| - This may be the best kept secret in North Scottsdale. It's petite location and dining area is easy to miss. Located within a outdoor mall, it's easy to drive this place and never visit. I finally gave it a try, after meeting one of it's chefs at a Baseball game. Boy, I'm glad that I did.
The food was amazing, and for not having a children's menu, the waitstaff was uber attentive to my children's wants. Everything we ordered was fantastic. One of my kids ordered the Mussels. I tried one. The mussels were divine, and the broth flavorful. The grilled shrimp were of hearty size, and the side of mac and cheese was awesome. My other child ordered the pork-chop, and I'm not a pork guy, but my wife said is was the best she ever tasted.
Many dishes you'll find elsewhere, but the play with unusual ingredients really works. I ordered a wedge salad to start, and thought that the added toppings would take away from the overall wedge experience. But I was wrong. The toppings really worked and it was the best wedge salad that I've ever had. The filet topped with foie gras was simply to die for. My wife said that her chicken dish was great.
Frankie, our server, was simply the best, and I would recommend that you ask for him. He knew the menu well, and knew what our children would enjoy. Thanks, Frankie, if you read this.
The overall experience was a 10 out of 10. We will be back.
A special thanks to Chef Martin. Had I not run into him at that baseball game, I wouldn't have known about this little gem of a restaurant. Highly recommend.
