| - Edited to add: someone representing this restaurant sent me a message after my review was posted that was very passive aggressively "apologizing" for the other patrons in the restaurant. Did you think you were going to shame me into changing my review? None of that changes the fact that the food is mediocre at best, ridiculously overpriced, it's incredibly loud to the point that you can't carry on any conversation, and ultimately completely unimpressive. The people who frequent a restaurant can say a lot about it - given that those who choose to visit this one were overwhelmingly obnoxious, I think that says something about what this restaurant is all about. I've been to many classy establishments in Scottsdale, and this is just not one of them.
Came here for my two year anniversary at the suggestion of some of the doctor's I worked with. I figured if they, Scottsdale docs, liked it then it must be good. Everything about this place comes off as trying too hard. The other patrons were one step away from Ed Hardy t-shirts and rhinestone jeans, and a table of spoiled brat Scottsdale high schoolers being obnoxious and howling over stupid shit definitely put a damper on the mood. However, as the restaurant can't help who eats there, I didn't hold it against them. The music was deafeningly loud, and as it was our anniversary I would have liked to enjoy some conversations, but that was not happening. The food was sub-par, and considering that it was ridiculously expensive, it was not worth it at all. Very underwhelming all in all, next time I'll stick to one of the classics and not waste my money shooting for trendy and disappointing.
