I *heart* Nellos. Whatever location, the food seems to be consistently great, and if you've read my review of the Old Town location you know that my heart really belongs there at that location.
Things that I dont like about this McClintock and Southern spot:
1. Service last time I was ther BLEW. We sat at the bar because there wasnt anywhere else to sit and we were in a hurry. Big mistake, it took us over an hour to get out of there. The bartender was doing about 4 different jobs, none of which was attending to the people at the bar. And this was just lunchtime.
2. Its not decorated as nicely. Call me crazy, but it matters.
3. In Old Town you can walk outside and enjoy some of the shops, bars and people scenery while this location is in a strip mall. Boring.
All in all, still a great place to eat, just not as entertaining or as impressive as the Scottsdale one.
