  • Stopped by on St. Patrick's evening with my wife for our first visit. I was a perfect night to sit on the patio in Phoenix. It was a late dinner on a Thursday night so we were two of a handful of patrons. Prompt service. Good food. Relaxing atmosphere. Large portions. Started with the prosciutto wrapped stuffed mushrooms that came with an "aged cheddar tarragon sauce." Excellent start. When the plate is presented it is a bit bland looking. There isn't much contrast or color with the mushrooms and sauce. But the taste of both components was amazing. The mushrooms stood on their own very well taste/texture/balance, but when the tarragon sauce was added it completely changed the dish - the sauce really brought out the sweetness of the risotto-based stuffing. The dish came with lots of sauce (almost with fondue texture and feel). When the server came to clear the course we ask that the sauce be left and for some bread for dipping. Very good. We order two entrées: Herb crusted lamb with a cheddar waffle and Chorizo Risotto; and a pesto cream sauce pasta dish with a roasted tomato stuffed with shrimp and sausage. The lamb was perfectly cooked and seemed to go well with the waffle. However, the risotto overpowered the lamb and the chorizo flavor lingered. The waffle and lamb were great together. The pasta dish had wonderful flavor and every component went well in the dish. Probably the only criticism is there was way too much sauce for my taste. It almost looked like it was a soup. It easily had twice as much sauce as it need so I really did not get a chance to enjoy the texture and nuances of the noodles themselves. OK this ended up being way too much food especially since we devoured the tarragon sauce and bread. We took a couple of boxes of leftovers home and were in no shape for desert. Next time I think we will go with an appetizer and one entrée. One thing that was interesting is that salt and pepper are not available on the table. (I'm thinking, oh one of those kinds of chefs.) But after the dishes were served and we had a chance to taste the offerings the server came back and asked if we would like additional salt or pepper. That was a nice approach. BTW, the toasted bread did need some salt when dipped into the tarragon sauce. I think if the lamb was served with some kind of greens instead of the risotto and the Pasta had significantly less sauce I would have be temped to give this a 5 star rating. Instead it is a solid 4 stars.
