| - Could be contender for my favorite Phoenix restaurant.
Service - 5 Star - and that's hard to earn from me
Decor/Environment -3/4 Stars - It's okay, but felt a bit cheap to me compared to it's peers.
Food - 5 star - Everything I ate was good to excellent. Delightful.
Value - 4 star - It's not cheap, but most are reasonable, especially happy hour.
Came here for restaurant week. Very surprised to love it as much as I did.
Tip: Happy Hour is outstanding. $2.50 beers, $5 cocktail of day, $5 wine. 4-5 apps, full size portions, are $5.
My wife ordered the Pate appetizer to start, and it was a generous sized portion of pate. She loved it.
I ordered the brussel sprouts on grits. I'm not a huge fan of either ingredient, but this was a knock your socks off good combination. Very pleased.
We both ordered the chopped salad. It was just as others describe, very good. Don't expect a big salad.
I ordered the chicken chimchurri and it was a generous piece of chicken, delightful flavors, and a great spicy kick. Not too spicy, but just right. I never order chicken dishes in restaurants, but was glad i tried.
My wife ordered the duck meatloaf and shared with our son. Both loved it. Nice portion. Great flavors especially the grain it was on top of.
I had the bread pudding dessert, and I love bread pudding, but this was the weak point of the entire meal. Was much more like a thick pie, and while very edible, not great by any means.
My wife got the blonde dessert, and it was excellent. Says it tasted like great fudge.
Anyway, even with happy hour and restaurant week pricing, it was $60/person with tip. Lots of food, and very good quality. Not cheap, but IMO worth it.
We will be back, and would put this on par with St. Francis down the street... both are truly outstanding examples of Phoenix restaurants.
