We went to this place on Saturday night after reading about it online - with not a whole lot of options in the N. Scottsdale area for decent food this place was a refreshing change. We didn't have a reservation, and as a Phoenix newbie I wasn't aware of the McGrath following until we arrived at the restaurant on a holiday weekend... it was packed! We were able to grab a table at the bar, and we were very intrigued by the menu. We split the shrimp appetizer and I had the green chile pork while my husband had the burger. I was expecting the pork to be a bit spicier, although it was still good, and my husband ordered the burger medium, it came out well done. The fries were awesome. Like the other reviewers, I agree it's a new restaurant and the kitchen and the service still needs a little fine tuning. While our server was incredibly nice and helpful, they just forgot utensils for 10 minutes while our appetizer sat in front of us and we couldn't wave anyone down for their attention even though they kept speeding past us. But we'd go back again, nice vibe, cool atmosphere and quite the crowd. We were the youngest couple there by 20 years, but this seems like a hip happening place for the snow leopards!
