| - This restaurant is truly one of the best kept secrets in the valley. Unfortunately, the secret itself is going to put them out of business because nobody seems to know about this place. My wife and visited this place for the first time on August 2, 2014. It took us a little while to find because it is actually located within a condominium complex located north of Fashion Square Mall. Don't let this scare you away, the complex itself is very clean and upscale with a modern, almost Japanese charm about it. In addition, the grounds are very tropical like with an abundance of trees, bushes, vines, and flowers growing about the place. We found the parking situation a little difficult and to be honest we almost left because we did not know where to park, but thankfully I made my way over to the south side the complex where low and behold, there was free public parking available in the underground garage. Now that we are experienced Metropolites, parking is easy. We entered the restaurant to find absolutely no one in it other than a waitress. We half wondered if they were open and thankfully they were. We opted to sit outside since it was overcast that day. The outside patio has a tiki look about it with it's cedar tables and chairs, tiki torches, and futon style couches to lounge on. Umbrellas are also available for those sunny days as well as open flame heaters for those colder evenings we sometimes see in winter. In addition, the patio sits next to a water pond with fountains. With the sound of the water fountains combined with all the vegetation surrounding the patio, it's easy to forget that you are still in Scottsdale, Arizona. The sights, sounds, and smells reminded me a little bit of Oak Creek Canyon in Sedona. Anyway, we were here for brunch, but I would love to do an evening happy hour at this place. It would be a wonderful place to have drinks with friends and family and maybe a light meal. On this day, my wife ordered BLTAC sandwich which very easily could have fed the both of us. She enjoyed it very much (so did I). I ordered the Bangkok Asian Salad, which was EXCELLENT! I can't remember the servers name (Rachel I think), but anyway she was very friendly. Overall this place exceeded all our expectations and we will definitely be back as long as it stays open. I think more prominent street signs in addition to parking instructions would help the cause...ENTER ON HIGHLAND and you'll be fine.
