The outdoor dining area is AWESOME-nicely lit and VERY cozy feeling. And though there were people dining outside, it was a little too warm in my opinion. Like I said, this place has a Scottsdale feel complete with all the beauitful people. Definitely more upscale clientele, but it's very casual. I was able to sneak away just as well-dressed cougar was starting to stalk me.
I had a burger which was really good. The menu is a little limited, but there is a good selection of appetizers, salads sandwiches as well as some steak, chicken and pasta entrees. Everything is reasonably priced as are the drinks. This place is not cheap, but the quality of the food and drinks make for good value in my opinion. The prices definitely do not reflect the atmosphere, as you'd certainly expect more expensive drinks and food when you first walk in and see the place.
All that being said, the parking situation SUCKS and it's in a slightly dodgy area (there's a cheap Mexican drive-thru on one side of it, and residences on the other side. Across the street (where you have to park if you don't want to do valet) is a drive thru liquor store and a check-chasing place. You have to park north of the check-cashing place if you don't want to be towed.
But DON'T let any of this deter you from checking this place out. It's one of my favorite places in Phoenix and I'm so glad I checked it out. This is one of those places to bring out of town friends and family-it will impress the hell out of them (once they get past the neighborhood)
