Will Yelp ever bring us the 1/2 star? I know everyone would use it. I had a 3.5 star experience.
We (Jim W, our daughter Abby and I) joined fellow Yelpers Scott W, Heather and Ryan C and organizer Aileen B for a brunch UYE this morning. So the company was five star.
I would give the atmosphere and service five stars as well. The place has a really open feel and the patio looked very inviting. The service was unobtrusive yet attentive. My water glass never ran empty.
The place they lost me was the food. I ordered steak and eggs. The steak was delicious, albeit petite. The fingerling potatoes were fine, nothing to write home about. But the eggs were not cooked right. If you can't get my scrambled eggs right (I order them scrambled lightly) you're not going to wow me. Especially if you charge me $15 for a diminutive steak and smattering of overdone eggs. I thought all the offerings a tad pricey, which my family attributed to Scottsdale Waterfront real estate prices, but this was the first time I have ever been hungry between brunch and dinner.
Would I go there again? Possibly. I doubt I'd go for brunch. But the raves over dinner make me curious. Maybe they could wow me the second time around.
