| - We've been to several of the Fox restaurants and have enjoyed them. My wife and I decided to try The Greene House even though it's a 45 minute drive from Ahwatukee.
My wife had the sea scallops. They were nicely seasoned, tender, and cooked just right. Even with the included sides, the portion seemed small and she was soon sharing my dish, the Roasted Chicken Enchiladas.
The enchiladas were excellent. I'd probably go back to The Greene House just to order them again, despite there being several other entrees I'd like to try. The portion was generous and the presentation was nice in an oval cast iron pan.
For dessert, we shared the Spike's Chocolate Bars of Sin. If you like chocolate, order this! You won't be disappointed. Definitely enough there to share.
Service was excellent, our waiter seemed knowledgable, friendly and was around just the right amount of time... not hovering too much.
Why only four stars? Well, two reasons. For our tastes, the restaurant has too many tables squeezed into the space and it's an extremely noisy environment when crowded. We were seated at a row of two and four place tables that made us feel like we were dining with the strangers next door (we know all about their son's experience with college admissions now). When the waiters were speaking to the neighboring diners, they would stand between the tables resulting in the waiter's back-side staring us in the face like an uninvited guest at our table. That and the overly noisy environment really took away from what should have been a five star experience. These things probably aren't deal breakers for some people, but my wife said that even though she'd like to try more of the menu, she didn't think she'd be willing to make the trip again just because of the high noise levels.
