| - We were looking for a different experience and a quick meal before attending a Mercury game. Friends recommended this location. We checked out the reviews ahead of time, so we knew what to expect for parking, but got lucky to find street parking on a Saturday night. The Found:Re hotel looks pretty interesting. We really liked the brightness and openness or the bar and restaurant areas, along with the industrial/contemporary, yet comfortable décor.
I liked that they brought a large corked bottle of cold water for the table - this time of year in Phoenix, it's important to stay hydrated. I ordered an Orchid Spritz - it was good but a little pricey.
Because they change the menu often (farm to table), my husband was a little disappointed that some items were not available (escargot, pizza), but I was intrigued by the variety of their spring menu. We were so glad we tried the Cauliflower Coconut Fritters. They were done perfectly and were so flavorful. My husband would have liked a little more of the green chili aioli sauce for dipping. I could have made a meal out of these!
We both were craving a salad, but it didn't appear they offered a side salad, so we split the Caesar salad. It was really unique - fresh greens, crisp cherry tomatoes. It had onions, hard-boiled egg and crunchy croutons. It's always challenging to get a balance of enough but not too much dressing - I felt this one was a little light - I couldn't really get a sense of the flavor of the dressing, but my husband liked it.
My husband and I ordered the Hamburger and the Flank Steak respectively. Each came with fries (which were perfectly prepared -soft on the inside, crisp on the outside) with your choice of sauces. We got both catsup and garlic aioli. We asked for each to be prepared medium rare - and both were definitely far closer to rare than medium rare. Fortunately the meat was flavorful and good, or we would have asked to have them recook it. So be sure to ask your server to define what medium rare looks like if you are squeamish about under-cooked meat.
The burger had Swiss cheese and sun-dried tomatoes (yum!) - it came with onions, but my hubby had them put them on the side. My steak was delicious - a bit pricy ($22) for the size - it only looked to be 4-5 ounces.
Our server was Brittany, and she was great. Just the right blend of attentiveness, information and giving us space to enjoy the meal. Very timely with the check once we let her know we were trying to make the tip-off for the game.
We most definitely will be back to try their brunch and lunch menus. It will be a great place to meet friends. BTW- the light rail stops just south of the restaurant, so that takes care of the parking issue next trip!
