This is seriously good food in an atmosphere that is pretty hard to take seriously. Between all the Scottsdalians dressed in their finest D&G and Tommy Bahama and a decor that seems more Disney's version of a French bistro, I didn't have high hopes when entering the place. The wait staff further cemented the impression when two different waiters tried to wait on our table leaving us completely confused. They got it sorted out and the service improved from there. However, once the food came, I cast all doubts aside. The Man started with the foie gras first course while I had the ahi on rye. Both were outstanding. For our seconds I had the duck and he had the steak. The steak was nicely cooked, maybe a little too salty. The duck was a very large portion with intriguing complex flavors. Very good. We also had a great and reasonably priced Cotes du Rhone. I came in skeptical but I left impressed.
