I have been consistently disappointed in the service at most Scottsdale restaurants since moving here about six months ago. Can't say that about this joint. Our waitress was Lindsey and she was on the ball from the second we got there. Ordered a pear martini and a craft beer flight, calamari for appetizer and then shared the shrimp tacos and bleu cheese burger that was on special.
The main courses were a little cold when they came out, but the flavor was great for everything so it wasn't a deal breaker. Calamari was crispy and fresh, the aioli to dip them in was perfectly seasoned and both the tacos and burger were cooked and seasoned to perfection.
While removing the plates from our table, a salsa spilled and splashed onto our clothes. This kind of thing happens often to us, for reasons unknown, but the way it was handled was as good as it could be without discounting the check. After apologizing, the manager stopped by to make sure everything was ok.
While there I noticed you can get 1/2 price off your pizza if you're there before or after a movie, which is something to remember for next time. The prices were still a little steep, but hands down the best service we've had at any joint in this mall. Since the only other one I've been to was in Tempe Marketplace, this location definitely impressed me more!
