| - I've been to Kazimierz multiple times, but each time grow a little more disappointed and wish I could honestly give it a higher rating.
The good: The atmosphere is fantastic. It's unlike anything else in Scottsdale and the "wine cave" vibe always impresses people that have never been. I'm also sold on any place that features wine and cheese platters.
The bad: Service can be terrible. When I was last there, it was a not very busy week night. As a group of 6, we were easily seated, but from then on out it was impossible to track down our waitress. If she had been around a bit more, we might have ordered more. The timing of any food coming out was completely erratic. However, the most offensive part was the wine by the bottle list. They have a binder with 50-100 pages of wines by the bottle. The first bottle I asked about, the waitress checked and said they didn't have. I then asked about 6 or 7 other wines, and each when she said "No, we don't have that" and didn't even check. She was either lazy or that book is pointless to look through. She had suggested 3 different bottles (none of which fit what I was looking for), then said if I got something they served by the glass, they would surely have that. To me, it defeats the entire point, since they don't have that many by the glass. We each just ended up getting glasses of wine and gave up on trying to get a bottle.
In summary, it has a great atmosphere, but don't expect service, and don't take the wine book too seriously. It's not likely they will actually have the bottle you're interested in.
