| - ***The Best Happy Hour I've Found in Scottsdale in the 2 Year's I've Been Here***
My boyfriend and I went to NoRTH last night for Happy Hour. The food was great, the service was excellent and the value was outstanding. It's right across from Barnes and Noble by the fountain. If it's not too hot, it's lovely to sit and watch the children playing in the fountain.
We had the Zucca Chips, Spaghetti and Meatballs (appetizer) and the Chef's Board. There is a Happy Hour special where you can get a pizza or a salad or the Chef's Board and a full bottle of wine for $20.00. In Scottsdale especially, that's a great deal! The only other place that I know that has as good a deal is Il Postino in Phoenix that has a Bruscetta Board and bottle of wine for $20.00 but that is only on Monday and Tuesday after 8PM.
We also had two desserts. I had the Italian salted caramel/espresso custard. I can't remember the official name of it. It was delicious but incredibly rich! My advice is to share a dessert. My boyfriend had an apple crisp dessert. It was okay. I'm not a big fan of apple pie or apple type desserts.
The Chef's Board had a beautiful presentation. There were cheese, nuts, olives, salami, pepperoni, peppers and a dollop of a raisin compote on it. We asked the waiter what was in the compote and he not only described what was in it, but how it was prepared. Very, very impressive! I am a serious foodie and I genuinely appreciate that level of understanding of food.
The total bill was $43.00 and some change for a bottle of wine, Chef's Board, Zucca Chips, Spaghetti and Meatballs (3) and 2 desserts.
I am really looking forward to going back!
