The only thing going for them was good food and a neat aesthetic. But even with that, it's overpriced and I had pruny grapes with the baked brie dish. Don't serve overripe fruit....
The drinks are overpriced as well, even for lady's night when they're half-off. Table of four with three alcoholic drinks and three dinners was nearly $90... with two of those drinks half-price!
Also, the service was slow and very confused...and it was a slow night! We had to ask a server to come and order the drinks after 5 minutes of waiting. Same thing again when we wanted the check. She didn't inform us they were out of lobster until we tried to order the lobster taco and she didn't automatically reduce the lady's night drinks and had us review the check for accuracy with her there. Absolute rookie.
And like a lot of the other reviews, the in-house cover band was too loud to be able to converse with anyone at the table. The music they had on before the band was better and at a more reasonable volume.
This bar/grill is very confusing in terms of demographics. Are you a night club for twenty somethings who want to drink and dance? It's too expensive and the music sucked. Are you catering to the older, wealthier Scottsdale crowd? It's too loud and the waitresses are wearing corsets with the tops of their bras showing as if this is a classy Hooters. City North is dead.
