| - My husband and I wanted to go out on a date and decided to try out 5th Avenue and Wine in Scottsdale. We had the Groupon for brunch on the weekend and arrived around 1pm on a Saturday.
The place actually had a nice decor and atmosphere. The bar is upfront with a nice lounging area and a good size patio. The bartender was very friendly and immediately greeted us at the door. The bartender brought us menus to our table and explained a few things about the place...very good service so far. We sat in front of the bar, at a table, and looked over both the regular menu and the separate brunch menu. The prices on the regular menu was pretty high, but average for the area. The brunch prices were not too bad and the all the items sounded interesting. The support staff was attentive and brought us water. Our waiter, Derek, was cordial.
Of course we had to try the Cobb salad, with fried eggs (2), as this was the picture on Groupon that grabbed our attention. We asked our waiter, Derek, for his recommendation for another dish to try. He said he would recommend either the Chilaquiles or the Waffles. Well, waffles are waffles, so we decided to try the Chilaquiles. We asked Derek to describe that dish a little better and he said he would have to ask the chef. Derek came back from the kitchen and said the dish was like "soggy nachos" with a fried egg...ok, that description should have made this choice an automatic disqualifier. He reassured us by saying "don't think of it as a nacho though...it's really really good." Ok, let's try it, since Derek seemed pretty excited about the dish.
We received our dishes promptly and the Cobb salad appeared to be similar to their picture on Groupon. The Cobb salad tasted OK, but nothing special. I think it was missing something like a good dressing. On the bright side, the portion is large enough for 2 people. The Chilaquiles looked like a sad and confused nacho dish that a culinary drop out would have experimented with. This dish was simply a plate of tortilla chips dressed up with a single fried egg. It was drowned with salsa verde sauce and tasted like wet card board...ok, never actually ate cardboard, but I imagine that's how wet cardboard would taste like.
The Cobb salad is $14 and the Chilaquiles was $13. Neither one was worth the price and the Chilaquiles should not even be on the menu. The atmosphere is the only thing that was nice about our visit.
I would not buy this Groupon again.
