| - This restaurant in Scottsdale turned out to be surprisingly good, though lacked just a couple of things for me to rate it a full 5 stars. In short, the food selection was excellent, beer & wine choices aplenty, but the ambiance suffers a bit due to a very basic covering of the walls and very little sound dampening. It was very loud from neighboring tables and was hard to have our own conversation!
Our server was very knowledgeable on the beer offerings (extensive), and picked out a Four Peaks Kiltlifter for me that turned out to be very good (I had never had it before). As for the food, I had the Grilled Pork Tenderloin, which is served with butternut squash puree, sauteed green beans, and warm apple compote. Very delicious! The only suggestion I have for the chef would be to add a small portion of starch, say some baby reds or mashed potatoes. Our server also agreed with this. :-)
The dessert also impressed - the Cookie Dough Skillet is a large, fresh baked, warm chocolate chip cookie in an iron skillet, topped with vanilla bean ice cream. OMG this was GOOD!!
With decent service, and outstanding food, I rate this 4 stars only because of the environment issues with too much noise.
