Noisy beyond belief and apparently designed for high turnover. Went on a Thursday night at the behest of trendy foodie friends. The excuse for the noise level -which was off the charts- you literally had to scream to be heard by the person across the table from you- was that two large parties had booked the patio but didn't like the heat so they had to be relocated indoors. Um...it's Phoenix, people. In June. Really?
Both the banquette and chair seats were less than comfortable even for small, trim people and after the "large parties" left, the noise level was still very high thanks to concrete floors, high ceilings with inadequate acoustic baffling and vast expanses of bare walls and glass. I sensed a need for turnover...lots of turnover.
Food was pretty good for Phoenix - nouvelle American but a bit trite. I've had much better; Cibo comes to mind. Actually, what I get at home comes to mind. And my ears aren't ringing for an hour afterward!
