I was in town visiting a friend, and he suggested we try Scottsdale Quarter for shopping & restaurants. There are a ton of restaurants in Scottsdale Quarter, and Tanzy seemed to have the most diverse menu and great decor. Everything about this place oozes cool.
PROS:
1. Ambience - the restaurant has beautiful, modern decor and attracts a young, upscale crowd. As you enter, there is large lounge area with sofas which makes it great for large groups to relax together. We actually ate in the lounge area and it was comfortable and relaxing.
2. Food - I tried a mozzarella bruschetta appetizer that is made in front of you which was a nice touch and also tried a pasta dish for my entree. Both dishes tasted good and the presentation looked fantastic.
CONS:
1. Service - the service is so-so. As I mentioned, we chose to sit in the lounge area, and our waitress would check-in on us every 20-30 minutes even though the restaurant was pretty quiet. Our glasses were empty and took us awhile to get our entree order in after getting appetizers.
2. Price - the two of us ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and a couple of drinks each. Total cost about $110 (including tax & tip). A little pricey.
Overall, I would visit this restaurant again once or twice a year for special occasions and group events.
