We had such high hopes having come here for the first time ...
We arrived at 9:32pm. Our hostess/server told us the kitchen just closed (early) because the cook wanted to leave early. We politely laughed it off having intended to come here for the first time for actual food other than a cheese board. So we ordered a cheese board (one of the only options) and a round of drinks. We then felt super obligated to leave at about 11p (they close at 12a) after our new waiter told a new couple who arrived at 11:05p that they were closed (they weren't closed and hadn't even called last call). He couldn't get to the door fast enough to lock it behind us. Avoid this place. It has so much potential and character, but lacks due to an extremely under experienced and rude staff. Our hostess/server was great but the waiter we were stuck with after she left was rude and extremely arrogant.
I've grown up in Scottsdale and have traveled extensively as well .. I understand how hospitality works at a classy establishment, but wow .. What an awful experience for a relaxed birthday celebration (or so we thought).
I would consider coming back for a second chance only if the owner invited us back followed by a sincere apology.
Wow, my girlfriend couldn't be more unhappy.
