FnB is a charming little eatery in the downtown Scottsdale area. The menu offers some unique combinations of food and beautifully presented dishes. We ate here for lunch and had the grilled trout rillettes. They were served on a wooden board with a lovely selection of grilled ciabatta(?) bread, regular and sweet potato chips, arugula, fresh tarragon, pickled egg, pickled beets and a creamy horseradish sauce. The rillettes were well sealed by the layer of (duck?) fat on top of the small glass jar and a treasure trove of trout with cream and herbs lay underneath. The taste was delicate and spread very nicely on the bread. While I loved the horseradish sauce it overpowered the mild taste of the rillette so I had to put the barest amount of it on the bread. As for the other elements on the wooden board, I enjoyed the peppery arugula, fresh aromatic tarragon and vinegary sweet pickled beets. The pickled egg was a beautiful cheery magenta red color. I couldn't taste a lot of pickled flavor in it though and the egg had a slight greyish tinge around the yolk. Unfortunately some of the potato chips were stale and chewy while others were light and crisp. After running out of grilled bread I actually spread the rest of the rillettes on a potato chip to discover I preferred this combination over the bread due to the contrast of crispiness and light saltiness with the creamy rillette.
Service was on point. Drinks were refilled as needed and everyone here was very friendly.
I'll definitely come back again for more one-of-a-kind selections from FnB!
