came to Scottsdale as part of a 15-gent bachelor party, and CPH was our big night/sendoff dinner for the bachelor. As a result, we did a $50-per-person fixed price menu that featured a choice of one of two salads, one of four entrees, and a chef's selection on dessert. As my friends will tell you, I eat out 6-8 times per week all over America and at nicer restaurants a couple of times a month...I've never seen one of these menus get you less food than I got last night. (This had that "Restaurant Week for dinner in DC" feel to it; DC folks know what I'm talking about!) Part of that was tied to dessert. I'm allergic to nuts. Bottom line, the chef's selection featured three desserts that all featured some form of nuts. (I don't think a nut allergy is particularly rare these days...do you?) I asked our server--who was otherwise an excellent host for our large, somewhat unruly group--if I could just get something plain, a chocolate cake, or a cheesecake, or sorbet...anything. The answer was a flat no. That affected the rest of my thoughts on the meal, really. I'm normally a cocktail guy but I opted for a glass of the pinot grigio, which was fine...but from reading some of these Yelp reviews, it looks like I should have gotten a cocktail. The salad (field greens) was fine, a little overdressed but the greens were tasty. The entree was, frankly, an injustice...for a fixed price menu that also featured a 7-to-8 oz. steak and the biggest piece of chicken I've seen not on top of a waffle in Chicago, the scallops were puny. I mean, beyond puny. THREE SCALLOPS? I literally took a small bite a minute, just to stretch out the amount of food on the plate. The greens served with it were chewy, almost tough to cut with a normal knife. So, to summarize, $50 got me three scallops, about one measuring cup worth of salad greens, and no dessert. I can't in good conscience recommend coming back, but again, I thought the service was great and the space was well lit and featured good-looking people (I am finding this is standard in Scottsdale, but still). I did go out to eat later that evening, because I was so freakin' starved. At least our bachelor left happy!
