They also have a large outdoor area with an outdoor bar. The concept is interesting in that they house 7 or 8 different businesses in the one building. 3 or 4 food service businesses, a bar, a floral shop, a tea/coffee shop, bakery, and at some point even a small grocery maybe. Since it was their grand opening, some glitches can be expected, and there were a few. The wait time at the inside bar was ridiculous, and it really wasn't that busy. It took 20 minutes to get noticed just to order a beer. The bar tenders seemed inexperienced and were taking inordinately long to mix some of the fancy drinks on the menu. The tap selection is small, about 8, but they did have some good craft beer with the majority of them AZ breweries. Kudos to that! Pet peeve however. If you are going to offer craft beer, serve it in the proper glasswear and not ice cold! My Sculpin IPA came in a large frosted mug more appropriate for root beer at an A&W. If I am going to pay $6 for a craft beer, I want to taste it and drink it from an appropriate glass. The burger we had called the Desoto burger, was excellent as were the side order of fries. However, as the first reviewer mentioned, a bit spendy at $16. $22 for a beer and a burger. Which brings me to my final comment. This is set up like a food court in that there are no waiter people. It seemed rather chaotic at this juncture and I personally would rather not wait in lines to get served and then hunt down a table food in hand. On the first day you could not order a burger, where you got your drink at the bar. I think the bar and burger joint are run by the same owner and this will change in the future. If you want food from other vendors however, you will still probably have to make a couple of trips.
