| - I didn't check Yelp before deciding to go here, and I'm glad. I may not have given it a chance, and missed out on some delicious dining. There may have been some mistakes made but according to my experience, they have been worked out.
My girlfriend learned that she was getting her new job and we had to celebrate. We were going to Chelsea's Kitchen (her favorite) but the thought of the wait or sitting on the patio was a turn off. Driving east on Camelback, I recalled that the Grind opened their new restaurant (finally) called Chick Rotisserie. Mentioning it to her, she was all in. After all, we absolutely love the food and service at the Grind.
The restaurant was pretty full but we were seated immediately. The staff was very courteous, and prompt.
Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and wines. She helped us decide on the creamed corn and pasta salad to go along with the half Black Truffle Chicken. I wouldn't have chosen those sides had she not recommended them, but oh man, am I glad she did. I got really excited about cream corn! Really??? I've despised it most of my adult life, but here I was really savoring the dish. It was a huge side, in fact, the pasta was huge too, and just as delicious.
Now the chicken... we were presented with a half chicken, on the bone. I carved it for my girlfriend and I and as I did, I could tell that this was a very tender, perfectly cooked bird. Don't you hate it when the breast is ruined by overcooking and bring dried out??? Not to worry, the breast was tender and juicy, as was the dark meat. I will admit I am not the biggest fan of truffles, but it is balanced so well, that I found myself really enjoying the flavor. Thanks Chicks! By the way, these are large birds. We both enjoyed our fill and had plenty of that half chicken to take home.
Finally, dessert. I don't normally order dessert, but I know the Grind has those fantastic mini-donuts with the salted butterscotch dip that are addictive as crack, so I saved room. Oh man, Chef Bevin made us a "special" version of their Homemade Chick Cinnamon Bun that he topped with a Grand Marnier icing. It was so decadent! We also got the Peach Cobbler petite pie - this time he topped it off with a peach liquor. I have nut allergies, but I had to try it. It was so rich and comforting. I took my Benadryl and was fine, but it was worth that risk!
We took home a to-go box that made for a great lunch the next day. My girlfriend and I had such a fantastic time, we can't wait to go back. This will also go into the lunchtime rotation at work.
