| - we had a coupon for dinner here so we decided to leave our sanctuary and venture to north scottsdale for this dining experience.
beautiful setting and the menu wasn't too overwhelming. the happy hour looked like a great deal, so maybe we'll head back for that.
we only got shared plates because all the entree dishes were ridiculously overpriced. the fish of the day? cod. and 28 bucks for THAT? cod? thats just crazy....28 bucks for cod. if you want more people to eat organic and local, you gotta cut the cost. why on earth would a middle class family of four eat somewhere that serves organic and fresh but it costs a month salary when they can just go to freaking california pizza kitchen or cheese cake factory for half the price?
anyway, so although we can luckily afford a few organic pleasures every now and then, i'll cook my own wild caught fish for a fraction of the cost. so all our shared plates were good...the tuna, the falafel, the ravioli, and the beet salad. but our server was so "miss". not that it was his fault, i don't know. he said it was the kitchen. in any case, we had to wait over 30 minutes for our first appetizer. they slowly came out on time after that. and then we indulged in the p-butter mousse and apple crisp and both were delectable.
and as a show of gratitude, we were comp'd the dessert due to our long food wait! now that's good business in my book. so we'll probably go back and try the happy hour menu. don't get me wrong, the food is tasty and probably very healthy, just a wee on the pricey side for what you get.
