| - 2.5 stars... Long story short... meh. This is too much Scottsdale in Central Phoenix.
Slow early evening on a Saturday... only 2 other couples at the bar, nobody at the sushi bar, and 3 parties in the dining area. While the staff at the bar was friendly, they were more social with their fellow staff than with the customers. While its fine to talk with co workers, this should not come at the price of inattentive service... especially when its slow! They failed to serve our fist course (edamame), brought out the third course (desert of chocolate mouse) within 5 minutes of bringing out the entree', and when a to go box was requested for items, it was merely dropped in our dining space rather than graciously boxing the food for us. I'm not usually one to require a server to do this as I was a server and bartender for years and can easily accomplish the task, but for the prices and pretentiousness this place exudes, the service was definitely not above the bar. Again... they didn't fail (well, except with the edamame) and the items were tasty, but there is a disconnect in the service that again feels more superficial than what locals usually experience in Central Phoenix...
