| - When I review restaurants . . . service, atmosphere and food get weighed almost equally. Maybe it was an off night for CPH, and perhaps based on previous reviews, my expectations were too high. I so wanted to give it five stars. I took a friend from out of town there for the last night of Arizona Restaurant Week.
The Pros
Food - (5*) The menu choices were fantastic -- something for everyone. We both ordered the Original Chopped Salad and the Scallops. Both were delicious. (FYI - I had the Kantak Chopped for three nights in a row now, twice at Amaro in Cave Creek. It is my new favorite!) The flavors and textures in this salad are perfect. The pan seared scallops were tender, juicy and sweet. Desserts for me were overkill, but it came with the meal. The "Pig in the Orchard" Bread Pudding was delicious, but not as delectable as the Irish Coffee Pot de Crème which sent me to Cloud 9.
The Cons:
Atmosphere (3*) Even on a Sunday evening, the dining room is really loud. Even though we were sitting next to each other, we were borderline shouting just to be heard. Nevertheless, the design is cool and inviting.
Service (2*) Our server had zip personality, made no suggestions whatsoever, and didn't bring any bread. She brought our entrees to the table when I was clearly still working on my salad. (One of my biggest pet peeves!)
Will I go back? Absolutely. Based on all the other reviews, this just might have been a peculiar instance so I'm willing to give it another shot.
