| - Was surprised last month by a date night in Old Town. Scott was soooo excited to take me to a wine/tapas joint which he researched, and it seemed promising.
One * removed for the ridiculous $5/each cover charge (this is not a "club") I wanted to turn and leave then, but we'd made the trek, and we begrudgingly paid and went in. Tacky. Pay the band, don't charge your customers.
One * removed for the oppressive heat inside! This is AZ, in the summer: plan accordingly, and keep it at a below inferno temp.
Now, to the good: dark and sexy spot, the band was great, and we thoroughly enjoyed our cheese & charcuterie, wine, and the warm, crusty baguette. Seating at high two top was AOk, but we were too close to the band, which made conversation difficult. The hostess did offer to move us, but only available spot was outside kitchen door. The couches looked comfy, and can be reserved.
Service was very good, checking back and refilling water, etc. I would return if in Scottsdale, but great wine bar options in Chandler with similar fare, no cover, and comfy temp will keep me from going out of my way to return.
