I really enjoyed this event. It has been years since I've been up on Troy Hill and it's nice to see some new places like Scratch opening and providing some great dining and drinking options. Having driven up and down Rialto street in the past, I opted instead to take an alternate route. If you ever want to come up here in the winter, you'd be well advised to do the same!!
Kudos to Rachel and the Yelp team for introducing us to Scratch. Their story is one more people need to hear. I was surprised to note that only ONE of the Elite attendees had ever been to Scratch before. So this was a fabulous chance for us to start some word of mouth promoting. Their commitment to local sourcing of food and beverage, their support for deserving local charities, the innovative food and cocktails, as well as weekly events like the drunken spelling bee all speak to what owner Don and his team are bringing to this city.
I loved that the Scratch team took time to tell us what they're all about. That is one of the things I love when we have these type of events. It was nice to hear about and to see the bar stocked with local spirits. And the cocktails? Yep, they were tasty!! As others have stated, the four passed samples were delightful. I particularly enjoyed the pulled pork one. And the service? Couldn't have been more professional or friendly!!
Thanks Scratch for hosting us and allowing us to get a good look. And thank you Rachel for doing it yet again!! Awesome!!
