Terrible experience. Called ahead and was told their patios was dog friendly. I bring my well behaved dogs to what is a TOTALLY EMPTY patio. As in NO ONE ELSE THERE. We sit and order a glass of wine and burgers.
When the burgers are delivered, our waiter informs us that the patio is not dog friendly and while we can stay and eat, don't bring the dogs back. The waiter then comes out 4 more times to apologize. Then the bus boy apologizes.
Turns out the person who made the call is "Chef Jason" who was more concerned about my dogs on his empty patio than cooking my food the way I ordered it. Both burgers were overcooked and tasteless. Buns were cold. Fries tasted like the bottom of the oil vat. Chef Jason would be fired from In and Out since he can't seem to cook a basic burger.
To make the visit all the more special, my waiter begged me to not "take the dog thing out on him" - meaning I shouldn't tip him badly. Seriously? I gave him 15% but that's because he was a below average server. He was slow. Didn't remember two requests for a glass of water. Couldn't remember to turn the TV to the football game and didn't even ensure we had tableware. Had to beg a bus boy for that.
I was there during happy hour. Don't waste the stop. $1 off beer/wine and $1 off a select group of appetizers.
If you want to watch sports, you'll need to do it inside. Their patio only has one TV.
They have four so-so beers on tap. The selection is almost minimal and boring now that even chain restaurants are getting more mirco brews. In fact the Chevron station at Litchfield and McDowell has better beers at their growler station. A gas station beats this upscale bar.
Consider I was here on a Saturday afternoon during an NFL playoff game - the barrenness of the patio should speak volumes on the restaurant.
For local folks who support these places after the tourists melt, I'd appreciate more respect. If my dogs were causing a problem, I could see asking them to leave. But two well behaved dogs on an empty patio ... What a jerk, chef jason. Go back to Denny's where your sub-standard culinary skills blend in.
