| - In town for work and went to Yelp to find something different. Wasn't in the mood for Mexican or Asian fusion on this trip. You can find those on every corner in Phoenix. No offense.
Was blown away by this place. Reading the Yelp reviews, I get it, wasn't going to be my standard $20 applebees dinner. That being said, we got what we paid for then some.
We did the Chefs tasting and it was unbelievable. The bartender and host were super attentive and courteous. We had the chefs in plain sight since it's a smaller space and they were engaging and having a good time. Always good when you can tell they're enjoying their craft.
On the plate, from start to finish, we tried practically everything on the menu. Dinner for two with each of us doing a chefs tasting, they made it so they brought out two different courses each time. I will warn you, it's a lot of food. Not sure what people are complaining about regarding portions. If you want that kind of meal, go to Cheesecake Factory. I love to eat and it was more than plenty of food for us both.
My favs: carpaccio, the duck, and the raspberry desert. If you're going to order one thing, order the carpaccio. You'll see them and hear them pounding it out before they bring it to your table.
Amazing dinner experience. Not your everyday dinner spot but very glad I found this gem and hope to come back on my next trip out.
