I have been here three times before my Friday afternoon visit. If I had never eaten here, I would have given it 1 star, but, the food and their Happy Hour are good. I walked in the door at 1:07 pm for lunch. There wasn't any hostess, which is no big deal as being by myself I went to eat at the bar, which is where we always eat when possible.
There was probably four tables full of people inside and a couple of more outside on the patio. There wasn't anybody working behind the bar, but I assumed somebody would see me sitting at the bar and come over and wait on me or request that I sit at a table.
This was not a casual "in the neighborhood" visit. I drove from the DMV in North Scottsdale because I wanted to get their crispy cauliflower and their strawberry salad, both quite good.
It was lunch, I didn't have time to kill. At 1:15, I slowly ambled towards the front door and stopped for a couple of moments at the hostess desk. After almost ten minutes with no acknowledgment I was there, I left and went to Village Tavern.
