This is definitely the See-and-Be-Seen place in that Scottsdale corridor! I usually opt for sitting outside as I'm easily entertained with what's going on out there. Lots of eye candy for both sexes here!
One thing you will notice right away is their huge drink list on the right hand side of the menu. There are some really cool things to drink at CD and my personal favorite is the Ginger Margarita (El Matador) - Yum!!! They also have an awesome wine and beer selection there on the back of the menu too. I'm always so torn with "Do I have a great glass of wine or one of these yummy cocktails???" Well the cocktail always wins out here!
For appetizer, you MUST get the Pretzel Bread with the cheese fondue. They bring out fresh, warm pretzel bread nuggets that you dip in a yummy cheese fondue sauce. It is to die for and I get cravings for this every once in a while. Tough to schlep over there for a craving when you live up by Desert Ridge! I've also had the Mussels appie as well as the homemade potato chips and both were really very delish.
Hubby and I have also done the Charcuterie and Cheese on the left in past visits and all were really wonderful with one of their nice glasses of red wines.
For entree's, there is really nothing that can go wrong here. It just depends what you're in the mood for. The fried chicken is BOMB, the Pork Belly Cubano is delicious and the French Dip is one of my go to favorites.
This isn't a cheap place - i had the pretzel bread, the mussels and the margarita and it cost me $30 before tip. I was my own expensive date!
