| - This is one of my favorite places for lunch in Phoenix/Scottsdale so far! Really delicious food, beautiful ambiance, excellent service - and at a very reasonable price.
We came here yesterday and were pleasantly surprised to see that happy hour is from 11-6:30. The weather was incredible so we sat outside in their beautiful courtyard. The decor is modern contemporary, and they play soft pop/R&B from the 90s and 2000s, which is kind of mellow in an unpretentious way. We had a really sweet waitress who made sure that our experience was very smooth.
Onto the best part - the food --- When the bread is incredible, it's just such a good sign! The balsamic vinagrette with the oil is really excellent quality. I almost asked them where they get it, because we've been having trouble finding good balsamic out here. After the bread, we had Mini Ciabatta Sliders, which come with ricotta, basil, asiago, EVOO, and fig jam that is to die for! Then I ordered the Grilled Cheese and Short Rib sandwich, which came pressed with arugula, caramelized onions, manchego & cheddar. Again, AMAZING. My husband ordered the Bistro Tender & Panzanella Salad, which is served with grilled beef tenderloin, organic tomatoes, red onions, olives, romaine, croutons, and drizzled with balsamic reduction. He took a bite and was like "Wow, this is REALLY good!"
I cant stress enough how good the food is! The fresh ingredients, delicious flavor profiles, unique combinations... it really feels like the person who is making your food cares deeply for it, and it makes a big difference!
I will definitely be back!
