| - I was really excited for this restaurant to open. It's in the neighborhood and is the same owners as The Grind (which is really good!). I was very disappointed. First of all, the wine. They have a great selection but they charge you for a taste of wine. It's all calculated by a machine. If you want a taste, half or full glass, they plug it into a computer and a machine pours the wine. Call me crazy but I prefer an actual human pouring the wine.
That being said, the real problem was the food. It was bad... Actually awful! We had the fried pickles (soggy, tasteless) the truffle chicken (forgettable) some peach sauce (strange), biscuits (dry, unpalatable), and peach cobbler. The worst was the cobbler. First of all, it was NOT a cobbler. It was a skillet with peaches (un-peeled, half cooked, hard) with granola on top.
We spoke with owner and told him our opinions. He seemed open to them and very receptive. However, that was three months ago and reading Howard Seftel's review in the Arizona Republic this morning, obviously nothing has changed.
