| - The Short- Great food. Love the use of local ingredients like Noble Bread and Danzeisen Dairy. Price is right for the portions and quality. Lovely view and good service.
Read further for more details. PS- I plan on coming back for happy hour when a 3 course meal isn't in the budget.
The Long:
I have had this place bookmarked for a while, and with AZ Restaurant Week, we decided to check it out (Ask for the menu, it wasn't automatically provided or advertised)
Made a Reservation, and were seated by the window. It was absolutely FREEZING but the waitress did everything she could to turn the air vent down, even offering to move us or get a blanket. Happy Hour is only on the patio and at the bar, but since we were ordering dinner, the waitress let us also pick from the Happy Hour Menu which was fantastic!
I ordered the Manhattan ($14, not on happy hour...so please update your online menu!). I have definitely had better for less...Husband ordered the Spicy Margarita which was good but small. There were lots of yummy cocktails to pick from, so maybe next time I'll try something else.
Ordered the Chicken Biscuit (only on HH for $5). LOVED IT! About the size of a chick-fil-a large sandwich which was unexpected. Hubby ordered the pickled beet and goat cheese toast on the Restaurant Week Menu ($33 bucks for 3 courses) I would love to see it on the regular menu.
Half way through dinner, we watched a guy proposed to his girlfriend at the next table...how sweet!
I ordered the salmon entree on the regular menu ($25). The Salmon was perfectly seasoned but the vegetables were a bit under cooked for my liking. Also, the plating is just weird....so much empty space on the plate didn't make me feel like the portion was enough. Hubby ordered the pork chop with corn and a fig sauce (AZ Restaurant Week Menu) and it was even better than the salmon. I wanted to lick the sauce from the plate.
For Dessert, hubby ordered a goat cheesecake with grilled fruit. I loved it because it was not too sweet. Since it was on the Restaurant Week menu, the portion was suited for 1 person. I ordered the Campfire Smores which hotchata marshmallows, which was soooo good ($6) and could easily feed 2-3 people.
The check came with an assortment of chocolate dipped marshmallows...as if we had room! Check came out to just over $100 total with tax, tip, 2 drinks, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 2 desserts. Granted we made fair use of the Happy Hour and AZ Restaurant Week menu in addition to the regular menu.
