| - I'm not sure if I caught this place on and off night or the people that are rating it so high have a lower standard for service and food quality than I have.
The décor, as a lot of folks have described, is incredibly outdated. I'm not one to really comment on décor, but this was really something out of "That 70's Show". The TV's were great(that's where they get the two stars from).
Service? What service? I sat down at a table in the bar area and waited for almost 10 minutes for the server to ask if I needed anything. There were two other tables with guests at the time, so I couldn't understand why it took so long.
After I ordered my glass of wine, I reviewed the menu. Decided to start simple with the chips and salsa. I was long finished with my glass of wine and looked around to locate her. She was at her terminal reading and sending text messages on her phone. I was able to catch her attention and waved her over and placed my order.
About 10-15 minutes later, chips and salsa came out. Half of the chips were stuck together and under done. The salsa was made up of mostly seeds. Literally, seeds.
For dinner, I ordered a 1/2 slab of the baby back ribs. HORRIBLE!! Mostly fat. Almost no meat. They do get some props for the fries, though.
When it came time for the check, once again, server had disappeared. Two or three more tables came in, so my urgency to get settled up ramped up. Since I couldn't get any attention when there were only two other tables besides me, I didn't want to hang around when there were four or five. I turned around, once again, to see the server texting on her cell phone.
I don't get to Scottsdale often, but if I do come back, I won't be returning to this place. Lot's better in the area.
