| - I had always been curious about Mabel's on Main. A lot of different reviews, although they were generally positive. So the last time I was in the immediate area, I decided to stop in, and of course, have my usual beer. It was early evening, so it wasn't crowded, and we got right in.
The inside is very nice - a very comfortable feeling, dim lights, and dark wood. There were some tables with stuffed chairs, and booths along the wall, with the bar in the middle of the space. There didn't seem to be anyone to seat us, so we just sat at one of the tables. Several minutes later, the hostess appeared and informed us that the table was reserved - but it wasn't for several hours, and since we were only going to have a drink, that there was no problem.
The menu was not extensive, but offered a number of different choices. We decided to have a drink, and just relax for a while. Midway through our drinks, the hostess again appeared, and apparently the party that had reserved the table came early, and we were asked to move to a booth. This wasn't a problem, and we agreed. The hostess was very nice and professional, and comped us our first round.
As Mabel's started filling up, I could tell it was more of a lounge than a restaurant. The customers were very diverse, of all ages, and although there was the usual Scottsdale players, it was a very laid back atmosphere. Great for people watching.
All in all, it was a very enjoyable evening. The hostess and our server were exceptional - very friendly and they alone would keep me coming back. Great atmosphere, great food, and great service.
