| - Salut is great. Really great. I've had it bookmarked forever, and finally when a friend was visiting from St. Louis I suggested stopping here for dinner on Thursday night before we drove on up to the art walk in Scottsdale.
We had the hummus nachos to start, a delicious Old Fashioned for me, and a couple of glasses of house pinot grig for her. She had something healthy like the quinoa bowl or something for her entrée...I don't know...I wasn't really paying attention because I had the malbec burger and that was perfect. The burger was full of flavor and I think they must grind them up fresh because it was so moist and tender. The bun holds up well, and with the shrooms, caramelized onions, and provolone, that was a fantastic burger!
Chris was our server, and when we were trying to guess where he was from due to his accent, I finally just asked him. He said, "Cyprus", and oh my God, my dining companion then just started talking to him in Greek and they had a whole back and forth thing. I had no idea what they were saying, but it was pretty cool to witness. He said he rarely runs into someone he can converse with like that. I didn't want to tell him she only learned Greek to meet men on her vacations! BAHAHAHA! I'm just kidding.
No I'm not. She has a boyfriend on every island.
So then I had to take my Mr. back this morning for brunch. It just doesn't get much better than this for sure. We started with the hummus nachos, because you should, you really should. He then had the Morning burger and I ordered the chicken & waffles. We went halvsies on everything and it was a great brunch. I think their burgers might be the best I've had in this city so far. It's a close contest between them and Fibber Magees/Skeptical Chymist's rasher burger.
A medium rare juicy burger with cheese, bacon, AND an egg? Yep. Heaven!
The waffle was so nice and light, perfectly fried chicken, and the cinnamon butter with the syrup is a nice touch.
He had a tripel and I had their coffee, which was fantastic as well. Lovely, rich flavor. That brunch is leaving me fat and happy for the entire day. I can't wait to go back. Chris was our server again today and he is really wonderful. Attentive and funny without hovering over us too much.
The only thing I don't like is the music tends to have a lot of thumping bass, and I just don't care for that. Especially at the end of a long day, after dealing with my high maintenance boss, I really don't want dance music thumping in my brain. And the music was a little aggressive at brunch. I think that belongs after 9:00 p.m. when the youngsters are all coming out, and the old men who like to hit on youngsters, and they are looking for someone to rub up against for the night. Not really the right music for brunch or happy hour in my opinion, BUT that won't keep me away. Stellar place! Now that we've been, we'll be back many more times.
