| - LOCATION: The convenience of the location if you are going to the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts is unparalleled. You walk out the door, walk about 10 steps, and there it is. They also have outdoor seating, which is nice on a comfortable evening. However, the tables were too high for dining. I felt like I was 7 years old, trying to eat at the grown-ups table. :D
MY FOOD: I had the Pear, Blue Cheese and Pecan Salad with balsamic vinaigrette. The salad was good, not outstanding. The pear was pleasantly thin and sweet, but the salad was about 20% shredded carrots (too much for my liking), light on the blue cheese, and scarce on the pecan pieces. (These were not even 1/4 pecans. They were the bits that fall to the bottom of the bag, scraps.)
OTHER FOOD: My boyfriend ordered loaded tater tots and potato skins for everyone to share. I had a handful of tots to negate the healthiness of my salad. (haha) They were good. The bite of potato skin I had was over-done.
DRINKS: The drink selection was fair, about 12 - 15 beers and 8 mixed drinks. I was the D.D. so I had lemonade, but my boyfriend enjoyed his Mules.
SERVICE: Um, rude. My boyfriend asked for a spoon so we could easily share the tater tots without using licked forks or dropping toppings on the table. The server said with an annoyed glare, "There's silverware right there." My boyfriend politely said, "I was wanting a spoon" (which, incidentally, was not included in anyone's silverware roll). The server continued with his glare that I usually only see come from a teenager's eyes as he flatly repeated, "There's silverware right there." Someone finally said we could use her fork, since she was only having a drink.
He was also rude to the other guest who asked for clarification regarding ordering drinks after the kitchen closes.
The restaurant was almost empty (only 4 other customers); so it wasn't like the server was overwhelmed. He did come back regularly to ensure we had drinks, but he was obviously really unhappy to be there. I can appreciate his frustration. He was a bartender/server with a restaurant of 8 people on a Friday night in Scottsdale. He was hoping for more money. However, that doesn't change the facts of his rude service.
PRICE POINT: Very reasonable. My salad (without meat) was $9.99. Adding chicken would have been an extra $3. I didn't look closely at other items, though.
OTHER: Beware that the kitchen closes at 10:00, and the whole restaurant at 11:00.
BOTTOM LINE: I would probably come here again if we were going to the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts because it's just so convenient. However, I would look for another restaurant within walking distance for a future visit.
