This will go down as one of the best meals of my life. The service, the ambiance, the decor, the drinks and the food were all impeccable. Who knew there was such a gem disguised in old building with old signage in the middle of Phoenix?!! You would expect this place to be in Hollywood.
The leddies and I started off with a round of up and dirty Grey Goose martinis from the main bartender who was working most of the bar on this busy Saturday night. He seemed a little annoyed when I added two more martinis just after putting in an order for two, but I tipped him well and then he was all chatty. Well played, buddy. His drinks were awesome too...made perfectly!
We then we seated and ordered a bottle of house Pinot Noir, which was delicious. We then got the bread, which has some amazing butter garlic sauce oozing all over the top of the loaf. My house salad was tasty, but the star was my entree - scallops with a baked potato. The odd thing was the waitress asked me how I wanted my scallops cooked, which has never happened before. They are not steak...just cook them normal. And the chef did and it was perfect. We also got a side of asparagus, but no one touched the hollandaise sauce. That is how good the asparagus tasted.
Our waitress was attentive and took great care of us. Even the water girl made sure our waters were filled at all times.
