This place was so hard to find!!!! The AAA travel book was WRONG in giving directions. Luckily the host who answered the phone was very helpful in directing us to the location of the restaurant. Just remember that the cross street is 3rd Avenue and Scottsdale.
The food is A++++. First of all, the bread is delicious! I was so full just eating the 3 different versions of bread: ciabatta, cheesy jalepeno (my favorite), and olive. I had at least two slices of each bread. The white hummus and eggplant salsa went well with the bread. Our waiter was so nice to even give us more bread.
Appetizer- Rabbit and Fig Baklava with balsamic reduction and deep fried parsnips ($10). OMG!! This is the appetizer from heaven!! The sweetness from the figs and the balsamic reduction was oh soo good. The parsnips was a good alternative to potato chips. I love the puff pastry that was the layers of the baklava. This entree by itself is worth 5 Yelp stars.
Entrees-
1) Stuffed Poblano chili with butternut squash, provolone cheese, and spinach with a side of corn risotto and tequila creme sauce ($17). Oh goodness. This dish was so delicious. I love the corn risotto and the tequila cream sauce tasted like black beans to me. This dish was comforting food.
2) Moroccan chicken breast with pearl cous cous and green beans ($20). The chicken was overcooked :( I liked the green sauce and chipotle sauce that came with the dish. I was surprised with the amount of chicken that was given!!! The pearl cous cous was pretty tasty.
Service- EXCELLENT! Our waiter didn't rush us to finish our food, and answered any of our questions regarding the menu. He was so nice!!! A++ service.
Music- Jazz music was in the bar even on a Sunday night.
Bathroom- Very clean, and had a stainless steal electric garbage can where you press a button to open the lid. The lid must have been broken as the lid was upwards. Anyway, men and women had separate bathrooms.
We were too full from the entree to have dessert. I would have tried the prickly pear tirimisu.
I would love to come back here again!!!
