I had pretty high expectations.
Beautiful restaurant.
However...
Stopped in for happy hour, the beer seemed very warm and somewhat flat. Probably having some problems with refrigeration, but we're also in Arizona so I gave them a pass on this.
We ordered the happy hour mussels and chicken wings. Disastrous.
A good number of the mussels had cracked shells so We didn't know if they were pried open or just roughly handled. The texture of the mussels were chewy and the flavor was extraordinarily "fishy" and somewhat funky. Maybe they were woefully overcooked or maybe I should have known better by ordering mussels when it's 95F, it's Scottsdale and it's a sunday. Did not finish the dish because it wasn't worth the risk.
The wings had a good texture, but had all of the spice and flavor of a BF Goodrich tire. The only time in history I've actually considered adding salt to Buffalo wings just to get a little zip. Texture good, flavor terrible and well, overcooked.
Mediocre, expensive experience and I'm glad we didn't order entrees because if the appetizers were this marginal, I'm sure the steak would be as well.
Thanks, but no thanks.
