| - My wife and I celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary with the SWB's "Wine Me, Dine Me" experience, and we were thrilled with the service, quality of the food dishes, and the inter-activeness with the staff.
Chef Juan and Pasty Chef Jessica particularly went above-and-beyond to make us feel welcome and to have a most memorable evening. Chef Juan was warm and candid with us as we interacted through the evening. Chef Jessica spent some time early in the evening getting to know us before selecting the perfect desert treat for us.
This was our first time to participate in the "Wine Me, Dine Me" experience, and it was very neat to sit at the kitchen bar overlooking the chefs' work-stations and to be able to talk to them as they prepared our meals and the meals for others in the dining area. I especially enjoyed the presentation and explanation of each dish; was interesting to hear their concept and thought beyond each dish.
As noted by others below, the service-level was beyond our expectations, and we especially appreciated the one-on-one interactions with Chef Juan and Chef Jessica. The four-course meal was perfect, and we really liked the food pairings with top-notch tequila and a few local Arizona wines. Afterwards, we enjoyed an awesome gondola ride and were treated to a few wonderful songs from Marcus the Gondolier. Before calling it an evening, we sat in the lounge area and listened to a wonderful singing, guitar player (already forgot his name, though).
Overall, we had a wonderful evening, and I give this dining experience 5-stars!
