Came here last night for dinner with my wife. We are big fans of Binkley's up in Cave Creek and excited to try his newest establishment in Scottsdale. The place was fairly empty when we got there, but it was a Monday evening. The place was decorated very nice and modern. They have a nice bar area for drinks if you prefer.
We started with the pumpkin soup which was delicious but be warned that it is sweet. It was so velvety smooth that I had to restrain myself from licking the bowl. For our main course we chose the sand dabs for my wife and the duck breast for me.
I wasn't too impressed with the sand dabs. It was three thin filets that were pan fried with brown butter and then covered in slivered almonds. For a a nice restaurant I would expect to see something like Chilean sea bass, halibut, mahi mahi, or something more exotic.
My duck breast was great. Perfectly cooked but served in an oval bowl that I found hard to cut into bite size pieces. I would rather see it served on a plate, maybe with a side of something.
All in all it was a good meal and I would return to try some other dishes.
