The view and ambience are a 5. I don't think I have seen a prettier view than their outside patio has; and a plus is there is plenty of seating. Another great thing, if you have kids, they can play out on the lawn after the course is closed.
Reason #1 I am only giving a 3 is because the food was just average. My quinoa salad was very overdressed and the pizza was just run of the mill. The couple we were with also felt that way about their meals...not bad, not great. And one last comment, they don't have a Gluten Free menu, which is odd in this day. Our friend had a difficult time finding something on the menu she could order.
Reason #2 I am only giving a 3 is that they are pretty pricey for what you get. They have no happy hour or specials and the drinks are very expensive...typical North Scottsdale overpricing. As our waitress told us 'we don't have to have a happy hour.'
Reason #3 is regarding the service. It wasn't because our server was inattentive. She was very attentive...but to the point that we felt she was trying to get us to order and get our of there. We really wanted to enjoy the sunset and then have a leisurely dinner but felt rushed the whole time. And for what we were spending, it would have probably been beneficial not to rush us. If she would have backed off, I probably would have given her a 4.5. I would assume its management that insists tables are turned quickly and the servers are just under pressure from them.
Go for the view but be prepared to pay a high price for it and don't have too high of expectations for the food.
