We were frequent (weekly) patrons of the previous Italian restaurant tenant, and were VERY excited to try this new place out. We are NOT bourbon drinkers so we were slightly confused by the name and think perhaps a different name might draw more customers?
Since we typically go out to dinner 5 nights a week, we are always on the lookout for a new culinary experience. I ordered the steak, my partner ordered the salmon. Perhaps we are spoiled, but for our money the BEST steak in Arizona is at Durant's. Although we hate the long drive into Phoenix, when you eat at Durant's you know you are going to have the juiciest steak that is worth the drive and also worth the price.
In a word, we were "underwhelmed" by our meal. I'm not sure how this strip mall restaurant is going to survive as there are many fine choices for fine dining in North Scottsdale. I will say that we were very disappointed that they don't offer a bread basket as we are bread lovers and got use to the excellent quality bread that was offered by the previous tenant.
Delicious homemade, crusty bread sets the tone for the meal. Perhaps the chef/owner will take note. I'm awarding 3 stars for a new establishment with a lovely interior. You don't feel like you're in a strip mall, that's for sure!
