| - Well I have to say, with all the other options in Scottsdale, I wish I could turn back time and choose another. Let me start by saying that I have waited over a full week to post this review. Actually, I was not going to post at all, as my friend that went with me posted a perfect review of our "experience" here. But here goes:
My friend came to town on a Friday night for a girls weekend and we stayed at nearby Firesky. On a bike trip to breakfast the next morning, we were riding through town when she saw Posh and the "improvisational cuisine" got her to googling it as it sounded like a fun dining experience. (at no time was price a part of the decision to dine there or not.) We booked one of the later reservations on open table(as they had them available) and also arrived to the restaurant a full 15 minutes early. We are both professional women with stressful and decision making jobs so any time we have the opportunity to unwind and have fun we cease the moment. This night was no exceptions. And so when our "menu card" asked us what our general dislikes were, we didn't see the harm in poking fun and answering, "Donald Trump's hair and Chef Boy R Dee from a can," while also giving them the serious answers they needed. Mind you, I also added that I am an omnivore and like anything and we both upgraded and paid extra to have "Wagyu" beef.
This is where my issues come to play. It is in my personal belief that the waitstaff and also the chef were very much displeased by us and may have taken it personally, because we were barely spoken too for the rest of the meal. We had ordered 6 courses. NOT ONE TIME were we ever asked if we liked anything at all. They would come and take plates and replace with the next course. I would think if you serve someone Kangaroo and you know they highly anticipated having it you would ask how they liked it. They seemed bothered by us wanting to know what spices were in a specific dish. And at the end never asked us would that be all? The chef said goodbye warmly, with a smile to every other table before us. We were the last to leave. Not by our choice. They serve when the food is ready. So we were on their time. At the end of the meal the only thing said to us was the waiter coming up and sarcastically asking if we didn't find any of Donald Trumps hair in our food or no spiders. We left utterly unhappy; during a time that we should have been enjoying our time together at a restaurant we hand chose to dine at.
Soon after my friend ended up in the toilet for most of the night. With gastric absurdities that I won't try to make you visualize...cause let's face it, we're all human. And we've all had our intestines disagree with us at one time or another in our lives. We didn't want to assume that it was a coincidence but there was really no other place for our thoughts to go as the restaurant staff just seemed to be so upset with us as we dined on their Grouper, Soft shelled crab, Kangaroo and Beef Wagyu. (by the way, the food was very good) I want to keep this factual. Also, since I'm trying to be very serious and fair, they have a fantastic music soundtrack. And if you seat dance, it actually makes one of the female staff smile!
It was in my finding's tonight that made me upset enough, a week later to write this review.
Our bill came to $241.60 for the both of us. (again, not the issue) The issue is that we split the bill in half and now a week later I found 2 charges on my Discover card. One the night we were there and one the next night. for $120.80 each. So I reached out to my friend who said, after checking, that she also had 2 charges. But one of her charges is being reversed. So in total, at this time, they got $362.80 from us. I have called Discover to dispute the second charge. I would like to think that this is a processing error but my heart says otherwise. And if it was, and error of this sort shouldn't be made at an upscale restaurant. I feel like I'm having a bad night all over again a week later, because of a bike ride past a restaurant with a catchy name.
All in all....I will never return. And if you go. Here are my suggestions:
1. Do!--Write with extreme seriousness your likes and general dislikes pertaining to food only
2. Don't!--Smile, just nod and wave the plates away
3. Do!--Take the concept extremely seriously
4. Don't!--Ask the waiter why he brought you Kobe steak when you upgraded for Wagyu
5. Do!--Keep your receipt and check your charge
and lastly, try the Kangaroo! You'll be glad you did.
