| - If you enjoy eating/drinking in a daycare center filled with screaming children running wild and unattended while their parents tip back some cold drinks, this is the place for you! The outdoor area, while beautiful, is unusable as it is so overrun with wailing, screaming toddlers that it becomes a playpen to corral the children whose parents apparently would prefer to drink themselves into oblivion rather than teach their children how to behave in public. A few months ago, I'm lucky to have avoided losing an eye as we were sitting in the adirondack chairs adjacent the bocce ball area. While we, as two adults, were enjoying a glass of wine, an unruly child who had been climbing up the rocks repeatedly which were marked as "do not climb on" picked up a handful of landscaping rocks and threw them at my face, hitting me and the back of my chair. Fortunately, I was turned slightly sideways speaking to my husband so I was only hit in the cheek, and not the eye. The child's parents finally appeared after I jumped up in shock and realized that my husband had left to seek a manager. Otherwise, I would doubt that they would have looked up from their meal! The manager offered to comp us which we politely declined and then said that they really can't do anything about it as people had ripped them on Yelp as not being family friendly so they basically have no choice but to let everyone's kids run wild.
The bottom line is that this is an incredibly unpleasant place for anyone who wants a typical bar/restaurant environment and also should be a hotspot on the Scottsdale Police Dept's radar to bust all of the SUV's leaving with intoxicated parents for child endangerment.
