| - This is one of my favorite places to eat. It's a joint-- an unpretentious, understated, intimate, and cozy bar/restaurant with warm wooden walls that remind me of somewhere in England or Europe--great vibe here,
It's the type of place a woman can go to alone, sit at the bar, chat with the waitresses and other customers, have a good home cooked-type of meal, and a drink without feeling awkward. Clientele includes couples, groups of men, groups of women, everyone, both young and old. It can get very busy here on Thursday nights when it has a live,free band.
The food is very good and reasonable, perfect for this foodie bargain hunter. My favorite offering is the short rib dumplings with mushrooms, in a veal cream sauce. It's delicious and probably one of the best 'bar food' entrees in Scottsdale. The sandwiches are also very good, including the "Starters" pastrami sliders, two generous sliders with mustard for $5. I generally get these with a cup of soup or a salad.
Speaking of soups, they are all delicious and are served with bread and butter, if you ask. The other day I had broccoli soup, but my favorite is the spinach soup. There are also burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, sausage sandwiches, pizza, appetizers--quite a lot for a small place, but they are able to pull this off because it shares a kitchen with Sal's, a formal Italian restaurant.
Specials are available daily too. Patronize this place for its simple, well executed food, or stop by for a quick drink and chat. Whatever the case, you won't be disappointed and you'll feel like you've found your new home away from home..
