| - Okay, I'm going to try and redeem this place.
I'll start by saying the reason people come here, or bring out of town visitors (should be on your list for that) is Nicole. I've been to many a piano bar and I don't think I've ever seen anything like her. You try and text message your friend while playing Clocks by Coldplay!
They serve sandwiches and salads. The most expensive thing on the menu is $13. They're not serving foi gras or a 5 course tasting menu. If you're looking for that, head to Scottsdale.
The purpose of ordering the food here is to be able to soak up the half-priced bottle of wine you'll inevitably be ordering. Or, maybe the monster-sized martinis. Much like the size of the drinks, the food portions are also quite big. I very rarely leave without a box.
If you have room, the desserts are YUMMY. The Tuxedo, Chocolate Lava Cake, and the "Tira Tini" are all great. I suspect the others are too.
So, ignore the naysayers and check it out after 7pm Wed-Sun so you can hear the pianist. If you can get a table up close, go for it. (no it's not too loud). You can't leave before Nicole plays her version of Flight of the Bumble Bee, so drink slowly or get your $10 out to request it. Phenomenal.
