| - I was conflicted on giving 2 or 3 stars here for a few reasons. I'm a glass half-empty kind of gal, so I'll start with the negatives:
1) Service was dog crap. Pure dog poop. Our waitress was snotty and slow and not very helpful.
2) Food was either REALLY good or REALLY bad depending on what you ordered.
3) Price was too pricey for what you got.
4) Drinks were meh.
Positives:
1) The manager on duty was great and very helpful.
2) The duck confit flatbread was AMAZING. I'm not sure I've enjoyed a flat bread dish like that...well, ever. Flat bread is usually one of the last things I'd order.
3) The hummus is quite possibly the smoothest, most delicious hummus I've had around Phoenix.
4) AMAZINGLY good tacos - I had the fish, but tasted the pork and I'd order them again...very good food.
Overall summary:
It's in DC Ranch, the environment is pretty nice. I went with 2 other people (one person had a Groupon) and we all agreed it wasn't overly easy finding something on the menu we were dying to have. I ordered the chicken schniztel (too lazy to Google how to spell that correctly) and a fish taco (b/c they were $3 that night) and the fish taco was amazing (even though I had to send it back originally b/c she gave me a salmon taco, not tilapia. I love salmon, but not in a taco...step it up people). One of the other people I went with ordered a shrimp pasta dish and he didn't like it...that's saying a lot b/c this person would eat anything and be happy with it.
So - overall, unless you have a coupon or some huge reason to go there, I wouldn't waste my time. I know they promote the "farm to plate" mentality, but whatever, I'm not really a bleeding heart like that so that means zero to me. If you do go, order the Route 29 Martini (made with a Reisling wine) and the hummus for sure. And good luck with the service.
