| - Great for groups, not great for date night.
We were excited to check out this new restaurant in our hood, got a babysitter and did a date night here. I'll start with the positives and work down from there...
ATMOSPHERE: the view is great. Classy and contemporary decor. Mostly patio, which was chilly despite heaters (and asking for them to be turned on) on a January evening. Tables are mostly huge tables therefore not very intimate. We sat at a hightop that was cold and hard and could've fit 12.
FOOD: was good, but not like $22 a pizza good. We got the $19 tres peps and it was basically a pepperoni pizza with a cold jar of pepperonichinis and jalapeƱos on top. Like, the toppings were not baked in. Oh also served on a plastic plate. In my opinion Phoenix is a pizza Mecca, and you can just find better pizza elsewhere for cheaper. I wouldn't say it was bad, just unimpressive, especially given the price or that it's in an obscure location.
SERVICE: now, this place is new so I'll give em grace for still working out the kinks. Our waiter was awkward and clearly upselling everything and talked to us for far too long about cars (we aren't car people). They have daily specials which took way too long to explain. This would've gone over better on a paper menu. The manager came to check on us once and got way too close for comfort and touched me while I was eating which wAs weird (I know I'm not a dog but who likes that??).
Overall, I'm not dying to return given its expensive, quirky service, and uncomfortable seating. If my boss insisted on going her I would play along, at least the food isn't terrible.
