We arrived in the area early to drop my sister-in-law off at the Phx Airport and decided to try something new. We arrived early and were escorted to our table by lovely hostess without delay.
Our waiter John was polite, helpful and the entire staff was attentive without being obtrusive. I went with the recommended seafood chowder as John explained the chef was from Boston and knows how to make an excellent chowder. It was thick, packed with seafood and was really tasty, but was not like other chowders I enjoyed while visiting the Boston area. I also ordered a salad with the recommended orange balsamic dressing (not really a fan).
The Ribeye was excellent, as was the baked potato although it was rather small. Desert consisted of chocolate cake that would have been excellent with a red wine if I had more time to indulge...
Overall we were glad we experienced it, however there was a birthday party two tables over. The staff delivered a cake with several candles and thankfully they didn't sing, but some obnoxious female in their party did and we understood when another large party got up from their table and left the restaurant before ordering. She was loud and was not entertaining. The staff was great, it's too bad the patrons weren't.
Overall this is a great restaurant with an incredible bar. They do have private rooms for parties and the atmosphere is really nice. Everything was clean including the restrooms. It is a little pricey, but not unreasonable considering the level of service, quality of the food and the atmosphere. We will be back, hopefully not at the same time as the singing patron.
