| - i have to say, the mac n cheese was VERY good! and the brussel sprouts were ok, i've cooked better in my microwave.
our first let-down...no one was there. we were one of 3 couples eating there (7pm), and by 8:15, we were the only people, on a saturday night. it felt almost like we were in a scottsdale version of The Shining.
the portions are painfully small, which can be a good thing with so many overweight folks bobbing along these days...but...the prices!
which shouldn't really be a complaint. we knew what we were getting into when we made reservations here, however, i was not at all impressed with my food. paying over the top prices for small portions at Sanctuary was well worth it...at cielo, not so much.
there was only one fish dish on the whole menu, and they were out of that...odd because like i said, only 3 other couples were dining. they must have caught only 3 fish for the night. we had to get the scallops without the fancy bacon (which were tasty...not the bacon, the scallops) and the ravioli things...my dish. small and within seconds, cold and gummy. our eating partner got a pizza and it was way too bready and had virtually no red sauce.
the service was good and the decor was outstanding. but i'm just so miffed about a) running out of fish when there was virtually no one else in there and b) the price to food to taste ratio. i know fancy places don't care, but we won't be back....or i won't. my wife liked hers and she keeps the credit card.
