Had an office lunch here last week and boy was I impressed.
The first thing I always look at - even when I am not drinking - is the cocktail list. If a place cares about their cocktails, then they must care about their food. This is, I think, the first place in Scottsdale I have seen a cocktail (actually several) listing Absinthe on its list. Boom - I am impressed. Plus all these beauties are actually included in the happy hour deal - not like some places where you get the crappy Sky vodka or Absolute cosmo for 5 bucks but the better drinks are still 12. Anyway - love them for that.
The place is super cool, I love NYC and the huge art on the wall showing central park definitely got me in the mood. The bathroom even smelled like the tropics - I felt wierd coming back t the table and saying to my work mate - "oh my god, you have to go to the bathroom - it smells so good in there!" ha ha!!
I had the blackened salmon salad - forget the menu name. A touch over cooked, more on the side of full medium as opposed to medium rare, but the salad dressing (passion fruit) was lovely. The beet chips are amazing for sure.
I definitely want to go back for happy hour and try that black truffle hummus and a fun cocktail! So far my favorite place tof all the new joints in the Quarter.
