Look, I like to think I'm a regular here because I visit this place more than any other in Scottsdale. The bar's great. Food's great. Service is outstanding. So, I phoned Dec. 30 to see if I could get bar seats reserved for New Year's Eve...knowing it's first come, first served, and that it would be packed. Left a message. Within the hour the Chef personally returned the call, instructed me to just phone ahead 5 minutes before arrival and they would do the best they could. So, I did. They didn't have to go out of their way, but they certainly did make it easy to get seating at 8:15 PM on New Year's Eve. It's the little things, and they do it all VERY well.
App menu is outstanding (inc. charred calamari, and lamb chops). Wines by the glass are solid. Staff is well trained, and they go out of the way to help you enjoy your experience. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
P.S. The filet on NYE's special menu was cooked to perfection and nails. That is all.
