Once again another "this place is awesome" word of mouth place in Scottsdale that let me down. I had been hearing about this place for awhile but its kind of far so when I saw the groupon for WCG, it was the push I needed to head north.
Things that went wrong:
- I didn't know it was a must have reservations kind of place, but it is. Thats fine though- you live and you learn, but the way the hostess handled it was the problem. She was very rude, took our name and gave us the vibrator thing. After sitting for 30ish minutes we heard another host tell people coming in that they could sit in the bar area or the patio instead of waiting. Would of been nice to know when we came in!
-I don't like the fact that you have to ask for bread. If a restaurant is gonna have bread it should just be automatically taken to the table. It makes you feel like a fatty, cheap ass wanting free food when you have to ask.
-I got the chicken crepes. The madeira sauce was just a dark gravy, it just wasn't my thing so I can't blame them for me making a bad choice. What I was mad about was the broccoli. I've had better broccoli from a school food service buffet line! The broccoli was so overcooked that it turned to mush when you touched it with a fork. AWFUL! Should NOT happen at a nice restaurant.
Things that were good:
-The server
-My bf said the ribs were good. I didn't try.
-The white chocolate blonde brownie was amazing. It is the only thing that is making me choose 3 stars rather than 2.
I will most likely not be returning here. Not worth the drive or money.
