| - BETWEEN FAIR AND GOOD.
We went here on a Friday night. I had short ribs, which were a big pile off the bone and recommended by the server, huge portion, tasty, and in general pretty good (I shared with everone and they were a hit with young and old).
My wife had the tuna, which was at best average. I'm terrible cooking fish, and I do better.
What shined were the side dishes. I dislike cornbread normally, but the cornbread caserole was filling and outstanding. The mashed potatoes with cheddar tasted several hours old, but still were good. My wife tried the cornbread and like it, but also tried the carrots and said they were very, very plain and disappointing.
Children had standard fair chicken fingers and fries for $5. Other option was buttered pasta. Can't complain about the price, but it would be nice if they had something a little healthier or interesting for the kids, like a very small portion of the short-ribs, which my kids loved.
So here is the verdict... setting was pretty nice, especially in the enclosed patio, but food was just okay for an upscale restaurant, and in general overpriced. For $20-30 entrees, I expect tastier better food.
However, quantities were nice.
Use your GPS, because it's easy to get lost finding this place. Just when you are about to turn around because it's residential, look to your right and it's there.
Would I be back? Perhaps. I would like to try the happy hour (we just missed it) and try greater variety. But I think there are definitely much better options in this price range in this portion of Phoenix (for example, Sierra Bonita Grill up the street comes to mind).
