| - I went out here tonight with a couple of clients. I had heard some good things about it, and they were from back East, so I thought to myself, "why not?" I must admit I was not that impressed with it all.
We came here for dinner. Started out with some apps, and ordered the Monster Platter. Complete with "sliders" on it that rivaled a Jumbo Jack for shear size, this could easily feed a family of four for a week. Thank God there were 10 of us. Most everyone ordered steak for dinner, and most were impressed. I, on the other hand, was not that impressed. All I could taste on my steak was butter, not meat. I almost had to reach for the A1 Sauce, a cardinal sin in my mind with steak, just to make it edible.
Since we all had a round of golf in the morning, none of us opted for the giant 3-liter beer option they had. But the booze selection, including wine, was quite impressive. Service all around was very attentive. And for those of you that love your barely-18 and barely-100lbs servers that Scottsdale is serving up on a daily basis, this is a great place for you.
There were a few people in our group that opted for the bull ride, a nice little touch that gave this place that little something extra to set it apart from the other Old Town places. All things considered, I don't think I'd head back here. I can get a better steak at a Chili's-type place, and the atmosphere (comprised mainly of your younger Scottsdale-types) didn't really do all that much for me.
A couple other things of note: their happy hour only goes until 6:30 (boo!!) but they do have a daily brunch that, strictly reading off the menu, did not look half bad. I may have to check that out some day.
