The three is the benefit of the doubt. I met some friends here for dinner--from the beginning the service timing was just off and the place wasn't that crowded--in fact two of the male employees kept cruising through the dining room to catch up on basketball game that was on a TV above our table. At first the waiter was hovering and then when we needed something was no where to be found--she was certainly nice enough but didn't seem to be into the job which I get.
Anyway--I ordered the chicken sandwich--it was inedible--have you ever bitten into to something and it had the taste of a kitchen sponge that is past is prime--well that was the chicken. The manager came by and said the chicken was fresh which I believe--but something was terribly wrong. they did the right thing and took it off the bill. other dining companions said the Kale Salad and the Burger were good, but the shrimp in the shrimp salad were rubbery.
The restaurant is rustic and definitely honors the roots of old Scottsdale--I think going back there for a drink would be fine--but I don't think i would ever leap up and say we have got to go to dinner here. The prices were reasonable--but even at that price point there is a lot better food to be had--even in Scottsdale.
