| - Just got in from an evening out, which included drinks & dinner at AZ 88. Went out with two of my boys and after deciding that it was not in the stars to drive out to DTPHX to try out Fez, I yelped some Scottsdale options and settled on AZ 88. After walking in and seating ourselves, we quickly noted a resemblance to Hanny's...a good resemblance. Plenty of (comfy) seating, mood lighting, glass and mirrors, and chill music. We sat ourselves (as noted) by the modern Christmas tree and our server came by shortly with menus.
In terms of service, our server was attentive and showed up when needed and not much more, which we didn't mind since we were in no rush and were enjoying our time there.
We started off with the galletes which, while I am not a fan of olives, I really liked. I feel like flat bread is the new "thing", and theirs is pretty good. I had the New Presbyterian to drink and L had the Bellini, both of which were yum. It took us a while to decide on our entrees, but I got the chicken & bacon club sandwich, L had the ahi tuna sandwich, and O. had the hot pepper chicken sandwich, all of which we we really liked. The fries were BOMB and I wish that more had come with my sammy :( I also liked that all sandwiches come with fruit which was also good. The sandwich was goooood, not extraordinary but above average. It was a little dry for my liking so I asked for a side of ranch which made a world of difference.
To finish it all of the three of us shared the strawberry shortcake and the super-chocolate-mousse-cake-thing. The crowd was really chill, it wasn't very packed but it was a Monday night. I can imagine how beautiful the area is in the daytime and the patio is really nice as well. For the price, it's somewhere I'd definitely come again.
