| - I would have given this restaurant 0 stars but the ratings did not go that low. I live in Cave Creek and have come here for YEARS and YEARS on a regular basis. Their steaks were delicious and ambiance warm, western upscale, yet inviting. The recent changes to this restaurant now include very uncomfortable seating, cheap plastic menus and a rather disgusting menu..can you spell 'Elk-balls'! ICK!!! I can only assume the owner has had a mental breakdown or there is a new owner as the changes made over the last few months have sadly ruined this wonderful steak house. Besides a new seating area that looked a step above Arby's, the menu items were unrecognizable. The owners were so busy trying to be different, and nouveau that they have gone to ridiculous lengths to serve food prepared badly with idiotic food combinations and unrecognizable concoctions. The food servers seemed embarrassed by the changes, other patrons seem unhappy, the food terrible and service so, so. I personally saw a group of dinners seated, then walk out in disgust. We deliberated doing the same however 'stuck it out' to see if it was all that bad..IT WAS!! Avoid this excuse of a restaurant at all costs!! Will not be back unless they can prove they appreciate their customer, seat them to be comfortable..not to hustle people in and out efficiently, and bring back their former cooks, menu and ambiance. Note to management..nouveau in Cave Creek DOES NOT WORK!! Look at the HUGE turnover in the restaurants that go nouveau. Regulars like well prepared recognizable food they can depend on. Snowbirds (a huge part of Cave Creek's patrons) are no-nonsense folks that want food they can depend on, well prepared and recognizable, visitors will to to Scottsdale for nouveau if they want it..not drive to the end of the earth on Cave Creek for the 'unexpected'. New owners need to seriously reevaluate lest you will be resorting to coupons, sign twirlers at the driveway entrance and an empty restaurant! Get smart or get ready to seek employment in another field!
