| - Just so there are no surprises, this restaurant, open to the public, is in the Scottsdale Athletic Club. It has a high wall of windows that fronts the tennis courts, so without a doubt, it has a clubby feel to it, but the bright and airy type of club, not the dark woody type where you hunch over a scotch. Lots of tennis whites, well OK, and a strong majority of white folk in here too as you might expect at a tennis club, but ironically the club owner is a self-made success, immigrant from China, and a hell of a smart, hard-working guy, who happens to love tennis.
The restaurant features a lot of comfort foods like meatloaf, a rich mac n cheese, and fantastic sandwiches. My favorite lunch fare is an amazing short-rib sandwich. Wow. It knocked my socks off the first time I had it.
If you use the club or work in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by for lunch, and they also do take-out. The bar is nice, and sports-focused. Dinner is good as well, kind of pricier and more formal versions of the lunch menu.
